Rob Parker Says Gilbert Arenas Comments on South Sudan Were Disgraceful 

You have my respect brother 🫡

This black American is rooting for South Sudan (except when you play Team USA lol). Best wishes!

Yessir 🫡🫡 🇸🇸 🇸🇸

No yall won't 😂😂

Respect from Gambia

Forgive him for what ... Stop that trash.

"the rest of world to not take Gilbert’s comments as a reflective of his country or community views." Unfortunately I do think it does though for most it takes much milder forms and it's not malicious and comes more out of a place of ignorance (being the world's hegemonic power means you don't have to learn about other countries/cultures in the way others have to learn about yours). Xenophobia/nativism towards immigrant and non-American groups across racial categories is unfortunately America's other pasttime lol

Thank you my South Sudanese brother. I can assure you 99% of African-Americans do not agree with this fool Gilbert Arenas. Not only has he always been ignorant. You could tell that Gilbert Arenas very mean spirited. I have never liked the guy. He embodies everything wrong with American sports.

We ain't no african Americans. Get yall african ass on. We black Americans. Yall ain't got no connection to us. Foh

⁠Two things can be true I understand what your saying fully I’m an “African American” I don’t even know what that is tbh. What Gil said is NOT a reflection of the ENTIRE Country it’s a part of it just like other ideals that’s ingrained in our nasty history

He's an idiot

He shipped from. And they are shipped from Oregon. Nike Town USA.

Great point!

He never said they were made in the US.

Never said made lmao shipped

You are right. The vitriol was just sad and embarrassing

South Sudan does not need pity. Wars are part of history. Algeria knows it, Ukraine is living it.

I think he has something vs African. He did the same thing to lupita Nyongo. He attacked her skin stone for no reason after she won her Oscar, saying she wasn't pretty.

What did he say about Hakeem olajuwon?

@@fabriceassima4094I’ve noticed the same thing he is very hateful towards Africans

@Ezekiel144k that his off-season workout to nba players is scam, workout that went kobe, LeBron, and many others

​@@fabriceassima4094Its his opinion though, I dont think she's pretty either.

Amazing how everybody is so outraged by this, but never about when these other groups insult us with far, far worse comments.

​@@cliftonconnor9389tell me what popular african that insult you guys on TV.

@@cliftonconnor9389 Facts!! It's interesting to witness. When Sudanese-Americans like Amrou Fidel, aka Myron Gaines from F&F, get on their podcast and social media accounts and call FBAs lazy or pu**y, and other disgusting racial slurs, I never hear the Sudanese community utter a peep.

@@Validtruth-u8u@Validtruth-u8u Myron Gaines, aka Amrou Fidel, from the Fresh and Fit podcast. Amrou has millions of listeners on his podcast and followers on his social media. He says some of the most vile things about Black Americans. He is worse than a Neo-Nazi.

Same here

Exactly!

Why would you respect him in the first place? Lol

Yep.... true colors.

You had respect for him?

Exactly... This is the same 🤡 that once made ignorant, disrespectful posts about dark skin black women, yet has 2 dark skin young daughters...SMH

He's from South Sudan?

@@SCOOBYGD he’s Cuban posing axx a Black American spewing pauedo anti Black vitriol

@@SCOOBYGDhe means his people as in black

Agree1000%. As if he's isn't looking himself at the mirror and what he's seeing is a dark skinned individual regardless if he's Cuban he's still a black man chastising a group of blackmen like him. What a shame..instead of blasting the South Sudanese players, put ur frustration to the US team for playing bad in their exhibition games.

All facts...the Gilbert Arenas podcast is a joke. Just a bunch of wild takes and guys who aren't funny trying to be funny

You mean the same way Rob Parker does everyday?

Gil said what a lot of people were thinking and not to mention it was funny. People are so sensitive nowadays.

@@chrisscott532It was funnyish, but he’s not a comedian and doesn’t get that leeway.

💪🏾🔥

Because black Americans have never been called out on their racism, not just against Africans but all people. Most black Americans think because of slavery they can be racist to any other group with no repercussions.

Sad

😂😂😂😂😂

Someone who actually played since they were a kid made it to the highest form of competition in the game was an all star and all nba had no credentials to talk nba but these guys do because they went to school? Your logic is very skewed.

Crazy at that sounds he's literally made it a point serval times on several shows to "joke" about not being at Arizona for school but just to step to the nba. He's admitted it. But much like some other moron I read in these comments trying to defend him. It's said with some smiles and chuckles so we shouldn't take it seriously and he was "just joking"

I think he was trying to clown and it went south. Because at the time he played if basketball went on strike, by education he would have been the smartest. A 4.0 and graduated doctor

Yea has nothing to do with schooling more about how he was raised. U don’t learn morals at school

Well, Gil DID say on his podcast that he almost never went to class.....

He didn't go for education they paid him to play ball

Unfortunately your comments about him are true. I was a former season wiz ticket holder and watched how he would rather be the team clown than leader

You comment is what happens when revenge of the nerds members cry about athletes having their own platforms. If you don’t like what he’s saying don’t watch! Just like no one is making Rob talk about it for ten minutes on his platform

@@realspitter2727 Comments are open in order for us to express our opinion. And are you willing to defend Arenas's comments?

@@realspitter2727I’d rather be a nerd with a good job than a cool guy who works at Burger King and peaked in high school.

@@cotati76or you could be a cool guy with a cool job

Africans don't like you

Does he not know the only thing separating those sudan guys and gilbert is that his ancestors got sold as slaves. Weirdly proud about that

Best comment of the day!

This story is old and has nothing to do with the topic 😂 Man been retired for almost 15 years and you’re still crying 🤡

@@bizzyb2622 the dude for SOUTH Sudan said himself they don't even have 1 indoor facility in the country. Yall gonna be mad at him too?

How? Gil isnt Sudanese so its not like he's dissing his own ppl. Most African Americans have west african ancestry so theres no relation to somewhere like Sudan. And dont act like all black ppl are the same because we're not. Are Norewgians and Portugese the same ppl?

@@MR12AMAZING I guess, It was just a joke not meant to be taken literally.

​@@rajkaranvirk7525bullshi, he's literally Uncle Ruckus.

​@MR12AMAZING so what's your point? That because Arenas isn't Sudanese it's OK to be a hateful, racist, xenophobe? Says a lot about you that you'd defend that bullshi. I do agree that all Black aren't the same though; clearly many Black people despise Africa and resent and hate anything African; it's nothing new.

How, when he's always capped for bron. He's telling the truth 😅

He is a jealous individual.

You seen his girlfriend? I doubt he’s depressed.

Yepp he laid up with that beautiful lady in Paris​@@kweli05

Hes been depressed since 2012, and he has nothing to do all day other than sit on his couch and make wild takes that prop up LeBron James

Well said. He is living proof that you can’t put a crown on a clown.

Too bad he a millionaire, and we’re commenting on him

Guy had like 3-4 good years where he scored a lot of points on a low fg% and did pretty much nohting else. Then broke down. Didnt win anything meaningful. And the Controversy. I dont get why anyone respects his career

You must have a Gilbert blowup doll.

​@JJ_5289 craziest thing is he has a major platform and is still close to the league. Those commente were on brand and there's never been any pushback from the league in a meaningful way, players don't seem to care, NBA media doesn't say much either.

Lol

Your BEAUTIFUL. This Liberian man is showing love 😘

(Not to play semantics lol) but I think xenophobia is the more accurate term here and, unfortunately, is common in a lot of commentary by other African Americans when it comes to sports (albeit in much milder forms). It reared it's head when Stephen A. Smith pondered aloud why Shohei Ohtani doesn't just speak English (when Smith himself probably doesn't speak Spanish when he vacations in Spanish-speaking Caribbean countries). Or even on this show when they lament the decline in American-born superstars in the NBA when their are plenty of up and coming stars (many black) from Europe, Africa, and Canada. Or saying how to increase the number of "black" players in MLB while excluding Afro-Latino players from the definition of "black" (implying that that term applies exclusively to African Americans). Unfortunately, xenophobia (and its twin nativism) is as American as apple pie and first reared it's ugly head during the mass immigration of Irish and Germans in the mid 1850s.

Stop being sensitive you Africans disrespect black Americans all the time

@@kiroolioneaver8532Gilbert Arenas is not Black American he is Cuban American! Black Americans don’t have anything to do with his comments. A lot of us are tired of people lumping us together when it’s negative but when black immigrants get a degree or do something positive they make sure they acknowledge their home country

@@kiroolioneaver8532Steve A Smith isn’t Black American he is Caribbean!

Right clown

Is it true that many of the Sudanese players never been to South Sudan?

He’s a solid guy, he actually cares about his people.

Because he knows the game and how to play it.

And they were so poor, they ate it.

@@greggibson33why? Like why?

He was using that Lakers money that was paying him I think the Lakers just stopped paying him recently 😂

As he should get off white people been getting away with it for centuries 😂

He's not getting off from real folks, now the ignorant ones most definitely( these will have every skin tone. )

And they have to nerve to say blacks can’t be racist

Black card? Nobody knew he wasn't black lol. I bet ALOT of teammates had no idea...and assumed

More like colorist and nationalist technically.

Agree 100% 😊😊😊

You do realize he is black right? And cuba is a country with a lot of black people.

@@deanjones2 But Cubans are notoriously racist toward black people. Dominicans are just as bad. It's bizarre.

​@jordanross8561 Are people from Pakistan China the same people, their both from Asia?

Gilbert will NEVER sit on a Television platform. And if he does he will get Fired within 3 months.

Sadly there is lots of people who agree with him and tell him to stand by his xenophobia. Look up diaspora wars and you will see lots of 🇺🇸 blacks who make content online to trash and beef with Continental Africans.

If only they knew 🤣

Wait till they hear how he feels about Europeans

Cornball brotha. Rob's words couldn't be more true.

Gilbert Arenas has always been a cornball brother.

He's a cornball. Btw what Rob said about Robert Griffin the 3rd back in 2012 about him being a cornball was true

@@pedrofior2562rob is a cornball brotha

😂😂😂😂😂I was thinking about this when he was talking……

Mother and fathers yet they dint have and indoor court in 2024. . Nubians and Egyptian are different people, it's ok..Egyptians tell you they are a different people by the art worker and writing

@@soda8736 Each African tribe says that they are different people, so if your point was that one is not African or blak, then you made no point. No matter, no other people have an ancient Egyptian or ancient Egyptian-like look to their culture, except Phoenicians, but not quite as strong. Besides, I was talking about the start of civilization in Egypt, came for these South Sudanese types, and they still have ancient Egyptian and Nubian names to this day. Egypt and Nubia or Sudan, are like NY and NJ - joined at the hip.

@@HardCold-Alquan I'm just saying Egyptians and Nubians aren't they same people they speak a different language, they have a different writing script, that the Nubians developed 1000 years after the Egypt script. They also started building pyramids 1000s of years later. They also enslaved Nubians at times and considered them enemies. Look at King Tuts sandals with the Nubians on the bottom and the Lybian.Also the art work of him killing Nubians.

@@soda8736sir south Sudanese, Ethiopians and Somalians are the ancient pharaohs and Egyptian. Learn some African history like really

⁠@@soda8736This is without a doubt the dumbest and most ignorant thing ever said by someone in the internet. Everything in Egypt came from Sudan, civilization, culture, art, and even the pyramids. The Nile River flows north. The Sudanese are the original inhabitants of the Nile River basin. Nilotic people are the darkest and tallest people on the planet. They’ve been in a perpetual war since the 7th century fighting Arab colonizers. You can’t develop your country when you are fighting off a genocide since the 7th century. The fact that they can field a basketball team that for all intents and purposes ran the US Dream Team out the gym is a testament to the ancient badassery of the Nilotic people. The South Sudan team should be celebrated especially if you’re black.

Yeah I know I’m starting to realize that. It’s disappointing

It's not the majority of US it's how the world thinks of Africa. Blame the media for only showing the poorest parts of the continent. The same reason everybody thinks lowly of African Americans: every image of us in the media (music, tv, film and news) is insane and not how we actually are on an individual level.

Well technically speaking Gilbert is an Afro Latino. But I understand what you’re saying

I'm sorry sis but not all of us black Americans are like that. Most of us know that 😢 came from africa and know that at our core we are the same. Unfortunately some us are so damaged from years or systemic racism, oppression and being taught that black skin is ugly, anrd africa is bad that some us subconsciously hate ourselves. This is an example of that.

​@@paragon7atlits white people. They are the media. But at some point we got to get the information on our own. I did.

I’m Black American myself and I hardly feel Patriotic about this Country anymore. Brothers over here go so hard for this Country when the Country has never loved us back🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿

There are players who never been to Sudan , many live in the states and Australia

Remember that basketball is mostly an American game. Not every country play basketball like in America, so it is not an abomination to not find indoor or outdoor basketball court in majority of the countries around the world.

So what?

so what about the "AIY AIY TRIBE" comment?

​@@thesonofqueenidia3007it's a joke... Get over it

Looked like the indiana layup.. for lebron it was very easy...

@jrodzilla24 you must listen to a lot of rob. Discrediting the man for scoring is wild. And he was guarded in both games but I know the truth doesn't matter for some.

It's not ignorance; it's hatred, racism and xenophobia. Simple as that.

Yeah talk down on the USA team... don't insult the opponent...thats common sense

Is this some kind of evolution of a word bron-sexual😂?

Why do you think he has the platform he currently has?

Another lazy ass “whataboutism” argument you just tried.

yeah Rob Parker has this ongoing envy of LeBron it’s so obvious at least be slick about it

​@@michaelwright6795 first of all not everyone is built like Lebron. Literally. No one else but him could've made that play on Team USA and Team Sudan. So obviously other people have to find a different way to score. That's the reality.

Sad truth, you're uninformed and have a bias against Black America. We were the first to shed positive light on Africa.

1 is a nationality and the other is race.

Cubans speak Spanish

One knows how to read and write by the age of 5

Cuban is a nationality with different ethnic groups. "Black" is a colonial term and a social construct. In other words, "race" does not exist in science/biology. There's no genetic markers for "race" because race is made up. It was created to perpetuate a class system and the pseudo supremacy of some people. There is no such thing as a "Black" or "White" race. Cubans just like Black Americans have DNA from different groups that expand different continents. Having dark skin does not make people all the same.

You don't what the majority of black Americans think...

He’s not FBA he’s Cuban

@@Cocoflower528 wth him being Cuban or Mulan or Dutch gotta do with majority of black Americans thinking the same way about it

We don't stop trolling
