Knicks Fans I'm DONE: We got the 8th Pick (Minnosota got #1 GSW #2)

[THREAD_CRITIC]

I feel you and you are correct. But this is a situation where the people want to hear where you stand. Sometimes small gestures go a long way.

I feel you. I just get annoyed cuz I feel like we’re the only race of people who look for guidance from celebrities and Sports stars during these times but Kat’s couldn’t tell you whose on the City Council and only vote during Presidential elections shits frustrating....80% black cities With a white mayor white police chief, white sheriff, White city council...change comes from that booth but you’re right little Gestures matter to whatever we can get

Black people act as if a celebrity vote counts 4000 times.. He has one vote just like the next person so a letter means nothing.

break...

So basically go Through the motions to make you happy.....The Knicks are one of the best Organizations in all of sports with hiring Minorities and women they actually do shit As opposed to releasing pointless statements imo

You totally miss the point, but ok

I get what you mean but it's more a roll call.
It's not guidance, just a "Who are you with so I can see if I fuck with you or don't going forward" thing

that's why so many companies that would NEVER say anything are saying shit clearly and loudly because they know we drive the culture and if we stop fucking with it, they're done.

now does this mean they're all good or really about it or anything, NO absolutely not. They need to put in work after this shit is over with too

But the starting block has to look he was murdered police are violent I'm with y'all on this.

and if you can't even do that while watching them murder a man over 9 minutes on tape then why would anyone want to support anything you do going forward?

You are 100% righ

and I completely agree

It is a burden that is played on all Black entertainers artists athletes etc.

But that isn't OUR FAULT

when you are systematically marginalized and oppressed

and historically whenever "regular" black folk organize especially economically?

We are DESTROYED

So the few Blacks that achieve that status and level of influence on WHITE society feel an obligation and in many ways HAVE and obligation to their people.

Yeah its unfair.

But do NOT think HISTORICALLY this was not done by immigrants groups such as the Italians Irish and Asians too.

It is just not a pop culture widely publicized thing in the modern era.

Every point you raised is inarguable

and I do not have the answer to resolve that any time soon.

I hear what you are saying But this is all entitlement. It is none of your business to what an individual thinks.

thanks cuz I been saying that for awhile now.

It's literally my business that allows them to be
So yes if I'm going to spend MY MONEY I have the right to know whether you think I should be targeted/killed/unfairly treated just for being black.

I'm with you on that. Fuck a celebrity. I'm not star struck at all. And as far as the teams and other organizations are concerned, they have never been about our struggle. Some are better than others, but at the end of the day they are all about the dollars. I'm not even mad at that either.
But like you said, give me a gesture at least, and don't overtly show me you truly don't give a fuck about the struggle.

 

[playahaitian]

we got people out here feeling GUILTY they aint speak up SOONER...

 

[jack walsh13]

you know?

I don't agree with SAS BUT

He is right

Dolan hiring all those Black folks and I mean at ALL levels

makes it difficult.

But then when he supports trump

does that sh*t to Oak the sexual harassment

the dumb dumb dumb comments

I HONESTLY don;t think he is BAD guy

he is just a dumb f*ck

and I think he wasn't LYING in that email

He REALLY is that dumb and thinks he isn't qualified to talk but his INSULTING his ENTIRE organization by saying THEY are ALSO unqualified to speak?

Speaks volumes.

Anyway I'm done.

Dan f*cking Gilbert made a statement.

Hell I might have go back and put the Cavs on my short list.

I honestly think he's bad and dumb. I'll take it a step further and say I believe he's mismanagement the team on purpose. We've seen owners do the most ridiculous shit in the world just to say they got their Frank Sinatra on and did it their way. He fits that bill to a fuckin tee. There's just so many things he does that are so unnecessary.

 

[fourthstbully]

As much money as black people spend, all these companies BETTER say something, or we need to boycott.

I usually go with whatever team wins the championship.

A New Track and a New Tack (Published 2014)

James L. Dolan says he is spending less time on the Knicks and more time with his blues band, perhaps a sign that he really will give Phil Jackson a wide berth to run the team.

James Dolan's band has a song about Harvey Weinstein

The Knicks owner and frontman for JD and the Straight Shot discussed his knowledge the allegations against Harvey Weinstein on "I Should've Known".

Let's not forget,the Knicks were one of the teams that didn't want the season to be suspended due to the pandemic....lol

If,I were the players I would somehow come together for a meeting and say we're boycotting next season til that fucking idiot is gone.
