Lebron says Morey's China tweet was dangerous and misinformed.

China runs the nba

How about he just shut the fukk up? No comment and keep it moving, ain’t gotta be groupie and lie for China.

Because this is an NBA exec who has undoubtedly sat in on some of these NBA meetings with China and signed off on the agreements.

Then he decides to say fukk all that for internet clout while actual players are over there and have to answer to his words.

It was careless and dude should be called out for it.

Wow, I'm disappointed in The Coli. I'm going to break down for you what's happening in Hong Kong.

Up until the last 60 years, post-WWII China was plundered by the Western Powers. Because China lost a war, GB took control of Hong Kong among other things. At some point GB and China signed an agreement stating that Hong Kong will have 50 years of sovereignty and western freedoms and then it'll become part of Hong Kong. Hong Kong wants freedom. For Americans, like Daryl Morey that's all they need to know. Hence his tweet.

From China's perspective, this entire issue is wrapped in a long and sad history of Colonialism. Not only that but as an Authoritarian regime, they rule through fear. If they let Hong Kong slide, then the fear that they use to control their populace no longer has any power. To put it another way, this issue poses an existential threat to China's government. If you want to interact with China at all, there can be no siding with Hong Kong.

So here's the question. Should LBJ and other stars stand with Hong Kong or should they remain silent? Now the media will say they are cowards, but here's the thing. These guys are all Black. Why is it that America finds it easier to criticize other countries and fight for the rights of citizens that live halfway around the globe, but they can't find the courage to stand up for Black people right here. Why is it that Daryl Morey will tweet support to Hong Kong protesters, but when Atatiana Jefferson gets murdered in her own home by a police officer he remains silent? And the same goes for all the Americans calling out any NBA star that doesn't take a stand on an issue that will directly hurt them. If they did I'd respect them, but do they need to?

Definitely no. Look at all the American companies that do business in China. Why is it that Black people are vilified for not taking a stand when none of them are? And more importantly, why is it that the same people criticizing these Black athletes for not standing do not support African-American rights when we protest? African-Americans are the most politically immature people in the world. The only thing that will happen to any of these stars if they protest is that it'll directly hurt their self-interest. If China came out and called them monkeys and n-words and talked about how African-Americans aren't humans. I'd most definitely call them cowards. But to fight for someone halfway around the globe? Why?

Just because America forces African-American to protest and march and do all kinds of crazy nonsense to get our rights as human beings, does not mean that we now have to march around the globe speaking out on every issue. If one of them wants to do that fine? But not protesting doesn't make them cowards, it only makes them American.

And the next time you hear someone call out one of these guys for not taking a stand, ask them the last time they took a stand for African-American rights. We've been fighting for more than 400 years for our complete rights as citizens and we are still fighting. But not only do we have to live through the sad reality of having to fight for our natural given rights, we also have to deal with Americans who have the audacity, on the one hand, to remain silent while: police terrorize us, the financial system redlines us and our school system sabotages us, and on the other hand, demand that we speak out for human rights violations across the globe.

Americans suffer from a weird kind of arrogance and self-delusion that allows them to call out everyone's flaws but their own. It should come as no surprise, that racism far-reaching effects are seen even in this phenomenon. The same people who pose the biggest obstacles to our freedom and full rights as citizens - Trump rips NBA players, officials for 'pandering to China,' but says league has to work out dispute on its own - are the ones calling them out the loudest. This is why you have to stay woke.

Smart Dumb ninja post

Thread at least had a few good pages of jokes before turning into shyt.

Not Lebron’s business, shouldn’t have spoke on it at all.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Cot damn LeBron getting it from Liberals AND Conservatives.

And the Militants still hate him for how he 'd around the tamir rice shooting.

What a PR disaster for LeBron. Sheesh.

I’m 100% sure Bron doesn’t give a fukk about smart dumb militants. You can leave them out of this.

If that little small retweet supporting the HongKong protest by one exec threatens your livelihood then u dnt need to be traveling over there and doing business then if we keeping it 100. If China is that petty and unstable why lie in the bed with them . If u soooo scared of a tweet then u dnt need to be over their doing business then. You can’t control what the next man do.

At the end of the day they wrong for COUNTING on China money anyway. China money is directly tied into their communist politics. It was always a slippery slope to start. I wouldn’t be able to trust a partner who throws a hissy fight off of a tweet.

LeBron is fake woke just like the rest of these celebrities.

This is nothing but facts. If your life is in potential danger based off a tweet YOU didn’t even send, then why are you over there in the first place?

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Actually Lebron is right

The real culprit in all of this is Great Britain. They muscled China into letting them "lease" HK and controlled it for over 100 years.

British colonialism caused this. Just like it caused the current beef between Pakistan and India. Had HK always been apart of China, this would've never happened.

Because his employer required him to go and told him he’d be safe, then they pulled the rug out from under him.

He really didn’t, and he shouldn’t have even said that.

Them nikkas ain’t speaking about our issues, so why should we speak on theirs?

 

[Mike18jj]

Do a quick search of that guys timeline, and I but you he has not tweeted one tweet about the social injustices we go through in america. Bron fukked up but these people who have never cared about the shyt we go through now trying to play the morale police, it's disgusting.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Did Morey talk about injustice in America?

Do you need him to?

We’ve gone from being mad at Morey fumbling yuans over HK to being mad he’s not championing your cause. If somebody feels a way about something strongly he has that right. Morey really didn’t know how much pull his own tweets have. He still considers himself some nerd who crunches algorithms all day and doesn’t realize them 235K followers are worldwide and that he’s held to a higher standard because he’s an exec. That’s why execs generally are uninteresting people.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

The irony

You tweeted this(something that Chinese people aren’t allowed to do)from an iPhone.

fukk all those people in Hong Kong I guess for clout huh?
