The originating sin of America is slavery, for which reparations should be paid and will never be paid; as a result, mini-reparations are paid daily, and the NBA remains, for me, reparations theater.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Slavery, our country's original sin, sat on a foundation codified by laws enforced by police, by slave-catchers.
Look, we play the Star Spangled Banner before every game. You want us to pay income taxes, too?
I think that America in general is piratical. Every time we accept a paycheck for doing almost nothing, allowing us to live above the poverty line, we're engaging in piracy.
The wages of sin are death, but by the time taxes are taken out, it's just sort of a tired feeling.
The NBA is becoming a global game.
The country in which reparations actually happen is a very different one than the one we live in.
For the sin they do by two and two they must pay for one by one.
It is a sin to be poor.
Prosperity often leads to pride, which leads to sin.
There is no original sin. You don't have to pay repentance to anything or anybody.
