Daryl Morey. Thank you for bringing into the light some of the hypocrisy that exist in the government and other institutions in the United States of America. Instead of engaging in dialogue about the past transgressions and terrorism inflicted on Native Americans and African Americans in this country, Morey chose to point a righteous finger at social issues in China. How did that work out for you Daryl?
Why didn't you look within this country first and initiate a discussion about the history of lynching of black people in this country with no one brought to justice; the massacre of black people in Elaine, Arkansas in 1919; the burning down of a prosperous black neighborhood (black Wall Street) near Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921; the murder of 14 year old Emmit Till in Mississippi in 1955; and the other numerous atrocities committed against African Americans all under the banner of the American institution of racism. And let's not even get into the American institution of slavery. What do you think about that period in American history Daryl? What about that discussion Daryl?
No. Instead your mouth opens and you talk about social conditions in China?? Now look what you have done with the relationship the NBA had with China. Your freedom of speech? Excuse me Adam Silver, but it's more like the ignorance and insensitive nature of those who live a life of wealth and prestige. Daryl, once you spend some time helping to improve conditions in poor areas and helping those who do not have what you have.....maybe then you can exercise your privileged "free speech".
But for the time being, in areas of social justice please keep your opinions to yourself.
