Re: BLM Floored
Fixing systematic racism is obviously the driving force of the movement, but that's a pretty broad assumption to think basketball players are simply OK with gang murders. Pretty sure they are against all murder.

Yet we dont see them coming out every day talking about the changes that could help black lives in those communities in situations.Crimson's Ghost wrote: ↑August 28th, 2020, 2:12 pm Fixing systematic racism is obviously the driving force of the movement, but that's a pretty broad assumption to think basketball players are simply OK with gang murders.

I dont think they are ok with gang murders, or any murder, but if you want to be active in making black lives better (as should all of us) you cant ignore real issues then complain when they are brought up

Re: BLM Floored
I believe that the cop that kneeled on George Floyd's neck has been charged, but yet the protests and riots continue. What kind of changes are the protesters really seeking? I doubt that police departments have different policies for minorities. You are talking about changing mind-sets and in-grained biases, and I don't know how you do that.

Re: BLM Floored
Why hasn't the government quarantined me in a luxury hotel in Orlando with personal chefs, massage therapists, and a basketball court to hang on with my friends?? You're right, the NBA has handled Covid way better than anyone. Ha ha!Crimson's Ghost wrote: ↑August 28th, 2020, 9:28 am
The NBA basically responded to the COVID-19 pandemic better than the federal government, and they've done a good job of speaking out on social issues as well.

Lock down, constant testing, etc.
And actually acknowledging there was a problem in the first place. The NBA responded faster by shutting down games at their arenas before the rest of the country really followed.
This whole covid response has been a disaster and we should be back to normal by now.

Re: BLM Floored
I am sure if you asked cops what can be done to stop this from happening majority of the time it would be to stop resisting arrest when armed.Crimson's Ghost wrote: ↑August 28th, 2020, 4:41 pmColonel Mustard wrote: ↑August 28th, 2020, 4:04 pmWhat kind of changes are the protesters really seeking?
