Luol Deng “he has a little African in him, not in a bad way, but he's a guy who would have a nice store out front, but sell you counterfeit stuff out of the back."


Yall really think thats racism? Sounds like a joke a scout wrote to get some laughs from whoever read it.
and dude just read it...how is him reading that grounds for a firing?

If your boss or a prospective employer said that about you what would you do?

Your answer will determine your future on The Coli...

that kinda statement in a typical corporate environment captured in email would be totally inappropriate to say the least. you'd at least be getting a talking to from HR if someone decided to snitch.

Jilla has always been tap dancing. Don't mind him

I used to think he was just one of those regular aspirational "we got to do better" talented tenth bow tie wearing success whores (new blacks). But recently its been pure tap dancing and making excuses for racism...

Exactly.

How can you not see that as racist or culturally insensitive? He basically reaffirmed that scout's opinion by repeating what he wrote. He agreed with the sentiment that Africans are deceitful people and associated Deng with a negative stereotype. Luol Deng has been a leader everywhere he's been and given back to his community. Would you continue to work for someone if they said that shyt about you?

"I left the system cuz I didn't want people judging me" :hula: "Racism is all in your head, you can over come it if you stop complaining"

Only thing I'd argue with is I don't believe the scout story. I think those are at least in part Danny Ferrys adlbs...

Bingo.
Racist? nahhh....Black folks dont make jokes about Africans like that?
Yall never been to NYC?
You never heard someone say "go see one of those Africans to get you a fake purse"?

Like I said before...I quit my last job (over 2 yrs ago) because I didnt like someone being over me.
So yes, I would quit.

Ferry should be fired because im sure that owner was "repeating" something he heard from someone else too and he had to step down.

That coach you guys have seems to be cool but if the GM that brought him in is gone he's likely to be a gonner too
