If you were at Sleep Train Arena about 90 minutes before tipoff Monday night, you would have thought the Kings were handling major laundry duty.

Before fans entered for the game against the Milwaukee Bucks, T-shirts that were placed on every seat to celebrate the Lunar New Year were being collected and put in large piles. The shirts had a monkey on the front because this is the year of the monkey.

The shirts became an issue because they were to be distributed on the first day of Black History Month, when NBA players and coaches wear commemorative shirts.

so now a monkey is associated as a description of a person of color? Gee I never knew that......really, didn’t. They are making it worse.

Only a racist would connect the Year of the Monkey to Black History Week.

You can’t make this stuff up! Every time you think liberals couldn’t get dumber they say loudly and clearly, “Oh yes we can!” Does anyone even think in California? Are there any Black people who are offended by the implication that a sane person would not see a connection between Blacks and monkeys?

Dindu self reflection is an internal problem and defect. I’d suggest a solution but they might take it literally.

The black race seems to be calling the shots everyplace,and corporate America is letting them get away with it.

The fact that Asians,in this case,might be offended doesn’t matter at all.

So blacks equate themselves with monkeys? Is that my fault?

Yep, a Year is NOT a Week (or a Month).
