I am with smazza he is more jealous than he is racists. He said she can do whatever with black people... "**** them I don't care, just don't put pictures on Instagram so my friends call me.." Sounds like one of his friends saw a pic of the girl with a black guy (guessing magic Johnson) on instagram and then called him up and asked if she was cheating on him or something or if he knew about it. He is just mad she's taking pics with black dudes and his buddies are giving him flack. That his women is out with other dudes and his friends calling him up about it is embarressing for him. That is why he keeps saying to keep it private. From the reaction I thought it was some racists rant but its not at all. It's more like "stop embarressing me taking photos with these black dudes. Now I got my friends calling me up about you in these photos with other guys." There is some inherent racism in the rhetoric but some of the other things he says seems to indicate he isn't nearly as hateful as I thought the rhetoric would be considering so much talk about it. It's likely most black players in the NBA have said worse things perhaps jokingly or not, about white people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thinks of himself as "lord of the manor" surrounded by the beloved house n*****s and the despised (but necessary) field n******s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black , white, orange, purple whatever. It was jealousy. Michael Jordan just said he "used" to hate all white people. I bet no punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked to be taped. There was a 3rd party in the room at the time, so it was not even a secret conversation. where did you get this fact that he asked to be taped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, he thought he was getting senile, so he asked her to record all their conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
