Comments on: The Cat Who Called Dikembe a Monkey During a Game Is Back http://thestartingfive.net/2008/08/16/the-cat-who-called-dikembe-a-monkey-during-a-game-is-back/ Bangin’ and Scorin’ Every Trip Down the Floor Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:49:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: TC http://thestartingfive.net/2008/08/16/the-cat-who-called-dikembe-a-monkey-during-a-game-is-back/comment-page-1/#comment-14873 TC Sun, 17 Aug 2008 18:59:32 +0000 http://thestartingfive.net/?p=1377#comment-14873 Origin - nice to "see" you too. Wish I had more time to track all the doings on all the websites I enjoy. Hope you and Miranda and all the regulars here are doin' OK. Peoples' spirits sound good. Personally, taking self-actualization advice from this guy sounds like George W. Bush opening a leadership institute in the future. I mean, even if you DO have good advice, after saying what you said, why would anyone voluntarily take your advice. High oil prices mean decreasing auto sales cough cough.

I went to his website and checked it out along with his blogs. He doesn't "get it" as far as what happened with Dikembe. In fact I'm not exactly sure what he does get from what I read. Its all over the place about various topics but sadly, racism - its meaning, effects, consequences - is not one of those topics. Interesting.

He sent me a very similar comment. Unlike Delinda however, I ignored his challenge. Since I'm not a big fan of posting URLs in comments, I'll email you the links. Mizzo,

Damn. And please don't gimme that "I came to the US when I was a kid" BS. I also came to the US when I was a kid, from Britain, and learned after that the demeaning meaning of the word monkey with regard to African-Americans. If you're wealthy enough to make all the money he obviously has, you at least have some knowledge of the negative connotation of that term with regard to black folks. Not that money equals brains by any stretch...but that's a really sorry-ass excuse. Some people just born with silver spoons in their mouths. Damn.
