National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts expressed outrage over the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Wednesday and how the event reflected racial double standards in America.
Roberts told ESPN that her conversations with multiple NBA players throughout the afternoon kept returning to the contrast between the scene of President Donald Trump's supporters storming the Capitol with the Tuesday announcement that police officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin, would not face any charges in the shooting of Jacob Blake, who is Black.

I saw a headline somewhere earlier “World stunned by Trump supporters attack on Capitol.” My word, the media are vile.
Are you sure?
No DC police are being charged for shooting an unarmed white woman today.
“He is a she.”
That photo does not prove your case!
“Identifies as a female” as the kids say today.
That is as far as I want to proceed. :-)
Well, Michele, if it helps, Capitol Police killed an unarmed white Air Force veteran for fun today.
Hey NBA,
Take your game, and your race B,S, and shove it.
Wrong selection of items to contrast. Contrast the mostly peaceful DC demonstration with the "mostly peaceful" BLM/Antifa dominated riots at cities all over the country.
I am really annoyed that SOME, not all, black people want to talk about white racism very frequently...
USA is the not the “perfect” country...But, it is the least racist country on earth...Those rich black NBA players should appreciate that fact...
Why did this union official inject race into the discussion?
There was no good reason for that...
To mention that blacks are mistreated in America?
I think many people are getting tired of listening to such complaints...Time after time...
Constant complaining about racism...It is just annoying...
Larry Elder, one of my favorite radio hosts, rejects such behavior by some black people...He is black...
