Spurs coach Gregg Popovich says it's up to white people to call out racism, 'no matter what the consequences'
ESPN ^ | June 6, 2020

San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said the "country is in trouble" and he's "embarrassed as a white person" to know that George Floyd could die in such a horrific way as a police officer with a knee on Floyd's neck went about his job in such a "nonchalant ... casual" manner.

It’s up to BLM to stop the rioting and then maybe I’ll listen and be sympathetic.

Go sell crazy somewhere else - were all full up here.

I’ve actually stood up and fought against REAL racism as a white man while also helping blacks get better jobs.

FU for being a racist, and painting an entire group for the actions of a dwindling few when we can’t do that same for ANY other race or creed!

Oh, so “racism” is a “white people’s” problem? Black’s have no problem with “racism”. Just look at Antifa and BLM. No “racism” there, right? What are these idiots smoking?

Generally blacks and minorities are the ones obsessed with racial issues. And what is “racism” other than someone who is obsessed with racial issues?

This is a Leftist created and fomented tsunami of bull sh#t designed to bring Trump down. The Left never quits. Neither should we.

Okay,
The black community is the most racist group in America today.
There Greg, I said it and damned the consequences.

Bah. I called out racism during FraudCo’s illegal reign and was called a racist by his worshippers.

That’s so they can call it “racist” when white people completely stop buying NBA tickets. :)

OK George. Resign your position and make sure a minority takes you job. Walk the walk.

I will, if I ever see it. It is exceedingly rare. Even the ‘listening’ over the past week has mostly been stories of 50 years ago or fears. I desperately want the minority population not to have these fears, but the culture and the media purposely continue it. Even today at the grocery store I see see a People mag with Lies about police violence. It is enraging.

Ok. The black cashier at Walmart smiles and chats with the black customers. When my turn comes she’s rude. Won’t look at me or say anything. I think she’s a racist

Pop is aware he is a man of little athletic talent. Still he coaches black athletes and takes the job of a black man. Quit Pop, quit. You poor excuse for a human being.

I haven’t watched an NBA game since Michael Jordan played with the Bulls (so, we’re talking over 20 years ago). So, I can’t really “boycott” the NBA.

Facts are racist

Math is racist, and it needs to be removed from all college entrance criteria.

“If you are white or a cop you had better think twice about eating out right now.”

I’ve been hearing that sentiment over the last few days.

Popovich and Kerr have both been pandering to their black players by groveling about the bad white man.

Viewers have had enough of this crap and will tune out. Both these morons need a lesson in the free market.
