Thread about racist NBA team owners

New racist comments emerge

"It's the world! You go to Israel, the blacks are just treated like dogs," the man says.

He says there are white Jews and black Jews, and they are treated 100% differently.

"And is that right?" the woman asks.

"It isn't a question -- we don't evaluate what's right and wrong, we live in a society. We live in a culture. We have to live within that culture," the man replies.

"I support them and give them food, and clothes, and cars, and houses. Who gives it to them? Does someone else give it to them? Do I know that I have -- Who makes the game? Do I make the game, or do they make the game?"

Black Jews in Israel are treated pretty much the same

but it's amusing the lesson he's learning is "obviously we should be like these other people who are more racist"

[Sava]

Who makes the game? Do I make the game, or do they make the game?"

Neither. It's the slovenly mass of idiots who watch sports. Both players and owners are nothing without the money that people pay to watch that (mostly) garbage.

Sidebar but that last quote made me think about league commissioner salaries. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made $44M last year, over twice what JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon was blasted for earning. Add in that the NFL is a tax-empt non-profit and you really have to wonder about how we structure professional sports in this country.

I wonder what our most vocal supporters of high salaries as economic justice think?

IIRC Israel went and airlifted a whole bunch of black jews out of Ethiopia to save their lives...if they were racist, they woulda just let them die...

Did you forget the race riots in Tel Aviv in 2012 concerning African immigrants? Did you forget the depo-provera sterilization program conducted on Ethiopian Jews that was confirmed in 2013?

From IRIN on the 'tribulations of being an Ethiopian Jew':

Growing up in Israel, Shay Sium became accustomed to being called a “******”.

Sium, 32, has lived in Israel most of his life, but says he and other Ethiopian Jews are treated differently from other Israelis: factories do not want to employ them; landlords refuse them; and certain schools turn away their children.

"The word discrimination doesn’t describe what we experience. There is another word for it: racism. It is a shame that we still have to use this word today,” he told IRIN.

The NFL is a really really profitable and valuable enterprise and the people who run it are therefore worth a lot of money.

Should it be tax exempt? Probably not. Would that reduce the top executives' salaries? Maybe some.

Yah, sports leagues being non-profits is absurd. Although if they weren't they'd still not pay taxes because (and I quote, because it's so well-said ... ), "You see, we have to declare losses this year as start-up costs to cover expenses occurred by the war with Aldebaran 5 in 83,000 AD."

[Sava]

No entity should be considered non-profit if the employees make more than the median US income.



and yes, that goes for all the liberal hippies working in nonprofits

Also, the maximum wage should be $500k. Everything above that is taxed at 90%

and if I see that ugly asian hooker again, with gums bigger than her already insanely large teeth, well... i will be even more mad

[The Mad Monk]

apparently she is African-Mexican.

[Sava]

mexicans are just asians that came over 10,000 ago... or whenever that librul bull**** ice age happened
