    I am not going to sit here and list evey journal article I have read on the issue. Just as you have not provided any references either. And I know for a fact that you will be able to pick apart my references just as I could yours if I had the desire. This debate is getting tiresome. As I have...

    Bad choice of wording. And definitely taken a little out of context. Racism did not prevent the aid from getting there quickly - it was the flooding, destruction, and lack of organization that prevented it from getting there immediately but they got it there as fast as possible.

    I never said racism did not exist. I only ever stated that the majority of Americans are not racist. As I said in my earlier posts, I have heard and seen (minor) acts of racism. I know it exists, however, I do not believe that racism is nearly as big if an issue as you have made it out to be, or...

    You have done your research and made a conclusion - but so have I. They differ. You can have your "fairy tale," and I can mine. Criticizing/resulting to demeaning language when referring to my view (saying that only I possess a fairy tale of the world) is oftentimes a compensation for a lack in...

    Oxforddictionary.com (source of defintion) My statements are not an inevitable conclusion that I am ignorant and priviledged. How can you deduce that I don't know what I am talking about? You only know me from the few posts that I have made? I have avoided assumptions about you because I have...

    Jefferson breaks into top 10, Millsap 11

    Numbers wise, Jefferson will definitely get you more points, rebounds, and blocks. In fantasy, Jefferson is pretty good because he will always get his numbers. For me, Millsap has been on my team for the last few years, but I have a hard time taking him at 11 because I do believe that Favors is...

    Jefferson breaks into top 10, Millsap 11

    I recently went into an ESPN fantasy mock draft and found myself pleasantly surprised to see Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap listed as the 10th and 11th best fantasy players. Jefferson usually is in the top 15 (I believe) with Millsap going in the late 20s. Who would you choose?

    Do you honestly think I posted that definition without looking it up first. Try typing in "racism defintion" into google.... I guess we can all find the definition that fits our points the best. And you don't seem to be a skeptic because just in this thread you have made assumptions about my...

    Is it racsim if its against your own race? Definition of racism: Prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief. Thus by ths definition, African American's cannot be racist against other African Americans. People certainly discriminate against...

    Not ignorant and not privileged despite what you think. Did I grow up in the inner city of Detroit? No. But from my experiences the fact that Hurricane Katrina victims did not receive the aid as quickly as possible had nothing to do with the people in government being racist. And one brow, it...

    This just annoys me. I hate how everything like this gets attrubuted to racism. Does racism exist? Absolutely, in small communities, groups, and individuals. But did racism prevent aid reaching the victims of hurricane Katrina? Absolutely not! Because the government and the majority of American...

    50 facts about America that our founding fathers would never have believed

    I totally agree with you here. This kind of stuff did not happen overnight (or in the last four or previous 8 years) - nor is it going to be fixed over night. The corruption in politics is disheartening and I see no way of being able to eradicate it. Incumbents (specifically Congress) will...

    Si.com Players to watch at Training Camp - Paul Millsap

    Point taken. I was just referring to the fact that in the Jazz's situation, Millsap is a logical choice as the 6th man for the team.

    Si.com Players to watch at Training Camp - Paul Millsap

    Millsap would be awesome as a 6th man, but that means he still has to take minutes from someone, and I don't see Jeffercrap being the player they take it from while he is under contract. I imagine that they will Corbin will do something similar to last season where everyone gets about 20-25...

    Utah Jazz Survivor ROUND 13

    If that day happens, then it happens. Hayward has been a hard worker thus far and he may not be the most athletic guy, but he plays smart which will keep him in this league for a long time. He hasn't had any problem with meshing with the team and not being the face of the franchise. If he...
