anyone can be generous, taking a stand that will effect you personal is rare.
donating money is the lowest form of generosity.
IMO…all forms of generosity are equal to each other but it’s the degree of personal sacrifice, that denotes the level of that gift in the eyes of The Lord.
Perpetrated by his own freaking words bud not the Russian collusion liars!

True but one country ran by is a totalitarian communist dictator, while the other side gets to choose who they want in power every four years that has to account for some difference?
Hong Kongers aren’t being discriminated against. The unpopular extradition law that failed to pass would have affected them all equally.
Supporting BLM is a completely different issue than supporting foreigners in their own country protesting for greater political autonomy.

I have the same frustration with a lot of his critics. There’s a lot more patience for Hong Kong protesters, than there is for social justice protesters in the US on the same or similar issues.
He’s wrong on Hong Kong but the backlash is way out of proportion with his error.
I disagree. James has done what he’s complained about re: social issues here. He has spoken up and decried someone taking a stand against oppression. Worse, the oppressing entity he’s defending is guilty of levels of oppression much greater than what he’s decried here in the States. And he did so because of the almighty dollar. It’s disgusting.
Wrong.
Supporting BLM is completely different than what the HK protesters are seeking. One is a social issue; the other political. Morey is a moron. Simple as that. His tweet was ambiguous and could have easily been interpreted as supporting HK becoming an independent state.

China accounts for ~10% of the NBA’s revenue. That means that China is paying a tad over 5% of every NBA player’s salary.

Well, isn’t that a ridiculous false dichotomy. As if the “political” protests in HK aren’t grounded in China’s human rights issues
Here’s an article that pretty much encapsulates how I think about the issue:

Ironic. Taking a knee is now a capitalist money-making scheme.
