Jaylen Brown spoke out about racism in Boston, as well as in the United States during a press conference today. This was his statement:
“I’ve kind of seen the things floating around with Boston and the topic of racism… I have not talked to anyone, not Kyrie, Marcus, or Danny Ainge about my thoughts or my perspective… I do think that it’s a good conversation… systemic racism should be addressed in Boston, and it also should be addressed in the United States… I do not like the manner it was brought up, centering around a playoff game… it bothers me if the concept of racism is used as a crutch… for a personal gain… I do think racism is bigger than basketball, and bigger than Game 3 of the playoffs… so I recognize my privilege as an athlete, but once you get to a certain point, nothing you experience overtakes the experiences that people deal with on a daily basis… I understand the frustration right now… with Russell Westbrook and Trae Young, and I’m pissed… I don’t think that we have to put up with that… yes I think it’s important to address those situations… those incidents don’t compare to what systemic racism is currently doing in our community, and has done in the past… that’s important to frame it in that context… I know that every Celtic fan in our arena is not a racist… however, Boston we got a lot of work to do… the inequality in education specifically in Boston public schools needs to be better… the tokenism here in Boston needs to be addressed as well… in the real world things exist to far different extremities… this is my opinion of course… I definitely think, Boston, we got a lot of work to do… I’m not really answering any questions, guys, I just wanted to share my perspective.

Great input and enlightenment Jalen! Boston is a northern Mississippi/Alabama and Confederate city.

Always remember "Self Hated":= racism, bigotry and hated..

@nathano55 2 жыл бұрын

I may be wrong, but I feel like it’s mostly a regional issue in the Boston area. South Boston and surrounding suburbs seem the most racist, whereas other areas you won’t see the same. But I’m not going to pretend that I know for sure that’s the case, that’s just how I feel it is. I’m white so I obviously don’t see what minorities see on a daily basis

So he’s basically saying the same thing as kyrie but because he’s a Celtic, Boston fans will praise him. Kyrie never said “everyone in Boston is a racist”, he was stating the fact that everyone knows racist shit is said to players all the time in Boston. If you comment “Jaylen is smarter than Kyrie and Lebron” etc then you are most likely part of the problem. Lebron and Kyrie are just as smart if not smarter, they just have a differing viewpoint that you don’t agree with (one that is much more aligned with Jaylen brown than you would like to admit).

Kyrie being Kyrie. He knows he going to get booed big time and had to make that out to be something that’s not about him and how he quit on the team, the fans and the city, so he deflected it onto racism. Of course JB knows this and sees exactly what’s going on, so he points to the real problem of racism which happens every day to good people in the real world. It’s a travesty that Kyrie would diminish those experiences just to try and avoid the ridicule he rightly deserves. Typical Kyrie. Great job by Jaylen to remind people where to keep their focus. Whatever racism Kyrie might experience from a few Boston fans is a far cry from what many others deal with everywhere.
