OP said people have been "conditioned" into hating conservatives as if people can't just think for themselves and have a different political viewpoint
I said black conservatives, which really isn't up for debate. It's why four conservative black men asked another conservative black man, with their first question, what it was like to do what he did. They know the repercussions for it, and what society EXPECTS from JI given his (and their) skin color.
As for people thinking for themselves, I agree, it's just a coincidence that so many people have views that align perfectly with what's presented on TV.
Most people have also latched on to the political views stated in the interview, even though the bulk of it had them discussing non-political topics. Someone saying I shouldn't have started the thread, a mod threatening to lock it down if it got too political (and then proceeding to post the most political post in it), and then your comment which took what I said out of context.
It's a good interview, instead of scrambling peoples words around or worrying about the small amount of political dialogue within it, maybe it would've been better to just not watch it at all. If someone starts a topic I don't care about, I don't take part in it. If I don't like a song on the radio, I turn it off. If i don't like a TV show, I don't watch it. This is easy stuff.
I feel like you are being a little dishonest here. I watched the interview and it’s a good interview but the vast majority of it is JI talking about his politics and religion. There is very little talk about basketball, if any.
You want people to avoid talking about politics mentioned in the video but the video and channel is inherently political. I watched these guys before and it’s a conservative channel, politics and religion is what they talk about. This can’t be avoided.
Additionally, I don’t think the mod meant to say he would close the thread if it got too political or one could not post about politics. I think he meant say he would close the thread if it got too disrespectful which is fair as that is what tends to happen when people talk about politics and religion.
