Salute to these White Folk out here seeking justice for George Floyd and other victims of police & promising to change their ways
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
I'm not pessimistic yet. My fam thinks Trump is going to get four more years, but I don't think so. I'm not seeing the narrative shift to be anti protester outside right wing/conservative sources and news outlets are still distinguishing between protesters and agitators. It wasn't just black folks on the receiving end of police violence. The thing is we have to get them to channel this anger into change and get them to vote and not listen to all these folks telling black people and young people not to vote. Those folks don't want to see black folks advance, they have other agenda's or fantasies involving black folks being an self enclosed community with no white people that is not going to happen.

Sadly I listen to a whole lot of sports radio
Thats how i correctly predicted the last election
That his base that who votes that the group who thinks because they wear a jersey of a black player
They not racist.
One all white station tried there best to completely ignore it.
ESPN radio covered it heavy
But if you heard the callers?
The ones who think they allies?
Woo boy we in trouble
They trying their best to wiggle out of this mess ALREADY
Just wait till sports comes back, they PRAYING for an excuse NOT to care or get involved.
I think THAT is the key
If the nfl and nba continue to protest
And in my wildest dreams?
Nhl nfl and mlb?!?!?
THEN I BELIEVE IT.
And we also have bitchass opportunists

Gregg Popovich unleashes fiery statement on Trump: 'What we have is a fool in place of a president'
sports.yahoo.com
San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich doesn’t pull his punches. You may not like what he has to say, but he’ll always tell you exactly what’s on his mind. And after nationwide protests against racial injustice and police brutality over the weekend, he had quite a lot on his mind.
Popovich spoke to The Nation’s Dave Zirin on Sunday, and he touched on several topics that are currently in the news. He began by talking about racism and police violence in response to the death of George Floyd in police custody, and how things continue to stay the same.
Popovich has spoken about Trump before, but given everything that’s happened over the past week, this time he really went in.

Then he moved on to leadership, lamenting the current resident of the White House, President Donald Trump.

As far as the protests that have sprung up across the country (and the world) since the death of George Floyd in police custody, Popovich let up on the gas pedal a little. He gave the protesters advice that he hopes will help them.
Popovich has never shied away from making political statements and standing up for what he believes in. It’s comforting that even though the NBA is currently suspended due to COVID-19, Popovich hasn’t changed one bit.
i've never found him funny until now.

We want to take a moment to speak candidly about the tragedy that is enveloping our country right now. To our Black community members, we recognize your pain and feelings of fatigue over the injustices you face every day. The color of your skin should not impact how you are treated.
Acts of injustice against Black Americans — including George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Christian Cooper, and countless others — have created an inflection point. This is a call to action for each and every one of us to do better, to speak up, and to be part of the solution.
Systemic racism is deeply rooted in our society, and it's important that Lyft supports organizations that fight it. As part of our continued commitment to communities of color through LyftUp, our transportation access initiative, we're providing $500,000 in ride credit to national civil rights organizations who have been working to facilitate essential transportation and equitable access during the recent crises (National Urban League, NAACP, National Action Network, Black Women's Roundtable and National Bail Fund Network). In Minneapolis specifically, we will be donating LyftUp ride credit to Lake Street Council to facilitate rides to volunteers assisting with rebuilding efforts.
We care deeply about your safety, and the safety of drivers, and want to make sure we're not putting anyone in harm's way. If you plan to ride, please check your local news before you head out.
We are committed to being a part of the solution. Thank you for being a part of our community.
