    Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver is suspended, and selling his team, after it was found he used racial slurs in conversation, but one NBA champion thinks his racism is much more overt.

    Former Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom said that the Suns' mascot, a gorilla, has racial connotations.

    "The thing that’s funny is they kind of slid that one by for all these years," Odom said on the "Bootleg Kev Podcast." "Nobody says anything about that. Gorillas, in the desert, you can’t find any. You could probably find a cactus.

    A White chocolate chip is racist, because it usurps the black people's rights as a chocolate chip.

    I am so glad I am dying soon, because this woke shit is getting out of hand.

  4. Oh no. Last time I bought some hot chocolate to drink I bought white chocolate. I haven't tried
    it yet but I hope that doesn't make me racist since I did not pick the dark chocolate drink. :rolleyes:

    A few years ago the Google image AI was branded racist for tagging images of some black people as gorillas. Similar thing happened with the Facebook AI.

    The only solution is to cancel all Gorillas everywhere, off the tv, internet, from zoo's. Wipe all mention of them and all images of them.

    Remember all the outrage over the shooting of Harambe and all the controversy associated with it. Along with the folks who tried to claim it as some parallel on how cops treated minorities.
     
  7. Lamar Odom has severe brain damage from his crack-induced strokes and spending too much time with the Kardashians. He doesn't represent some sort of movement.
