Mike Brown was fired from the Kings less than a year and a half ago.
He was also fired by the Cavaliers, who he just swept, TWO SEPARATE TIMES in his career.
Today, he’s leading the Knicks to their first NBA Finals in 27 years.
@Warr4Christ@XKnockouts Silence doesn’t cure anything; it just lets the damage spread. Discussing history isn’t what keeps racism alive. The conditions that created it are what keep it alive.
@Warr4Christ@XKnockouts And saying people shouldn’t react to a word tied to centuries of violence ignores the weight behind it. Using that logic, we should stop talking about cancer too because ignoring a malignant problem has always been the most effective treatment.
@Warr4Christ@XKnockouts Exposure isn’t the same as acceptability. Media can make a word familiar, but familiarity doesn’t equal universal permission. Context, history, and who’s speaking still matter.
@Warr4Christ@XKnockouts Everything you listed is historically accurate, but none of it answers the question of acceptability. Reclamation by Black comedians isn’t the same as society approving it. Hip‑hop popularity isn’t the same as universal permission. You gave a timeline, not a justification.
