re: Greg Popovich: "We live in a racist country that hasn't figured it out yet."

I understand what he's saying, and yes we have racists in this country, and that's unfortunate. But that doesn't make the US a "racist country" as a whole.

In the entire history of fricking civilization, there has not been a country (a global superpower at that) that has done as abrupt and thorough a 180 on race relations as the USA. Does that mean that we've reached nirvana and there are never any racial issues ever? Of course not. But in the entirety of human history, there has never been a better time to be a minority than being a minority in the USA in 2018. Never. Ever. And it ain't even close.

So tired of people like him trotting out 1960s era rhetoric to attempt to paint the problems of today in the same light. It's disingenuous, deceptive, and divisive.

The USA in 2018 is not a racist country. Nor has it been for longer than I've been alive, tbqh. It's a slap in the face to those who actually fought for real civil rights to intimate otherwise.

What needs to be done?

I wish I knew. Obviously it can start with just being kinder to each person you meet, but it's hard to believe that will just happen overnight. I think one of the biggest things is interacting with all types of different people and learning why they're the way they are. A lot of people (regardless of race) tend to generalize without getting to actually know someone, and even if that person fits the generalization they're written off without understanding why that person is the way they are.

Does this mean I'd have to be nicer to ohio people?

Pops best coaching days are behind him but he’s still #staywoke. Upmost respect for Gregg.

So we're a racist country even though we not only elected but reelected a black dude with a Muslim sounding name as POTUS?
Poor guy is just dripping with white guilt.

Here's some attention, Pinata, so you don't have to post the same shite a third time on the same page in hopes of getting a bite.

Good Lord, son

Since when did people start conflating diversity with non-white?

This is a legit question. Diversity has become synonymous with few to no white people.

You worry about choke city, I'll worry about my squad, Pinata

Morey disprespected the spurs in front the whole country and said we are worried about beating GSW. We ain’t worried one iota about spurs.

AND not a damn thing pop can do about it. Pop knows that. That’s why he move on to politics.
