If by "this", you are referring to the post to which I responded (the one by Hack), then yes. One part of living in a racist society is that those with priviledge feel they are in a position to decide whether their priviledge is being recognized.

If you mean the topic of the original post, than I have no reason to make a judgment one way or the other.

So you are fine with throwing out charges of racism regardless of validity. OK.

I maintian that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson Sr are racists.

Whatever you say cochise

Actually, that's what the federal government says, at least when it comes to patient populations for Federally Qualified Health Centers.

The fact that they automatically attribute racism to the managers/owners because they do not have x numbers of black players is a racist idea. Shows to me that they distrust the owners just because they are white.

And, you know, historical precedent.

And, you know, racist precedent.

Fixed that for you.

The whole idea that the Timberwolves are targeting white players to sell more tickets is ridiculous.

Obviously. Everyone knows there is nothing Minnesota can do to get fans inside their stadium.

Thank goodness we have all these white guys to assure us about what is and is not racism. It's a relief to know black folks are just too ignorant to figure out when they're being treated unfairly.

You are so right. Only black people can determine what is racist. And anytime they claim it, they are right. Because, well they are black, and no other opinion matters. In fact white people have never experienced racism towards them. Stupid honky white boys cant play ball anyways, right?

Except win.

Human nature is to assume when you are given a benefit, it is because you have earned it. White people can try to determine and understand what is racist on a conceptual level. They can't live the experience (at least, not in the USA).

In fact white people have never experienced racism towards them

They experience it all the time. It's just usually in their favor, so they don't notice.

Please..

Thats B.S.

Have you ever played on all black court when you are white? You telling me that white people dont experience racism in that arena. Dude, you are living in a closet if you think that.

How about you pull up some numbers on how many white kids get athletic scholarships for basketball vs how many black kids do.

The NBA is dominated by blacks, and some idiot gets upset when a team has few more white guys than the usual. And you really think this guys deserves to be listened too. If anything there should be an outcry for racism against white people in the NBA

So answer this question. Why is it so lopsided in the NBA? Why are there far more black people playing. Because white people are racist and born with an advantage?

Like in the NBA where white people are often stereotyped as being inferior players?
