Jeremy Lin says "racist players have called him coronavirus"

[mbewane]

Why are people in the thread assuming it's black people that called him that?

And yes it is a racially-based derogatory term.

Imagine being so infected by your oppressor that you develop several blind spots to your emulating them with other people...and giving your all to defending the indefensible, attempting to argue to the death that you're not.




Smarten up.

Honestly it is not right, but at the same time it is trash talk. Im pretty sure Marbury experienced some racist shyt in China. So its not like it's exclusive to America .

Why won’t he say who said. This type of quote makes everyone needlessly look bad

I mean if Africans we’re keeping Asian pregnant woman out their hospitals, going into Asian neighbourhoods setting up shop in these poor hoods and still being prejudice to these same people for example....

A white man calling me a name Is the least of my problems as a black man, same thing with Asians who have called me many a name in English and their own language probably....

So us keeping the same energy, would be us being indifferent, that’s the same energy, if you think the energy we have to white or even Asian people is based around the subject of name calling, then go read a book, stupid,

1. That's an out of context argument as it pertains to J. Lin, who's never, as an individual far as I know ascribed to said beliefs.
2. Its also a straw man because what we ARE talking about is racial slurs. So yes, that is what THIS particular thread is about.
3. If it doesn't affect you that much then why you so up in arms? I'm not goofy enough to act like slurs and racism doesn't affect me or my brothers/sisters. And thus, I'd never want to perpetuate such ignorance.

Its simple.

Asians trying to make us look racist when they are the biggest anti-black racists on earth.

So why should we keep the same energy? I don’t get it, why won’t we be up in arms when people diss our own? Who’s saying Asians shouldn’t be up in arms? But why do you want a group of black people who historically have been the butt of every races supremacy and prejudice to keep the same energy and be up in arms for others?

If you think I’m going to deal with situations between my Brothers sisters and cousins with that off a stranger then you ain’t the smartest man, it doesn’t mean I agree with whatever has been said but no I would not keep the same energy I do as when I see a police kill or racially abuse a black man.

That’s all I’m saying, everyone is strong enough to fight their own battles the best I can do is to not raise my children to be people who are abusive in such way...

How many minutes he play a game?

 

[Cladyclad]

That is racist wtf lol

 

[Swagnificent]

This. nikkas would be up in arms if a Asian player was runnin around calling nikkas "AIDS".

Keep the same energy. Its not that hard to not be an a$$hole.

Don't say nikkas like you black.

Calling an asian "coronavirus" is not racist. Racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another. A brotha saying that isn't trying to imply superiority over asians. Its just a joke.

Calling a black man "AIDS" however is racist because its trying to imply black people are more sexually promiscuous than other races.

Black people need power in order to be racist tho - that's what the fast talking blerds in college, and the hoteps on the street corner said.

You sound rather satisfied. Like you couldn't wait to prove black people are racist

Edit: I can't tell if you were genuine or being sarcastic.

 

[Swagnificent]

That is racist wtf lol

No its not. Read my last post.

 

[number21]

So many of you nikkas want that hug from that non-black.

Lol pathetic

 

[Swagnificent]

Yall really laughing and condoning this shyt?

Yeah. Cause its just a joke.

You cacs ain't fooling no one with this false equivalency.
