Spurs coach Gregg Popovich: Don’t kid yourself, ‘we live in a racist country’
Market Watch ^ | February 13, 2018 | Shawn Langlois

A reporter last night asked San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich why it’s important for the NBA to celebrate Black History Month.

Popovich isn’t one to pull any punches:

‘I think it’s pretty obvious. The league is made up of a lot of black guys. To honor that and understand it is pretty simplistic. How would you ignore that? But more importantly, we live in a racist country that hasn’t figured it out yet.’

We do live in a racist country.

People openly talk about murdering white people, annihilating “whiteness”, “white privilege”. .. . yep, this is a racist anti-white country.

Imagine if there were:

State of the White Union
Congressional White Caucus
White Businessman’s Association
White Lives Matter
Ivory Magazine
NAAWP

Must liberals be hypocritical liars on EVERY issue?

Wait, don’t answer that.

A little racist, homophobic, sexist, you name it. So what? All countries are that way.

I agree! White people in this country are discriminated out of Colleges, college entrance, entertainment networks, even political caucuses. We live in a racist country.

Said no more to the NBA after my favorite team, the Warriors, started spouting racist and anti Trump nonsense. Every time these guys bloviate about racism or politics they have got to be losing big chunks of their fan base.

Leftards who see everything thru a color lense are indeed a bunch of racist bastards!
Conservatives on the other hand judge people by the content of their character.

Yes, he’s right. Blacks are ten times more likely to assault whites than vice versa. I might want my white daughter to marry a white guy, but I’m not going to mistreat any person because of skin color. If that’s racist, it’s the mildest possible manifestation of racism that I can think of.

Another reason I have not watched an NBA game in twenty years.

What I find incredibly interesting is how 13% of our population became the Rulers? How did that happen? What are they going to do when the Muslims decide they don’t like that and they are the Rulers?

Why can’t we have a white boy league? I am not interested in a black boy league. I mean, why?]

It should get interesting.

Well ah gess we do. It’s all those Democrats telling the black folks that it’s unfair that they’re not white, and telling the white folks that it’s unfair that they’re not black.

I think 12 of the 17 on Pop’s roster are black - he is racist? His little protegee - Steve Kerr - is a wild lib, always bad mouthing Trump.

He's right. And as soon as blacks stop hating and disparaging and killing whites solely because they are white, we'll be a lot better off.

Popovich is simply trying to get cred with NBA players. Nice try Gregg. Now go piss-off.

"Well, it seems to be more racist now than it was 10 years ago."

That alone entirely exposes the artifical construct of the lean-forward-on-crutches identity politics madness of the Democrat Party.
