Here's my question:
Exactly where in his e-mail did Levenson show racism AS THE WORD IS DEFINED?
Translation: I have a losing team and I need 2 billion dollars.
such use of the word black.....is HERETICAL to the Bishops Of Race Pimping....
Cue Revrunts Sharptongue and Jacksum!!
He would be a poor owner and manager if he could face the facts.
This guy sounds like a very prudent fellow. I won’t go to any event where the crowd is 70% black. Considering the incidence of gang violence and criminality in the black community, plus the current anti-white climate, there’s not a chance that I would expose my family to this kind of event. I’ll stick to Hockey.
Really, who goes to an NBA game except to brag that their felons are better than the opposing team felons?
All we're gonna be hearing is this racism this & racism that bullish*t all the way through to November.
This e-mail sounds like a coherent and thoughtful business correspondence with regards to marketing and revenue.
I can’t speak to the validity of his “theory” as I know nothing about the situation. But his thoughts seem strictly business. The guy is in a business that needs to be profitable.
This was no more than a businessman discussing marketing demographics. Had it been the other way around, and they were discussing attracting more blacks or under 50 folks or women, there would probably be no problem. It’s the usual double standard.
This is the ploy dujour....”Hey, I just realized I am a racist. I better sell this for a monstrous profit.”
Step by step and incrementally we have moved ever deeper into political correctness. Strangling our freedom and changing our system greatly.
There is good and there is evil. We choose which path to follow. We have praised the wrong actions.
It has always been a case of are we going to follow Jesus, or are we going to do what we want to do? Being selfish and greedy and self centered most want to do what they want to do. Satan is real and the spirit of evil is alive and well. SADLY!
Repent, it is all fake or false in the end except for choosing to follow our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. No other choice. The reality that no one reads their HOLY BIBLE, and thus much is misunderstood.
It is laughed
WAKE UP. ETERNITY DEPENDS ON IT.
Forgive my preaching.
What he needed to do is go to the Obama/Holder Regime and ask for a ticket equalization grant so he could get some Federal reparations funding. sarc/
Truth overpowered by PC.
In a “normal” world, there is nothing offensive about what he’s saying. Based on what I see, he’s just trying to increase patronage at the arena and any smart businessman would look at any and all stats that might affect that.
That being said, the arena apparently does much to attract a black audience vs. being a bit more moderate/neutral in their approach vis a vis the “music” (hip hop doesn’t qualify in my book, but whatever) and the other events...something I’m sure many “affluent” white folks don’t find appealing. Thus, they don’t come.
Btw, I don’t fancy BB at all...never got into it.
So much for Eric Holder’s wish for “frank conversations about the racial matters.” Levenson is just the latest to be shocked for grabbing that live wire.
Mike & Mike’s (detestable) Greenie went so far as to call Levenson’s email to be far worse than anything Sterling ever said. Seems obvious the fix is in and the drums will beat until the sale is complete.
So he hired a marketing firm that gave him some demographic numbers. Don’t the liberal media and Democrat politicians do the same thing?
A little context might help. Who is Levenson?
Observations aren’t “racist”. Data isn’t “racist” either.
This is what it’s come to for the white man. This is white “guilt” at it’s finest.
There was young polish bartender bought a bar in the black community that was making money hand over fist. He was after the American dream and dreamed of wealth and success.
Six months later he couldn’t give away a beer. So he looked around and saw all his waitresses were polish... the ‘music’ was by a “Guy Lombardo” type band and the dances were polka...
He thought and thought and decided if he wanted to make money as a black bar he would have to appeal to black citizens. At that point he realized he was a dumb racist and sold the bar...
REWRITE REQUEST:
I’d love to see this email be re-written by swapping the races, showing an owner concerned about low minority participation rates. I think it would be a stark portrayal of how non-racist this really is.
It would be interesting for the Black community to comment that they have no problem with the email and if he wants to sell the team, just pay the taxes like anybody else and forget the “forced sale” nonsense.
