MEM�s Vince Carter joined an exclusive club on Mon. night, becoming just the 3rd player in last 40 yrs age 39 or older to score at least 20 pts w/ 5 rebs off the bench (Ewing in 2001 and MJ twice in 2002).

No women. No kids.

Everyone in my I.T. department that I worked for were often referred to as "the tech posse". I was unaware I should be offended.

Would it be more or less offensive if PJ used the word "flock" instead?

Man white people should probably stop arguing about what is, err, problematic.

"No but you see redskins doesn't offend me, I don't see the problem."

Like always it's GTBW.

Large swaths of White people treat themselves being called racist or racially problematic as a worse offense than we do being called literal slurs.

You know drat well the context and implications are way different. That argument is essentially the same as white people who say "well blacks say the N word why can't I."

Context and history matter.

They are literally the ones successfully running a business, foundation etc etc

Rich Paul has other clients.

Maverick Carter negotiated with Nike a loving "billion" dollar lifetime deal. Handles all of his marketing. As well as running a foundation that does a ton of good poo poo in communities.

Don't loving minimize what those dudes are doing.

Yes they are friends of LeBron. But you wouldn't call *insert white dude here* hanger on's if they did what they those dudes do for Lebron they would be his business partners or management team.

Dexo posted:

Yes without LeBron they wouldn't have had the opportunity to do what they are doing. But they still had to put in the work and do the schooling needed to get to the positions they are in.

LeBron gave them the opportunity to put in work and get paid for it and they made their own careers out of it. It's not like they are just crashing at LeBron's crib and not significantly paying back the investment James made in them.

And it's offensive as poo poo to minimize that.

Because I have been someone who at school has been told you are only in the "gifted"/academy program because of quota's. implying thatI didn't score well on the tests needed for admittance.

I have been told I only have my job due to affirmative action. I have been talked down to in my job as if I didn't belong. I constantly had people tell me when I worked in computer repair places of there was someone "better" or with more qualifications. With them not knowing ish about me when I was literally the most qualified and highly certified person on staff.

So yeah the careless dismissal a black dude who has put in the time and effort to learn a craft that is his loving career and who has done a drat good job of it loving strikes a nerve.

So once again go gently caress yourself.

Nuggets just waived Jarnell Stokes. Gary Harris is out for possibly a month. Barton is out for like 2 or 3 more weeks. Who do they pick up at this point? The guard situation is a loving nightmare, they need someone who wont turn the loving ball over every 3rd possession.

It's a shame, everything's a shambles on that team. Nurkic started out hot and killed Jokic's confidence to the point where he asked to be benched and now Nurkic is cooling off, everyone's hurt, and even the coach hates Mudiay. It's gonna be a rough one

Maybe you'd like me once we got past the lack of shared premises? Maybe some ideal of Christian Kindness, or if you're not religious perhaps a general sense of having to hold oneself to a higher standard than the rest of the mob? I don't know man we all have to find our own reasons for charity in this tough and cynical world.

Hahaha gently caress yourself x4

The first thing a black person who gets wronged is asked to do is forgive and forget. To bite their tounge. Or get an appeal to their religion and Godliness. We always are forced to be above the fray and be the bigger man. While people continue to say and do offensive poo poo to us. I'm frankly tired of it.
