Kyrie Irving: “How am I free… if I know kids are still working in cobalt mines in the Congo, making Teslas?”

[F*ckthemkids]

In before Coli breh tell Kyrie what he should be doing instead of bringing awareness to the issue .

To be fair, people have known about this for a long time. Those mines have been used to power instrument panels in fighter jets, to cellphones to tesla's. Sadly no one does anything cause they just gotta have the new Iphone, or Tesla.

He should work to try to remedy this situation all offseason.

In the meantime, I'm sure his teammates would appreciate it if he remains focused and can get them deep into the playoffs.

Wait Elon Musk uses child labor ?

Every tech company in the world is using child labor to mine coltan. The device you’re looking at this site on right now was created through child labor.

Oh, so that's why no one does anything. How about the average person is just as powerless?

technically them cacs have as much connection to them kids in the congo as kyrie does, so they not free either by his logic. nobody is free.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Why are the leaders of those countries allowing their children to be subjected to such harsh exploitive conditions?


Sounds like a failure of leadership or blatant corruption.

im not sure how people are getting mad about kyrie saying this lol

He's raising awareness on the dark side of production and it's being dismissed with semantics.

It’s just the fact, if not for the exploitation of African labor majority of the developed wouldn’t be able to afford these devices.

If people knew what they would have to sacrifice in order for Africa to get a fair shot, everyone outside of Africa including the blacks would say “fukk Africa”.

It’s just goofy that dudes are trying to make this align with their politics when majority of the world is benefiting from the scheme in some shape or form.
