Steven Adams apologizes for calling Curry and Klay "quick little monkeys."

[stalkerforlife]

:roll:

"It was just a poor choice of words," Adams told USA TODAY. "I wasn't thinking straight. ... I'm truly sorry." Adams said the remarks to ESPN following the Thunder's 108-102 win over the Warriors.

I hope no one takes offense to this... He's a kiwi for gods sake :lol

[BlazerRed]

Not a big deal. I'm from Australia originally and Aus/NZ people don't use "monkey" in a racist way. Just a mistake from him in the context/locations he was in, he didn't mean anything malicious.

:eek: he said that? That's kinda funny lol. I doubt there was any racial connotation. I bet he calls his kids or nephews little monkeys, I know I do.

[DCL]

i think he meant it as a compliment though.

quick little monkeys imply little fast ninjas that you can never catch.

ever try to grab and catch a monkey on a tree? you ain't got a chance unless you have bait.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Had he associated them with any other animal it wouldnt be a problem

Why do black people find offense in a monkeys?

I thought monkeys were the closest to humans? If being compared to an animal, it seems like a compliment.

What do white people get compared to most, wet dogs? That's way worse than being a bad ass monkey.

I keep seeing articles criticizing him referring to him as a white man - isn't he half Tongan? I'm not saying he shouldn't have apologized, I'm glad he did, but I think it's also unfair that people are dismissing his own proud ethnic background to inflate their case against him.

Why do black people find offense in a monkeys?

This board is such a cesspool that I rarely try to educate people given what appears to be the average IQ around here. However, I may enlighten a couple of people, maybe a lurker or two in which case it would be worth it.

Being that he's from a different culture, I have no doubt that Adams did not mean to offend. However, the reason it is offensive to call black people monkeys, or apes, etc. is because throughout the history of this country racist whites utilized this term as a way to dehumanize black people as they brutalized them physically and mentally.

There are a lot of ignorant people on this board, miserable trolls, etc. who aren't even worthy of engagement. However, you can look at the below to get an idea of just how sick, deranged, deviant and malicious racist scum can be.

It isn't funny, cool "a joke", etc. to engage in this type of twisted, sick behavior. The racists on here feel nice and safe behind their monitors because they are cowards. They would never ever ever ever ever say that stuff to someone's face. Further, like most sick, twisted racists they may have a homoerotic attraction to black men that they're in denial about because why watch a sport dominated by black men, and hang out on a board dedicated to talking about a sport dominated by black men if you hate them? Seems pretty pathetic to me.

Of course... but it's not used much at all. Probably because we don't really have a whole lot of black people in comparison to the US. When someone says monkey referring to a person in Australia it isn't automatically assumed they are being racist, just calling someone silly or quick.

Wrong. White people take shit from every other race constantly and if they give it back, even in an obviously joking manner, the world considers them racist.

Other races take shit constantly too, but are allowed to dish it back and not be branded a nazi racist reincarnation of Hitler.

like I told the other guy. If you feel that way you either trolling or you don't socialize with people outside of your racial group. Of course neither rone of you will admit to it and that's fine. I converse with people from all different backgrounds on a daily basis. I have friends of many different races....everyone one is pretty much the same...you wouldn't know if you dont socialize with different people.


RIGHT


Get out and live a little and get out of your box. don't LET THE MEDIA TRICK YOU INTO THINKING THAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE ONLY RACE OF FPEOPLE THAT HAVE TO MAKE FUN OF THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY CANT FIRE BACK AT OTHER RACES.

He shouldn't have needed to apologize. He's not some American spewing prejudice he's a foreigner who was using an analogy to describe how quick and agile they seem darting around the court and given that he's big and slow it's a fairly good analogy.

If anyone got offended by that they are way too self-centered and sensitive.

Just about everyone would be offended by someone calling their mother a prostitute. Good for you, I suppose. But hopefully you are at least capable of understanding that mere mortals can take offense to a negative comment, even if it's a lie.

[Meticode]

Not a big deal to me. Was it a poor choice of words? Sure. He was just being interviewed and he said the first thing that popped in his mind to describe how quick they are to get around screens and stuff. It's the society's perception that allows themselves to be offended by things like this. Which is why we will never get past racism in human society. It's always going to be there because in this example this man was describing the great play of two players of slight color and he said monkeys and everyone loses their f*cking minds. It's not like he went out there and said "Well, Klay and Steph were running around out there like they were chasing BBQ Chicken with a side of Grape Kool-Aid."

I already mentioned that you only ever posted about the subject of race, and now a completely non-racial statement (which you admit it was) has sent you on a page-long diatribe about the evils of racists.

Your angry demonisation is really quite over the top: we aren't talking about murderers and rapists here, but people who simply have a different opinion to you, one which could well be more a product of ignorance than of any actual malice.

At some point in your life you'll just have to chill out and accept that some people will never like you for the colour of your skin, in the same way many people won't like you for many other reasons that are prejudice-based; it's not nice, it's not fair, but gird up thou loins like a man and get over it; all you're doing is showing that the people you so disdain, and basically portray as subhuman scum, have quite a lot of power over you, and that's the saddest thing of all.

At some point in your life you'll just have to chill out and accept that some people will never like you for the colour of your skin, in the same way many people won't like you for many other reasons that are prejudice-based; it's not nice, it's not fair, but gird up thou loins like a man and get over it; all you're doing is showing that the people you so disdain, and basically portray as subhuman scum, have quite a lot of power over you, and that's the saddest thing of all.
Damn. Enough ether to put Knoe Itawl into exile :lol

Dude, why are you so obsessed with racists? This is frankly getting pretty weird. I already mentioned that you only ever posted about the subject of race, and now a completely non-racial statement (which you admit it was) has sent you on a page-long diatribe about the evils of racists. I mean, we get the damn point already, geez--do you think ya could fit the word "sick" and "twisted" in there a few more times? Your angry demonisation is really quite over the top: we aren't talking about murderers and rapists here, but people who simply have a different opinion to you, one which could well be more a product of ignorance than of any actual malice.

White guy tells everyone to chill out about racists and that it's not a big deal

Is this real life? :roll: :roll: :roll:

He shouldn't have apologized. In fact he should have told them to shove it up their asses because it was pretty clearly not racist. Who gives a damn about some loser who wants to milk this for pity or sympathy claiming they are offended?

How the **** is being called an ape racist?

Apes are strong as ****, can jump high as ****, and are quick as ****

I guarantee any white person would want to have the athletic traits of an ape. I guarantee most posters here would like the athletic abilities of an ape.

By the way I am lightskin black so dont come at me with that racist shit. I see through the lines. Theres no ****ing racism in apes or monkeys. Its actually a compliment because of how dominant they are as animals

Not a SINGLE HUMAN ON THIS EARTH can go toe to toe with an ape.

Yet my fellow blacks scream racism at being compared to apes

Just because SOME RACIST PEOPLE REFER TO BLACKS AS APES IN A NEGATIVE WAY DOESNT MAKE SOMETHING RACIST

Steven Adams is racist as phuck.

since when is 6'3 and 6'7 little

[Sportal]

**** sake, it is not like his family is WHITE for **** sake man, cmon. His family still have traditions that were passed down through the generations that relate to previous eras in the history of their race/culture, even more so than Curry or Thompson could ever have... Common sense needs to be a thing in America.

[dabigbaws]

since when is 6'3 and 6'7 little

when you're 7'0

[oarabbus]

since when is 6'3 and 6'7 little


When you're on an NBA court during a professional NBA game. 6'7" isn't little though unless you qualify it - "little for a Center". 6'3" means you're one of the small guys on the court though.

[SpaceJam]

I have seen your pictures. You literally look like you have down syndrome. Ugly teeth, Ugly face, and Ugly Body. Just an ugly human being. Are you still eating those Goats (Animal) that you and your family killed? Stupid Muslims like you are so sensitive. Maybe you need to get a new pairs of teeth.

And SpaceJam is ugly.

:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

love you bro

[Spurs m8]

As someone else said, anyone from Aus/NZ would get the context of this in a second...funny how such an innocent comment can be taken so far out of context.
I mean, I get it, but theres no way in the world Adams meant that in a racist way lol
Not even debatable.

White guy tells everyone to chill out about racists and that it's not a big deal

Is this real life? :roll: :roll: :roll:
1. I told one guy, because he is so obsessed with the matter that it's probably bad for his health. One person is not "everyone." I didn't say whether it was a big deal or not, just that it's better not to obsess about such things, because you cannot control what other people think, and you should be content with not caring what they think. In a free society there are always going to be people who hold opinions you think repugnant.

2. Why are you making childish and ignorant generalizations about "white people"? I am Polish, so although I may be white, my immediate relatives and ancestors have dealt with far more racial and political persecution than the vast majority of American blacks have had to deal with in living memory. That's just a fact. Your acting as if only black people have been historically mistreated is both ignorant and intolerant, and really quite offensive to the millions of people who have suffered real persecution, but persecution which doesn't count because they were "white."

3. How can you not realise that saying "so and so can't have an opinion on this matter, because he is white" is an unequivocally racist statement? Talk about stupid.

"Just that it's better not to obsess about such things because you cannot control what other people think, and you should be content with not caring what they think. In a free society there are always going to be people who hold opinions you think repugnant."

This is very ironic considering you are trying to control how people(Knoe Itawl) feel and think, and you obviously care about what they(Knoe Itawl) think about racists and racism in general.

Stop being a gigantic hypocrite and take your own advice. This is a free society, and there are always people who hold opinions you think repugnant. Even if those opinions are about how racism is awful and should not be tolerated or even completely disregarded as you would like to see it with your "get over it" approach.

Bro, being call an "ape" is considered pejorative because they are used to refer to something that is primitive or subhuman in nature. Also, there are more important traits to humans than merely athletic ability. What distinguishes us from other animals is our intellect. We were able to remove ourselves from the food chain, although we, like you said, wouldn't stand a chance going up against an ape.
