But BGOL will still insist NBA players images and perception arent hand crafted from how they speak to who they date and have kids by. Our brother has white handlers coaching him and hes just a bum. Imagine if he were a NBA superstar.
I tried to give him the benefit of doubt, not everyone protests in the same way... Then he explained why he did it...
^^^^
It was the explanation or lack there of that killed me.
You want to do this fine
You want to pull Jesus in ok
But if THAT is your "explanation" if that is "mission"?
Nope not gonna be able to do
Now that cacs are getting on board with kneeling... that nukka had to be... that guy...
.
Jordan is the wealthiest bottom bitch in pro sports history, thanks to Phil Knight.
Yup
Because police are pulling back and not doing their job
They are upset people don't like them murdering innocent black folk.

They’ve been confederate with the racists in oppressing the so-called black community since they hit this land, which is why they are favored. @kefta doesn’t like to face this truth.
Jasonblacc is grifting. He fully supported non ADOS bashing us last year and called reparations a pipe dream. Hes talking about himself with his statement cuz his own dad aint ADOS and he looks down on ADOS men that challenge WS. I think his dad is white. Hes another happa.

But according to @850credit theory, seeing the street painting, the marches from the past few months, and the now NBA kneeling is supposed to trigger the morality in thugs and troublemakers and make them change their ways. We would ideally have minimal need for police, so their inaction wouldn't be noticed.
I actually agree with this too.
It's their contractual obligation to work at their jobs. Stop playing stupid.
AGAIN, STOP PLAYING STUPID!
Do you know who Colin Kaepernick is? Besides football, why do you know of him? Same issue going on here.
Celebrities use the attention they get (the platform you hear so much about) to make the masses aware, which often leads to change.
I know, right smh
Just had to be a Magic player.
his last name is ISAAC but his "Maternal" Grandfather is Puerto Rican so he's Foreign Carribean Black? so his Fathers surnname & bloodline dont matter ?
His surname comes from his father's lineage.. but his christian cooning is a function of his puerto rican maternal grandfather? not his native black lineage ?

Playing stupid? They had the option to sit out the rest of this season, and still get paid.
LOL @ using Kaep as an example. His bringing "awareness" to police brutality without any political action to support it lead to ZERO change, which is why we're right back here.
Again, it seems like yall care more about symbolism and celebrity co-signs.
"If they do the kneeling and wear a BLM shirt, someone else will see that and come in and do all the hard shit to actually affect change".

Ignorant Coon hiding behind the bible...I have seen this before
He is Caribbean....the quick latching on to this fact is obviously xenophobia at work but he is Caribbean (no shortage of ADOS coons out there so this attempt to equate cooning with non ADOS is obviously xenophobia based)...i thought the same thing as you and did some checkinghis last name is ISAAC but his "Maternal" Grandfather is Puerto Rican so he's Foreign Carribean Black? so his Fathers surnname & bloodline dont matter ?

Jonathan Isaac's protest could've been applauded if his explanation wasn't nonsense
He doesn’t have to be MLK, or LeBron, or fall in line with the masses to please the NBA. But he can’t be a puppet, use religion as a crutch or even a weapon against the humanity of his own people, because at worst, his own Black life deserves better.

Jonathan Isaac: 'Kneeling…don't go hand-in-hand with supporting Black lives'
The NBA’s greatest fear was a player radical enough to go beyond its collectively bargained, wink-wink, nod-nod “protest,” not a player so radical that he would protest the protest in the other direction.
But Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac felt so compelled to work his way into the loophole, a Black player doing the unthinkable of sorts, refusing to kneel during Friday’s national anthem and eschewing the Black Lives Matter shirt all the players have been warming up in the re-start at Walt Disney World.
In a way, Isaac performed a true protest and had his explanation been something besides the nonsense he offered, it could’ve been applauded. After all, Gregg Popovich didn’t kneel in his team’s opener along with assistant Becky Hammon, but the San Antonio Spurs head coach has a long history of letting everyone know where he stands on these issues while also possessing a rebellious streak, bucking and tweaking the league at every turn.
Isaac could’ve bargained that the league’s partners should be going to Capitol Hill to put pressure on the real power in an election year, or that the sayings on the back of the jerseys felt a little milquetoast and sterile compared to the raw emotion we’ve been watching for weeks now.
But he decided to trot out an explanation that’s the equivalent of Twitter burner handles firing off hot takes, those afraid to put their real names to their real feelings and gave life to the bad actors who needed a patron saint — a Black one — to put their collective energies around to call out the NBA and its players.
With two actions and two statements, Isaac firmly placed him as a token for the crowd who claimed they were never watching the NBA again following the demonstration of players, coaches and referees taking a knee during the national anthem Thursday night.
If one were to guess who would nestle its way into the crevices of a sanctioned protest, you’d have to go far down the line before selecting Isaac. And on paper, his reasoning would be hard to argue with if it weren’t from the playbook of the disingenuous.
After all, who can argue against God?
You can find many a churchgoer praying to their god every Sunday who shed tears over the senseless loss of a loved one at the hands of the state. Perhaps Isaac should’ve consulted them before stepping out front.
“I believe for myself my life has been supported through the gospel, image of God, all God’s glory we all do things we should do, we hate those we shouldn’t,” he said in a zoom conference afterwards.
This isn’t necessarily a market correction for the NBA; It’s embraced the idea of player activism, knowing how serious its constituency was about the matter through the absence, but the players aren’t monolith.
There will be some with differing beliefs, differing strategies and those who downright don’t feel the way of this particular bloc.
Isaac just so happened to walk through that door, and with his words did so with the support of his teammates. Perhaps not the content but the mere expression.
The face mask hid his apparent nervousness in being questioned for his actions, actions he has a right to perform or not perform given the freedoms and presumed liberties this country provides. But even using the almighty doesn’t preclude Isaac from the eyebrow-raising, stomach-turning reaction from those who heard or read his explanation.
He never expected the obvious, expertly worded follow-up from Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks, who asked what religion has to do with the task at hand.
The second verse in the book of Isaac was as bad as the first, as he continued with the trope so many use — not dissimilar from a crowd who can find any Bible verse to validate everything from child abuse to polygamy to even slavery.
Isaac played “What about Black on Black crime?” and “What about China?” in code. Or “all sin is sin” arguments.
“I don’t think kneeling or putting on a T-shirt for me personally is the answer,” Isaac said. “Black lives are supported through the gospel we all have things that we all do wrong, whose wrong is worse, we all fall short of God’s glory.”
Stating "we all fall short of God's glory," which in essence states no human is perfect, is true but again, there are levels to this.
What if it were taken further? If someone asked him what did the gospel have to do with a killing on video, a man having his neck being kneeled on for eight minutes and 46 seconds, or a woman being shot multiple times on a no-knock warrant?
He was given grace in that setting that his words didn't deserve. Using religion to avoid an intellectual conversation, a practical one or even common sense is an area nobody should have time or room for. There should be no “other side” to racism, no “other side” to police brutality given the obvious examples we’ve seen over the last several years.
He’s 22, so there should be space for grace and growth, should he seek it. It’s not necessarily a youthful indiscretion, like using illegal drugs or being caught driving while intoxicated, but it is a learning moment because his line of thinking is dangerous.
Dangerous like Dwight Howard saying he doesn’t “believe in vaccines.” Howard should be challenged and forced to give an account for his beliefs as opposed to such statements dangling in the air on social media, open to interpretation.
Using cancel culture for every transgression eliminates the blank spaces needed to bring those along, who don’t have the perspectives or life experience to understand the topic of the day.
There’s also nothing wrong with using the commonalities of religion to tug at the strings of those to be better. One of Dr. Martin Luther King’s greatest strategies was his stated belief that white people were worth saving. That they should display their love for their fellow man — the black man and woman — to make this a more perfect union.
King’s faith, one could argue, kept him from going full radical while using shame as the greatest weapon. But that is not what Isaac was attempting.
There was nothing direct from Isaac, nothing to the questions about the stated mission of the NBA to increase awareness about police brutality and attacking racism. His sentiments may have been genuine, if not wholly misplaced and immature.
He doesn’t have to be King, or LeBron, or fall in line with the masses to please the NBA. But he can’t be a puppet, use religion as a crutch or even a weapon against the humanity of his own people, because at worst, his own Black life deserves better.
Dammit Jack this woman in your sig looks like a wet dream cotdamn manHe got some explaining to do in the locker room.
shit is comical , my question was simple ,why is his cooning conveniently attached ONLY to maternal grandfather but his native black father's lineage , so we skip his father, father's fathers etc , mother's mother but somehow only reference his mother's father when they want to find an achor to blame for the cooning
rightwing fox news at play,
white criminal - a+ chessplayer
black suspect = grandmother who was an addict
Same way we dont consider Malcolm X Black American. Caribbeans claim him since his mom was Grenadan. If one of your parents is an islander, the other one dont count no more. They get erased. Caribbean blood is just stronger than ours. Theres so many Caribbean rappers, celebs, actors that grew up in ADOS households but only rep their Caribbean side. Isaac is different from me, hes from another ethnic group cooning, we dont have anything in common.
We outraged at Pop or nah?
Me a try hint you Boss....Amajorfucup used the long time derogatory term coconut but the rest of his reasoning was sound....is a Island man Boss....the wiki thing is incomplete....i thought the same as you but did some more research because he seemed like a Island man to me....the real fuckery is the attempt to attach coon to non ADOS
You just want to argue. I won't entertain you.
I'm good with Pop
That man military real military
Supported black issues before all this kneeling during and will be after
Him, kerr, stan van have done the WORK.
And ASK them to talk about black issues?
Hear the intelligence and thoughtfulness
This kid should have called one of them.

There is nothing to argue. Almost every major corporation in the world made statements supporting BLM and donated money to black causes.
Yet the black crime rate has risen in major cities.
Your false equivalency misses the meaning of the movement. Good day sir.
What work did they do?
The most I've seen them do is acknowledge there is racism in America and say orange man bad.
That's all white people have to do to get a pass? Ok.

Yeah imma done.
First off google and you'll find out
And it is EXACTLY a big deal when men of their background stature and age speak on black issues
And EDUCATE THEMSELVES ON THE ISSUES
Especially when they don't have to
These white men are going to be heard and listened to by OTHER white folk.
That is the KEY
black folk cant fix this mess we aint make it
White folk don't listen to us
White folk have to fix this mess
And these men took the time to speak up and out challenge their fans peers organizations
Speak truth to power
And to the president and elected officials
They using their position to help
Wtf more you want them too?
Nah he’s good, he issued a statement and that was enough. If his players and staff are ok with it then cool.
Johnathan should’ve kept his reasoning to himself and everything would’ve been coo for himl too.
Yeah i thought i wouldn't have to go on a block party this summer but sadly...
Bruh, you emphasized "work" like they've done more than acknowledge injustice in America. And not knocking them, but I've seen black men who have REALLY done the work in the streets called coon over trivial political bullshit so I'm not gonna get overexcited and defend a celebrity CAC because he read "Between The World And Me".
"White folks have to fix this mess" - so until white men speak out there is nothing we as MEN can do to better our condition? Really? You're giving white people more undeserving power over us?
