You ever wonder how some people just aren't dead yet? Do you marvel at how long they've been able to stay alive when you think about just how stupid they truly are? In my fastidious mind I have often thought some people are so dumb that they need signs throughout their homes telling them to breathe in, and then breathe out. Not inhale, then exhale...that's a little too complicated for them. I put ex NBA All Star and all around dumb ass Gilbert Arenas in that category.
First off the man destroyed his career by bringing four loaded guns to work. I can't imagine what would have happened to me if I brought just one loaded gun to the office, let alone four. Gilbert's place of employment at the time was the crowded Verizon Center Arena where the then lowly Washington Wizards played. He's been the butt of gun jokes since (see what I did there?). Now it seems he's taking to self hatred like poor whites to the conservative party. He recently lambasted Rev. Al Sharpton for showing up in Ferguson, calling him a coon. Now other than a Black man calling another Black man a n*gger, calling one a coon is almost as bad if not the same.
He goes on to denigrate Sharpton further by explaining that whenever the good Reverend shows up somewhere to protest some injustice that's happened to Black people, he usually sways the jury in going "the other way", whatever that means. He also calls Al a THOT, something which I am sure Gilbert has first hand knowledge with being that he played in the NBA and all. This is just sad on so many levels but most of which is that Gilbert was too stupid to figure out that maybe he should be in Ferguson WITH Al instead of bad mouthing the one person who is on the ground and showing support to the people of that suburb so they don't feel like they are fighting this thing on their own and not going to his instagram account and publicly calling out an social activist and TV personality. You don't have to like Sharpton but trying to tear him down and minimize his effect is just what "they" want us to do.
I guess Gilbert misses the spotlight and wanted just a little bit more of it before he ignominiously rides off to the land of irrelevancy. Gilbert, fire your PR rep/firm for not stopping you from making this mistake and next time, shut the fuck up!
