This is a tough one for me because I am a Mexican who grew up in a rough part of Los Angeles with blacks but since I am not black I am not really in a position to comment on that struggle so it is different from the one I grew up with and IMO was/is much worse. That is also the reason I do not use the N word, that and the fact that it is corny for any non black to use that word. We got our own lingo in LA for browns and the N word makes you seem like a wanna be. I also grew up a Stan of Kobe since 98 and have seen him play all over LA from staples, to the sports arena, forum, galen center and Pauly pavilion. Dude is my all time favorite athlete. But I will say that he messed up here. He owes his people for standing behind him during the rape trial. There are still ESPN cacs that hate him for that and it really is on some low key racial $hit. I get what he is trying to say in a way because I say the same things about voting for people just cause of the color of their skin. Our opinion as a minority gets discounted because of our simple mindedness when it comes to blindly choosing sides based on last name or skin color. But he was wrong to choose such an example to make his point. GZ should be in jail for second degree or at least manslaughter. If he would have made that clear he might have avoided the backlash he is receiving. And even though I am LWO to the core I cannot support his statement here. Hopefully he learns from this and reexamines his position about his people, their struggle and his place in society.

You way too diplomatic. Kobe didn't flinch when Twitter was ablaze. In fact, he clowned us. We gotta spank him hard and then hug him

BLACKS IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FAIR TO EVERYBODY ELSE
MORE THAN WE'VE BEEN FAIR TO OUR OWN PEOPLE...
AND ITS THE REASON WE'RE IN THE POSITION WE'RE IN NOW.

Let's get this straight too, blacks were supporting Cochran not OJ. fukk a OJ.

not really. I supported OJ simply because the shyt WAS sketchy and there have been COUNTLESS cases of cacs getting off for killin our people. With the OJ case, now they know how it feels.

You didn't contradict what I said. Blacks were behind the defense because the system is corrupt and Cochran outsmarted the state and used the system against itself. As far as OJ as an individual he's a c00n and always has been. fukk him.

Pay attention people. These c00ns have mastered the art of perpetuating white racism almost as well as their white massas. Somehow this Kobe and Smith have flipped this Trayvon Martin thing into being an example of black people jumping to conclusions rallying behind the kid just because he was black:pachaha: This is the new chess move that c00ns/crackers are using to perpetuate white racism. Arsenio needs to be called out as well because he sat up there and not only cosigned but he added to Smith's bullshyt by bringing up Tawana Brawley. All of this "we should just wait on the facts, we can't act like we haven't come along way in this country, we can't complain about racism if we're racist ourselves" are nothing but comments meant to create a smoke screen. All of that shyt is completely irrelevant to the Trayvon Martin case. The Heat's photo-op was made to bring attention to the case because reasonable people felt that Zimmerman should've at least been arrested and charged for the killing of Martin. There was certainly enough facts available to determine that Zimmerman should've at least been arrested and charged. This video clip was disgusting.

Real shyt :obama:

I still don't see the problem with what he and Kobe said. You guys just sound overly militant and are completely missing the point of the message they're trying to convey.

All these clowns make Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.

Breh I've seen you post quite a bit about Bryant Gumbel these last couple days. No hate but I remember when I was in high school Bryant Gumbel being synonymous with Uncle Tom. I legit don't know of any instances where he went to bat for black folk so guide me.

Kobe was wrong for attaching those comments to the Trayvon Martin case. If he simply said this as an isolated comment that was a general statement, then fine , ok, but why attach those sediments to the Trayvon case?

The same white folks who demonized and criminalized Kobe during his rape case, when they "didn't have all the facts" are the same people that immediately jumped to the defense of Zimmerman. Kobe didn't rape that chick, but he was convicted in the white court of public opinion before the trial was over
