NBA Coach: ‘White People Especially’ Need To Be Made ‘Uncomfortable’

 

“Well, because it’s uncomfortable, and there has to be an uncomfortable element in the discourse for anything to change. Whether it’s the LGBT movement, women’s suffrage, race, it doesn’t matter. People have to be made to feel uncomfortable, and especially white people because we’re comfortable. We still have no clue of what being born white means,” he stated.

“If you read some of the recent literature, you’ll realize there really is no such thing as whiteness, but we kind of made that up. That’s not my original thought, but it’s true,” Popovich said.

He added, “Because you were born white, you have advantages that are systemically, culturally, psychologically there. And they have been built up and cemented for hundreds of years. But many people can’t look at it. It’s too difficult.”

“It can’t be something that is on their plate on a daily basis. People want to hold their position, people want the status quo, people don’t want to give that up. And until it’s given up, it’s not going to be fixed,” the coach stated.

Clearly a lot of Americans can't stand the thought of equality. Pity. {nm} dubord.s Sep 26, 21:32

Most agree to principles of liberty and justice for all, but this protest is perceived as disrespectful and offensive in so many ways. (nm) TJNFL1 Sep 27, 00:44

Please list all the Ways. {nm} Captain Obvious Sep 27, 01:04

Disrespectful to the anthem, the flag, the country, the veterans, active service members, law enforcement protecting the athletes. (nm) TJNFL1 Sep 27, 01:30

Disrespecting a Racist, Warmongering National Anthem - is that your Position? {nm} Captain Obvious Sep 27, 01:42

Disrespecting Law Enforcement that is Executing Unarmed African Americans - Is that your Position? {nm} Captain Obvious Sep 27, 01:44

Pleas advise how they should do their Protest so that it doesn't Offend all those BatSh*t Crazy Old White Guys. {nm} Captain Obvious Sep 27, 01:06

Captain, I'm not going to respond to your posts any longer due to the constant slamming of "white" people. Its just racist. (nm) TJNFL1 Sep 27, 01:36

Please tell us what you think of Gregg Popovich's Statements.See Post Below. {nm} Captain Obvious Sep 27, 01:41

Not Slamming 'White People'. Slamming the BatSh*t Crazy Old White Guys. You know which ones they are. {nm} Captain Obvious Sep 27, 01:47

TJNFL1 owns a mirror, so yes. {nm} BSmurf Sep 27, 07:57

I disagree with issues on politics not people on their race, challenge ideologies, not individuals, (except now captain). {nm} TJNFL1 Sep 27, 10:03

That's a sham excuse. The Cowboys showed unity BEFORE the anthem, and still got booed. {nm} dubord.s Sep 27, 08:35

Those were New York Giants fans booing. {nm} TJNFL1 Sep 27, 09:47

Not according to your POTUS {nm} dubord.s Sep 27, 10:24

I won't even ask why New York Giants fans were in Arizona to watch the Cowboys... {nm} dubord.s Sep 27, 10:28

New York Giants fans are everywhere and very loyal. {nm} TJNFL1 Sep 27, 11:27
