My favorite part about the US being called a racist country in general is the fact that for 8 years we elected a minority of African descent as the leader of our government. When these European countries like Germany, France, England do the same let me know and we can talk.
Too be fair the current president spent those 8 years calling him a secret muslim out to destroy america. Balance.
While you guys are focused on that, I'm laughing that he suggested the US broke up Yugoslavia because we feared them in Basketball.
Regardless how can you be such a racist country when like I said white people elected a minority for 2 terms to head our government. That just about ends all arguments right there.
That doesn't undo the many racist policies in place. Or attitudes. Barack Obama didn't mean racism in the US was over. It showed just how little progress was actually made.
Of course you are 100% correct. My main beef is when other countries point their finger and call us racist I repeat the white majority elected a minority for two terms to lead our government. They should talk when they do likewise.
US is not the most racist country in the world, but it's the most visible.
And that’s all I was responding to. Because it’s silly to make that claim when Obama was president for 8 years. You can not be that inherently racist and also have that happen at the same time. Impossible.
While you guys are focused on that, I'm laughing that he suggested the US broke up Yugoslavia because we feared them in Basketball.
It doesn’t matter if it’s Australian or France in the quarterfinal, the US desperately needs Jayson Tatum in that game.
This team is not good enough to go up against the top couple of teams in this tournament without all of their top 4 or 5 guys and he’s clearly one of them.
He is key. Kemba and Mitchell are explosive scorers that are undersized and if matched up with stronger and bigger guards that play defense, then you need the offense to come from someone else. Middleton can't do it, Brown, Smart either. The only other guy capable to play with a ball in his hands and be effective is Tatum. So, I agree. He is the key to playing well. The offense vs Greece was torture to watch.
If we don’t get it done I hope Popovich takes the hit he deserves. He had plenty of pieces and enough to make it work.
I haven’t moved off my position from the start of the tournament. Only a loss to Serbia would be understandable if not acceptable to me. Anything else is a massive failure.
now in the 1/4, it will be a first true challenge for Team USA.
