    he aint on a team so i wouldnt call this being an active player coming out....he aint getting signed now
    I was thinking the same thing. He may not play again, its not the fact that he's ? . He wasn't any good, but the ? rights advocates will be up in arms when/if he's looking to get signed and isn't by next season.

    With all due respect you sound incompetent and completely uneducated. You know who always makes this ? argument? Crackers...lets be clear g...

    Police dont stop and frisk you cause your ? ...its because they profile blacks.

    People were not enslaved, tortured, and ? for hundreds of years cause they were ? ...they were black.


    Governments did not institute redlining policies to ostracize ? , they did it to ostracize blacks.


    You get my point. You need to read some books and know your history before you make such crass arguments. I made a this white ? cry one time when she said the same dumb ? you did....I wont lie. I laughed and enjoyed that ? .


    What I dont get tho is how one minority that knows damn well how hard it is to be discriminated against can dicriminate against their own, for things they themselves dont` fully understand. Imagine being ? and black, your own community turns their back on you and your own family wont` accept you, so you have nowhere to turn.

    No ? given about ? people.


    There's a difference, but most of the time they're one in the same.

    Don't get mad when the Klansman say the same thing about black folks.

    I'm assuming your black.

    If it's not said in my face, I don't give a ? .

    We're all either racists, homophobes, sexists, or something in our own homes or circles.

    ? just ain't the same, so stop reaching.

    I've never had to "come out" with my blackness.

    Every room I walk into, my race is the first thing people know about me.

    Lemme know when ? have their own holocaust, or Apartheid, or centuries of slavery.

    If I could go back and trade the slave trade in exchange for just a bunch of name calling over the years and a couple of fights and arguments, I'd make that trade in a heartbeat.

    Haha you house ? are really programmed huh? So answer this when in the past did ? support black civil rights? I"ll wait....The fashion industry is a billion dollar enterprise run by ? right? Who has the opportunities? Not black models? Why arent ? coming to their aid? No other group has been vocal about the continued racism that goes on today so why is it that we have to come to their aid? For ? blacks...ehhh it sucks cause they just have it double bad. I see where that argument makes sense.

    Apparently writers know of them...like Woj.

    "In the NBA and outside, I've known of other ? athletes and the way the silence tears them up, the way the culture and industry has long forced them to be someone else. It's torture, and reading Collins' moving, eloquent essay in Sports Illustrated on Monday morning suggests this revelation will give him peace."

    Westbrook outfits make him number one candidate...seems like one of those aggressive ? that learned fashion at some art school and makes normal subtle ? dudes uncomfortable and straight dudes who could give a ? stare with the camron disgust face.

    Jackie Robinson didn't chose to be black...Collins chose to suck ? ...no comparison.

    They just lumping them together cuz dude coming out turned out to be black....if he was white would he be Abraham Lincoln or some ? ? No...cuz it's a massive reach.

    ? got the whole game ? up.

    And don't nobody come out saying they straight, so y a big deal if they ? guys? ? can you rebound? Ok then ? and play ball....private lives should remain that...PRIVATE. Keep that ? to ya self...I don't care where ya ? at whether it be in a ? , in ya hand, in a blow up doll etc, unless I'm interested in ya ? , and a ? not interested in the slightest....so keep that ? to yourself IMO.....? marriage is a legit civil rights issue..being ? in a locker room is in no way shape or form something anyone should or does give a ? about.

    Whether Collins or anyone else chooses to be ? remains to be seen, I personally think it's a biological thing. What he did choose is to hide it by being with women and being engaged to that woman.
