    I suggest you don't call a black person a monkey though in real life Incase you actually think it's fine.

    Nice try. When monkey is used to describe a black person there really is no room for interpretation. Im sure you're not a racist right :rolleyes: so go ask your black friend how chill this is instead of white knighting for a scumbag.

    I usually don’t interact with idiots of any race normally. Don’t think I’ll have this issue come up. Most people I meet are nice

    Okay still not a good idea to call a Black person a monkey given the historical context.

    Yes exactly. That's actually a good comparison at the very extreme end. All-stars games have zero structure. Guards usually dominate those type of settings.

    Typical racist response. Tell you what Adolph -- if you ever have the privilege of visiting the USA walk up to the nearest black person and call them a monkey -- you will go home with quite the souvenir!

    In general folks don't use the word monkey to describe anyone they meet in public.
    Pretty sure the ones who uses it are being racist to African Americans.


    Like no one goes up to a perfect stranger and say stop monkeying around or u are being a monkey

    Reminds me of my first and only visit to Europe, I met some people who were doing a semester abroad and there was a black kid in the group. We would try to go to bars/restaurants/clubs and they would straight up tell you right at the door "sorry, no blacks allowed. The rest of you can come in, but he can't come in, we don't want blacks in here." Caught me off guard because you can't say that **** in America, even if the sentiment is there, they'll say something like "sorry we don't have any tables..." or whatever, like you said, people are rarely up front about it here.

    It was deliberate and inexcusable! Hiding in another country behind a keyboard is a person who has a fractured ego. A person who is whoring for attention at any cost. Sadly it is often the result of having a tiny "schwanz" ... :cool:

    Lol ... he tried hiding the racist insult by typing in German!
    Oh what a wicked webb we weave when we first attempt to deceive...:D

    I can't know the intent, but in any case, it was unnecessary and wrong, and should not distract from the topic of this thread, which is that Silas and Higgins are an embarrassment, they only got to where they are because of nepotism, they have no individual achievements to speak of either as players or as coaches, and their scapegoating of a 20 year old kid who is actually by far our best prospect, with the highest basketball IQ (which neither of them has shown any evidence of actually having) is a disgrace.

    I agree that Nepotism is pretty much the only reason Silas has a NBA gig at all.

    Maybe u got the brain from a monkey if u dont get it. With what i wrote in germany i wanted say how stupid silas is and assshole. I didnt thought he is black and people would freak about it. Like i said we use the word monkey iften to describe someone as stupid. I dont care uf someone is black, whire, green or blue i judge the person not his skin coulor, age or the person is rich or poor i dont care that but go cry more if u still dont get it
