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.’

Popoff (that wise man) says, “The league is made up of a lot of black guys.”

The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr says, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Liberals are stuck on stupid - they judge practically everything based on the most superficial, uncontrollable thing about a person: skin color. Pathetic, aren’t they?

This A-hole parades a bunch of high priced negro players paid for by predominately White patrons and has the audacity to bitch about white folks who pay his stoopid salary?
Up yours buddy.

Popovich is such a dumbass. Does he even realize the idiocy of this statement?

Please remind me which race is put at the back of the hiring / retention / promotion bus by affirmative action.

BLM has actually handed out guides telling Whites to take a backseat at events.

Pop is a helluva coach.
But so what, that doesn’t make him a great sociologist.
The whole world is and always has been racist.
Those who can - do.
Those who can’t or won’t - scream racism.

Sure, we do, but I was hoping blacks would stop being racists. I guess not.

Yes, it is filled with racist black people who hate white people. Just look at the guy who painted obama’s portrait. He also painted black people holding decapitated heads of white people.

Yes, coach, we are and for very good reason. Abominable behavior by Africans is the direct cause of white flight. The Black klans have become ever more evidence of hostile behavior to all but their own. What Klans?
Let’s name a few:
Black Lies Matter
NAACP
Black Caucus
Black history month
Black affirmative action
Set asides for Africans in education, and all manner of jobs
Black Panthers
Southern Poverty Law Center
Nation of Islam
Reverend Wright’s church
Shakedowns for Blacks
Campus Black Organizations
