Kyrie Irving Apologizes

[rabbitfood]

I think we here at The Coli should do our part and donate to our local Jewish charities. Let's start the healing process.

Sarver used the n word

Kyrie posted a picture of a book that contained some misinformation

Donald Sterling banned for life by the NBA for "deeply disturbing" comments

You're calling a Russian hoax and Nazi propaganda that lead to a genocide 'misinformation'?​

I’m calling inaccurate information in the book misinformation

Comparing this to someone using the n word is silly as hell

I don’t know who raised y’all niccas

I’m calling inaccurate information in the book misinformation

The entire point was that someone non-Black stated anti-Black rhetoric and got their funds vaporized.

That information wasn't 'inaccurate'.

It was demonstrably, objectively FALSE.​

I think black people are the only people that don’t realize just because you “apologize” doesn’t mean you really mean it.

Nah, Black people know. And that's the issue.

These groups demanding apologies don't care if you really mean it. In fact I'm sure they know you don't. They just want you to bend the knee. Making people do something they don't want to is a flex of power.

I hate when people do this.

Act like the messenger is more important than the message.

All that matter is...

Is the quote accurate, or not?


Is it insightful, or not?

We don't know whether it was Voltaire, some Nazi, or Joe Exotic who said it.

And it doesn't matter.

You do know who said it though, it was a prominent White Supremacist. That's not in question.

And no, the quote isn't accurate, it's dumb as fukk. White supremacists use that quote all the time to prove that White people are oppressed, because you're not allowed to say the N-word or make racist claims about Black people without getting hemmed up. Heck, in the NBA that one announcer got fired solely for saying "All Lives Matter". Does that mean Black people rule over White?

If Sarver had publicly posted a book of slanderous misinformation about Black people and only got suspended 5 games.

While Kyrie was reported to have used anti-Semitic slurs in private and got suspended the entire year.

Would you be saying that Kyrie was the one who got off easy?

lmao never thought I'd see Kyrie Irving bow down, wow

PND took his bytch and he did nothing. I expect far less from him

 

[Wardo]

I respect him and respect what he said. He did more than enough to express his position. I believe he set things right.

This is why our ancestors just stfu and did work. Nobody got time for all these 'finding my true history' ass nikkas.

Believe what you want, factually inaccurate or nah, just stfu about it in mixed company like everybody else. Telling truth to power only works in made for tv movies and chit chat is for females. Men build institutions that outlive them and actively create the world they want to see.

I can’t really imagine a similar situation. What could sarver post that had slanderous misinformation about black folks where it wasn’t obviously in the book?

I’d heard of “Hebrews to negros” before and I never assumed it would have anti semitism (obviously it does)

Suns, Mercury owner Robert Sarver suspended by NBA for racist, sexist actions

Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury owner Robert Sarver has been suspended by the NBA for one year.

nypost.com

Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury owner Robert Sarver has been suspended by the NBA for one year as a result of the league’s investigation into workplace culture within the Suns organization.

​

The report revealed the 60-year-old used the N-word at least five times “when recounting the statements of others;” made inappropriate sex-related comments about the physical appearance of women; made inappropriate physical contact toward men; and displayed demeaning and harsh treatment of employees, which included yelling and cursing at them.

The league also hit Sarver with a $10 million fine as a result of the findings.

​

Did you not read my post breh?

I said that no non-black person has ever had their BANK ACCOUNT vaporized as a result of spewing anti-black rhetoric. No one

What you posted and bolded was about a league levied FINE against a BILLIONAIRE. Not a total and complete cancellation of his BANK ACCOUNT. These are NOT the same thing breh

I was referencing Kanye having an entire account at a bank canceled for simply expressing an unpopular opinion

Remember this?

Kyrie stays saying silly shyt. He’s just never been held accountable when he tries to be the smartest guy in the room. If he truly had any conviction he would’ve retire. But truth is he just likes to sound different and hear himself talk. He has alot of influence which is why I’m very critical of him. I really wish black people didn’t hold athletes/rappers to the forefront of being leaders.

He's a contrarian. And just like a broken clock, he is sometimes right, but the process of getting to that conclusion was probably the wrong one.
