New Blake Griffin interview just hit the streets. Talks Sterling

[pete clemenza]

This dude Blake thinks he's white. He's at all the spots rich white boys go in la trying to fit in playing flip cup and ping pong

You said this before in another thread.. So where do you see him hanging out at in LA?

How are you feeling about your own game and your own prospects?
I don't know, man. I've seen so many ups and downs. Every summer, I just try to put in the work, and then whatever shape the team takes, that's kind of how it takes. If I need to be, like, a guy that scores a lot, I'm willing to do that. If I have to be a guy that Zach Randolph treats like mankind from 1998's Hell In A Cell match, I'm willing to do that. Two seasons ago, I didn't average as many points, mainly I just tried to dunk it from wherever I caught it... I was very ineffective from 3. It was the lowest I ever had, my career low. And I wasn't, like, upset about it or anything. Just, that was just how the team took shape. I'd watch some classic Urkel episodes, and feel better. The starters didn't play as many minutes. Played career-low minutes, career-low shots, and average career-low points, which seems on par. But I just felt like, after my first year, my second and third, I just took so much heat. Especially on message boards, I mean... all these white, mexican, and asian posters pretending to be black, and hating on me for being mixed... it didn't seem right. I didn't think I was doing that poorly, to take this amount of heat. They didn't even give me a half-off discount, you know what I mean? And I hear almost everything. Popeye Jones. I'm not sure, not exactly sure why. But I probably has to do with my beautiful hair.

Dude kept it real.

I grew in Africa...Fact...I noticed that Somalis and Ethiopians were not treated like they were real "blacks"...Fact...

You didn't "grow up" in Africa. You're a Canadian cac who lives somewhere close to Hamilton, Ontario. That's where you likely grew up. I'm not sure how you can tell whether an African treats Somalis and Ethiopians like "blacks" and in which country you would even witness this happening. Please explain what this even means and where you grew up (if not Canada). In Canada, Somalis and Ethiopians are seen as blacks by blacks (just a different kind), but I can imagine how some cac might think differently.

It's only in the USA where somebody can have a father who is 3/4 white + 1/4 black and a mother who is 4/4 white, and the kid somehow end up "black" because of that little trace of black phenotype...

First, this isn't Blake Griffin. Second, there's more than a "little trace" of black ancestry in Griffin. Third, many people are mixed in the USA, they are still black.

That shyt is ridiculous because I have noticed mulattoes marry other mulattoes or whites...Especially non-celebrities...

So what if some do, what is your point?

It was a prime time for black people to take control of their talent and make the world take black people across the globe seriously...

It's prime time you mind your own business, cac.

It is crazy that black people don't own their own skills...Blacks been getting jerked since forever, and they have not learned to take control of their destiny...

How can any black child growing up in this world have ANY pride in being black...I am not real pride...Saying you proud of being black and marrying a white woman doesn't cut it...

What the fukk are you mad about it? Are you trying to claim Blake Griffin? You need to see Plumlee, breh.

If anything, this says more about the type of daddying Blake received more than anything.

Any person who has a dad of color but has to learn about Hank Aaron through a book as an adult should be questioned.

Blake reminds me of the Oklahomans I was around that told me they never heard of Malcolm X until the movie came out.

Supperclub has 2-3 black events a week and ain't nothin' wrong with a couple of upscale spots like The Bungalow and Wilshire

-go ahead and judge him on his blackness in other areas but there's nothing wrong with hittin' upscale spots in LA

You'd be amazed by the level of (willful) ignorance white people have on Slavery, Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement.
It's not really surprising since those topics are mostly shunted or whitewashed on high school textbooks.To find throughout coverage of these topics, you'd need to go to college or do some research yourself.

Black people who are oblivious to race relations scare me.
