Is this the face of the NBA?

How about not judging people based on their appearance especially on a freaking basketball court? It is not liked he came into a job interview like that

I don't judge anyone until I've actually spoken to that person before.

One thing I do know is that having a lot of tats or having an afro does not make you a thug.

where did i say it did? wow, you guys sure know how to go off on a tangent...

I think he looks like a thug.

That's different from saying he is a thug.

Looking like something is not the same as being it.

Ever look at a girl and think that she looks like a whore? My guess is that 99% of those chicks aren't whores. But there's nothing wrong with thinking (or saying) that she looks like one to you.

There is also nothing wrong with "judging by appearance." It's a natural process. You observe behavior and you link it to the context, which includes appearance among many other things. If you've seen 10 people dressed a certain way doing stupid shit, then when you see someone dressed that way but not doing stupid shit it's still perfectly reasonable to say that they look like a dumb ass.

So get over it, the guy looks like a thug whether he is or not.

ah, there goes Tom Thumb accusing other people of having multiple I.D.'s when he HIMSELF was the one that got straight out POPPED for it. tell ya what, Tiny Tim. when I get busted for it then maybe you can open your dopey little pie hole about it. 'til then i'd suggest you climb into your li'l matchbox bed and have a good cry on not attaining any heights in your life...literally OR figuratively...[/


Now your back to that same accusing vs proving scenario.

After this amount of time though, it's pretty safe to say you won't be exposed.

I get your point but the OP did not say that. His exact comments were "this thug ass bitch makes me sick" He is saying he is a thug, not that he just look like one.

How the hell does one look like a thug on a freaking basketball court when every player is dressed the same? Its not like these are some pics of Beasley in his street clothes

 

[bksballer89]

Wow me and turnup basically just said the same thing at the same exact time

If you dress like a thug, don't be shocked if you're treated like one.



And if you don't know what a thug "looks" like, then you are just playing dumb, and allowing political correctness to cloud your thinking.

not in the real world.

It keeps going back to reading comprehension.
Not a strength of CL form sure.

I'm not addressing the OP, I'm addressing turnip's issues.

And I will ask once again. How is it possible to dress like a thug on the basketball court when all the players are dressed the same?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Wow me and turnup basically just said the same thing at the same exact time

Because we can read and comprehend.
We aren't racists.
We dont stereotype.
We treat people based on how they treat us.

By putting tattoos on yourn face, and acting like a fucking hoodrat.


"Dress" is metaphoric, if you will?

 

[24seven]

not in the real world.

So, I'm not in the real world?

 

[Black Adam]

at least the guy's 3" taller than being a midget...


sorry, couldn't resist. i know the guy's on a SHORT fuse...

 

[24seven]

WTF is wrong with the quote function? I just quoted Beardown and it showed up as quoting turnip.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I'm not addressing the OP, I'm addressing turnip's issues.

That makes no sense since my issue was with the OP.
Every comment I made was going back to that original line.

 

[bksballer89]

Did he just get these tattoos since he got drafted by the Heat? So basically what you're telling me is every player who has a tat in the NBA is a thug?

And how exactly does Mike Beasley act like a fucking hoodrat on the court? How many flagrant fouls does he have in his career? Is he known as a dirty player?

 

[beardown07]

Because we can read and comprehend.
We aren't racists.
We dont stereotype.
We treat people based on how they treat us.

and that's great. But, it's not necessarily applicable in the real world.


I'm in a business that is trusted with tons of money. If they walk in, and I have fucking tattoos on my hands, wtf are they supposed to think?

Get real. Like I said earlier...you wanna sleave-up? I hope you play a mean lick, or are a dunking mofo.

Good luck getting a job where any money is involved.
