Is this the face of the NBA?

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Sorry, homey. Not following you on this one. To me that makes no sense whatsoever. I've never in my life seen a police officer that looks like Michael Beasley.

You're pretending like Beasley is being mistreated and victimized when anyone dares call him what he is. He wants to look like a thug so just fucking LET HIM! What you're doing here is demanding preferential treatment because he's black. Just admit that and get it out in the open.

So you have to look like Beasley to look like a thug? I guess those mob guys dont look like like thugs either, huh? My point is, thugs come in all shapes and forms. White, black, short, tall, fat, skinny, girl, boy, ugly, cute, clean cut hair, etc. You seem to only associate the word thug with guys like beasley, rather he is white or black. I'll tell you now, there are a lot of thugs with the LAPD btw.

And what im doing here is defending the people who is unfair judged by the way they look or their race from people like you and in this country.

i'm not seeing what's so hard to grasp about this...

Its one thing to not hire beasley with al of them tatts for business reasons, but to look at his pic and call him a thug is just stupid.

 

[Black Adam]

and in answering the question he STILL had to include my name. LMAO!!! gotta love the little dwarf...


oh, and btw Turnip DO tell me how YOU know so much about whether or not gays have a choice. you seem to have insight on the matter...

 

[trojanfan12]

Apparently you have read and comprehension issues also.

Where did I EVER say what YOU or anyone else should find offensive?
I said its not my problem to worry about it. Correct? I DON'T CARE.


You are saying your opinion is correct and mine isn't.
I'm saying your entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine.

That's the way it works in this great country of ours.

No different then you clowns who found the Decision so offensive, but decided to turn your TVs on for 2 hours and watch it.

More of the classic narcissistic response!! Trying to act as if someone else has the problem and trying to twist things into things that were never said.

After saying that he didn't find it offensive and choosing to post it without regard for the fact that others may find it offensive (back to if the narcissist isn't offended, no one else should be), he then wants to know when he ever said what someone else should or should not find offensive.

This also after accusing someone else of thinking that they are "judge and jury of what is offensive".

This further illustrates the ego centric thought process of the narcissist!!

He then ends it by trying to deflect to something that has nothing to do with the original discussion!!

Really doesn't get anymore textbook than this!!

i'm serious, you should've been a psychoanalyst....

Its not all about race, but its part of it and you know that but you might be scared to admit it. Whites are looked at as thugs too, but blacks have a greater chance to be called a thug than any other race. Blacks also have a problem of pre-judging too.

It's only about race when people want to make it about race!! Michael Beasley is black,tatted up and has big ol' wild fro!!

Birdman is white, tatted up and has big, stupid looking Mohawk that I thought went out when punk rock died!!

I wouldn't hire either of them in a position where they had to deal with the public unless I was hiring them to work in a tattoo parlor!!

Has nothing to do with their race, it has to do with how I want my company represented!!

 

[trojanfan12]

I actually worked in the counseling field for many years. First with child abuse victims and then with at-risk youth/first time juvenile offenders!!

You learn a few things!!

 

[BOTSLAYER]

...with at-risk youth/first time juvenile offenders!!

I bet that sums up every one in LA/Detroit up to and including the senators.

 

[shitsho]

Check these fine upstanding men (obviously not thugs) dressed as police officers.

Quit playing internet psychiatrist. Your going somewhere way to deep.
Here are the facts:

1. I posted a picture or what a lot of people assume Jesus looked like wearing a weed shirt because I , in the context of this thread thought it was funny.

2. I never said, implied, or anything else that anyone else should find it funny or not.

3. I never said the people who after commenting on the photo had issues with it were not entitled to their OPINION.

4. For you to try to tell me that your OPINION is the correct one, does imply that you are trying to be the judge and jury. My opinion and right to post it is as equal as yours to post whatever you want.

The title of this thread implied Beasley was a thug and the face of the NBA. Neither is correct. That was the issue I had.

If the thread was titled 'Would mainstream America hire this man", then the response would have been entirely different.

In Turnups defense, It's entirely possible that Jesus did get high. They did that a lot of that back then as part of the religious mystic persona and it wasn't illegal. That should not offend anyone but I can see where it would tighten the sphincters of the self righteous.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Open your mind for a minute, because I really do think that you are being closed minded about several topics discussed in this thread.

Let me ask you this...

Do you for a minute think that your Grandparents could have been spared if others in their time were sensitive to what others thought about their beliefs?

Your callus and insensitive thought process to others belief system regarding Jesus Christ and the picture you displayed is in the same frame of mind IMO allows the seeds to take hold of such atrocities that took the very lives of your lineage.

Some, such as you and yours, should be well aware of these seeds of doom yet I find your displayed ignorance and attitude regarding this subject appalling to say the least.

We can only hope that this is no more than pure bravado on your part and you are unaware of your impact in the big picture of things of these matters.

I do hope in short you can change, if not for the rest of us but for the sake and sacrifice of both of your Grandparents, may God rest their souls.

Look, I respect what your trying to say here, but it's way to deep IMO because I posted the picture as a JOKE, not as an opening for a debate on Jesus or religion.

I learned a long time ago, never debate religion or politics because people believe what they believe and nothing you say or do is changing it.

Not that is matters, because my intent was never to directly make fun of Jesus or imply he was a pot head, but I did a quick google search and found this:
Jesus 'healed using cannabis' | World news | The Guardian

Pretty much sums it up IMO

Can't speak to Detroit, but true in L.A.!!

considering one of the things that Jesus spoke out against was witchcraft((drug use/abuse) i doubt it very seriously...

You people sure know how to make fun of Jesus but you know nothing about Him at all. Kind of like the idiots who killed Him.

Lol at the people mad about a picture of Jesus with a pot leaf. It was clearly lighthearted, and who cares anyways? It's weed...

You are aware that the basis of your religion is that Jesus had to be killed for ou to be "saved", right? Assuming your god is real they killed him because god made them, making it foolish to judge them for it.
