The Golden State Warriors had veteran Draymond Green back from knee-related rest for their comeback 123-105 win over the Portland Trail Blazers Tuesday, the last day of Black History Month. After contributing 12 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds in the victory, Green posed some earnest questions.
“At some point, can we get rid of Black History Month? Why do we get the shortest month to celebrate our history?” Green asked.
Green was responding to a question about George Clinton, a funk musician. Clinton's music is often centered in conversations about an art genre that centers Black history and culture via science fiction, often with a consideration of slavery“I don’t listen to George Clinton every day, but what I do want to go back to is Black History Month,” Green said. Noting that he only wore the NBA’s celebration-themed shirts because he couldn’t find anything else, Green made it clear that his issue is not the celebration of Black history.
"We've got governors who want to take our history out of schools, and I'm not going to be the fool to say, 'Yeah, we can celebrate it for 28 days,'" Green added."So at some point, I'd like to get rid of it. We're making all these changes in the world — can't talk about these people can't say this, can't say that.
With their third straight win, the Warriors enter March with the fifth seed in the Western Conference and a 32-30 record.
