NBA bust Gilbert Arenas, who last played for a Chinese basketball team decided to take to his Instagram today to talk about Rev. Al Sharpton and give his thoughts on the Mike Brown shooting. Predictably, Arenas quickly made a fool of himself, calling Sharpton a “coon” and a “thot’ for heading to St. Louis to assist in the Ferguson, Missouri unrest.
Here’s what Arenas had to say:
“I would like to start off by saying too the family of the victim GOD BLESS#RIPmichealbrown you will be missed: too EVERY African American out there..how dumb are we really???every time we hear some bad news, the first thing we do is #RIOT #ROB #STEAL #BURN sh-t in our OWN neighborhoods..this racism fight has never been #blackvswhite, it’s ALWAYS been #blackvsblack from what the stats.. About 10 riots from the black community over the years and the only thing damaged ,was the BLACK COMMUNITY by The BLACK COMMUNITY..only reason they issue riot police isssss just in case you actually got smart enough to walk 6 blocks ,YALL ain’t f-cking up white rich sh-t smdh”
“FAMILiES of the victims pleaseeeeee stop asking #alsharpton to speak or ur behalf,you have a better chance having #caesar the monkey from #planetoftheapes to get justice for you..the stats also show AL coon sharpton has not helped one situation he has protested at,he actually made it worst and because of him the jury goes the other way..(think about it) Jena six,trayvon and the list goes back way back..#AL ur like a #THOT in the club,lookn for attention what u said at trayvons rally #enoughisenough ur right were tired of u PRETENDING”
Of course, Arenas, who says that he’s given over $100,000 to D.C. school while he played for the Washington Wizards and that he gave away $300,000 worth of shoes to needy kids, didn’t mention his own stupidity got him drummed out of the NBA.
You may remember that Arenas was suspended in 2010 when he and Wizards teammate Javaris Crittenton pulled multiple guns on each other during a dispute over a card game on Christmas Eve of 2009. Arenas pled guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge in 2012 and served two years of probation.
The NBA suspended him for 50 games and he last played in the NBA for the Memphis Grizzlies in 2012. (Arenas still collects a lucrative NBA contract and will through 2015, he said recently.) Crittenton was also suspended and was ultimately released by the Wizards, his last NBA team. In 2013, he was indicted on murder charges in Georgia.
Arenas has four children with longtime girlfriend Gloria Govan, who appeared on Basketball Wives: LA. Her sister Laura Govan is married to L.A. Clipper Matt Barnes and was also part of the Basketball Wives franchise.
