AKON "LOUIS FARRAKHAN IS DEAD WRONG... LeBron James Is NOT A Slave"

[Gravity]

It's an extremely distasteful metaphor. It's mad disrespectful to those black people who actually were slaves.

No, what's disrespectful is this fake outrage over the word "slave". What's disrespectful is the stupidity/simplicity of people like you which is deflecting from the real discussion about black pro athletes being controlled by white corporations and used to maintain the status quo. When people say that these athletes are "slaves" it's a metaphor you idiot. Nobody's marginalizing slavery. That is a dumbass deflection that a white supremacist would use. Slavery has more than one definition and can be used in more than one context. You're purposely ignoring that to deflect with some fake ass outrage.

“I support them and give them food, and clothes, and cars, and houses. Who gives it to them? Does someone else give it to them?”
^^^That's a quote from Donald Sterling referencing the players on the Clippers. That quote sounds like it's from gotdamn slave owner. That's how a lot of these white owners and corporate bosses think about these black players. Wake up and get off of that dumb/simple shyt.

So just because they have money they are not slaves, and the black race is making great strides because the Lebron James's of the world are making hundreds of millions of dollars. Can Lebron James hold a million man march protest in regards to police brutality? Can he demand a strike for NBA players until EOE actually start abiding by those guidelines to insure equal opportunity across the board? Can he publically become affiliated with a pro black group like Black Lives Matter and actually endorse their views? No? Because he will be subject to black balling, losing endorsement deals, losing mainstream fans and viewership, and his name tarnished as "one of the bad ones".

Money don't make you free in America, especially if your black. It doesn't mean he picks cotton all day and is subject to being whipped for talking back, but it does mean corporate lynching. It means his legacy destroyed, it means every secret he thought he could hide being exposed in efforts to bring him down. Just because its not the 1700's doesn't mean these crackers have not found new ways to play the same old games they've always played.

But he has the right to do all of those things, he just may have to leave the NBA to do that. But he is fully capable of doing all that.
He, personally chooses to stay and play in the nba(and collect that huge salary and endorsements)

A lot of you dudes are being short sighted here. Yeah it would be nice to be a millionaire and a superstar sports player. The point is the real people making the money are the team owners and stadium owners which are never black. We only make them the money. Lebron making 30 mill is chicken feed compared to the Jews and whites on top. They are at a tier they will never let us get to. Hell they barely let us get to qb in the nfl.

 

[loyola llothta]

lebron is a funny dude, he said something about Tamir Rice/John Crawford before the nike deal that was sus

now fast forward homie scared of those cac and the backlash.

 

[intruder]

I wish I could stab the fukkas who refer to pro athletes as slaves.
I feel it diminishes the horror of slavery to some degree and is a major disrespect to those who paid the price for us long ago.

So yeah I'd stab a fukka over this. A mother fukker making millions is not a God damn slave.

[NvrCMyNut]

Why the NBA & not the NFL?

You know why it's bullshyt, nfl is more like slavery, do the players even have unions?

 

[Drip Bayless]

u must not know how contracts work

You must not know how release clauses work

 

[Virtuous_Brotha]

Dude is making millions from pushing a ball through a damn hoop I think i speak for the world when i say that I would willing be a slave any day of the week if that is what it constitutes

 

[Bigtymer301]

u must not know how contracts work

Please.....elaborate.....because if he retires, there isn't anything they can do to him. He's on essentially a 1 year contract. At the end of the year, he can opt out, and choose where he wants to play. He could wake up today, and retire, and at the most they could ask for his signing bonus back, and I'm not sure he has one. Like I said, nothing like slavery....... You smart nikkas are something else boy.....
Neg that!!!

Why the NBA & not the NCAA?

are black pro athletes being treated differently than white pro athletes? or are they slaves as well?

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

Where is the actual video of Farrakhan saying this tho?

but how is that different from any other line of work?

its either we are ALL slaves...or we aren't. We can't just pick and choose occupations, expecially ones like pro sports.



anyone pointing at pro athletes as slaves is just looking for attention. and not to many ppl out there as good as seeking attention than Farrakhan.

 

[Gravity]

Of course black athletes are treated differently than white athletes. How ignorant are you to even ask that? Plus pro white athletes aren't members of an oppressed community used to maintain a system that oppresses their community.
