    Why not both? It’s like you’re saying “let’s ignore racism and clean street signs.”

    I am so tired of that type of response. There is NO WHERE that I came close to implying “let’s ignore racism and clean street signs.” That is just lazy and I expect better of you. I get that it has become almost a cliche' response on social media to take something either completely out of context or attribute something to someone that they didn't come close to saying, but that is still not an excuse. Can we stick to what someone ACTUALLY says versus the ridiculous fake news type of response that is becoming so prevelant?

    Very poor Eric.

    Wish he would remake his defensive game too, but good for CJ.

    In my best KingSpeed impression: No one is suggesting we ignore clean street signs.

    Not to make this more political but cleaning up our streets, fighting against racism, stopping crime and lowering how much we pay for welfare all have the same solutions: better and more available mental healthcare, education and to a lesser extent healthcare. Not that I think medical/physical healthcare is less important it's just less valuable in solving these specific problems. Quick fixes only exacerbate the problems and other problems.

    Quite right. Too often, so much effort goes into trying to fix things quickly and nothing every really changes. On top of that, the symptioms are being treaded instead of the problem....in example after example.
