    The sad part about this if things like this were said against the alphabet community or the Jewish community more people would have a problem with it, but because it’s directed to the black community it’s all good smh

    The Bully does not even know his heritage before coming against us Africans. He forgot to know that if you attack one African, that means you have attacked all Africans. He does not even know that the Blacks in Cuba where he comes from, are mainly from Angola, Nigeria, and Equatorial Guinea. So because he escaped from Fidel Castro in a canoe so he is all that. Why didn't he get a ring in the NBA? Does he know how many Africans have NBA rings and many other achievements from around the World. Does he even know how much work these African NBA stars are doing in Africa to better their people's lives. What has he done for Cuba? Zero. Does he know how many kids in Cuba go bare feet and need shoes that he is bullying us about? He needs to think about that before he tries to bully Loul Deng's effort.

    Relisten to Gil's comments. He was basically saying that how can the USA with such advantages and high tech amenities allow a third world nation's basketball team whose resources are primitive compared to that of the USA come that close to defeating the Empire?
    Gil's emphasis, which was hyperbolic when talking about the differences between the haves and the have not Nations, was purposed to shame the USA team, not to shame the Sudan team. Gil even threw in a comparison with the "Cool Runnings" movie.
    I say, to all who found Gil's words to be demeaning to the Sudanese team, which was not aimed towards the Sudanese people, what have YOU done for South Sudan lately?
    It was poetic, it was damn funny, and I am going to listen to it several more times because I feel the same way that Gil felt when he said it. Other's also felt the same way when they belittled the USA's performance against South Sudan. Many likely thought it but didn't say openly why this near-miss didn't make sense.
    Here's Gil's😂 punchline: How can a team with such little resources compete on the same level with a team that has every available resource?
    The contract of just one of the USA team's players can feed and develop South Sudan for decades to come. That's the real conversation to be had. Not this fake indignation coming from folks who don't give a damn about South Sudan or its surrounding African neighbors.

  • @user-ng4nn4zw6r

    One last elaboration:
    The question is
    Would Gilbert Arenas have made that particular video highlighting the economic differences and amenity disparities between the USA team and the South Sudan team had the USA team beat the South Sudan team by 43 points as it was predicted that they would do prior to the teams playing against each other?
    The answer is NO!!!
    There would have been no need to do so.
    Thus, Gil's video was not purposed to stomp on the Sudan Team but to stomp on the USA team. In other words, the USA did a little with a lot whereas the South Sudan team did a lot with a little - primitive resouces versus high tech resources. The jokes were meant to emphasize the difference between the two. I doubt that South Sudan basketball players are running around with poisonous blow darts in their duffle bags
    By emphasizing, even hyperbolically, the differences between the amenities and resources of the USA in comparison with that of South Sudan, Gilbert further attempted to shame TEAM USA, not to shame Team South Sudan or its people. The entire joke was meant to discredit Team USA.
    Now, the real issue is this, since so many in the USA have expressed righteous indignation about Gilbert comedically pointing out the vast disparities between the two teams (and nations), what are the offended Americans going to do to lessen the necessities gap between the USA and South Sudan?
    Oh yes, it's easy to feign offense at another for pointing out a problem but it's harder to do something about that problem when it's placed in front of you.
    Convert into financial donations to South Sudan some of that anger towards Gilbert for comedically stating, although hyperbolically, points concerning the economic disparities between the two nations.
    Otherwise, South Sudan really ain't getting love, just lip-service.
