re: Pat Bev to Michelle Roberts: "I pay your salary"

On the call, James was stern in calling on owners to do more in aiding the Black community and to play more of a role in using their resources to combat systemic racism, sources said.

So in typical Democrat fashion, it’s up to someone else to get something done. LeBron wasn’t in this meeting urging all of his fellow players to get out in the communities and make a difference. He’s strong arming the owners to throw money at a problem that can’t be fixed by throwing money at it. All of these “social programs” are just fronts for the organizers to steal money and/or give all of the money back to Democrat politicians. They don’t do a damn thing to help the Black community.

If the players we truly upset about what happened to Jacob Blake they would be spreading the word to their community to quit getting high on drugs, quit acting criminally to where the cops have to detain you, and most important, quit fighting with the cops when they arrive.

But instead you get gaslighting our of people like Doc Rivers. Doc has for years been told by his Black community that he really isn’t one of them. Doc hasn’t lived within the Black community since he was a high schooler. He made his NBA salary, moved into the rich, white neighborhoods, married a while woman, sent his kids to rich kid private schools while they continued their playing careers at places like Duke and Indiana. So now that Doc has all this guilt built up inside of him, he’s ready to show out for the Black community and he gives his little speech. Much like the mixer race Colin Kaepernick and Barack Obama decided to show how down they were with the a Black community, Doc took this as his time to gain acceptance from the hood.

Back to the original point, the players themselves, who identify themselves as part of a group that they are connected to only by their skin color, what other connection do they have with a Jacob Blake, need to work to promote change within their owns communities and not demand others change what they are doing in response to the lawlessness that Black community is displaying themselves.
