You can't use the same descriptor reversed in this situation, therefore it's not equality. If Luka calls Monretzl a bitch ass black boy, he's the headline of sports pages and the NBA comes down on him.


Becuase it's not 6 months ago, the country, and some parts of the world, have changed and the NBA wants to be at the forefront of that. Welcome to 2020 and pc/cancel culture.

6 months ago you could buy syrup with Aunt Jemima's logo or rice with Uncle Ben's logo. It was only 60 years ago that black and white people were still segregated. It has to happen in small forward steps, whether it upsets the status quo or not. The kind of trash talk that you are referring to became prevalent because it was allowed to be, regardless if it's right or wrong.

Go look up the word equality. If it isn't applied the same to all, it all falls down and cooperation with the movement deteriorates. That's the key here in case you haven't been paying attention. Cooperation from all races in this movement is what has made it so impactful compared to times before.

I don't believe Montrezl was trying to be racist, but it did need to be called out. Stamping out people saying things in sports like 'he's good for a white/black player' etc, is a key step in this movement, that's what people seem to want. Personally I don't really care about it, it doesn't register with me, I'm just telling you why people reacted or thought the way they did.

Ah so Harrell apologizes and everything is a ok!!

Im sure Luka can just say the same and the simply apologize too...right?

Again I would refer to the correct logic and definition of waht racism is

If Luka said Black man, or Black fuck, or Black mother fucker, or whatever. If he is just using that term to identify the person as it being a common distinguishing trait in the moment, then no it is not racist

If there is prejudicial intentions behind the descriptive word then the person says it, then yes that would be classified as racism as there is prejudice towards a race typically the simple implication that the other is inferior.

I do not think they truly mean those prejudicial intentions and I know that calling someone a fact, like a black person black, or a white person, white, is not racist at all.

Either way they are in a very intense competition that is emotionally charged and it is only natural for these moments to happen as Sport and competitiveness induces these kinds of emotions in humans.

Of course I have played Baseball at the Canadians level and it is very intense in these situations you absolutely hate your competition it doesnt matter if they just saved your sister. They are the enemy and I will not stop until death. This is part of championship mamba mentality.




I think its ridiculous to bring this up when Shaq Kenny and Chuck say White boy in passing all the damn time. Why is it an issue now?

I membah like 6 months ago when the football mans were talkin about how 'that white boy can play' and nobody batted an eye. Who gives a shit wahts wrong with calling a white person white lol
