Uh oh, Whitlocks fat ass on the scene.

Why did Huff Post have to use that picture of Kobe, I don't trust the ? media. This should a convo between black people
-
As a black man, you really need to figure out what you're doing with your life when Jason Whitlock is coming off blacker than you.

You know Tobe ? up when even Jason Coonlock is starts to making sense...
That Huff Post article is just as confusing as the rest of this ? ...all if did was mention Kobe responds to Jim Brown's comments, but didn't actually say what it was. It reads like the quote was the response to Jim Brown. Until this whole article comes out alot of ? just seems completely out of context or just plain odd as ? . -

Didn't he only live in Europe for 6 years.
Born in philly ...left PA at age 6 and returned back to PA at 12.
He spent time in Europe but not sure I would say "he grew up in Europe".
He probably tries to sell that idea though.

Lol I used to work w/ this big 6'5 ngga from Brooklyn named 'Shaka'. Militant ass ngga. He hated Kobe for snitchin on Shaq and his bytchassness in general
He compared Kobe to lil snitchin Randy from the Wire Lmao Ngga would do a lil impression of Kobe in the interogation room
'I know about a murder! Uh uh, i didnt do it, it was..it was..it was SHAQ! Yea, Shaq ? bytches, too' lmao
Maybe you had to been there but he had the whole office in stictches. Big 6'5 ngga doin a lil roituine, and after he do it he'd laugh real quick but he was really ? and just shake his head 'Lil bytch ass ngga.' -
not defending people bc their black is right...he coulda used the duke ? case as an example
but the example he used was absolutely wrong...Martin was murdered and stalked bc he was black and people came to his defense bc of the presumption of guilt bc he was black not bc he was black....(it took a whole year to bring charges against Zimmerman after national pressure) and then he admits that travyon was wronged....so how the ? can you criticize someone defending him if even ou think he was wronged?

or when they got pulled over in the benz and carlton just didn't understand why... -

More than one way to be a lost ? ...
black awareness about racism has nothing to do with region
black people world wide face (esp in Europe)
even Africans in their on country face racism and unequality
no excuses this ? is just wrong -
Historically, those in power KNEW the facts,and either ignored or skewed said facts to fit an agenda. That's what leads to injustice.soul rattler wrote: »So he's a ? for prioritizing facts over race? Or is this just an undercover Kobe hate/troll thread?
when it comes to black crime.....most likely no one else cares about facts...thats why so many black men are found guilty even when the facts support innocence.
No. Everyone should wait for facts. This is usually referred to as "thinking before acting".but black people should wait for the facts?
You can't destroy the master's house with the master's tools. In the real world, ignorance can't defeat ignorance. Thievery, murder, lies, bigotry, and xenophobia don't have colors so doing dumb ? to make up for the dumb ? white people did won't rectify anything but a fool's pride.and dont everyone else put race first before asking for facts? i have not seen one case where a black man is presumed innocent until proven guilty.....that for everyone else except black people...we are guilty an have to prove our innocence.
or is it some of yall got a little money an dont have to live in the real world -

The Trayvon Martin thing only got as big as it did because a grown ass man killed a teenager and wasn't immediately arrested. Yes, race played a factor, and the outcome of the case had drastic racial implications. But the controversy only inflated because of the FACTS, not because Trayvon was black.
I thought this was generally agreed upon. -
kobe needs to just log of and work on his recovery

Makes sense he just shouldn't have framed it in context with trayvon
That accusation had zero to do with that situation -

Copper I hear you, but awareness alone is not enough, to expect a ? like KOBE, to relate to the strife and struggles of a real brotha (in any country). That’s like asking the ? to understand why racism is wrong. Yea, the ? is aware of racism, but they can’t relate to it because they don’t experience the negative effects of it.
So, it’s reasonable to understand why a ? like KOBE is lost. His whole perspective is out of whack because he came up in an environment that didn’t produce the types of harsh experiences that most BLACK MEN can relate too.
So, when a ? like KOBE see’s racism against minorities, he a cause and effect type ? , what they do to cause this result. Whereas you or I may see the ? for what it really is….

They treat blacks just as bad if not worst in Italy. Racism is pretty overt in Italy, look how they treat Mario Balotelli. -

Yeah i don't know where this idea that life is all great for black folks in Europe. They're pretty open with their racism. Ain't nobody throwing bananas on the court or field like they do soccer players in European countries. -
I think, perhaps, some of you (most of you actually) are reacting to what you think he said and not really understanding what he might have meant to say.
Some of you guys are acting as though he's condoning what happened, or excusing it on the part of Zimmerman...but that isn't the case.
I think he's making a larger point, in the sense that; We blacks tend to be overly reactionary (case in point, this thread) when there's a flashpoint event involving an african american individual, Rather than maybe talking through the facts and observing the entire situation, etc...we tend to scream ? murder at the first 'indication' of what we perceive to be injustice against a black man.
He's saying we won't react this way if the aggrieved party was indian, or latino, or chinese or whatever.....and that's not right, we should too.
I think he means to say that all injustice is bad, and also, a 'victim' isn't necessarily a 'victim' because he/she is black.
In that sense, he has point.
Again, I don't believe he was saying what happened to Martin was okay. That's just my opinion on it. -
Stephen A. Smith is Arsenio caping for Kobe...
