The Set
Bottom line is all these athletes saying all lives matter need to stfu. They might as well say

"pants up, don't loot"
"justice for Darren Wilson"
"justice for Zimmerman"
And my personal favorite...
"I can breathe"
Whether they know it or not, they are championing the cause of the very ones that could give 0 fukks if his body is laid out on the hot pavement for hours. If Jordan can see the shyt for what it is, then why can't he\them when he\they are more connected to the culture? He definitely lost some points in my book. This is another turning point in our history and most of these nikkas with a platform are saying the wrong fukkin thing.

Athletes should just stop talking
That includes lebron james and carmelo anyhony and the brotherhood with their little speech in ESPYS
First athlete that doesn't do that "we all need to come together" bullshyt and says cops need to stop killing nikkas and deflecting to police-community relations(blaming black people) I'm donating to their fund.

Michael Jordan didn't pick a side. Jordan and Iverson both played both sides. Your perception of each athlete made you think they did something they really didn't.

This is why you can't have conversations with hashtags.

Now you gonna have people more worried about the semantics as if these celebrities keep up with the intricacies with online social justice jargon and completely ignore the intent.

Not everybody is going to understand the nuances of these slogans on the surface sounding divisive/exclusionary and how they came about on social media.
I understand what you're saying but these athletes should do some research before they speak on sensitive issues.

Rich black nikka out of touch with the nikkas living the struggle? Say it aint so....

This shyt been happening since the beginning. Im sure there were plenty of house nikkas on about that 'Slavery ain't so bad' if they were light skinned enough to work indoors during the summer heat and sleep in the basement of the house instead of the straw hut. But the rest of us ain't trying to hear that shyt so.... don't even fukking bother. Aint nobody giving a fukk about Iversons opinion on some shyt he probably aint had to deal with on that level for decades.

Like I said, you can't have a conversation with hashtags.

Look at how people are completely ignoring the context and overall intent of what was said to focus on which slogan he decided to use and in which order to address how he feels about the state of the country.
I'm just sitting here like :dwillhuh: These nikkas obviously did not read the statement in context
