    I wasn't even talking to you specifically. You were quoting adverbs describing actions of animals that were not racist. I simply pointed out one that was. I want to say that cartoon was ran (about Obama) in the Times? It was simply to illustrate the difference between what's really racist and how what SA said was not.

    You keep thinking "You" speak for everyone.

    Clearly you do not. Thus why this Adams shit made news headlines.

    HILARIOUS...

    Even the yahoo story made light of it:

    "It’s certainly an uncomfortable moment, but it qualifies as a gaffe rather than anything more sinister. Adams, as you may be able to tell from his accent, is from New Zealand, and while playing basketball in the United States for four years has been enough to get him acclimated professionally, it’s not enough time to internalize the endless idioms of American culture."

    This article simply gave you license to go on some phony outrage PC police rant. When the truth of the matter is the no one cares about what he said and no one thinks he's racist for saying it.

    Where are these PC police? Who is publicly indicting and admonishing him?

    The fact that it made news in the first place is all the evidence I need (google it, its everywhere), as it spawned tons of complaints elsewhere. Hence the PC Police. It was subtle, but it's there.

    Thanks, try again.

    Go to the comment section of the story (normally filled with some of thr most vile, hateful words). The only negativity is people complaining about these non existent PC police.

    You're missing the point dude. The mere fact that it was even brought up across media outlets, in of itself, is the PC Police trying to start something. Like I said, it was a very clever subtle way of pushing agenda.

    Cool story bro. But that doesn't prove your point like you think it does.

    He literally referred to black people playing basketball as resembling monkeys. He then apologized. Historically referring to black people in that manner has been racist. That's the reason why it made news. Not because some PC police was coming out chastising him about it because that simply didn't happen. I didn't miss the point.

    Now if that was done with a Southern accent as opposed to and New Zealand Australian accent then maybe there would have been some uproar. Most everyone knows he was not being racist.

    Now let's ask ourselves a different question:

    Where is the uproar coming from?

    The only uproar is coming from people complaining about imaginary PC police.

    Certainly does make my point.. If most everyone knew he wasn't being racist, then it should have been a non-story. The whole reason it was published was because people are trying to make something out of nothing and he had to apologize to quiet down the media bullshit.

    I am not making an uproar bro. I am debating a topic that was posted on a forum thread.

    So quit with that bullshit.

    You're complaining about imaginary PC police when there were no PC police to be found.

    Did you even read the story? Nothing in the story implied that. Not one single word.

    No fuck that! I'm sick of people like you and Donald Trump complaining about PC police simply because they want to continue to say racist insensitive things. There's no such thing as the PC police. They're simply people that are complaining about people being ignorant and racist.

    Oh god, you've been triggered.

    Here, it's right here in his fucking own words:

    Adams said: "But they obviously can be taken differently, depending on which country you’re in. I’m assimilating, mate, still trying to figure out the boundaries."

    Meaning the PC Police got after him because of what he said. When it should have been a fucking non-story because we all know the dude isn't racist and wasn't being racist. Yet the media and the PC crowed drummed up shit to try to make it stick. So he had to apologize to appease that crowd.

    Step back from the ledge man...

    That doesn't mean shit. The Twitter responses (Twitter will kill you) give him justice.

    pic.twitter.com/ss5DbHilqD

    How do you know it wasn't one of his teammates that told him about his gaffe?

    PC police don't exist.

    And the only ledge that I'd need to step back from is the one that I would end up pushing Donald Trumps ideology off of.

    If they didn't exist it should (and would) have been a non story bro. But you go on doing you.

    This is correct. And the reason people "think hes an asshole" (as the comic depicts) and publish the story, is because he wasn't being politically correct in America. Hence the PC Police shit.

    You guys seriously not seeing this?
