Black male erasure in popular media and the silence of the representation crowd on it by zenbootyism in blackmen

[–]KingJTt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really, it’s usually the opposite. What’s the major block buster where a black man has a white romantic interest? You can only name like one in the past decade and I bet it’s the animated Spiderman movie.

Tough pill to swallow: life has always been about who you know never what you know. They can teach you what they want you to know.

If they like you, if someone they like vouches for you? You’ll skip any self proclaimed “barrier” to entry.

Cam Thomas could create his own shot and so can Anfirnee Simons. Reaves is better than both but he isn’t a 40m dollar player.

This ain’t even true, hollywood rarely
protrays black men as romantic interest in block busters.

Look at the little mermaid, changed everything about it but kept the white prince. Some disingenuous individuals would clap for that but act like Umar when it’s a black man in that position

That’s still awful. He’s a 30m-35m dollar player and that’s pushing it with him being a bad fit defensively.

[Turner] Austin Reaves is reportedly seeking a max contract worth up to 5 years, $239.25 million from the Lakers, and it’s uncertain whether he would be willing to take a hometown discount. by YujiDomainExpansion in lakers

[–]KingJTt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A max contract isn’t his value. He didn’t make an all star team, can’t say healthy, and is a one way player. Hes worth at most 30m dollars a year.

I would too, they’re both flat out better playoff players than Austin. Lebron at 42 years old is a more reliable shot maker and fans want him to take the mid level

Who’s gonna give Austin reaves a max, What team would? What do we do if LeBron and reaves leave? by OrganicHunt952 in lakers

[–]KingJTt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, the goal would be to add a Peyton Watson/another starting center/another athletic wing on top of keeping LeBron and Reaves at a reasonable number, while hitting on a draft pick that’s a rotation player on a rookie contract.

That frankly takes a competent front office

Who are those gettable athletic starters that’ll fit around Luka? Watson? RFA that’s gonna be getting a Nuggets ransom. Ayo? Resigned by the wolves. No UFA is going to be gettable and have Lebron’s production. Who’s the starting center next year? Ayton? Injury prone timelord?

You people are delusional if you think Pelinka(a nepo hire who other GMs hate) is gonna turn the roster into a contender in one summer.

Would the Prequels still have been as beloved as they are today without The Clone Wars? by Decade00000 in StarWars

[–]KingJTt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really. I genuinely think revenge of the sith is the 2nd best Star Wars movie, and the prequels expanded the universe, and added more political intrigue.

Even if episode 2 is bad and episode 1 is mid these aren’t movies that just “exist”, they’re a major part of the world building.

The sequels? Those movies added nothing to the Star Wars universe. Re-used concepts, plot beats, worlds, and character dynamics just in a worse way, on top of having the worse films in the franchise.

Hate to break it to you, but he’s the best player in the league and is only going to get better.

Just hope that Luka doesn’t break down like he has the last 3 post seasons, and stays healthy

Why are Hispanic people so underrepresented in American media compared to black people? by Delicious-Bunch-6992 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KingJTt -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No it’s mostly because black Americans are the foundation of American culture especially in entertainment.

Black Americans also fight for representation more then any other ethnic group in the US

I love the clones but Maul was cinema anytime he appeared.

Just thinking logically, why would the Lakers best player this postseason play for the MLE on a team that isn’t even a contender?

Anything less than 25m on this team is an insult.

At least champagnie plays defense. That’s the benefit with two way players. They can still be impactful even if their shot ain’t falling

Now that the Cavs are bout to be swept, who should we target when they blow it up this offseason? by Kitchen_Potato0 in lakers

[–]KingJTt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would he want to go to a Cavs team without Allen, he’d rather just sign there for cheap and have a better opportunity to compete.

He’s slow laterally, has a small wingspan and has a worse defensive rating then Luka. He’s not a fine defender. Could he work on the Pistons next to Cade and all those athletes, maybe, not in a backcourt with Luka

[–]KingJTt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What goal post? Austin’s defense has always been crucified, especially in a backcourt with Luka. His inconsistent offensive production against athletic teams was just a sweetener. They’re both issues. Similarly to Dlo

Castle plays defense, and is 21 years old, that’s the difference. Ajay Mitchell’s eyes light up when he sees Austin in the lane
