Etan has his own perspective bias and an 'interest' in finding this type of controversy. I'm darker than Etan and have a different perspective. I pretty much agree with what Jackson said: about prison-inspired clothing trends (not exclusive to Black people), about the ludicrous efforts to 'brand' equity efforts with platitudes on the jerseys... Yeah, it was a quaint notion for the NBA to be involved in those politics, but the execution was primitive and unsustainable. None of the actual substance of the issue was ever addressed. Some NBA player wearing a shirt that said "Respect us"—just insipid and possibly as harmful as helpful.
