Very little. As a stand alone point, it’s a good one. As relates to Bryant, it’s little more than Huggy’s racism.

The point was to show how white supremacy works, kind of like how you comfortable in stating that it was a FACT that Kobe raped the woman, despite the prosecution not being able to prove thier case.

Again with dishonesty, I never once stated that it was a "FACT" that he raped her, I said that based on his statements and the medical evidence I think that he did rape her. Also I fail to see how saying Kobe Bryant raped the girl is an example of how white supremacy works. As far as the prosecution proving the case, we will never know because it never got to trial, we could also say he shelled out 2.5 million to the girl to buy her silence.
Nobody is disputing that racism exists and posting a video of a cop assaulting a teen doesn't reveal anything about the Kobe Bryant case or how race impacted it.

Really? Explain this statement.

One is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, Kobe was not proven guilty, yet in your eyes that does not matter he is still guilty.

To be completely blunt, thinking that a person committed a crime that they weren't convicted of isn't any indication of how white supremacy works..and in the context of the NBA...as you keep insisting - the fact that he didn't get convicted and that his continued acceptance was predicate on earning well for his corporate masters is probably a better demonstration of how white supremacy works.

"I lean towards the fact that she was raped" is not the same statement as "It's a fact she was raped". Exactly what I said before the evidence is pointing me in the direction that she was raped. One is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, what happens in my mind is my own business.

No, no,, Not 'thinking' he committed a crime, claiming as 'fact' he committed a crime, aka "I'm white and I say so"....

In white supremacist wonderland, Kobe would have hung. Guilt and innocence are irrelevant. The only reason he didn't..in white supremacist wonderland, was because he was worth more to his owners alive.
Kobe's statement leaves only two possibilities. Either this was an honest mistake between two very different points of view, as he insists...or, as you've insisted, there's no ambiguity here....and he raped that girl. I'm fairly certain that a person skewing towards the latter doesn't need any white supremacist pump to get them there. Just your own insistence that any such ambiguity is bullshit, and the fact that the event in question did occur.
