'The Arena': One Long Hour of Social Justice Agitation with Backdrop of Basketball
Newsbusters.org ^ | 7/21/2020 | Jay Maxson

Posted on 07/22/2020 9:41:14 AM PDT by rktman

TNT and Bleacher Report supplied the television platform Monday night, Jemele Hill, Killer Mike, Gregg Popovich and others provided the fireworks on The Arena, a forum for social justice agitation in a basketball setting. It was the first of five consecutive nights of this social justice extravaganza, which continues through Friday.

Killer Mike Render, a rapper and actor (seen in photo above), led off the show with a fiery video message. He said, in short, "Black people in this country have suffered enough. Racism in America will no longer be accepted or tolerated. Our heroes and ancestors have died fighting for social justice and equality, and we must carry on that fight. We are no longer enslaved. We are free and must make change now."

Render told black Americans to refuse to sit back and watch their community suffer from lack of resources, poverty and poor education. As members of this community, they will "not sit back and watch our mothers, fathers, sons and daughters be viciously murdered in the street by corrupt law enforcement or for jogging in a white neighborhood. We will not stand for this, whole world is watching black people, let your voices be heard. We as a people will not take this any more.

"America, you will show us the respect we deserve," Render continued. "We will be treated as equal citizens regardless of our skin color. You will not continue to steal our culture for profit while not acknowledging our achievements and contribution. ..."

Geez, can we find this "on demand"? So non compliance will lead to 'blm'. Burning, looting, murder then? As some of the folks are fond of repeating----NOH8. I notice some of the ranting is kind of incoherent. Or is that being racis'.

You guys hitched your wagon to the Party of Slave Holders and CHOSE to jump back on the Plantation for your new daddy LBJ. Now you find yourself enslaved in dependence, crappy schools, crappy and crime ridden neighborhoods, and you are complaining about what YOUR PARTY HAS DONE TO YOU.

We used to call people that did the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, INSANE!!!

Gee, Mike, I don't think you're quite acquainted with the actual meaning of stealing for profit and not acknowledging.

If blacks want to escape racism, there is a big continent across the ocean just waiting for highly intelligent and skilled folks like them to develop natural resources and turn it into a heaven on Earth....

If we are going to do The Arena, we should do it right:

*** After seeing the t-shirt mottoes on sale by the NBA such as “F the Jews” ***

And the Jews follow along. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jews weren’t some of the customers for those shirts. And in November, they’ll vote for the party that openly hates them.

I like how American minorities think only their group has struggled.

It’s only happening to them... right.

The situation my grandparents left in the ‘old country’ was inconceivable.... not enslaved, of course... but robbed, oppressed, betrayed, kicked out of their homeland of a couple thousand years, and murdered.

No people have the market cornered on oppression... so it’s time to wake up and look around.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think Africans have a great deal of admiration for black Americans in general. African immigrants tend to try to avoid them or taking on black American cultural traits.

Apparently it was my WP that allowed me to rent half a mobile home when I was first stationed in Mayport Fl back in ‘69. Mixing my white milk half and half with powdered milk to stretch it. Livin’ large as they say.

Yes if they emigrated they’d be immigrants with low skills and huge sense of entitlement and self-worth. There would be no “bro’hood of skin color” which would be a huge shock to many of them. They would end up being a huge burden to the African nation that accepted them. It would go ugly on them very very fast. They would very quickly find out what its like to have the “oppressive American system” not protect them.
