Will any touch South Central LA? Asking for the community...

Oh bullsht!!!! What about the Native American, Hispanic, And yes even the little white children who’s parents are one paycheck away from eviction? FN racist!

NBA foundation should support all communities. If this was reversed for any other race it will be call out as “racist”.
