Showing Original Post only (View all)Kobe Bryant Admits He Wasn’t Comfortable with Miami Heat’s Trayvon Protest [View all]
I could care less what Kobe thinks. What a complete maroon
I wont react to something just because Im supposed to, because Im an African-American, he said. That argument doesnt make any sense to me. So we want to advance as a society and a culture, but, say, if something happens to an African-American we immediately come to his defense? Yet you want to talk about how far weve progressed as a society? Well, weve progressed as a society, then dont jump to somebodys defense just because theyre African-American. You sit and you listen to the facts just like you would in any other situation, right? So I wont assert myself.

I guess he didn't realize there were white people on the Miami Heat who were on the side of Trayvon Martin - oh and justice. So now that the facts are out there Kobe are you still on George Z's side?? He's a pig

OP
I suppose placing fictional outrage onto other people is the best argument...

No, you don't just because of your color, you come to the defense when there's injustice
