The nets should hire a old white guy in a 3 piece suit to call him “boy” every night to get the 2000 Olympic version of Vince back! Angry Vince is the Best Vince!

Boy?

I would call VC a baby. That fucked up whiner once again proved that he is nothing but, well, a fucked up whiner.

Imagine the venom that cats like Kobe and Bron are getting from fans of the opposing team, you’ll definitely hear an insult or two that borders on being racist, but do you hear these guys whining? No.

Fuck Carter.

I somewhat can understand him getting upset. I absolutely hate when someone calls me a boy. It’s like B*tch imma grown ass man. But he still went a overboard. I mean your making a hell of a lot of money. Calm down dude. But someone calling me “boy” or telling me to “shut up” just rubs me the wrong way. I’m not making anywhere near the amount of money he’s making..so I’m angry anyway. lol

As a Raptor fan I will always hate VC. He is a baby and always will be.
Freaking out about being called “boy” from another black man is just well… stupid.
Vince is the kind of player that would pull a stunt to take the night off. Hell he admitted to doggin’ it at the end of his time in Toronto.
All the talent in the world with zero heart. Too bad really. Could have been one of the best. Now he’s just another good player in a league full of good players. The great ones win and don’t pull BS moves to hurt their teams. Stafford having to apologize is just another example of VC’s bitch ass ego.

I’ll bet you Mr. A that you didn’t try to find out why I introduced those names in the post. I’ll bet you don’t understand the word nihilism, especially in regard to Blacks. Read Cornell West to better understand what I am saying about nihilism. You are really the average white guy trying to make a case for not actually looking at the depth at which slavery affected Black people and this country.

Once again, back to hoops.

it’s like mommy just hit daddy at the dinner table and we’re all still trying to eat our peas…

but seriously mr.a, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how privilege and oppression exist everyday and all around you.
the only way to not be racist as a white person- greek, italian, american or otherwise- is to be actively anti-racist, and this means fighting the cycles of privilege and oppression. so while you say above that you hate racism, it certainly sounds like you love the privilege instilled to you solely by the color of your skin.

if you really are self-motivated and want to hear someone much smarter than me discuss this, read a book called “white like me”

finally, comments 18, 20, 22 were great

In my experience, there have been more racist black people I’ve encountered than there have been racist white people. Look at the polls that were taken after the election. They interviewed black Americans who voted for Obama, gave them John McCain’s political rhetoric and told them that Obama said it, and they LIKED it. Some 80% of black American’s who voted for Obama, we are led to believe from this study, voted for him solely because he’s black. Talk about racism.

That’s all I’m saying, man. You can’t shirk responsibility and just blame it on white America for hating black people. Black people hold, in my opinion, more hatred for white people than white people do for them! Why? Because of something that happened 200 years ago that nobody alive today was involved in! Hell, my parents both came to America from Greece shortly before I was born. I’m the first one in my family to be born in America, none of my ancestors would have even had the opportunity to own a black slave, yet I still get clumped into a group with everybody else!

MOVE ON ALREADY. We’re sorry it happened. Huge mistake. I’m sure every African tribe is also sorry for the “black-on-black” slavery that decimated the entire continent! More blacks were enslaved in Africa than anywhere else in the world! The most of the entire continent is centuries behind the rest of the world! And yet black AMERICANS complain about their trials and tribulations – IT COULD BE A LOT WORSE – COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.

Racism bothers me in all forms, and I see it majorly from black Americans to their white BRETHREN.
