    Played T'Challa, Jackie Robinson, James Brown, and Thurgood Marshall.

    That's a nice resume.

    Message from the King, a Netflix movie he did, was pretty damn good too. No one ever really talks about that one

    An experience i'll never forget is meeting him and Ewing in before they played Memphis St in old Freedom Hall in the ncaa tourney as a 13 yr old.

    Pretty anti-cancel culture here, but I'm gonna go ahead and say we need to cancel 2020.

    Growing up in the northeast, I had the good fortune of being raised on Big East basketball. I missed most of the 80’s which was of course the heyday of the league, but getting to watch a bunch of legendary coaches for a few years was a great experience.

    Hunter Thompson, 23, law student at memphis. Died a month after being beaten for being white and in wrong place at wrong time. Savage beating left him on life support.
    All lives matter.

    You know the "lives matter" part is referring to justice, right?

    You know if 5 white dudes beat a black dude to death it would be headline news and a hate crime, right? Or maybe you dont. I dont give a shit

    Are his killers not being charged?

    So, you don't understand. The concept behind the Black Lives Matter results from abuses by police and other figures towards black people where they received no justice for the violations committed against them, particularly in the case of the police, which is why the movement was focused there. It does not mean Black Lives Only Matter.

    Are the guys who committed this act charged with the crime? That would be the justice part.

    I don't know anything about the case, but it sounds terrible. I hope there is justice done. It just seemed like you wanted to place heavy emphasis only the All Lives Matter part, which has been used as an undercutting of the BLM concept.

    Nah uni i wanted to emphasize if the victim was black and was beaten to death by 5 crackers it would looked on differently, especially right now.
    Dont care about your movement. You do you.

    In what way would it be looked upon differently?

    So, you don't really give a shit other than to make your usual "If this had happened to this group, then this would've happened" hypothetical [itch bay]ing nonsense? But, you don't care about the movement other than to make some appropriation of their motto and make some comment as a back handed swipe towards their goals?

    How shitty of you.
