Dont Let Last Nights NBA Draft Fool Yall Into Thinking "Everything's Ok"

[Ronnie Lott]

Modern day slave trade if you asking me. I saw the shyt on tv when I was 8, before cable, rabbit ears and shyt and was like "They sellin nikkas?" I knew better then. I blame the schools nowadays. At least if the fathers aren't there the schools should teach'em.

Man, shut this dumb shyt up
How the fukk are you going to compare a voluntary act like playing basketball to actual slavery

 

[Ronnie Lott]

I was I could go back but what I do 4 days a week is much more reaching then what I did 12 hours a day 6 days a week, don't get me wrong i loved the bad with the good. I'll just say especially when the directors of the programs and the curriculum as well as the administrative staff who create and coordinate the programs you (we, I) was supposed to handle directly with these black youth, it was a fukking nightmare.


Its not really trivial, there were house slaves that were happy in the house sleeping in a bed, eating food that was adequately prepared, now were they eating off masters plate? hell no and they werent getting scraps. These NBA players arent getting scraps, (they are legitimately getting good money, no one is arguing that) but let Lebron tell ESPN that when he retires he plans to own a team, let Kobe, Lebron, Jordan, Magic, and 6 other nikkas try to buy teams and see what happens....in fact let some wealthy black people who have nothing to do with sports buy a NBA team, hell plenty of owners weren't players or have affiliations with the sport, they are just rich and its cool to own shyt. I'll tell you who won't like that right off the bat.



People aren't mad that nba players are getting money, they are just tired of that being the top. I want to see more black owners of NBA teams. Black general managers, etc. Same with the NFL too. There are black coaches, (people still get mad when one is hired, but claim it isn't about race but winning percentage because after all you make more money when you win).

Explain how Michael Jordan became the majority owner of the Hornets/Bobcats?


How did Magic become minority owner of the Dodgers??

How did the majority of black head coaches and black NBA general managers and front office staff members get into those positions?


Your answer will overwhelmingly be by first getting drafted in the NBA

its sad that so many young black men see the draft and actually think its actually an achievable goal.


-- NCAA senior players drafted by an NBA team: Less than one in 75, or 1.3 percent. -- High school senior players eventually drafted by an NBA team: About three in 10,000, or 0.03 percent. That's roughly the chance of getting four of a kind in the first round of draw poker.

Or we could look at it as a positive. They tried to do something, but they didn't achieve their goal. But at least they tried and along the way they learned the value of hardwork and that might translate into other positive things in their lives. On top of that some of them will have college degrees and they will enter the workforce just like all of the other college seniors that they graduated with.

I would rather read stories about guys that tried and failed than about guys going around and gunning up the neighborhood.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

exactly. The fact that black men are generating trillions of dollars between the NFL and NBA yet have almost zero ownership should let people know that this shyt is set up like modern slavery.

Cmon my nikka.

What's your solution then?

 

[philmonroe]

Op is right. I want more black lawyers, doctors and accountants than black sports people

So why don't you and those dapping it become those things instead of trying to low key hate on others?

 

[Samori Toure]

"Trivialize" when he's bang on the money?

You've got Black Men being put on the market to be bought and be used as props and products for "entertainment". Along with then being tied down by contracts and corporate obligations. These are by teams owned by middle aged White Men.

The money you make doesn't matter if it isn't your house.

That's why they hate Floyd, because he's an independent who actually brokers and dictates his shyt on his terms.

nikka you just described every person that works for a company.

We work for companies making a product owned by middle aged White men.

We get a salary, but the White man gets the profits. So the money that we make isn't in our house.

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

Dead at making race threads at 8 am.

nikka woke up and said "Black people we need to do better"

nikka you aint even brushed yo teeth or washed yo ass yet fukk you mean

Normally I agree with the OP on a lot topics but I have to disagree with him here. These young men have a lot of opportunities that most people regardless of race will never have. Also comparing the NBA and NFL draft to the slave trade is disrespectful to what our ancestors went through for hundreds of years. Our ancestors were taken away from their families, raped, beaten, had their names taken from them, religion taken from them, etc. These NBA players could decline to go pro and just finish college. When their contracts expire they can choose to retire. They are making millions of dollars to put a ball in a basket, purchase luxury cars, live in mansions, sleep with the most beautiful thots in the world, and pretty much have a easy lifestyle. Slaves worked from sun up to sun down until they died. No money, no insurance, no benefits, etc.

 

[Samori Toure]

ha, your low level ass isnt keeping up w the owners so i guess it means ownership doesnt matter to you.

lol so you're basically saying that you'd be ok being a slave as long as history remembers u lol. that doesnt surprise me. u let a white boy call u a c00n and a bedwench to ur face. eat a dikk.

How are athletes any more slave like than just a regular employee of any company? They are employees; so how are they more slave like than anybody that works for someone else?

 

[philmonroe]

Keep thinking Bron won, when really

Here are your champions. You think Bron got paid?

These superstars come and go the owners, the gm's they are in it for the long haul, sure a gm might get fired or relocate but the likelihood that a superstars comes out on top over a gm with an actual 'career'. many players have rings and aren't getting picked up, or are now not number in the starting lineup. meanwhile gm is still upfront.

Hey crab nikka what business you own? Since you saying all this shyt about Lebron and others you definitely making more and not giving it to the white man right? All black everything and making tens of millions show us the way fam. If you aren't which I seriously doubt shut the fukk up.

If you a 1st round pick you in the top 0.00000000001% on the planet in terms of income

But you a slave cause your franchise owned by a guy in the 0.0000000000000000000000000001%

 

[AldavisAlbundyAllah!]

When it comes to entertainment like rap, dunking basketballs and catching football's we're at the top of the list. Going by what's on tv would lead people worldwide (including black people) that everything is ok.

Don't let a few black faces making millions to dunk basketballs fool ya. We're still last in every other category where it REALLY counts.

I don't see anything about slavery .

OP being smoked screed ?

nikkas being dazed and confused once more ?

Makes no sense I just looked up Ben Simmons rookie deal and if I saw it right dude will make like 26 million in this deal but he a slave? How many dudes on here making 26mill? People have to stop with the silly stuff. That's why some of these dudes come online with this stuff cause IRL you'd get laughed out the building we this silly stuff.
