Social Sacramento Kings Broadcaster Suspended for Answering Question about BLM with "All Lives Matter"

[PHATV]

Yea he deserves it, he has apparently said racist things before and this further proved it

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

He said someone who was proven to be openly racist wasnt racist because he hired blacks. He probably should have been fired back then but he is a nobody. He just fucked around with a popular player this time and got caught up in his trolling. Bye bye

Right, but Orwell defined fascism much more strictly than today's left does. I don't think he'd see fascism in most of the places we complain about it today, whether left or right.

Orwell with his opinions would probably be deemed a secretly Trump-loving dark web alt-right enabler these days, by some of the most vehement and easily outraged left-wingers. He criticized his "own" as much as he criticized the rest. He didn't really give anybody an easy time. Some of his most stinging criticisms were against Communists and air-headed left-wing "intellectuals". Obviously, Nazis and right-wingers received their share, too.

It seemed that one of his base beliefs was to be able to see through one's own bullshit as much as anybody else's. He didn't have much time for the people who didn't.

 

[Wet Blanket]

and still no answer.

Because the only people that have "white pride" events are racist losers.

No one complains about St Patrick's Day, Rovvie Burns Day, Ukrainian Xmas, and all the Christian holidays everyone celebrates etc...

Black Pride is necessary because they are a marginalized part of North America still being affected by systemic racism.

We learned white history in school in here and you're probably offended that there is a Black History month as well.

Yeah, that's why I'm a HUGE fan of his.

No, it isn't. Saying all lives matter is not tantamount to saying that black lives don't matter. It is rallying around a positive affirmation, which extends to black lives, that all lives matters. It achieves this while simultaneously signaling repudiation of the claims, policy proposals, and/or rhetoric of the black lives matter movement.







I want all of you to be clear. You all are issuing rhetoric in this thread that appears to defend or justify this action.

To each and every one of you-- do you support this man's suspension? Do you support firing him?

If not, then can you bring yourselves to acknowledge this is wrong, and condemn it?

I am certain that when people use "All lives matter!" as a retort, they are trying to counter the original statement. All lives SHOULD matter.

Haven't watched the video, don't know the guys history, don't really care about him getting fired. If you say something that your employer doesn't like, you are fired. That's spokesperson life for you. Hell, it's even true for for us regular folks now... if I go run my mouth on facebook my company can fire me.

 

[BarryDillon]

Good. Fuck that guy's white supremacist signaling.

Yea i dont get thr outrage here. If a black employee came up to you right now and said hey Chad what do you think about the BLM protests going on and you said ALL LIVES MATTER, you're getting fired

 

[Wet Blanket]

And if he meant anything different by it I am sure he would have apologized and explained what he meant.

He already tried to apologize and resigned, but again he has history pushing the line . He said donald sterling wasnt racist (nba owner who was outed for saying racist shit on recorded conversations) because he hired blacks

 

[Orgasmo]

Welcome to America 2020. It was a good run while it lasted.

Don't be sad. You had a 150 years reign as the world's most prosperous nation.

 

[SBJJ]

Here is my take.

Fuck the organization of BLM. They are about as helpful to the black community as the KKK.

NO LIVES MATTER unless cable news deems them so.

 

[regmma123]

All lives matter is code for black lives dont

 

[SBJJ]

All lives matter is code for black lives dont

Who told you that? White people on MSNBC?

 

[Final Say]

Okay, this is what I expected, and what I wanted. This is your opinion. You explicitly assert it isn't wrong.

Thus, you defend suspending/firing a person for tweeting this:


Okay, two down. Six more I quoted to go.

We're going to find out who the real bullies are in the forum, today.

Wait... what? How am I a bully? I think he should be suspended to find out if his words and actions are racially motivated and potentially racists. I think it’s especially hard for an NBA broadcast to employ a racist.

Do you really have a problem with that?

Mick, they are just going to attack you for making sense, whats the point? They obviously are extremely brainwashed

I enjoy that there are a lot of like-minded people from my area, that's pretty reassuring especially with the political climate on here

Are you guys trolling? Or are you seriously discounting that this man may be a racist?

If multiple players who have come into contact with him throughout the years think he’s a racist and he makes a political statement like this on Twitter, it’s worth investigating. Are you willfully or woefully ignorant? I’m genuinely curious.

 

[PHATV]

Also, who the fuck is Seth Rogan? Serious here.

 

[Madmick]

Yes. All live matters is the go to response from white nationalists and racist cops.

Napear also: He previously generated criticism when he suggested disgraced former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling could not be considered racist because he employed black people.

Dude is a dumbass, tone deaf and deserves what he got with the current situation. Players are more important than a non name broadcaster who generates zero revenue for the team

Good. Fuck that guy's white supremacist signaling.

Both of you are are unequivocally asserting that to say "all lives matter" is white supremacy or white nationalism.

This is a hashtag that has tens of millions of tweets. There are no links to white supremacist or white nationalist groups. It is delusional, hateful, and dangerous to cast allegations this incendiary based on a total lack of evidence. The real reason is that these people probably disagree with the political agenda and policy platform of BLM, an agenda you support, and so you recklessly slander them with this spiteful, binary prejudice.

It's bigoted. The two of your are bigots.

He said someone who was proven to be openly racist wasnt racist because he hired blacks. He probably should have been fired back then but he is a nobody. He just fucked around with a popular player this time and got caught up in his trolling. Bye bye

Nobody has produced a single racist comment by this man, ever.

I work for a fortune 500 company. You don't really think someone would get fired in that instance, right? And you don't think they should, right?
Is that out of context or something in his quote?
