    This is great - did you have a trans-racial experience in the last four years?

    Lots of good stuff below - seems you have a lot of things to say about defending police brutality against black men on a basketball message board.

    How would you know what's in a stranger's heart?

    Were you rooting for the season to get cancelled, or you just placed a bet that it would be?

    I'm glad the players slept on it and decided not to be so dense.

    looking at everything that was going on, the season was in question at one point. I don't think all the players want to continue playing but as a league as of now they will. Many are already sick of the bubble and this obviously doesn't do anything to help that

    Poor millionaire LBJ is getting criticism? OMG. That's horrible.

    It is possible to point out his Chinese millions and lack of international vocality

    AND

    Support the cause of ending racial injustice in America that LBJ is vocal about

    i think they need a few more days to get back into the mindset of playing playoff games after such an abrupt stop.

    I think this played a role as well.

    No, whenever you point out the hypocrisy of this that automatically makes you a Trump-slurping racist.

    Agreed,

    With this said if a cop told a green man not to get in his car and the green man started reaching in his car the green man would get shot.

    The common denominator is if people of all races dont follow the LEO's instructions they're putting themselves in danger of getting shot.

    Question.

    Do all BLM or just the one's who are killed by white cops?

    The reason I ask is I haven't heard any of these NBA players or the media up in arms after Janari Ricks (a 9 yr old boy ...who was gunned down playing in his front yard....and the color of his skin is black).

    This young boy being murdered playing in his front yard is heartbreaking!!

    Where is the outrage for Janari? Does his life matter?

    So if the cops aren't charged then no more NBA? Brilliant.

    That's it? Just ban all racists? What about sexists? What about ageists? Not good enough!
