Unpacking Boston Celtics' Joe Mazzulla's unwillingness to discuss race | Brother From Another

[@bluezulu]

I am racial. I am not racist. I can and will talk about being black all day. And respect your culture and heritage as well. We all should.

[@fortunbras]

It's really not complicated guys. We literally are livng through a month where people are being celebrated for identifying as nothing (non-binary). His identity is his faith. Plain and simple.

[@SmartDave60]

Joe asked I wonder how many were Christian? Well, ALL NBA coaches have been Christian (or Jewish). There’s been no discrimination against Christian coaches. His response is befuddling.

I love white Jesus

[@justinball5068]

What if I fully agree with coach and extremely happy that people with platforms are giving glory to Christ but don’t drop the “er”?

[@TheRealTruth533]

Joe didn't fall for the bait. He is a God fearing Christian who has no care for racial idolatry. Good job Joe.

[@jasonwolfe3252]

He just became my favorite coach.

[@SmartDave60]

He could have said what you were brave enough to say.

[@tagon70]

Well, he’s biracial.. he might not be equipped to discuss race, especially when his white father was a major influence on him

[@jman1562001]

Both mazzulla and kidd are biracial. Mazzulla father I believe is Sicilian. Of course blackness is not a monolith but I think his father instilled more religious pride from an identity standpoint then race.

He's equipped to lead players to win basketball games. He doesn't look at life the way people want him to

As a minority, just curious, why do we care so much about being a minority? who cares? this is sports channel, lets talk sports. This topic never comes up in Puerto Rico, never comes up Mexico, never comes up in the Philippines?

[@SmartDave60]

We’ve had an historic race problem in the United States. Blacks have been underrepresented in a variety of areas.

[@Smartkid2387]

I’m curious as to how diverse are those countries and what is their history with race. Also what is the big deal about acknowledging race? Why do we have to pretend we that different races exist? It seems to me the issue gets bigger when there is a denial of race.

Joe Missoula is in Black, he's a white adjacent negro.

[@robesonrogers2722]

Because they are all Mexican. But look up the colorism in Latin countries.

Joe Mazzula thinks he's white.

Lakers should hire Dawn Stanley of South Carolina for the Head Coaching Job of the Lakers, or the aces Head coach, these two women's are proven Great Leaders, they should be Coaching in the NBA, Facts. And for the question we are the true peoples of this land, our identity has been stolen, this is Facts, we run around calling ourselves Black that's nonsense, I'm uneducated you guys are educated, this is why I call sports media the knew Plantation Preacher's words have power, Food for thought, we are the true peoples of our land they call America, again Facts. Peace
