Rebel Inc: Escalation is a game about priorities.
All this fuss is over Morey? Daryl Morey? The guy that runs Clutch Gaming? Who cares if some nerd posts some shit about support for the... OMG DARYL MOREY OWNS PART OF THE HUSTON ROCKETS?!? Oh, that's cool.
Anyway, leave it to a nerd to sink the NBA in China. But I also gotta say Hong Kong is going way too hard on LeBron. Lemme just read what he said because it can't be that... Oh, LeBron... Baby, what is you doin?
Ok, so Maybe Morey's tweet resulted in the Chinese Basketball Association dropping the Rockets. Maybe it resulted in China Central Television dropping preseason games, and NBA related events being dropped left and right from Beijing to Shanghai. Lotta heat for a Tweet.
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere-our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Wise words, LeBron. But maybe this time you should have just shut the fuck up. Or backed the homie up. Either or.
Not that Hong Kong isn't fucking up either. Last time I checked Kapernick still don't have a job and the cops have moved on from shooting us in the street to shooting us in our own homes. Any help from the international community for us? Nah? But hard times hit and Hong Kong is legit marching down the street with American flags screaming "Save our souls" and singing Le Mis tunes to impress our oppressors.
Black man says a dumb opinion and they out there burning effigies of black men like we started the bar fight. No, "Wow, that was a shitty thing to say but we stand with African Americans in their struggle and we hope they stand with us in ours." It's just easier to burn us and suck our oppressor's dicks instead of making it a teachable moment for a guy out there trying his best, I guess. I'm not mad tho.
Anyway, good luck with that, and slime me if you want to, but here is the hard truth Hong Kong, you ain't the only ones who got it bad out here. The black community loves Lebron, he is us, we are him. To you, he is just some sports star.
When you put a picture of a crying black man over your faces during your demonstration, it's a disrespectful, bad look, and we are looking. Not that you care.
Double Anyway, shouts to info. rip TB rip Tc rip Tall-T. Love is wise, hatred is foolish, get out there and do great things. We believe in you. Also jobs.
