#1 Popovich called the United States of America "an embarrassment"

'Popovich'.... sounds Polish. I wonder how the Poles feel about such a comment.

#2 If you read some of the recent literature, you’ll realize there really is no such thing as whiteness, but we kind of made that up

We can call it Western Civilization if it makes you feel any better.

#3 We still have no clue of what being born white means."

15 IQ points above "African Americans", 5 IQ points below "Asian Americans"?

#4 Besoeker "vich" is Russian, "ski" Polish. Popovich means "vicar's son".

#6 Memo to Popovich: your job is to win basketball games, not lecture to Americans about race. Shut the fuck up and get back to work.

#7 Well, I'm "uncomfortable," but not in the way Mr. Popovich intends.

#9 I tend to avoid things that make me uncomfortable so I guess I'll be avoiding San Antonio Spurs basketball games. That doesn't hurt nearly as much as missing the Raiders but they made me so uncomfortable last Sunday evening that I'll be avoiding them too.

#10 Last Sunday morning the minister at our church talked about forgiveness. I guess I can forgive these people if they'd just get back to playing basketball or football instead of calling me a racist and disrespecting my country.

#11 I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what "white privilege" is so that I can sit back and enjoy it.

#12 That preaching apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. Pity for him preaching is death for entertainment (and as stated above not his f***ing job!).

#13 "white privilege" is original sin for the marxist religion.

#14 Abu Uluque #9: ...Raiders but they made me so uncomfortable last Sunday evening...
Watching the Raiders ~~players~~ uniformed thugs slouching on the benches awoke a visceral anger. I wished for all of their adversaries to give them the full Conan treatment for enemies.

#15 Well, magpie, they sure got their butts kicked Sunday.
