‘quick little monkeys,’
« on: May 17, 2016, 10:58:25 AM »
Steven Adams calls Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson ‘quick little monkeys,’ apologizes

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/thunder-adams-calls-curry-thompson-quick-monkeys-article-1.2639510

Guarding Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson is no easy task, Thunder center Steven Adams learned Monday night. But describing that challenge is what got the Thunder center in trouble following Game 1.

“I don’t envy guards mate. They’re quick little monkeys, those guys,” Adams told ESPN on the court after Oklahoma City’s 108-102 win.

Adams, 22, later admitted to using “a poor choice of words.”

“I wasn’t thinking straight. I didn’t know it was going to upset anyone, but I’m truly sorry,” Adams told USA Today. “It was just a poor choice of words. I was just trying to express how difficult it was chasing those guys around.”

People need to stop taking everything so seriously.

Honest mistake from a different country and people use different phrases. No big deal.

What he said is lingo for little black man.  Although he's claiming it's just an expression, it's an expression used in NZ and Australia to describe the quick little dark men from Africa.

Yes but that phrase from the different country is in reference to Africans.   Just wish we'll eventually hear quick little Hebrews on TV.

Yes, in reference to them being black.  These NZ and Aussies are racist as fuck.

Point is, he wasn't referring to the players as monkeys because of their phenotype. It was because of the agility and shiftiness of the players. If whites had these skills, same could be said of them.

Oh I see.  He forgot to mention the word "porch" in front of monkeys or is that also a cute foreign saying?

Black people must think they resemble monkeys otherwise they wouldn't get so butthurt when someone compares them to one.

Plus, if we all evolved from apes, then why is it an insult to be compared to a monkey or an ape?  We pretty much are apes...all of us.  White and black.

Bottom line, this is just more blacks being self-conscious about how they look.  Taking out their self-loathing on whites.
