Montrelz Harrell calls luka a b*tch ass white boy

[Pachinko_]

should he be suspended?

If the races were reversed would Luka be suspended?

Are u kidding he'd be fkn crucified

[asdfgh]

I'm not saying that Harrell said this (I haven't seen the video yet, and from what I understand from reading the comments, it's not clear if he actually said it), but if any player makes such a comment, they should be suspended for a few games at least.

[NotaHypeJob]

Man some of you guys are looking for a fight. I'm far from a SJW unlike certain posters here but this was the norm when I was growing up at least...and I'm only 33. No one here who is white played on a playground growing up lol

I'm 35 and I agree, The N word is on another level but everyone needs to quit being so soft to everything else. I would literally laugh if my black friends at work or something like that and I'm sure they have at some point lol.

White people usually dont get offended by that type of stuff unless they are drama.

The people complaining about it in this thread don't have black friends, probably never see them in their day to day

For Luka, you have to deal with it.

I'll tell you this -- not sure who would try that with Bird. And if they did, he'd torch them and go to hands if necessary.

I don't like it, but you have to deal with it and gotta earn your respect when challenged.

From what I can tell, Trez is calling Luka soft because Trez got the loose ball and scored. Luka complained to the ref about Trez clearing out.

It's the playoffs. Gotta grind. Make your own plays, don't rely on the ref.

Just to be clear -- I don't like it and Trez should not do it. I'm just talking about how to handle it if you're Luka.

We've all been punked on the court. Have to find ways to deal with it.

Bird would get furious if a team defended him with a white guy.

As for the thread in general, yes it's super hard being a white guy in the Western world, the discrimantion is real. I am a snowflake.

rac·ism
/ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

That’s correct. I would say that being a foreigner totally adjust to the minority definition.

His grandmother died recently so he might be upset about that

He needs to join Dallas next year lol

Racism is a relatively modern concept, arising in the European age of imperialism, the subsequent growth of capitalism, and especially the Atlantic slave trade,[1] of which it was a major driving force.[7] It was also a major force behind racial segregation especially in the United States in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and South Africa under apartheid; 19th and 20th century racism in Western culture is particularly well documented and constitutes a reference point in studies and discourses about racism.[8] Racism has played a role in genocides such as the Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, and genocide of Serbs, and colonial projects including the European colonization of the Americas, Africa, and Asia as well as the Soviet deportations of indigenous minorities.[9] Indigenous peoples have been—and are—often subject to racist attitudes.

Wow

A hundred years ago black people were being hanged in accordance with the law, had separate tables in restaurants etc. All following the rules of the law.

Definitions can always be improved.

From what I can tell, Trez is calling Luka soft because Trez got the loose ball and scored. Luka complained to the ref about Trez supposedly clearing out with his arm.

They had an altercation earlier and Trez was called for a foul.

BLM supported here than leans left in most social issues....BUT

Trez should be suspended for saying that in the current climate. Not even saying I'm personally offended or outraged by what he said, but the NBA can"t BLM written on the court (nice gesture) BLM supporting messages on jerseys (i see what they were trying to do but it' a little obnoxious), and allow black players to say that without any repercussion.


Overall, anything racial from any one should be punished harsher than usual imo right now. I don't believe it was anything with any deep meaning racial hate, or anything other than some stupid trash talk in the moment, but I think a game suspension is warranted.

Also, I should add; Not clear enough evidence that he said that based on that clip and I'm far from an expert leap reader but it certainly seems like he said that and enough people are there in the bubble to confirm whether he said it or not. But if he didn't say that and just cussed at him or something, I'm completely ok with that level of trash talk in the playoffs. I just believe nothing racial should be allowed in a time like this, from either side.

[bearadonisdna]

, i like Trez from his louisville days but he has been polarizing as an nba player.
luka is like the ultimate nba nice guy.

[HotRocks34]

Bird would get furious if a team defending him with a white guy.

True.

One thing I loved about Bird is he never played into race stuff. Didn't care about the white hope junk. He just wanted to ball.

And like I said, he wasn't a punk. He wouldn't cry about stuff, he'd just handle business.

One reason I've always respected him so much is his supreme mental toughness. MJ-like, Kobe-like psychotic mind. Cross him and you will pay.

Remember (if you were watching then) when Rodman and Isaiah said Bird was only regarded as so good because he was white? Bird didn't care. Didn't play victim, didn't whine, just did his thing. Kept going.

Luka will learn.

[Rookie-Mistake]

Pretty much it. IF he did say it (which I can't confirm) then he should be fined/suspended. We don't need to go into historical racial hatred examples to justify why/why not he is allowed to say it. In this current climate, IF he said it. It's unacceptable and should be dealt with accordingly.

I’m all for trash talking, but bringing race into it is unnecessary. Just call him a bitch. No need to bring race into it. League should set an example, my guess is another slap on the wrist via fine.

Strike: Personal attack

[HMFFL]

firstly is there any audio confirmation that's what he was saying? Second, let's not act like it has the same impact if it's reversed.

Why, because you declare it so?

What is with the hostility, I just stated my opinion. There was nothing universal implied. But you honestly think that is going to have the same impact or significance to Luka than the reverse would have on a black player.

Zeno, just stop please.

Thanks, I missed that.

Just playoff tension. Meh. Stuff is said and happens.

[Air Apparent]

if he said it, fine and suspension at the very least

I think he's joking. Most people would not call themselves snowflakes.

The current climate is only what you make it to be...grow some skin and move on. I guarantee you Luka isn't given this a second thought

[ITYSL]

This happens all the time in Australia. Nothing will happen. Roles reversed there would be a riot followed by a series of protests and Luka would be named and shamed all over the media.

What BS.
You're full of sh*t

Cheers

Don't you mean, "Gday mate"?
