2019 Offseason Thread

I mean in San Francisco that might be the case, but i cant see the that being the case in Jackson, Mississipi.....education, and economics have a lot to do with racism as well.

Also, it depends on how you define racism. There is a big gulf between like being a Proud Boy and naturally being more nervous seeing a black person than a white person while walking in a dark alley in a bad part of town. Both are "racist" but both are pretty far from each other on a scale.

Just can't agree with you there, what a pessimistic take on humanity.

Still haven't explained what the Bay Area has to do with it.

Yes, but have the disadvantage of identity. They won't know where they belong. May have to just choose a side based on which side they look like more.

i think honestly it's how much you've been exposed to it or come in contact with it...

I mean cmon. The Bay area is mostly affluent, extremely diverse and about as liberal as they come. I would guess it is one of the least, if not the least racist area on the entire face of the earth.

Unless he steps up and shows real leadership someday, this will be how he's remembered. Me-first stat stuffer.

If it wasn't clear before then this comment made it crystal clear. Dude cares about individual awards over winning a title.

I think when you marry a different race that racist shit really starts pouring out of the families until they come to accept it.

In the Bay Area, it's "uncool" to be racist so you won't be exposed to it much as opposed to living in other areas of the country especially outside of California. You're living a liberal bubble, buddy.

So conservatism is racist?

WiggyRuss said:

how can you say its "more"-- i mean you can say that he definitely cares about individual awards to a high degree --- i mean, i think almost everyp layer does but they all give the stock reply....but i cant take from the quote that he cares more about individual awards than team awards. Its not like he is saying anything to the detriment of his team.

convservatism isn't racist - not at all---- but i def think racists are more likely to be conservative than liberal. I certainly do not think that is a groundbreaking statement.

This isn't the first comment he made about losing the MVP this offseason.

A comment about his disappearing act in G5 vs Golden State would be nice instead of some regular season award that he already won

Ok, conservatives are racists, got it, thanks!

yeah, is what it is...

don't think me and my wife didn't have our share of culture clashes, though...

Bart said:

You are only thinking about white democrats not being as racists. Democrats that are women, latino, asian, or black might be racist but choose being a democrat because it supports their position better.
