New Orleans Pelicans head coach Stan Van Gundy said white people are "racist" and need to change to help African Americans. “We’re the ones that are racist,” Van Gundy told ESPN’s The Undefeated in an interview. “It’s a white person’s problem that affects people of color, and so we’re the ones who have to change. … Certainly you want to promote Black voices, right? But if they’re the only ones speaking out, a lot of people just push it aside. There needs to be people saying, ‘No, wait a minute. This is wrong, and we need to correct these things.’” Van Gundy said that he is part

Man is he in trouble. This guy has acute White Savior complex. Thinks the Blacks need him to fix things for them.

He's in New Orleans, mostly dims, who are mostly racist.
So of course he sees white people as racists. New orleans is the people who stole the money for buiilding the flood prevention levies. So no doubt coach will steal anything that isn't nailed down. He must have stolen something so he's crowing about whatever it is he's blabbling about to divert attention.

He should demonstrate his social justice beliefs by changing the racial composition of his team to that of the entire U.S.
That would be an excellent first start.

Let's just ban all white folks from having anything to do with the NBA. They can get all black coaches and the other 15% of the players not black. This would also include having no white fans. Now let's see how long the NBA survives after that. Course, since it's only a game, they should be happy to play for free.

So long as Van Gundy accepts payment to be the white privileged "overseer" of his black "slave" players telling them when to play on the court and when to sit on the bench, he will remain the 100% pandering virtue-signaling phony he is.

I wish these clowns would give some examples of current racism when they make statements. I don’t think family values, work ethic, education, or conservativism falls in the racism category.

Your typical liberal piece of white trash. You break your rear end getting an education, learning a trade, working two jobs to support your family and raise your kids the right way. That's not privilege, its called personal responsibility. You see, some people are taught morals, values and respect for authority at home at an early age. Blacks have the same opportunity, if they fail at it, it is not my problem. The culture of violence in the black communities is something that people like this moron are afraid to address and racism has nothing to do with it..

When there is so much blather, and no proffered remedy, you can bet it is a fabricated "problem", with the speaker simply virtue signaling.

This is an interesting phenomenon in our culture today. It is the Act of Contrition for the Church of Liberalism, and is meant as a socially just mea culpa, when in fact, it is the height of arrogance and pride. It is narcissism on steroids, and has been one of the main ways the devil has made such inroads in the culture. The truly penitent stay in the back of the church, beating their breast, asking for God’s forgiveness.

Advantage for Van Gundy but not for you average white folks. What a freakin' hypocrite!
I'll bet Van Gundy was a ho-hum player, but he's white, so he's smarter than the black players; that's why he's a coach.
Since he labels himself a poster boy, maybe BLM could hunt him down and shoot him. They'd get away with it too.

Lots of black people do well in our society, across all walks of life. Lots of black people don't do well in our society. So, what has been the life and circumstances of successful blacks compared to those that haven't done so well? I would think that those differences would be obvious and tell us a lot. I think it goes back to the family situation that a black kid grows up in, starting with the parents and what they learn, or not learn from the parents. I would like to hear from those like Van Gundy who obviously have seen these situations, and what they think. I don't think it has anything to do with racism. In fact, any racism may be caused by the unsuccessful blacks lifestyle Correct me if I am wrong..

If I hate one category of people, it's virtue signalers. I don't know how Coach Van Gundy lives with this level of guilt--no doubt justified in his peculiar case--but if I had to live with such a self-imposed millstone around my guilty neck, gravity and descending to the deeps would seem welcome relief. As David Lee Roth used to sing alongside Eddie Van Halen, "Might as well jump. Go ahead, jump." Do it, you royal-assed, guilt-ridden repository of whiteness. Why live?

Van Gundy says, “he is part of the problem, he’s led a privileged life,” and is a “poster boy for white privilege.” That sounds like Van Gundy feels guilty. I have a suggestion for how Stan can fix his guilt: donate 1/2 his assets and 1/2 his salary to the United Negro College Fund. Give away your privilege Stan. Your privilege is undeserved.

NBA, why do you discriminate against white players. I do not believe you cannot find a white player from anywhere in the world.

Perfectly understandable that he wants to appease the oppressed multimillionaires he has to coach. But apparently he, his players, and the NBA league offices have forgotten the people who are the ultimate source of their revenue.

Yep. Give your job to a black person who probably isn't as good a coach as you are if you feel you are racist. Stop assuming the rest of us are racists Spanky. Speak for yourself.

To the NBA's players, coaches, employees and owners, stop it. You don't need to continue this. You have pushed all the white racist, privileged fans away. We are not coming back. No need to keep trying to drive us away. Just one question, when you finally move your back players and white privilege coaches to China (incredibly racist country) will you change from the NBA to then CBA (Communist Basketball League)?

Man who makes a fortune coaching a playground game for children says all white people are racists who keep the bLACK man down. He pins a target on white people's backs but stops short of handing his salary and wealth over to the bLACK Community, which is OK because he says he's the poster boy of white privilege.
