Is this a trick question?

There is no such thing as a trick question.

You either have an answer or don't.

The amount of people outraged over a group of (largely) black people refusing to perform labor has been wild to see yet felt oddly familiar...

Pretty easy how-to-spot-a-racist test.

You can make fake accounts on any social media man

Yeah but those require work lol. If you make a fake IG with one photo nobody is gonna follow you to see your trash posts.

As much as I love receipts being pulled I hope it doesn’t take away from the movement. Folks should be called out tho so they don’t act up again

Maya Moore helped make today possible.

Facts. Maya Moore didn't get the recognition she deserved. She opted out of the season being a star player BEFORE Covid. No disrespect to Kyrie but he opted out of the bubble. Imagine before the season started in October an All Star player opted out to focus on the community.

Yet dudes wanna complain about him wanting to play lol

So many people, some in this very thread clowned Kaepernick in the Kaep thread and ****ted on his heroic efforts. Same dudes who said a football boycott was stupid.

Dudes couldn't even stop watching football for one Sunday, while players are out here sacrificing paychecks that support families and in cases like Kaep their entire careers. I commend these athletes, esp Kaep, LeBron, CP3 and others who have been vocal and putting everything on the line since day one for suckers who don't even appreciate it.

The more info given out it’s hard pressed to think the season will be over ..... but the players have all the power ... the most power that they have ever have ..... other sports latching on ..... again this could be huge ....

I don’t even think it needs to be all sports

i think if you get the right guys in certain sports

like even in the nfl.. the kickoff game is chiefs vs texans, if they get mahomes and deshaun to threaten to not be there night 1

or if they could get sunshine and certain other guys from Clemson.. sunshine can already opt and head to the draft

“LeBron is all talk and no action”

“He uses people taxes. Takes credit it for it”

I've always felt like Horry. My son is 12. If he were murdered by a cop, I feel like I'd have to take it upon myself to see that justice is served. The only person who may be able to talk me out of it would probably be my daughter.

HE AINT CLUTCH.

Got a hefty futures bet I placed in the beginning of the year on Clippers to win it all.
But I’m much more content with the players taking a stance on racial inequality. I’m with the cause.

You would have lost your money anyway.

The police system in america needs a massive overhaul in terms of qualifications and training. Having a federal standard there instead of letting towns and cities decide would help. This is how you end up with cops who barely finished HS and go to the academy for 2 months before being given a gun and badge and told to roam the streets free from repercussions. No more academies. Send their asses to John Jay and make them earn a criminal justice degree.

Get rid of IA and replace them with a civilian agency. Whose bright idea was it to let cops police cops?

I'm all for unionization, but not for the police. Until police culture changes, abolish police unions. They shouldn't have so much goddamn political power that they can effectively threaten the career of any politician who dares to openly criticize or curtail them.

No more paid vacations for murder. You don't get to go out and buy oreos with my tax dollars after murdering someone. You kill someone, you sit in jail until we figure out what to do with you, just like everyone else does.

No more military weapons and vehicles for police organizations. Any problem that would require those should fall to the national guard. Cops don't need em.

Fine cops for violations such as a "malfunctioning" camera and covered up badge numbers/names, unnecessary force, drawing guns prematurely, etc. No excuses, if you're caught, you pay the fine. A hefty ****ing fine. My great grandmother used to say "He who don't hear, will feel." If they don't wanna hear then they can feel it where it hurts most, in their goddamn pockets.

Protect cops who come forward about other cops. Stop allowing them to be punished and forced out of the profession for doing the right thing. Save it for the scumbags they blew the whistle on.

You’re talking some real **** bro. I agree with you- but if they raise the bar on who becomes a cop... require not just an education but a criminal justice degree, how would they ever have enough cops... you gonna have entire cities and towns, especially in the south with nobody

Can’t applaud her enough! As a star player in an INDIVIDUAL sport. Also that she is a black woman from Japan. This is major imo

Wow... powerful

So do you believe in rhetoric then?

 

[Zo gif]

Per sources this season is most likely done.

It only works on those sitting on the fence and those that are easy to manipulate.
