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 won’t react to something just because I’m supposed to, because I’m an African-American,” he said. “That argument doesn’t 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 we’ve progressed as a society? Well, we’ve progressed as a society, then don’t jump to somebody’s defense just because they’re African-American. You sit and you listen to the facts just like you would in any other situation, right? So I won’t 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
