Trump has proven it is ratings GOLD to slam Black athletes. If FoxNews is smart they will take no action.

She could have said “shut up and shoot”. But that might have confused the players and endangered fans.

If these mental midgets were to actually meet with Trump, they would probably have a nice talk and a new perspective. But it’s way easier to whine, and cry “racist!” to everyone they don’t like.

If they are going to express an opinion, they should expect to have their comments scrutinized and enough decency not to cry racism when they are criticized.

Grammatical errors drive me crazy. Listening to some of the athletes at the Olympics has been painful. “Him and me did such and such.” and similar statements

And Obama was just as bad. Remember when he said, “President Bush invited Michelle and I to the White House.” arrrgh

I don't know why people are surprised that Kevin Durant and LeBron James think they're above being criticized.

It's black privilege.

What is black privilege?

It's the privilege that comes with being born black and being able to criticize anyone or anything that doesn't agree with their own, narrow world view while calling anything they disagree with as being "racist" with impunity.

Not just with impunity, the full-throated backing of the lying liberal lamestream media too!

Allow me to demonstrate: If a WHITE basketball playwer (a rare breed, I know ....) had said anything remotely similar to what Kevin Durant and LeBron James have been spewing about President Trump regarding Barack Obama, said white player would've been suspended from the team at minimum and drummed out of the NBA never to play pro sports again. We all know that's true because we saw it happen to Corporate C-Level folks, sportscasters, product spokespeople, people in our workplace and elsewhere. Anyone who dared say a critical word of then President Obama lost their job.

So what are basketball fans who are sick of black privilege and the constant cutting down of President Trump to do?

Simple: NFL the NBA.

Don't think I have to explain it. Yes, it's that simple. It's worked on the NFL. It's time the NBA learned the same lesson.

I agree completely. Blacks are the only group in this country that never have to take responsibility for their actions. Excuses are made for black failure and racism is blamed for it.

Things will never get any better for blacks as a group until the concept of personal accountability is brought back into the equation.
