Lmao no he's not right.

People are gonna be racist whether they hear some black dude say nigga or not.

It doesn't reinforce poo poo, white racist motherfuckers are gonna use that loving word whether it's in Pooh Shiesty's latest song or not.

If you don't want that term to be used around you or in reference to you, fine sure I respect it I know plenty of old heads who don't like it so out of respect I try not to use it around them

But loving lmao at literally making the argument that it falls on Black people to make white people less racist or make piece of poo poo cops not kill niggas and skate by not saying nigga of all loving things.


It's ascribing a power to a word that the word almost definitely does not have.

The cop that pulled a gun on me for going 9 over the speed limit on 55 didn't call me a friend of the family or no poo poo like that. No he just decided he wanted to pull a gun on a black dude that day and by the grace of god nothing I did caused that dude to pull the trigger.

Yeah that’s a good point and lord knows I use some awful terms to refer certain Jews…coughJaredandIvankacough…although it’s weird in the sense that it’s not tied to skin color, people don’t know automatically a lot of times if I’m the reincarnation of a Nazi or a person in a community commenting on another member of the community.

Honestly I prefer a world where Kyrie is still a galaxy brain moron anyway.

Also rap music would be really really weird if it happened.

Most importantly I accidentally hit post thinking it was something else I wrote when after thinking it over I realized Kyrie is an idiot and it wouldn’t change anything.

Also FWIW I hate people with disabilities trying to reclaim the word retarded but that's mostly because it's turned into people with ADHD (allegedly) throwing that poo poo around like it's going out of style and saying they're "allowed to" when called on it when the truth is they'd pass as totally able bodied 99.95% of the time.

It'd be the equivalent of someone like Donald Trump finding out he's 1/128th black and slinging around the n-word all the time afterwards.

Black people can reclaim whatever the gently caress they want.

Haha man had the worst owning at COD ever.

Also to close the loop in the article, it was a case of thinking in the abstract, huh maybe this would be good…and then realizing yeah no this won’t change anything and about variations of it that I use (not the word obviously, but the concept) referring to people in my own religious group. So yeah I’m sorry about that.

More so I also apologize for thinking even for a second…that Kyrie isn’t a moron with dumb takes.

One of the announcers for Mavs/Griz last night was livid when the topic of the play-in came up and the other announcer said “man you know I bet this year’s Wizards team could win 2 in a row if Westbrook went off twice”

He's fine, the Bulls still need to find in FA or trade or something some PG or lead ball initiator.

Which is their major problem, Zach is a good scorer, but has only moved from Abysmal playmaker to not trash. He's seeing the floor slightly better but he should still be playing off ball more than he is.

And without a decent passer it's hard to set Vooch up.

Also their defense is absolute trash, especially once they have to start playing Lauri and Coby.


Lauri and Coby are two players that if they aren't shooting lights out from 3 they serve no purpose.


Negative defenders, no assists, no rim pressure no free throw drawing ability.

It'll be interesting to see how he looks with good PG play if that ever happens, it was a huge problem in Orlando too. He hasn't really played with a good point since Jameer Nelson in '13-'14

His recent shooting uptick probably changes things a bit but otherwise he's just always looked like the classic 20-10 bad D big man that gets paid but just plays for bad teams forever

Carter has been pretty good since the trade but even if the players aren't necessarily a huge deal they gave away a couple picks that could wind up being pretty good and hampered their ability to make future trades so it's still kind of a big deal if the trade hasn't done anything to make them materially better or fix the actual problems with the team.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The expansion draft this time around will be interesting because there are guys who wouldn't be available in past expansion drafts because of their contracts. If they did it this offseason Supersonics 2.0 starting lineup would be like Wall/Russ/Wiggins/Love/Horford

I think wolves fans definitely thought they were gonna be something around when they made the butler trade and all they got out of it was getting smoked in the first round once and then immediately going back into the dumpster forever. And wasting KAT seems worse than anything the bulls have done
