DENG"I'm proud to say I actually have a lot of African in me

"I'm proud to say I actually have a lot of African in me, not just 'a little,' " Deng said in a statement Tuesday. "For my entire life, my identity has been a source of pride and strength."

That's what's up!

Disregard these ignorant racist people and their "business" statements.

Turn the other cheek and stay positive!

Props to you Deng!

:roll:

Andyway, It's a SHAME that a Man that use to play basketball with Black People for you to say
"has a little African in him. Not in a bad way, but he's like a guy who would have a nice store out front but sell you counterfeit stuff out of the back." Ferry also referred to his report saying that Deng was "two-faced." is being dusted off as a "Stupid Business Mistake".
I
So it's ok cus it's in a business setting?

This is actually WORSE than Sterling. Sterling was Old, Senile, with Dementia, and paying for women he can only get because he has money. Ferry is a straight up snake and If I were the Hawks team, I'd Protest and not play there anymore.

But, Deng responded very well. He showed true restraint and class in his statement.

Good for him but too many non racist people been made out to be racist. People need to relax on the witch hunt.

Well... Not in this instant.

When that actually happens then sure I would agree. But In this case and the Starling case, NO! :nonono:

You just don't do that and say things like that and pass it off as a non edited business mistake. Just cus you use to play the game and smile in every's face doesn't mean JACK if how you truly feel about people is what it is.

That just doesn't fly anymore.

It's not a hunt at all. It's a fact. You don't have to use the N Word or Lynch people to be considered racist. Its a lot of "tolerated, smile in your face racists" and it's coming out. I mean that was really REALLY bad and Offensive and as much as I LOVE basketball, I'm really starting to question everyone behind the NBA. It's like the TRUE COLORS are coming out one by one.

Points for losing the common sense lottery.

Pro tip: Luol Deng is not a member of these forums.

Then why didn't he just say that?
Its easy to misinterpret what he's saying (If that's what he meant)

And even so, I honestly don't know what he meant by that. If that was meant to be a joke, I honestly don't get it.

You can't assume that everyone knows the meaning behind certain remarks made in certain topics.
Feel free to elaborate on what he meant so I'll know in future.

Thanks

I wonder what would happen if a player in Europe was said to have a little American in him

I'd love to see emails between Adam Morrison and JJ Reddick. Could be some comedy gold there.

I just don't get how this situation is not as big as the Donald Sterling's situation. Danny Ferry and whoever the Hawks owner is should be ban for life!

Because the Donald Sterling situation was never a big deal to begin with, it just got blown out of proportion. He got into a heated, jealousy-fueled argument about race with his multi-racial mistress in the privacy of his home. I'd love to listen in on some of the private conversations from the hypocritical moral police posters around here. I guarantee the majority of people here have made a racist statement in private at some point in their lives, whether they're black, white, latino, asian, middle-eastern, whatever.

Ferry's statements could be interpreted as racist depending on the context. I'm still not really sure what he meant by it but it could go either way. Deng seems to be handling it the right way though. All class.

Deng is so good on and off the court that i really do not understand this comment... Yes he is african... and he is very good.

My closest friends are black and if you quoted the things we talk about you could say I'm racist. I'm white of course.

Somebody needs to follow Ballmer around with a camera. He will say something that can be interpreted as racist. I mean just look at the guy:

Him forced to sell will be comedy gold.
