Yeah I'm such an rear end in a top hat for defending Charles Barkley's right to state his opinions. Apparently it doesn't agree with Dexo's ranting so he's allowed to curse me out.

He's not a politician or whatever but he is very much a public figure. He was loving given a whole TV series called "The Race card" to spout his bullshit on TNT that's gonna be out this year.

I hope he actually believes it because if he doesn't and is saying that poo poo it's even worse.

Well at least give the show a shot before you denounce it. I know Chuck says a lot of poo poo that doesn't help the cause (and yes I completely 100% agree with you that systematic racism is still a very real thing that is more prevalent that white people will admit), but the public figure nonsense is used on everyone. You have have to 1. Listen to Chuck in the first place and 2. get your political views from a NBA analyst that everyone on the panel makes fun of. I'm willing to bet he's not influencing as many people as you think, nor should he be demonized because he holds view points that are different from your own.

I don't want to speak for Dexo here, but I think it was pretty clear he wasn't saying Barkley isn't allowed to speak, it's that when he is in his position and says what he says he comes off as hypocritical, an idiot, and damaging. Freedom of speech doesn't mean you won't get roasted for what you say.

Bruh. I literally had someone I talked to like a month ago quote Barkley at me about how black people don't care about black on black crime.

Holding different viewpoints than mine is fine. I don't care if someone disagrees with me on like the tax code, or if someone disagrees with me on healthcare. Equal rights and fairness in policing is something that there is no bridging the gap with me with. There is a correct answer and Barkley's isn't it.

People are annoyed that a person who gets great deal of media attention is saying things that gives credence to an unproductive way of thinking. And he does it in a way that empowers those who don't want to actually address the real problem. So he's both wrong and a distraction. Which I guess he's fine to be if he wants. It's just then fine for people to not want to take him seriously in any other facet of his life

Anyway, we should all calm down. Everyone watch this video and we can get back to making fun of Kevin Durant

AggressivelyStupid posted:

LeBron did say that, genius

and THEN he said: "He's a hater... What makes what he says credible? Because he's on TV?... I'm not going to let him disrespect my legacy like that. I'm not the one who threw somebody through a window. I never spit on a kid. I never had unpaid debt in Las Vegas. I never said, 'I'm not a role model.' I never showed up to All-Star Weekend on Sunday because I was in Vegas all weekend partying. All I've done for my entire career is represent the NBA the right way. Fourteen years, never got in trouble. Respected the game. Print that."

That's a bitchmade, holier than thou, getting personal for no reason, sucking your own dick, 100% why people hate Lebron set of comments right there.

That's fine but if there's no bridging the gap then you have to realize that you're never going to change anyone's opinions ever who already don't hold yours. You also hold an opinion that's extremely hard to convince the other side to believe. By saying gently caress you to everyone who disagrees with you means that you're just pushing those people towards guys like Chuck, who again I don't even think is nearly as bad with racism as you're making it out to be.

Sorry Doltos there is no gap worth bridging between having equal rights, hey stop using unnessecary against these unarmed black people, and Barkley's "no really it's totes okay to profile people because black on black crime."

Nah I think he's on to something. It's Dexo's job to convince racists that they're wrong but he can only do so by being nice to them. If he yells at them for being awful, he's actually contributing to the problem. Hmmmm yes.

An uncle of mine lives in Ohio (Medina?) and straight up thinks that Lebron is the greatest humanitarian/person in living memory.

E: was Lebron's last off-court controversy when his mom got that new car before he was drafted?

So what you are telling me is you can't make a good counter argument to "Famous black person treating racial discrimination as no big deal, is a bad thing" So you are making a :smug: statement and disappearing again?
