Republican lawmaker under fire for ‘racist’ NBA tweet

[L.K.Eder]

I think his comment was stupid, not necessarily racist.

"Let's be honest, 70% of teams in NBA could fold tomorrow + nobody would notice a difference w/ possible exception of increase in streetcrime"

stupid AND racist, textbook definition,

holds the view that NBA players will turn to streetcrime when no longer able to play in NBA. most NBA players are black.

you are a moron if you cannot recognize that.

Must be why he voted in favor of gay marriage.

oh look, asperger boy tries to deflect. go **** yourself.

You are a moron if you jump to conclusions. Maybe he feels there are a lot of criminals in the NBA because of all the arrests, and not because the majority of the players are black. The tweet was an indictment on the NBA, could have been racist, obviously, but I'm not going to automatically assume it is, because that's not what I do.

Ok, what was he getting at?

he thought that dirk nowitzki was going to rob a bodega in ft. worth.

Why, yes they are, I was only trying to stay within the bounds of the NBA as the OP stated!

The point is he shouldn't have singled out the NBA when the NFL has many more felons. And if you read the article cited in the OP, someone bought that up to the state rep, which he then responded was a fair point.

Is that the point, or is point that you misrepresented his Tweet?

How did I misrepresent his tweet?

report me for trolling. then, maybe you will prevent me from calling you out on your stupid interpretations of the tweet.

i posted the tweet, in my opinion there is no plausible deniability.

you want to be a retard about it, which no doubt comes naturally, but i won't let you get away with it. now whine some more.

What a PUSS you are Eder.

 

[kidrocks]

Can it be racist if it's true? If I see the NBA on, I find another channel.

That's ok because most racists hate the NBA anyways. Just a fact Jack so don't pull the race-card on me... ok?

Stupid and ignorant comment, not sure why he would make such an arrogant comment, but acknowledging that the NBA has a thug problem isn't racist. I didn't see him refer to any specific race or infer it either!

Probably just a Freudian-slip. Conservatives are good for that.

Just don't see the point of guys with an 11 foot reach putting a ball in a 10 foot basket. If that's racist, so be it.

 

[Toro]

I think that the tweet could be interpreted either way. At first glance, I didn't think it was racist. I was looking for more.

I think it depends on what this guy's history has been.

This is the problem with America right here. Unwillingness to say what it means

 

[Stephanie]

wow, is Pmsnbc pathetic? now their scouring TWEETS to stir up hate and crap

This so frikken shallow

 

[Katzndogz]

Saying that criminals are criminals is only racist if the criminals are black.

The hate would still be there even if NBC said nothing about it. How are you more upset at the messenger than the message?
