I demand that Jay Z be banned from the NBA immediately

So whats the issue and how it it comparable to Sterling? Your assumption is that its a racist symbol. You dont know what it is. We need some proof.

Stop it.


There is plenty of literature out there on the subject. He's even admitted it as such!? And though he is not a legitimate member, that does not mean that he does not advocate their teachings.

Wearing the medallion in public is advocating their teachings.

asking a question to prove my point is not deflecting. You are just throwing that out there because you have been proven to be wrong. You know damn well that if a white person showed up wearing a KKK related article of clothing court side they would be ruined regardless if they had never said anything about the KKK before. That agent would be banned from the NBA for making the league look bad. But this agent happens to be black so its ok for him to do it? You are so full of nonsense it is embarrassing.

Its pretty much deflecting when you are not answering the questions I put to you. Its a pretty classic tale to be honest.

These are just some of the *beliefs behind the bling — the gaudy Five Percent Nation *medallions worn by Jay Z and Carmelo Anthony.

Last week, all eyes at the Barclays Center weren’t on Jay Z’s better half, Beyoncé — but on the coaster-size golden pendant swinging from the rapper’s neck as the couple sat courtside. Asked once if the group’s symbol — an eight-pointed star with the number 7 in the middle — held any meaning for him, the rapper shrugged, “A little bit.”

So what exactly do Five Percenters believe?

“The rationale is that the black man is God and created the universe, and is physically stronger and intellectually stronger and more righteous naturally,” says Michael Muhammad Knight, an author of two books on the radical group.

“Whiteness is weak and wicked and inferior — basically just an errant child who needs to be corrected.”

Sterling was banned for making the NBA look bad with racism. Jay-Z is doing what should be making the NBA look bad with racism but its somehow ok for him to do that? I can't make it any plainer for you.

As usual, dipshit Brasky adds nothing to the thread.

You disgust me.

Oh look everybody, brasky is trying to be all big and bad again.

Its all about PR. The NBA isn't dealing with Sterling because "its the right thing to do" as much as it is to squash the horrible PR nightmare that is endangering the profitability of the NBA.

Some of these other things with JayZ and LJ aren't getting anywhere close to the exposure that Sterling's remarks got (and IMO, there is very good reason for that). They aren't the same PR nightmare.


Once again, Sterling isn't in trouble with the law. He's done nothing illegal or criminal. He's just being dealt with by his business partners for endangering the success of the business.

White people started racism. If they want to cry about double standards they should cease being racist. Before attempting to point out racism exists in other races ask if racism is gone from the white race. You can never go wrong cleaning your own house before you start trying to tell people what to do in theirs.

You just said it is ok for blacks to be racists but not ok for white people to be racists. By that method, black people should be innocent of all murders because white people commit murder too. You are a damn fool.

 

[beardown07]

So does being black give you carte blanche on being a racist?


And if so, doesn't this stand to perpetuate racism?

What?

Well, you said that whites started racism, it wouldnt have happpened if Africans would not have been sold into slavery by their own people long ago.

White people enslaved their own people before African slavery was introduced to them. Where do you think the word slave even comes from? You cant be this clueless.

 

[Brasky]

Jeffro... Just come out and say it. You hate black people.

white people enslaving white people isn't racism. Way to deflect.

Also the Egyptians were enslaving people thousands of years before the whites you are speaking of. They are African. Africans started slavery which means they started racism.

I am just going by your logic...

Can you quote that for me? Somehow I dont see that.

and if African tribe leaders had not sold their own people to the whites, racism quite possibly would npt have existed.

That was my whole point. You should keep up instead of jumping to respond because you are emotional.
