    Why do you care? Are you this upset about the treatment of Native Americans , and their continued plight?

    There's no country on this earth that is free of baggage. We all need to do better.

    Maybe if we get enough people in the world to mix together , and worry more about the air, land, food, and housing of the common man, we can move farther away from blowing each other up. Wouldn't it be nice.

    Are you implying that Muslims are just suicide bombers?

    I hope not because that would be a fairly ignorant perception of the Islamic religion and its followers.

    What China is doing is not cool.

    We are keeping refugees in cages on the border as well. People are not good to one another but anybody is free to go work overseas and in sourcing money from China is a good thing. I worked in Asia for 20 years and invested my profits in Oregon. Choices....I also support BLM. Everyone should. I got a paycheck in Vietnam from the Navy too during the war...doesn't mean I was supporting the Viet Minh or Viet Cong. We're not at war with China. If he went to play in Russia, that'd be a dumb move given the circumstances. Chinese people are less political than you think...they just have a shitty president....so did we in Trump for four years recently. That's life.

    Not the point. Anderson apparently believes America is mistreating Black people, but he doesn’t care that China is mistreating muslim people.

    You’re letting him off too easy. If he’s so concerned about the mistreatment of Black people in America, he should be equally concerned about the Muslims in concentration camps in China. But he’s not.

    We have the shittiest president of all right now in Biden, who can’t complete a sentence without a teleprompter, doesn’t know where he is half the time, and keeps falling down. Not to mention he and his son have been extorting millions from foreign countries in the form of bribes for many years, and he now has us embroiled in a foreign war we shouldn’t be fighting. The guy is as corrupt as they come, not to mention addled with dementia, but that’s life.

    hardly....Trump is a traitor...Biden is just senile and his son is a junkie..that's his problem. You and I both recieved paychecks in a country that has held muslims in jail in Guantanamo Bay...double standard much? I'll take a president with a speech impediment over a fucking dictator anyday....but that's life. As to Kenny Anderson, he can work wherever he likes just like you do....Florida tolerates Klan rallies...Nazi rallies...you waive a flag in that state? Choices. I'm not going argue MAGA points with you...clearly you're a Trumper.

    BLM says cops are mistreating black people but you've included all of "America" in your projection. Same with China..I doubt any basketball organization in China is supporting Muslim genocide either. There's over a billion people in that country. The global sports industry is not a political entity, try to seperate the two.... athletes and musicians are not politicians. Yao Ming is not your enemy

    Moved this to the OT section. It's clearly about politics rather than basketball.

    Next time, use the report feature instead of whining in all caps.

    You’re willfully missing the point, aren’t you? BLM believes the entire country is racist, and it’s the system oppressing them. The cops are just one part of it. That’s why they want reparations, affirmative action, Critical Race Theory in the schools, etc. This point is so obvious I don’t know why I have to explain it to you. One would think a young black man who believes in all that would not want to play for a country that is treating its muslim population far worse than the U.S. is treating Black people.

    No...you are lumping a diverse population into one category and assuming finalities..I'm not. White people, asian people, hispanic people, native americans and muslims support BLM and critical race theory, affirmative action etc....I'm a supporter of civil and equal rights. You aren't explaining anything to me other than your disdain for China and BLM supporting black folks...all it does is tell me more about who you are than anyone else. If you think black people haven't been oppressed and profiled in this country, I don't know how to explain THAT to you...I grew up across the river from the reservation too...I can tell you a lot of stories about oppression of Native americans by whites I grew up around....apparently you don't see that problem. I've traveled extensively in China...I never saw an indigenous reservation steeped in poverty there...fix your own backyard before casting stones across the seas. The fact that this is even a debate is very telling about our country. Your nationalistic bluster is a distraction from the real difference...classism.
