And I'm a white dude...I will NEVER know what racism is. And I seldom call it.
That said, if you asked me..out of my admitted ignorance...
The crowd cheering for Kevin Durant going down.
Because you KNOW if that was a white guy...Larry Bird or Jokic....NOBODY would be cheering. We're talking about an elite athlete, a one-in-50-million generational type player tearing his achilles.
The fact that NO canadian has EVER expressed any concern for that guy tells me all I need to know about canadiens and race relations. I have not heard ONE canadien give a s about it, or the klay acl, at all. Instead, it's "oh, you had injuries so what, so did the Cavs" or "we were better the whole time".
Lowry IMMEDIATELY told the crowd to settle down. And I think Kawhi saw it, and I think there is 0 chance Kawhi signs with the Raptors. But, I could be wrong.

Stu he was hosting U.S. President Barack Obama at Game 2 of the NBA Finals everybody watched that game! I don't buy their excuse!!
Nobody cares... Trust me, in the USA, NOBODY cares about the Raptors winning the title. And I'd be willing to put ca$h on Kawhi leaving Canada. He saw the Canadians cheering after Durant tore his achilles...sickening display of sportsmanship. And like I said in the other thread, I have yet to hear ONE canadian give a rat's *ss about it.
It's a major story in Canada you Salty Dubs fan
You guys are ridiculous. Go celebrate a win against a crippled team.
I recall Warriors winning a title vs a Cavs team without Love and Irving due to injuries...yet no one ever apologized for the bad luck Cleveland had with those 2 injuries...did the media ever make that excuse as part of their storyline? Nope...rarely ever mentioned how they beat a team with Lebron and no one else...it literally was 5 vs 1.
They did at first. It fades though just as it will fade with Toronto

I heard he wasn't wearing his credential, but he did have it with him. Have not heard final word... Might want to keep an eye out if you're black and are at a BART station. Just sayin'.....
Might want to keep an eye out if you're any race at a BART station. I've been riding BART by myself since like the 5th grade. (Anybody really from the bay remembers red tickets) You have more to fear from crazy individuals than BART police, who are completely seperate from Alameda County Sheriffs.

Dubs investor was not involved in that Lowry incident and had no business doing what he did - he was not crashed into. The reason for the suspension is purely optics and Silver knows it...white owner publicly displays his control and dominance over a black player...the USA will never be able to outrun their history of slavery and thats why this incident got resolved within less than 24hrs. Essentially the same thing with that Utah fan with Westbrook...optics...in a league where black players are the vast majority, the league will always be in a tough spot when things like this happens. Ujiri and that white old fat out of shape cop will have the truth come out and the video will speak for itself what happened...reports say the cop instigated a physcial confrontation before there was any attept to verbally diffuse the situation. https://youtu.be/DG1c9-pr_3U

Race, Race, Race..... none of this is about race. The Lowry incident was about knocking the rich down a peg. Letting them know that money doesn't make you above the law/rules. And if you're going to associate with the NBA, even in a minscule way, you have to conduct yourself accordingly. Suspension would've been the same if it was Gasol, though I doubt he hits Gasol. He doesn't want that smoke.
The KD thing was about a longtime loser of a city. This series brought out the worst in Toronto. Threatening Steph's wife. Harassing his parents. Cheering for an injury. It was a gut reaction and it would've happened regardless of race. Jokic. Bird whomever else yoi named. And when the crowd realized what they had cheered, and Lowry and Ibaka settled them, they begin to cheer for him.

As a black man, i'd take Canadian "racism" over the U.S. variety any day. I'm a proud American and I don't tend to ppay the race card but we are the most racist first-world country on the planet. Us trying to pin racism on the fans in another country is completely asinine. They still yell racial slurs at Fenway and they have black players. One of their stars is nicknamed Mookie, for Christ's sake.

Try going to Eastern Europe...you wouldn't like it there.
Best thing about the old days...racism was overt. Now, nobody knows what anyone's thinking.
I don't think a home player instructing a crowd to cheer for a guy who got an achilles tear counts...I'm guessing if Klay Thompson asked the crowd to stop cheering, they wouldn't have listened. Blind to what happened-a legendary player just lost the prime of his career.

I'm not blind and i'm not absolviing the fans. I'm simply saying it wasn't racially based. And if we cry racism when it isn't warranted, we lose sympathy when we cry racism when it is. The crowd's reaction was horrible but it wasn't racially based.

And you think the best thing about the old days was overt racism. Maybe it's because i'm the child of a poker player but I still tend to know what people are thinking.

Might want to keep an eye out if you're any race at a BART station. I've been riding BART by myself since like the 5th grade. (Anybody really from the bay remembers red tickets) You have more to fear from crazy individuals than BART police, who are completely seperate from Alameda County Sheriffs.
Lived in the Bay for 30 years, rode BART for 20..........Police....Sheriffs.......BART police......all SO different, because they got guns, and you don't........trust me, nobody riding from Pleasanton is getting off in West Oakland. Or Fruitvale, for that matter. Getting back to the point, any news on him being credentialed or not?

Dude, i'm from West Oakland. Super gentrified now. It's still West Oakland so shyt still goes down but you have white people everywhere now. Families. Chicks walking dogs. Peeps on bikes. And it's like 7 bucks to park at West Oakland BART now. Last stop before SF. White people didn't come to West Oakland when I was a kid. And Fruitvale was all Mexicans. The side by the Bart Station atleast. Still mostly hispanic but it's getting gentrified too.

I'll keep an eye out for whitey coming out of Esthers Orbit Room by the BART station. And when Octavio Grant gets killed at Fruitvale, I'll nod my head....

Dude, you'd be shocked. Whitey is all through West Oakland. And not just Dogtown by Emeryville. Everywhere. The Corns. The Bottoms. Ghosttown. All around 2-4. All of West Oakland is crazy gentrified. It's still the West so it's not all honky dorey but still. When I was growing up, there were zero white people. At Martin Luther King Jr Elemetary, which is K-3, there weren't even white teachers. I didn't have a white teacher until the 5th grade. Shout out to Cole Elementary. Same elementary school as the great Jack London.

Multiculturalism only happens when a culture is open to or has integrated into other societal cultures to coexist but when you have an incompetent idiot leading our country and inviting illegal migrants into Canada then I've got a major problem with it!
