Black ex-NBA Kenyon Martin claimed Asian-American NBA player was culturally appropriating blacks by having dreadlocks.
Martin spoke on instagram saying: >“Do I need to remind this damn boy his last name Lin?” Martin said with a sarcastic face and tone. “Like, come on, man. Let’s stop it with these people. There is no way possible he would’ve made it on one of our teams with that bullshit on his head. Come on man, somebody need to tell him, like, ‘alright bro, we get it. You wanna be black.’ Like, we get it. But your last name is Lin.’”
Lin replied on instagram saying: >“Hey man, it’s all good. You definitely don’t have to like my hair and definitely entitled to your opinion,” Lin wrote. “Actually I legit grateful you sharin it DESU. At the end of the day, I appreciate that I have dreads and you have Chinese tattoos. I think its a sign of respect. And I think as minorities, the more that we appreciate each other’s cultures, the more we influence mainstream society. Thanks for everything you did for the Nets and hoops … had your poster up on my wall growin up.”
Do black people have anything better to do with their miserable lives than complain?
I mean, if I was born cursed by the Lord I'd be pretty upset as well, I guess

>africans have authority over dreads What? The Sadhus and Aghoris here have been keeping dreads since thousands of years. Even Shiva is depicted as having dreads.
Gavin Ross
that's some funny shit, 99% of those people have no idea why they follow him and i appreciating him exposing them
Leo Martinez
I shit you not black people will tell you those people were African
Robert Sullivan
Holy shit, Lin just respectfully handed Kenyon Martin his ass back to him. What class. Respect.
Gavin Rodriguez
These guys couldn't find India on a map, like they care about that stuff

It's pointless to ask such questions, when they cleary show no sign of logic or consistency in their demandings. I mean one day they say that multiculturalism is the best thing ever and then you aren't allowed to have a certain haircut, if you don't belong to the right race.
Hudson Brooks
So let me get this straight.
The black guy with an arm full of chinese tattoos is asshurt because Lin has dreads???
The same Jeremy Lin who always had these 'extreme' hairstyles?
Is this faggot serious?
Anthony Jackson
I think even SJWs don't understand the term "cultural appropriation". Cultural Appropriation isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Oliver Foster
Imagine being so stupid that you unironically call someone out for cultural appropriation on a public forum while having symbols from their culture permanently on your skin. I cant even fathom the thought process
Caleb Garcia
>niggers making themselves look retarded yet again LEL
Christian Martinez
*cringes*
to be clear, I'm cringing at both Lin for doing dreads and K-Mart.
Dreads only look good on 3000 BCE Greek boys. Evidence points dreads started in Greece.
Gavin Fisher
tbf I don't think Martin has a thought process, let alone a string of thoughts

Cooper Ramirez
wrong, the "out of africa" theory is wrong and has been disproven
Wyatt Rogers
For 4000 years in Sub-Saharan Africa, this was the largest most complex building in Africa. A mud castle
While China built the Great Wall and Forbidden City.
While Greece built the Parthanon
While Egypt made Giza
While Native Americans made Teotihuacan
Jaxon Jackson
That's not even sub-Saharan Africa, it's in Mali iirc.
Nathaniel Reed
Irrelevant. /thread
Ayden Clark
Due to African farming practices (or lack thereof) Saharan desert is in Mali.
However, this was never the case. Saharan desert was much smaller before Africans overgrazed/over farmed the Sahara. The Sahara was originally just spanning North Africa.
In college, my geography class was taught by a professor from Mali. And we covered desertification of Africa a lot.
Colton Roberts
What is irrelevant?
Caleb Mitchell
Didn't the desertification of the sahara happen thousands of years ago though?
Eli Foster
Wring
Thomas Ortiz
It's a lot easier to farm in China, Greece and Egypt than in sub saharan Africa. It's a lot easier to build great structures in areas where you can permanently settle and not have to deal with your crops being destroyed every other year because of unreliable weather
Leo Long
>what are ancient Indian civilizations
Owen Morales
The old fag. I looked through his IG, and he seems like a lonely old man desperately looking for attention. Thanks to the literally shaking snowflakes of all types, he got some now.
Luis Davis
Civilisations that lived in great areas for farming?
I meant American Indian you mong. Also Africa is estimated to have about 600 million hectares of unused arable land.
Alexander Long
Let me guess, you are one of those weirdos that think Egypt weren't black?

The quality of arable land in America is way better than Africa, are you serious? It's no coincidence that Egypt was so huge and pretty much nowhere else in Africa was.
Austin Hill
Kenyon Martin? He is like 36
William Gray
Better than Saharan Africa maybe, but the Congo area has some of the most lush and fertile land on this Earth. Notice how while Saharan Africa is plagued with famine, the Congo area never seems to have such problems.
Sebastian Robinson
Literally Kenyon Martin
Literally the K-mart of NBA K-Marts.
