Politically the American Negro is nothing but a football and the white liberals control this mentally dead ball through tricks of tokenism: false promises of integration and civil rights. In this profitable game of deceiving and exploiting the political politician of the American Negro, those white liberals have the willing cooperation of the Negro-Malcolm x
At 38 years old Kyle Korver has spent over 16 years in the 75% black NBA observing his teammates deal with racism. When Thabo selfosalona a teammate, suffered a broken leg at the hands of the NYPD last year, things changed.
The event sets the tone of bold honest opening in Korver’s article “Privileged“. Korver explains his own biased reaction to the event, assuming that Thabo did something wrong.
Korver’s reaction is how the majority of white Americans would respond initially. While Korver never mentions the word liberal. I can’t help but draw comparisons to Malcolm X’s stance on liberals and Korver’s.
Racism is deep ugly, historical and systematic, but how it operates, directly and indirectly, shouldn’t be difficult to grasp. Similar to liberals, Korver recognizes that despite his actions for solidarity he can blend in with the racists at any moment.
Ironically, Study shows that white liberals dumb themselves down to blend in with black people.
This isn’t just a co-worker or someone in a grocery store, it includes NBA,NFL arenas where the majority of players are black.
Calling out this type of hokey pokey activism, sets a needed standard on activism which is at the end of the day results based.
White liberals conviction on racism has never been put to the test nor has it been held accountable. Malcolm warned people of this over 60 years ago, by exposing liberals “false promises”.
Although Korver isn’t the most popular player in the league and is near the end of his career he takes a financial risk by holding his fans accountable.
If you’re wearing my jersey at a game? Know that about me. If you’re planning to buy my jersey for someone else…… know that about me. If you’re following me on social media….. know that about me. If you’re coming to Jazz games and rooting for me….. know that about me.

Not only is this statement crucial for white fans at the games but black athletes as well. We must begin to see more black athletes risking losing millions of dollars or fans to not only call out racism but implement practical solutions. After all, can we expect white athletes to risk their finances if we don’t?
The black population in Utah is 1%, to assume racism isn’t going on would be Naive. However, After banning a racist fan for life, Utah Jazz’s president Gail Miller addressed the crowd by telling them “were not a racist community”.Sounds like white liberal talk to me.
In conclusion, a lot of former and current athletes would disagree with her. We can find out the truth by putting a copy of Korver’s privilege under every home-game seat for fans to read.
Should more white athletes speak out on injustices against people of color? Let us know in the comment section below?
