Rick Strom breaks it down. Give us your thoughts in the comments below!

Jesus didn't free the slaves, so let's cancel him too. Great moments in history are accomplished by people who did bad things by today's standards. Don't forget indigenous people did awful things too.
He is speaking nothing but the TRUTH!
black & brown ppl. had CIVILIZATION'S whilst white ppl. were in caves' Matt Walsh
Assassination Day ! Ewwww sick.
Australia has a day we call Invasion Day, colonists call it Australia Day. It’s a celebration of the start of Genocide of my fathers people. Colonists have been trying to wipe out the First Nation people here. Colonists branded all First Nation around the world as Animals, that way they can commit genocide without guilt. Our people were trading with the Asian nations before colonialism.
Lol, their name are the Clovis people? Really?
To be fair, Italians were not considered "powerful whites" back in those days. Perhaps this was some sort of bone thrown to help Italians/Italian-americans to gain more clout in the community?
Let’s get the dude with the sledge hammer to mt. rushmore next.
Pale people discovered Nothing, there were people on those lands already. Pale people own nothing outside of where they evolved, Northern Europe. UK and most of Europe had/have indigenous people that aren’t pale. Pale people are Nordic only.
He fed people to dogs.
Shut up and……instruct people how to dribble…..better.
He's very good. I might add.
Preaching?? more like quoting facts.
I don’t see anyone give property acres back to indigenous people…fake woke people complain about Columbus but no one goes to reservations to help native Americans…if the outrage is real go fake wake people and help give your money and time to indigenous people you won’t.Native Americans have got treated unfairly among other groups but the woke the govt ain’t no one helping these people.
Love me some Pop!
I agree with everything except I will not allow these tragedies to be laid at the doorstep of Christianity that is not what Christ taught what you're talking about is white supremacy
The truth is the truth.
I am a hardcore Laker fan but Greg Popovich has made me a fan of his for years. Thank you coach.
That’s why the true history should be taught and not ignored
In fairness Colombus needs to be rededicated in schools. Americs is woke now lol
Who was the moron that claimed Columbus brought civilization to the America’s. I’m pretty sure every native of. North and South America prays that you take your kind of civilization back. Apparently they were doing just fine for 11,000 years before they knew you existed.

I appreciate Pops comments. He definitely comes across as a man who has an above average grasp of American history.
It felt good to watch these limbs fly off. I wish we could do this to the living racist
Retire
The Democrats recently helped create a modern day slave trade in Libya. Please teach that in school
U can buy a black slave in Libya for around $400. Thank you Democrats
You do not see Germany celebrating Hitler. But America loves its white killers.
Pop got one thing wrong. Columbus wasn’t Italian, he was born in Cuba, Portugal.
There were many great advanced civilizations of the Americas that predated Columbus by thousands of years. The campaign to rape, pillage, plunder, & exploit this "new world" ("ha"!) for the benefit of the church ranks right near the top of the list of the greatest vile crimes ever committed against humanity!
Religion. . . the single greatest barbaric EVIL mankind has ever invented! We will NEVER advance as a species until we
shrug off these insane chains of malevolent organized oppressive ignorance!
Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !
Tappin' in from South Central LA

This statement alone can be used as a barometer for why it's a complete waste of time and energy to have conversations about race with a lot of non-melanated people. These types consider the actions of columbus as "civilized". There was nothing even REMOTELY civilized about what that filth and the filth he represented did ! FUKKUM.
Alamo Heights is an incorporated city in North Central San Antonio. They have some of the highest taxes and are a very affluent part of the city.
If a kid goes to Alamo Heights, you know their folks have money.
This is what speaking truth to power looks like. 100 Pop.
He is a basketball coach….not a genius…he should talk more about blacks….he spends time with them…
Pop and Kerr bring class to the NBA and the world. If Kyrie only had a fraction of Pop's intellect, empathy and curiosity, then he could probably become a role model.
