Arenas as reported by Fadeaway World raged over USA’s below-par performance against South Sudan basketball team, before making racist reference to African society.
“The males almost lost to some Africans. We almost lost and the King had to save us. I know the LeBron haters are mad. We almost lost to the ‘Ahi Ahi’ tribe, this is crazy,” he said.
Arenas indicted Joel Embiid who was born in Cameroon, referring to him as a cousin of the South Sudanese basketball team.
“Man, Embiid over there goddamn throwing the game because he’s throwing the game for his cousins and shit. We’re not supposed to be losing to them. Come on man! Cool runnings? We’re not supposed to lose to some Cool Runnings team. They don’t even have shoes! They get shoes from America, we have to ship them shoes.”
“We’re losing to people who are shooting on peach baskets, in dirt, no shoes.”

Wow.
Look at his big nose.
His head is huge, but it’s also empty. And like an empty barrel, he’s producing all kinds of noise.
Making fun of opponents who are less fortunate than he is from an economic perspective? How low and classless!
What a senseless clown.
Black on black racism at its finest.
And to think this is an African American, people who have cut themselves off from their African roots and cultural values.
He should remove the AFRICAN from his ethnic identity. Let him just be AMERICAN.
America can have him. Africa is better off without idiots like him.
The fool has been under fire ever since. Social media users have been giving him wotowoto. Serves him right!
