Isiah Thomas: ‘White Silence’ Is Violence
Breitbart TV ^ | 8-26-2016 | Trent Baker

Posted on 08/26/2016 10:52:34 PM PDT by Sir Napsalot

“I look at white silence in these issues (social injustice involving an African-American) as violence,” Thomas said. “White silence is the equivalent to violence in these issues. When you’re not standing up and you’re not speaking out for your brother, right, you and I are brothers regardless of skin color, and this is where this whole race thing, this constructed race thing really separates us in this country, and that’s what we need to get underneath because any type of mistreatment of you or oppression of you I have to stand up and speak against that.”

Why pay attention to someone who is looking for excuses, as most of Black Americans do, to excuse their lack of achievement in any realm but sports?

Didn’t seem to complain as he was cashing those big checks paid from mostly white patrons at Piston games.

I don’t stand up for thugs who attack police or resist arrest.
Every one of these incidents lately, the deceased has contributed to their own demise by their own stupid actions.
George Zimmerman was just supposed to let Trayvon beat his head into the concrete?
The office who shot Michael Brown was just supposed to let him take his gun and kill him?

Hands up, don’t shoot, DID NOT HAPPEN.

I don’t join movements based on lies.

Ah, but you can see, by the photo on the left, that a white man is endorsing this, which is a micro-aggression.

His solemn white slave master face says it!

In my case it’s not just silence, it’s civil indifference.

Actually, I did not see him stand up against the black on white hate crime inspired by BLM and other anti-white social justice warriors.

“White silence is the equivalent to violence in these issues.

Translation: It is somebody else's fault.

>>Frankly, I’m about to swear off sports. It’s all depressing. And I mean all of them.

I did that several years ago with no regrets.

I never watch any type of sports whatsoever here. I would rather entertain myself here on FR and watch repeats of Judge Jeanine and Watter’s World.

Black silence is terrorism. Witness the ""Snitches get Stitches" phenomenon sweeping the black culture in places like Chicago and Detroit. I can't speak for St. Louis, but thug culture covers for itself.

Federal crime statistics are a rebuttal to the race-grievance industry lies.

One of my old posts with the federal gov't data and links to the sources.

“He is the one that said a racist comment about Larry Bird then had to try to back out of it. Unfortunately what he said was on tape and he was trapped.”

Yes, I had forgotten about that! Thank you for the reminder! ;-)

Isaiah really lives in a vacuum, doesn’t he? He just like BLM saying that all lives matter is racist.

“White silence is the equivalent to violence in these issues...

WTF is this idiot talking about. According to FBI statistics, in cases of inter-racial violent crime, blacks commit 80% of these violent crimes, Whites commit 20%.

Judging by the above, Blacks are hardly being oppressed by Whites. I would say in cases of inter-racial violent crime, blacks are oppressing whites. Also in police shootings, whites are twice as likely to be shot by police than blacks.
