2563871, Logic dictates that every black athlete standing during anthem is a coon
Posted by Basaglia, Fri Sep-09-16 01:35 PM

Dumb niggas have gotten what they wanted.
2563873, Are people really saying that?
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Fri Sep-09-16 02:00 PM
I just think other athletes that go all in and come out against Kaep are kinda questionable.

Let him cook. He's not bothering nobody. It's not against the rules.

That's it.
2563874, Ba just mad Cam can't stop sayin dumb shit
Posted by bshelly, Fri Sep-09-16 02:09 PM
that's all this is.
2563877, more accurately: I'm mad dumb niggas mad he won't be black FOR them
Posted by Basaglia, Fri Sep-09-16 02:25 PM

All I saw was niggas on Twitter acting like he deserved blows to the head last night and suggested it was cause he wouldn't protest like Kaep. As for the "dumb" shit he said...matter of opinion, but partying because he was possibly concussed...aight, a tone has been set.

Gloves off. Every nigga who stands for the anthem and gets fucked up this year? Party time for me. Watch how salty niggas act.
2563880, Well yeah, that's ridiculous. But you're acting like dudes...
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Fri Sep-09-16 02:44 PM
on Twitter are reasonable.

As a collective they're ridiculous people spouting off dumb shit 140 characters at a time.

I didn't see any of that. I don't read most of my timeline though.

I was concerned for Cam, no matter how much dumb shit he says. He's always said dumb shit though. And that's why I dig him. He's like a caricature of a ridiculous athlete.

He's like Damon Wayans is The Last Boy Scout without the coke problem.

His Carmelo stance is pretty unforgivable, though.

You can't be a hoop head and love Latin American athletes
and not love Carmelo. He's the best Latino to ever lace
them up. And he's a leader.

But he's goofy and says coon shit.

Somehow, Black America think he's a "realer nigga"
than Russ.

Bullshit.

Russ is a more thorough, strong, progresive black man
in every conceivable way.

The bar for black athletes speaking coherently about politics is WAY higher than it is for white guys. Cam's a big dude having fun and living life as a millionaire 20-something. He should pull a Jordan and avoid political questions. Honestly, nobody really cares what he thinks, they just want to hear him say what they already believe.
2563923, i WISH he would say "no comment" on this shit. he'll learn.

what von miller think? his ass was standing.

what jameis talmbout? does his country ass have a nuanced take on all this?

2563903, I'm always torn on reaction to Twitter
Posted by SoulHonky, Fri Sep-09-16 04:23 PM
On one hand, it is a way to see what many people are thinking. On the other, that "many people" likely represent a vocal minority of idiots and not what most people are thinking.

Either way, if even 1000 people on a site with 60 million users spout some nonsense, I don't think we should say "Well, TWITTER said this so...."

Twitter has definitely lowered the bar for how many people have to say some dumb shit before it gets picked up by the media as a widespread idea.
2563947, nope...it's was consensus on "black twitter"
Posted by Basaglia, Fri Sep-09-16 07:51 PM
it was a party. the "coon" got fucked up and they partied off it.

People were stupid for partying on Twitter, but that's Twitter assholes. Mainstream opinion has been that it was totally fucked up the way the refs let Cam get fucked up.

So you're just mad.
2563980, already said i was mad. but let's go over it again.
Posted by Basaglia, Sat Sep-10-16 08:27 AM
>http://www.si.com/nfl/2016/08/15/carolina-panthers-cam-newton-gq-interview

i read the interview. been over it. he was speaking about race within the context of him being a black QB.

he was not talking about police brutality.

he was not talking about housing discrimination.

he was not talking about affirmative action. h

he was not talking about voter suppression.

he was asked about criticism he receives as a black QB and to any CALM, DEDUCTIVE, RATIONAL, OBJECTIVE, UNEMOTIONAL, NOT-LOOKING-FOR-OUTRAGE FODDER person, his answer had everything to do with what he was asked.

<<<Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton doesn't believe race is a factor in the criticism he receives, he told GQ.

"It's not racism," Newton, who is African-American, told GQ for a feature in the magazine's September issue. "Everybody's entitled to their own opinion. I don't want this to be about race, because it's not. It's not. Like, we're beyond that. As a nation.">>>

Do you know how petty and agenda-driven you have to be take that response and make it "racism doesn't exist"?

Like, do you understand that him believing the criticism he gets isn't race-based does not EXTEND into very real racist shit black people are facing?

Groupthink is some powerful shit, dogg. I have trained myself to be skeptical of every bit of outrage I see on social media, because, sadly, I've found most of it to be purposely misleading or happily misinformed.
2563888, that's not how logic works, fyi

lol....
2563927, LOL. Quiet as kept...niggas still scared of Jim Brown
Posted by Basaglia, Fri Sep-09-16 06:08 PM
JIM BROWN said this, not Cam Newton...

"And the No. 1 issue in the country for me is black homicide, young black men killing young black men," Brown said.


JIM BROWN said he wouldn't have protested the way Kap has...

"I don't know what the big issue is, because this young man in backing up his statement, becomes stronger in my mind," Brown said. "Now if you ask me 'Would I do that?' No I won't, because I see it a little differently.

"I'm an American citizen. I pay my taxes. I want my equal rights. But this is my country, and consequently I don't want to open up for ISIS or anybody that will take away what we've already gained."

Have you read any of these "woke" niggas on this board or on twitter talking that coon shit about Jim? No, because dumb talkitty talk niggas are scared of REAL niggas. that's why niggas don't march up and down the block protesting drug dealers, because they know they'd get shot in the fucking face on sight, slowing business down and shit with your antics.

He's a terrible person, right?
2563973, I explained why. Why you compare a 26 year-old to an 80 yo?
Posted by Basaglia, Sat Sep-10-16 07:01 AM

You act like Jim wasn't busy doing stupid COON shit well into his 60s.

Woman beating.
Road rage incidents.
Beating up golfing buddies.
Rape allegations.
Fucking up a woman's car cuz his feeling was hurt...like a bitch.

Given Cam's ability to stay the fuck outta jail and help kids at such a young age, I have total faith that he'll be helping make the world better after he's done playing.

Y'all niggas minds are warped because you value thumbing your noses at white people, who really do not give a fuck one way or another, above COMMON GODDAMN SENSE.

So, continue to cyse these silly anti-hero niggas and keep shitting on dudes who got their shit together.

Funny you prop up Russ like these same idiots wasn't calling him a coon a couple of years ago. Like these same idiots didn't manufacture the same stale, lame ass Real Nigga vs. Coon issue between him and Marshawn when they lost that Super Bowl.


2563987, Haha. YOU USED a Jim Brown quote, nigga. I EXPLAINED IT.
Posted by Orbit_Established, Sat Sep-10-16 09:50 AM

I explained the CONTEXT of THAT QUOTE. I'm not DEFENDING
Jim Brown. I'm saying you LIFTED A QUOTE with no context.

Jim Brown saying "black on black violence is the worst" is
not an "All Lives Matter." It's coming from a nigga who
had dinner with gang members.

You don't even know what YOU are defending.

I AM IN HERE defending all y'all GOOFY NIGGAS who ride
for Cam but NEVER EVER EVER EVER DEFENDED Russell Wilson
when HIS BLACKNESS been question FOREVER.

Y'all got to explain THAT shit.

Cam thinks "WE ARE PAST RACE."

Russell Wilson OPENLY AND INTELLIGENTLY TALKS ABOUT RACISM.

FESS IT UP.
2563991, jim brown spoke on kaep's said and disagreed with his tactics
Posted by Basaglia, Sat Sep-10-16 10:20 AM

niggas have called everyone who has DISAGREED with kaep's form of protest a coon, EXCEPT jim brown.

you EXPLAINED it's because jim facilitated gang truces...i guess. right?

and i'm EXPLAINING that's bullshit. iverson ain't helped no gang members and he all lives mattered it up and nobody ain't throw an outrage party...because "real niggas" would verbally shit on anyone who dared. stephen a wouldn't dare say no shit about AI being a "coward" because he wasn't being black enough FOR him. if he did, AI would fry his ass to the point of ruining his career.

plus sweeping general statements on your character coming from members of your own race who don't even know you, based on their own judgments because you're supposed to somehow represent an entire race of people rather than your individual self or at most your family/friends, while also dealing with the toxic bullshit and bona fide dangers of just trying to exist let alone thrive in the white power structure of AmeriKKKa.

I thought cam sounded very human when he talked about his family. Were I in his shoes, I could see how fear that my words would lead to harm for my family would cause me to say less than I want, and I found his expression of that sentiment resonated with me.
2566078, Serious question: What is Carmelo up to right now?
Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Wed Sep-21-16 10:13 PM
I mean, after saying this:

“NO more sitting back and being afraid of tackling and addressing political issues anymore,” he wrote. “Those days are long gone. We have to step up and take charge. We can’t worry about what endorsements we gonna lose or whose going to look at us crazy. I need your voices to be heard. We can demand change. We just have to be willing to. THE TIME IS NOW. IM all in. Take Charge. Take Action. DEMAND CHANGE.”


What's up with the radio silence? He's all on Twitter/Instagram, but not saying a word about anything.
Meanwhile, we got professional athletes really taking his charge to heart and risking their endorsements and having people look at them crazy.
