    If all of the politicians suddenly lost their power and influence then blue collar crime would decrease everywhere.

    He went on saying some pro athletes behave as if they are above the law and referenced what he said was the NBA’s mar1juana policy that suspends players after a third offense.

    Sooo... He said something stupid. Clarified his statement removing any and all doubt of how stupid. Poop hits the fan. Apologizes. How sincere do you think he is?

    The guys you listed have have collectively been convicted of what? Also this guy was talking in comparison to the NFL. Saying that no one care about the NBA compared to the NFL. There are far more actual criminals in the NFL than in the NBA.

    So no, he's not "right" in any sense.

    Translation: If you're tall and black you will likely be a criminal or die if you don't make it to the NBA.

    And owners?

    So he was originally implying that some owners would be street criminals if not for NBA ownership?

    He is ignorant at a minimum. Most racism starts from ignorance. He probably lives in a district where most agree with him.

    SMH...

    A friend would say, brother, we need to talk about what you said.

    Others would scream "racists" first.


    I guess we need to decided how we want to react to life.

    LOL.

    How can you think like that? Someone in a leadership position says something to alludes to deep rooted racism and "its ok".
