Why Kyle Korver’s words on white privilege and racism matter (basketball barf)
The undefeated ^

Posted on 04/09/2019 10:25:40 AM PDT by Cubs Fan

LeBron James, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony are among the NBA stars who have been outspoken about racism and social injustice in recent years. Never forgotten will be their speech before the 2016 ESPYS telling the worldwide audience, “Enough is enough.” The common denominator among those four men, of course, is they are African American. And currently more than 75 percent of the NBA’s players are black.

Korver speaking out about white privilege while playing in front of largely white audiences, however, speaks louder than James, Paul, Wade and Anthony combined. It resonates because it’s rare to hear from white athletes acknowledging racism and the pain their black teammates go through.

That’s exactly why Japan has been free to be Japanese. It is only whites that must be destroyed.

How much crap are white people going to take...I mean, really? This is ridiculous.

Ironically the further we get away from "history" the more the grievance mongers are using it to extract the things they want. Look at the democrats and their Mainstreaming of reparations BS. This is only going to get worse.

Whites are the only group expected to apologize for their race. This confers inferior status upon whites which is a textbook definition of racism.

Moron moneyed ball dribbler says he will hold white people “accountable” for what they have done to black people.
