I answered, you should pay attention more, then maybe youll make better arguments.

So youre not. Youre either White or Asian I assume.

True.

 

[SpittaJetLife]

Entertain the heck outta us boy! Just don't talk about that race stuff! Kobe ain't Black! He ITALIAN!

Meanwhile prob hate Black people outside of Kobe.

 

[noblekane]

this still the craziest imo

 

[SpittaJetLife]

First of all, I'm not Black or White but yeah Kobe was definitely seen as a safe Black man to mainstream america which means white america, for the most part all the corporate sports aka the major leagues will only prop up the black athletes they deem "safe" that white ppl can feel comfortable cheering for. Only in Boxing and some of the sports without the major corporate backing do you see the unsafe black men rise to the top

Facts.

Kobe was actually more embraced by latinos 1st in LA according to him.

I think that what Kobe proved as a Black man is that no matter the obstacle? If given the opportunity, there is nothing that can stop us. In that, and while knowing his history? I am proud. He re acclimated himself, morphed into different modes, became what others did not think he could become, all while being Black.

I think that it was a fantastic feat to make all of these white dudes think that he was Italian.

joint gotta be lasered guided.

 

[youngwolf]

He had other accounts which got banned?

Many.

[SpittaJetLife]

Was Kobe half white?

 

[Guccishades]

Many.

Not surprising.

 

[whatscomplex]

When are you trolls going to just make a separate thread holy **** lmao.

Fortunately for Kobe he only lived in Italy until he was 12 or so or he would've likely faced a lot more blatant racism through the years even as he became the greatest Basketball player ever in Italy, those that aren't familiar with soccer, all you have to do is go reference Mario Balotelli's experience growing up in Italy being adopted by white Italian couple and what he's had to endure when he became a star soccer player there and becoming the 1st black player on Italian National team for the world cup

I remember on another thread, some dude said that the reason why Steph Curry was so cool, and so good? Was because he is of mixed race. I kid you not.

naw, he's african American Italian raised and fluent in Italian... Italian language and Spanish language have mutual intelligibility, so its easy to pick up another language (Spanish in his case).

There is a great documentary on Kobe, one that features Tamika Catchings. They speak on that. She was there for a bit, and faced the same discrimination.
