It didn't matter when people were crowing Bron over Kobe without having the resume at the time. Which was my whole point. Y'all pick and choose based on a bias.

Lots of people hate on Duncan, Bird, and Russell.
Clyde isn't in the same tier as those guys.
People don't really hate on Hakeem but they do say he only has those rings because MJ was retired.

Steph being light skinned ain't got nothing to do with jack. Plenty of light skin "privileged" came before him (ie Grant Hill).
Stop that argument

I said that people did that lol and it was wrong then.
You said Curry has accomplished as much as LeBron did, which is false.

This just isn't true. Colorism and the perceptions is definitely something our community battles on a daily basis. No athlete is immune. Remember when Kobe told Jordan Clarkson to start finishing like a dark skinned dude? It's real.

That's wild to me. Raised in NYC I played ball with everyone. Some of the baddest dudes I played against was white. Small minds in some people I guess

Ok....Mamba back to being a real one again. Took Westbrook getting gentlemen swept and you doing the nay nay and hitting the folks with him for you to come back to your senses.
Welcome back!
But yeah. That colorism **** is real. I'm sure it's some light skin ***** in here who got tested daily because dudes thought they were soft growing up.

Not about being small minded it's something that's been engrained in major society since the inception of this country.
In the black community it goes all the way back to slavery. The dark skinned slaves were put in the fields while the fair skinned ones were allowed in the house because they were 'presentable' to be around white folks. That's where a lot of the 'privileged' stuff stems from. It's since evolved somewhat into being 'soft' and 'not real'. As a fairer skinned dude when I was younger it was definitely played upon growing up. Combine that with lighter colored eyes and 'speaking proper' the ridicule was on 10.

The light skin dark skin thing is more of a joke than anything else. I'm light as hell and it hasn't really been an issue for me, only in rare instances. If anything I get hated on for being devastatingly handsome and well hung. It was only in the past few years when I started to notice how rare it actually is to be light skinned, I'm normally one of if not the only one in a room full of dark skin folks

Again, you were mad that people called LeBron a great before he won a championship. Westbrook will still be ringless on his 29th birthday but he's Jesus in basketball shoes to you, and just had the greatest season of all time. Give all this talk about bias a rest like you're not one of the most biased posters on here. YOU pick and choose more than anyone.
