I love it when gameface has the opportunity to just GO OFF like that... it's a nice salve for his otherwise broken-hearted, lukewarm, and intractable libertarian angst. Thank you jazzfanz, Hayward, and Mr. Castleton.

(first update) Offseason to-do list:
(no order)
1. Let Mo, Foyeeee3, Al (s&t?), Watson, and Tinsley go.
2. Re-sign Carroll
3. Draft McCollum, Schroeder, and Giannis (leave the latter two in Europe for a year [maybe two years for Giannis]).
4. Sign Tony Allen
5. Try to keep Millsap. If that doesn't work, explore s&t options.
6. Remove Corbin. Hire Brad Stevens or SVG.
7. Sign Calderon to a one-year (2 max) deal, or see if the cash-strapped Lakers will let us absorb Nash's last year.
The last sentence is correct. The others, not so much.Originally Posted by Hack
Since racism is a power imbalance based on punching down, there is no reverse racism, because that would be punching up.
no its wrong because racism is racism. regardless of skin tone, economic or political power or any other ******** metric used to "measure" it.
I disagree. You can still have racism in an equal "power" situation.
Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
How so? I guess if you just don't like a diff race but have no power over them you would be racist, but it would be pointless racism since nothing is being gained.
Never thought of it that way, but I guess I never really viewed racism as having a pre-requisite of power gained. I always considered it just a general dislike of another race. What about poor minorities? Can they not be racists against wealthy majorities?
Or did I totally miss the point?

They can be racist but does anyone give a ****? The only time racism is really a problem is when one race is holding another down. I dont care if an african american doesnt like me, but if he doesnt like me and is my boss then there is a problem.
So you have to gain something for it to be true racism?
I disagree.
One Brow would like to speak with you.
Ok so let me get this straight.... so if an african american does not like you because you are white but he doesn't have more money, higher job status, or power over you then who cares?
So basically if an african american who is broke and has no job decides to burn your house down just because he doesn't like the fact that you are white then you would consider that to be ok?
Why? Was what I said racist?
........................................................................................................................ ...
Well you can not truly understand racism since you are not black or hispanic. Therefore any insights you have are less than true insights. But yes, you are white and therefore racism is in your blood.
That seems fairly One Browish.
The fact that anyone would even ask this question ticks me off. If you are on our team, then we don't care about your skin color, religion, or non-criminal off the court issues. When you play like crap you will be called out, and when you play well you will be praised. 'nuff said
I know we've had a discussion where I explained why that is not like my posiiton at all. I supposed I am expecting too much for you to remember that.
