Huzzah! Racist crackers to form their own basketball league!

[Caligastia]

When did he say that?

I didn't. Mr Fun just has some growing up to do.

[MrFun]

Aren't you a white gay man? I don't know if you can seriusly call someone a "white boy" if you are white. It just comes off a bit like this guy...

Yes, I am a white cracker.

Oh, and thanks for quoting my post before I corrected my spelling.

[David Floyd]

Well, it certainly is true that the NBA is more akin to show boating street ball than a team sport these days.

Additionally, I see nothing wrong with a white-only league; hell, if someone started a black only league (or any organization) most of you ****ing liberals *****ing about it now would simply praise it as a way of empowering the black community.

Personally, I'm for strictly enforcing every law on the books, and strictly enforcing sentencing guidelines, to get as many blacks behind bars as possible. I guarantee the crime rate would go way down. That may be racist, but it's true. As has been accurately pointed out, blacks commit the majority of crime, and the vast majority of violent crime, as adjusted for demographics.

Holy ****, this rhread has really brought 'em all out from under their rocks, hasn't it?

Why would anyone even take anything you say seriously? You're obviously prejudice, so by definition your words have little value.

[Heraclitus]

I don't think many blacks get out of crimes they commit by playing the race card except perhaps in high profile cases. But this is true of all people who can politicize their case. So DF while I do agree justice should be blind I don't think we are that far away from this.



I think the higher crime rate is probably at least partially the result of low academic achievements. I think they could do somewhat better with a less self-destructive culture (1st generation Caribbean Blacks are an example of this).

Depends on the audience

Yup, and I reckon the increasing absence of Fathers in the Black American home has also wreaked havoc. There's no doubt that they can do better.

Will KFC be a corporate sponsor?

Dino:
This is a peculiarly American stereotype. In Australia it really has no meaning, and is simply a KFC ad. Most Australians--the vast majority, most likely--either don't understand how Americans created racist stereotypes revolving around food (of all things), or do not even know of them.

In short it's just an ad.

[Elok]

How about the bit where dingos regularly carry off your babies? Are you touchy about that? Or, come to think of it, does that count as a stereotype about food too?

[Zevico]

I'm just vaguely irritated that people suppose that Australian racist stereotypes are identical to American ones. We have our own, damnit!

We agree on something.

Psalm 146:7-9

He upholds the cause of the oppressed ... The Lord sets the prisoners free.. the Lord loves the righteous... but he frustrates the ways of the wicked

[Dinner]

I had to agree with that. Whites are 79.96% of the population so we aren't exactly a minority and these guys are just bad players who are tired of losing to better black players. Well, that and they're just racist against blacks.

Actually its 75.05% of the population.

Also considering most elderly aren't competetive basketball players this map demonstrates that there are fewere whites competing with blacks than one might naivley think.



From lightest to darkest (% of minority students):
4.1-15.9%
16-27.8%
27.9-45.6%
45.7-95.7%

You are ok with disproportional (ie meritocratical)representation ? If so, do you support attempts to increase the proportion of non-Asian minorities in intelectually demanding fields to representative numbers?


Also why are black, lation, asian only organizations ok? Yes whites are a majority in most of the US, and thus have some priviliges. Being a minority sucks badly in all the polical and economic systems ever tried, that's why people try to get out of it by forming nationstates (19th, 20th century Europe) or by keeping checks on immigration to ensure they keep their majority status (Japan, Israel, ect. ). But Hawaii dosen't have a majority race, is it therefore ok for whites to have white only organizations in Hawaii? Or is it wrong for Blacks, Asians, Natives or Lations to have exclusive organizations there?
