Is "posse" a bad word?

[Knicksfever2010]

I don't think so, what say you?

[CuhGetsBucks]

It's not a bad word, it was just a poor choice of words when referring to a person and his business partners.

When you think of posse you think of what Tupac or Biggie had, entourage of people following a G for protection.

Not business partners and an agent. That's all that it is.

I thought Jax meant "pvssies". Oh well...

Did you really think this is worth a thread?
There's already 2 threads about the exact same thing right above this one

I think Lebron's camp is overreacting to a simple word

this is a very serious matter..


it needs to be addressed on all fronts.

I never thought it was a derogatory term. It's just a different word other than friiebds, partners, crew, squad.

You are probably enjoying it. LeBron > Kobe.

Because morons like you are annoying.

LeBron and his fanboys are exactly the same. Front running, hyper sensitive children.

[Asukal]

LeCryBaby probably heard "pvssy" and got all sensitive and shit.

[kamil]

LeBron* is as thin skinned as Donald Trump.

Is there anyone who believes pj didnt mean it as a pejorative? Pj is a pretty articulate guy, him using that word isnt happenstance it was meant to be snarky, dismissive and condescending. He would have referred to them as Lebron's "boys" if he thinks he could have gotten away with it.

Make no mistake, pj resents that today's player has so much power, particularly young black men who he deems as being inept and unqualified to wield the power they do. Well sorry Phil nepotism/good ol boy network has been a vestige of the "establishment" for aeons, what's good for the goose....

Everyone loves the black man so long as he stays in his place, the minute he dares weild any POWER or assume ANY sort of unapologetic autonomy, THAT'S when there is a problem.

I agree it was meant to be snarky. I do not think it should be headline news. The thing about the comment was I don't believe his intent was to paint LeBron and his friends as "ghetto" ... but he was purposely making a statement about how the normal rules of the NBA do not apply to LeBron.

Seems like controversy for the sake of controversy. But, that dominates much of the news cycle these days, so maybe that's what the people want.
