In a passionate message in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said "it's time" for America to address and solve systemic racism.

Through a message released via Twitter on Friday afternoon, Krzyzewski said America had chosen the "easier wrong" for 400 years and denied the impact of racism.

"We see that," Krzyzewski said in the video. "And what do we do when we see it? We turn the other way. We don't solve the problem. The problem will not be solved and no problem is solved unless you acknowledge the problem. Acknowledge it. If you acknowledge it, you have the duty to solve it. We as a country have the duty to solve this problem."

"Black lives matter. Say it. Can you say it? Black lives matter," Krzyzewski said at the start of the video. "We should be saying it every day. It's not political. This is not a political statement. It's a human rights statement. It's a fairness statement."

"Do we not see the problem?" Krzyzewski asked. "The disease, the plague that has been with our country for four centuries. Do we not see systemic racism and social injustice? C'mon. We all see it. It's manifested in so many ways: criminal justice, the killings that we have seen and that we haven't seen, the denial of economic opportunities for our Black community, educational opportunities, health care. It's manifested in so many ways and has been for four centuries."

I have seen Coach K on TV many times...I watched his Team USA Basketball team playing for Olympic gold...

I think Coach K is a fine basketball coach...But, I am disappointed with his statements...

I like saying "All lives matter"... Black Lives Matter movement is not some nonpartisan organization... It has Marxist philosophies...It tries to make blacks angry at whites...It does not want to discuss black-on-black crime... Does Coach K know about those details about BLM organization?

I think "Black lives matter" is a political statement...

Coach K also mentioned "systemic racism"...He did not really give specific examples...I guess Coach K wanted to talk about "white guilt"...

What happens if they cancel the Basketball season. Does Coach K. Still get his $millions?

[Lysandru]

Here's a simple hypothetical question. Young John Smith has a black father and a white mother. When filling out college applications, which race should he put down to maximize his chances of admission?

Second question: Why do black people still voluntarily immigrate here from Africa?

[nonsporting]

It’s a neo-marcist insurrectionist statement.

The statement is a rallying cry for the job to commit violence and property crime.

It’s racist.

Duke's Mike Krzyzewski: 'Black lives matter' a human rights statement, not a political one.

Excuse me, but when did Mr. Krzyzewski earn his advanced degree in Political Philosphy?

Also: Then it follows that "White lives matter" would likewise be a human rights statement, right, Mr. Krzyzewski?

Coach K has been part of the system for years and has been well paid for his participation. Based on recent resukts, he is a part of the systemic failure. Will he pay back his profits for faikure, or is personal responsibility not part of white guilt?

I knew what Mike Krzyzewski was made of back in 2006, when he didn’t lift a finger to help his fellow coach Mike Pressler during the Duke Lacrosse attempted lynching.

[Veggie Todd]

He should resign and demand, DEMAND, that a black should take his place.

Which member of the Duke faculty that falsely accused the white kids of rape wrote this for you rat face?

[RonnG]

“All Lives Matter “is a huuman rights statement. ‘Black Lives Matter’ is a political one.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Yeah, Big Tough Guy, give your prestigious job to Johnny Dawkins

By the way coach is “systemic racism “letting kids in college by lowering academic standards just because They can play sports.

And making millions on your W-2 because of it?

[seawolf101]

[mulligan]

Sorry Mike you are wrong on this matter. You fouled out. Stick to a game you understand.

[L.A.Justice]

“All Lives Matter “is a huuman rights statement. ‘Black Lives Matter’ is a political one.

In an interview, Vice President Pence declined to say “Black Lives Matter”...He said “All Lives Matter”...

I think Vice President made the right call in that case...

By the way coach is “systemic racism “letting kids in college by lowering academic standards just because They can play sports.

Thank you! What fraction of Coach K's players truly have the academic ability to do the coursework at Duke or any college? Coach K is part of a big-time college basketball system that exploits for millions of the dollars the talents of ill-prepared "student athletes," most of whom are black. Duke and Coach K get rich of the backs of young black men, none of whom are paid for their labor. Coach K is essentially an overseer on a plantation system, and he has the audacity to start spewing garbage about "systemic racism" and his affinity with the struggles of black people. Coach K SUCKS.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Never give examples and theyre never asked why are you just now speaking out against “systemic racism “

It’s all a scam

[A_Former_Democrat]

Yeah that’s pretty rich from the coach of the team that is the most hated Of all

And his failure to speak out against the lack of due process to the lacrosse players just because they were white and the hoaxer was black Drug addled Ho

[irishjuggler]

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that lacrosse case. You’re absolutely right. As a campus big shot, Coach K could have played a role in reducing the unfair, unjust treatment that those boys received. Instead he was silence as 3 innocent young men were thrown to the wolves. Coach K would sell his grandmother to gypsies for an NCAA title and a fat paycheck.

Im not a swearer but this stuff makes me almost one.!

Do people know what has gone on with the black race and why they are angry (at the wrong people)? Are they just ignorant and come out with statements that ARE ignorant.

Why cant we all agree the blacks have voted dem.
2. The dems know this
3. The dems dont have to do anything for them to get their vote.. they vote dem or get castigated by their own.
4. Years of voting dem..getting nothing but problems so they will vote dems for help they dont get.
5. Now they are still dems and mad as heck at Trump and all the rest of us..
6. While the dems stall on doing anything to help.. no.. they want to defeat Trump so no one will get anything.

I dont hear this talked about.. but its why they are out destroying... and barry is the one who told them to rebel.. and hes a dem wanting a revolution.

This is not how to fix this!

1. Good schools with promise
2. Fathers in every home.
3. Welfare should never been used to keep fathers from taking their proper place in the home and in society.
4. Respect! Pull your pants up! Speak good english
5. Jobs and dressing appropriately

For starters!

South Carolina's Frank Martin, Harvard's Tommy Amaker, North Carolina Central's LeVelle Moton and other minority coaches have called for high schools and colleges to require courses in Black history for students before their graduation.

LOL. Half their players couldn't find their own state on a map or make change for a dollar, but by all means, let's add to their "rigorous" academic load with some anti-white black history.
