If colorism is why Curry is hated, why is Allen Iverson one of the most revered players of all time?

The league, fans, and other players fukking LOVE Curry. Any "hate" he gets is understandable competitive rivalries. EVERY player worth his salt wants to come at the King and right now at this moment Curry is King. And to his credit he's kept himself pretty bulletproof. His wife is loving and loyal. His parents are cool. His daughter is an adorable angel just waiting to get her own YouTube channel. When the worst that's happened to you is that people clowned your mom for old lady twerking your doing phenomenally well in mainstream sports....



Lebron on the other hand, has had to deal with REAL shyt being thrown his way. Dude dealt with ACTUAL modern day racism from Cacs from every angle. The Cleveland Cac's, The Media Cac's, Cac Owners, Cac Coaches. Cac's calling him every name in the book while orgasming at every Heat loss. The same Cac's who judged him for YEARS for not winning a ring drug him through the mud for putting HIMSELF in the best possible situation to get the very thing everybody said he HAD to achieve to be validated. On top of that you had c00ns jumping on the bandwagon saying he was soft, making fun of him having no father growing up, calling his mother a whore, writing this ridiculous narrative that he was "scared" to be the "Man".....

They hate him yeah, but I don't think it's because he's lightskin though. I think it's just the most obvious characteristic of him that's why they do it.

These same nikkas talking that shyt will then turn around and call Draymond "Donkey" or "Gaymond."

There are a few nikkas that hate him cause he's lightskin but I don't think it's the majority.

It's the same shyt that we all do when we're clowning a player, we just go for their defining characteristic. Steph and KLAY are "Waffle Colored Negroes" just like Lebron's hairline is a punchline, Durant's nappy hair is a punchline, Westbrook dressing like Jaden Smith is a punchline, etc.

Jemele Hill has went on national airwaves and claimed that black people and NBA players have sent an exorbitant amount of hate Steph's way because he is light skin...

in all honesty, Black people have always JOKED about light skin/darksin. Almost every black comedian in the 90's had a joke about light skinned dude being "out of style".

I just hate hearing a black person go on TV and suggest that Steph Curry is hated by his own race, yet assumedly loved by whites and every one else.

 

[AldavisAlbundyAllah!]

It's not cuz Curry is lightskin

it's cuz BOTH CURRY AND KLAY ARE LIGHTSKIN.

THE UNITY IS OVERWHELMING

SPLASH BROTHERS BABY.

A lot of these folks that are saying that bullshyt just found out they're black or are just black on the internet so they don't get the joke.


Steph's a baller. Period. But I still crack lightskin jokes about him. But if some white folks tried to pull some racist shyt on him, Im backing him up 100%. Folks gotta lighten up. These shyts is just jokes.

Jemele is such a fukking clown. A lack of code of conduct. She never should go to cacs about eternal Black topics.

Honestly when Iverson was ballin niccas was official and wasnt talkin about other Black mens complexions...that was only a Black girls thing.

Then out of the blue niccas was makin a million light skin/dark skin jokes about OTHER NICCAS on the internet and sh1t


It was funny for about 2 weeks, after that it looked straight up fruity and gay, and I personally never thought Black dudes would go there...and STAY!

and Ive heard plenty of light skin shots thrown at Curry, even a lot on here to be honest.

Times have changed, in this case not for the better.

 

[darryl]

Allen iverson is brownskin homie

 

[Remote]

Allen could make being ashy a trendy thing b

Allen is the realest nikka in the history of basketball

Steph is the Drake of basketball

 

[mbewane]

nikka look in GS game threads and you can see the outrage cause dude is lightskin. "Lite brite" "Biege nikka" "yellow nikka" why do nikkas on the coli of all placed try to refute this

EVERY SINGLE Curry/GS thread some breh has that "fukk these light skin ni***s" and now all of a sudden it's "No one hates Curry" and "If they hate him it's not because of his skin complexion"

Yea im sure Wade grew up idolizing the holy trinity, and not a popular basketball player.


Im sure Lebron wears 23, not for Jordan, but for the 23 different male prospects who were suspected to have been his dad.

The No. 3 is a significant for Wade, and the number has become a common thread in his life. Wade, a devoted Christian, picked his jersey number in honor of the "Holy Trinity."
