I need ZERO Black players saying shit about this in defense of him. There is no neutrality. He was out there during a pivotal moment in history. He either leans in or he pushes back. Based on how he's run his business, one would say he's leaned in. To be there as a teenager while kids are just trying to go to school yet to be insensitive to racial trauma over police shows NO LEARNING.
He's in no trouble whatsoever and will deal with no repercussions. This is just interesting noise.
At least we finally have one of the whites photographed in the racist black and white scenes be identified.

in Arkansas wasn't involved in some racial shit its not like he was in a kkk uniform just a kid looking on if he was one of the guys in front actually confronting the kids I feel like it would be a lot more problematic
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

..Jones literally stood on the wrong side of history.
His response to the photo and its current rounds in the media suggest that he didn't understand the ramifications of his actions then OR now. The Shield will never go against Jones. They have no grounds to sanction him in any way.

Based on his recent perception in regards to players kneeling and Colin Kap, he is still that same man today. It wasn’t just a situation of him being immature and not understanding the height of the matter.
Also, Jerry Jones has never hired a African American head coach, and now that we know that he opposed racial integration, that isn’t coincidental.

another reason why the media is so trash.
as someone else said, his football coach TOLD players to stay away (which actually reflects not too badly on the coach since he rathered them not be involved than to be part of the fuckery) because they knew something big was happening. the whole damn TOWN knew what was happening. he was fortunate enough to not be seen acting, but he didn't just drift there by happenstance.
guess the other plantation owners are checking their old portrait albums to see what they were pictured doing. you can almost guarantee Bob McNair, whether pictured or not, partook in similar activities.
I seriously just wish Black people would SHUT THE FUCK UP and let white people answer for their goddamned selves. For serious that is the strongest feeling this whole situation gives me.

was interviewed today and he said he is still a Cowboys fan, like I said earlier you're not going the find many 80 y/o white men from the south without some racist shit in their background I don't know why some people are trying to act like this is such a shocking thing lol

what did Jerry say about this?
Football coach warned him not to be there.. and he went anyways.
Said no one knew what was going on.. the fuck does that mean?

I hope people have taken the time to read this multi-part series on coaching in the Washington Post.
His statement about coaching speaks volumes about the coaching situation in the NFL more so than the photo. He basically said he believes if people want a coaching job they will "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" and go get it. You know, that tired conservative trope.
He later said he hires coaches that he knows and feels comfortable with, not understanding the irony on how his upbringing could shape his views of NOT being comfortable with a POC in a leadership position.

always drives me wild to hear people act like you need to have all these things liked up perfectly for a position where most will lose more games than they win.

30. "He should probably just shut up and dribble, huh" In response to Reply # 28
Bron is hardly perfect and the China thing is a blemish he gets to wear forever. But is his decision to talk about this - amidst a whole lot of deafening silence - really something you can't get behind?

------------------- I wanna go to where the martyrs went the brown figures on the walls of my apart-a-ment...
If Kyrie ever decides to stop with the relentless dumbfuckery, I'll be a happy man. I stanned hard in the Cleveland days. But that's likely not happening.
Still think it's a little goofy to find something negative in Bron using his platform & power to speak on this particular matter. Especially as it's otherwise getting swept under the rug asap.
if he wanted to speak on it, he should just speak on it. Acting all high and mighty and condescending towards these writers is corny, if it was Robert Sarver or Donald Sterling, they would have (and Im pretty sure they did) ask him about it. They dont cover the NFL or the cowboys, so I dont understand what he's so miffed about.
Kyrie is an idiot anyway, he should be distancing himself from that guy, not coming to his defense

37. "I think there's enough context there with LeBron specifically" In response to Reply # 33
He was famously a frontrunning Cowboys fan like every other child of the '90s, and he also ghosted them after the Jerry stuff during the kneeling saga as he pointed out (somewhere else, though) when he started talking about this
I don't think the average beat writer would've thought to connect those dots but you'd think maybe ONE longtime follower of the guy would've thought about it. I get LeBron's thinking.

I love Bron for this, because these motherfuckers were out here trying to let shit walk like 60 years for a man who has moved as a plantation owner SINCE that incident is somehow "too long ago to judge."
Shannon started talking as soon as Bron did. Maybe he was waiting for him to say it to make his point that he told Skilpf.
