Worse? the Racism or the ref didn't call a foul?

It has to do with the solution to the incident.

If you don't want more incidents let's focus the aggression on the common enemy and not the other people/races/groups being held down.

That will only encourage more resentment and conflict between groups being ignored and under-represented. It strengthens the ability of groups in power to remain in power.

Refocus all division into unity to tackle the problem against those in charge.

Change is made by reaching up and not dividing groups who don't hold appropriate shares of control.

 

Honestly, it seems he is saying that the power structure = white people. And that white people would love for the focus to be on incidents of racism between black people and Asians. That white people are the common enemy of both. And white racists = cancer/tumors. Blacks racists or any other group = poison ivy. And we shouldn't talk about racism or hate crimes, unless it is committed by whites.

And then he posts that blacks and Asians should focus that racist aggression on the common enemy, white people

 

You know Yoda is like a little impudent Japanese Samurai. They tried to get Pat Morita " Mr Miyagi" to play Yoda at first. Rest his soul. There's good people on all sides so the "common enemy" is a trope. Political powers be damned.

 

So if the problem is that the League as an entity wants Lebron's team in the finals and will alter rules and enforce calls to give Lebron's team the advantage, than the problem isn't about Oakland and Houston. It's about making sure the NBA does not have the power to exert that kind of control.

Look back to the Black Sox scandal in baseball. Sure players that took money to throw games were wrong,but the bigger issue was the league and owners were able to take advantage of the players to the point they were willing or even found it necessary to accept the payoffs.

Tackle the bigger issues and the symptoms and by-products will be greatly reduced.

 

Lebron, to an extent, is co-commissioner of the NBA. It's not official but a behind the background sort of thing.

 

You can research for yourself who holds the power. Who has the most seats in governments, who runs the boards of the biggest corporations, who benefits from the policies those groups institute.

You can look at who suffers from those policies, expectations, and who is protected by them.

The more the people who hold power can keep attention diverted away from the fact that their power structure is an unfair advantage, the more they benefit.

Sure some folks will beleive that if they only buy into that structure they too will be given a share of the profits and the power. But that hasn't happened in general. Only for a few poster cases that can be used to keep the power in control of those that still hold it.

 

I just like how the green flashing dot sits perfectly on the end of his lightsaber when I'm logged into clutchfans or else I probably would have changed my avatar by now, maybe to La Piña Yuli Gurriel or, perhaps, World B. Free. Everybody loves B. Free.

 

You are ignoring what I said and what can help prevent more of the problems from arising.

I said that behavior shouldn't be tolerated. Those who act that way should be held accountable.

But it is counter productive and not suited to preventing further offenses to focus on on incidents like this that further divide two groups kept out of the power share rather than focus on those that hold the power share and benefit from the division.

 

Your allegiance to those that hold and abuse power has been noted.

 

Like I said you aren't understanding what I'm saying are talking about things I haven't proposed or argued for at all.

Poison Ivy should be treated. It's annoying and bad. But it isn't as big of a deal as cancer. Once we beat cancer we can focus more resources to treating posin ivy.

 

Lap dogs are almost always treated well.
