Why should Phil Jackson HAVE to apologize?
Phil Jackson President New York Kicks
This evening as I was reading all the racially, homophobic and all kinds of phobic hate filled irrational rhetoric on Facebook and saw an article about Phil Jackson 13 championship coach of the Chicago Bulls now president of the New York Knicks offended LeBron James for calling LeBron James and his business associates as posses when describing the men he works proudly with.
Now Shaun King writer journalist for the Daily News also found the word posse as offensive to our black men saying on his Facebook that he is a lifelong fan of Phil Jackson he absolutely agreed with Labron saying that for Jackson would not have called his business team a “posse” if they was white he would have never used the word posse to describe them. Shaun continued to say that these are highly skilled businessmen and leaders.
And on top of that these are grown respectable dudes with families.
Phil should apologize learn from this and move on.
I disagree on this one I really do.
Not every white person has bigoted, racial and or stereotypical intention in their gesture and or what they say.
This world today is so PC Politically Correct until some people walk on egg shells not to upset or offend anyone until it’s ridiculous. In fact a lot of Shaun’s follows was offended themselves there was a lot of them that said what I said what was wrong with calling his business partners posses?
I even googled the definition and it read….
