Kudos!!!

Does this mean that blacks killing other blacks by the thousands is ok?

What about all the children growing up in one parent households?

What about the facts that blacks commit crimes well above percentages of other groups?

It is America where we all have the right to choose what we do minute by minute, Thank God! I admire they are willing to risk everything for what they believe in, kinda like our founding fathers .

Maybe that's the problem, some think that they have the right to do what ever they want.

Great response. Thank you. Did we expect anything else from those who responded? Wonder what they see when they look in the mirror? If your not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

Heartbreaking that people are so willing to believe the propaganda. Propaganda is the most powerful tool of any government. It pits people against each other and demonizes people as well. Your assertion is not supported by the murder demographics published by the U.S. Dept. of Justice. What you are sharing is a narrative meant to divide. The same is true for single parent households. Breaks my heart that people are so willing to believe the worst of their fellow citizens in order to somehow justify cruelty on the part of officials. In this case cruelty on the part of law enforcement. What goes around comes around be careful....

Boycotting to show solidarity with the protests would be perfect.

It's hard to believe that in 2020, I have to read such a racist remark.

[Antique lady]

I meant that supporting the players by boycotting would show an understanding of their concerns and their support for the protesters.....

Yes!!!! Finally a voice of reason. They is also a WNBA player that this year gave up a year of their career (and their careers ar preciously short and they worked much harder for it than an average person). ....Gave up a year of her career to devote to the Black awareness community. I could NEVER have that much compassion for my fellow man. I salute HER! One in a million! She is a better person than myself or most everybody that I have met in TV Land. She is a Saint. And also, everyone knows that Lebron James is highly respected for his giving back to his community and many causes. He is a future leader and a possible Gov. of Ohio. Doc Rivers was right to cry as he said, "We have Loved America, why does not America LOVE us back?????

[louie34]

Amen!!!

I don't want to hear personal matters from a person that I'm paying high price money for a ticket to see them jump and dunk a ball....
They are paid professional basketball players not problem solvers.
Boycott the NBA for putting their business where it don't belong!

Thanks by the C. You got to the root of the problem. Riot burning and looting are the lagging indicator of these recent videos of Police interactions with Blacks. Where no Blacks needed or deserved to be killed. Europe has significantly better Police training.

Tamir Rice was 12 and was killed for having a fake toy gun.

Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, killed two people. Walked by police after killing two people. Got to go home and sleep.

This is why people PROTEST.
