    Bro has not changed that. He gotta punch me or something

  2. traesanity00

    he’s gonna be meeting with adam silver on tuesday

  3. Someone tell Book that if “light skinned reputation” means soft then nothing has changed.

  4. martonio-30

    Vast majority of black male athletes date and marry light skinned woman and have light skinned babies. Then they turn around and make fun of light skinned players? Make it make sense

    Forcing the mascot thrown out is not going to help your reputation

  6. Cavsfan1296

    For a league that hates racism there sure are a lot of racists in it

  7. Oh boy, I love seeing the notoriously diverse r/nba community debate about race!

  8. wubiwuster

    But you complain about being double teamed tho?

  9. mirrorface40234

    This aint that serious he was laughing when he said it

  10. ITT people who have clearly never heard of the concept of colorism and who have never talked with a black person before

  11. The lightskin/darkskin discussion is definitely something I’m not tryna see the primary userbase of r/NBA have at all.

  12. lilachocolate

    we got all the white people in this thread talking abt race like they’re scholars

  13. spacetimecliff

    Judging people by the color of their skin, I feel like there is a word for that.

  14. TinTinsKnickerbocker

    Pretty crazy how you can play like Booker and be seen as soft. NBA fans smh.

  15. CoolManPuke

    Wild that this sort of jargon is still acceptable

  16. bigdickwilliedone

    This colorism shit is colorist no matter if a white person or a black person says it. This negro is dumb dumb dumb for perpetuating stereotypes.

    Who’s going to tell him? And only if you actually give into this whole notion of the darker you are the tougher you are, will you have this kind of soft mindset. I thought the whole light skin vs dark skin beef was more a meme and didn’t actually matter lol.

    It’s pretty dumb that this is ok language. Let’s change up the skin complextion and see how it resonates with everyone.

  19. I mean you are pretty light skinned bro. And those red baby cheeks don’t make you look more menacing

  20. Goatsanity15

    Insert Luka Doncic looking at Devin Booker meme

  21. NatiAti513

    Did he change his skin tone? I’m confused.

  22. Global_Lion2261

    So what does it mean to have a dark-skinned reputation then

  23. retroracer33

    The fact that this kind of rhetoric is accepted is pretty disappointing.

    Always find it pretty wild when minority groups who are constantly looking to end racism and prejudice form racist and prejudice beliefs within their on groups/communities, it does not help.
