BADGERS WIN! BADGERS WIN! :)
LOL! :)
I like that about ya!!
Preconceptions and expectations usually are based on past observations and experiences. In all the games I've see at the high school level (usually in a state tournament game) where a mostly or all-white team is playing a mostly or all-black team, the white team has never been equal to the black team athletically. Better sometimes, but never equal in athletic ability in terms of speed, quickness, and jumping ability. Never.
Big deal, a home win against a 15th seed.
It is the pursuit of imaginary grievances, which throughout history have been the weapon of choice among those who seek to corrupt others. (For example, see Variations On Demonic Theme.)

Everybody has preconceptions. White preconceeptions are no more evil than those of anyone else.

Thank you for pointing out what should be obvious but somehow slips through the typical liberal mental net. (A preconceived notion, you might note.)
But back to basketball skills. Having grown up in the LA area playing a lot of basketball it would be foolhardy not to have developed the notion that the black kids are just better basketball players than white kids.
They are better. That’s life. I knew that well before I entered the sixth grade. So I guess I’m prejudiced having learned at such an early age that I was in for a tough game when we played Fremont or Jefferson High.
I can hit a man-sized target in the head at 500 meters, using iron sights (no scope), 7 out of 10 times.
Tell me which skill is more useful.
A prime example of much ado about nothing at all...a fishnet full of tedious, laborious sentences, all of them signifying nothing.
Undoubtedly and pointlessly written by a New York City metrosexual in love with his own worthless journalism degree and useless brain belches.

Agree, but mostly for female players. Look at female volleyball players (and not the beach players). They wear short shorts. Then look at the "potato sacks" female bb players wear. Not nearly as sexy. In fact, definitely unsexy. A very pc incorrect thing to say (but very true), is that males will not watch females in unsexy unis. I might be a sexist pig, but the more female leg exposed, the better. Now I'm getting my flame retardant suit on.
As a side note, I was watching a old bb game on my computer a week or so ago, and my wife noticed the short shorts the males were wearing. She said they were far sexier than the long shorts they wear today. So I guess my wife is a sexist pig too. Or is that pigette?
For many years it was considered the height of racism to observe (correctly) that blacks were more athletically gifted than whites. Everybody had to ignore what was obvious and agree with the libs that all races/ethnicities were all the same athletically.
Now it has become so obvious to even dimwitted white libs that blacks are superior to all other races in terms or running fast and jumping that it can't be denied any longer. But now and again slow, white libs like Chait have to resurrect the "we're all exactly equal" myth. You can't let libs get away with their lies. Every time they lie, they have to be challenged.
Yep!
C’mon, it was just American U. Congrats to the Badgers and on to the next round.
The great majority of average people know that. Only deluded white libs, like Chait, who like to push the myth of equal athletic ability between the races continue to stick their heads in the sand. Actually, I don't think they even believe what they say. After fifty years of every American Olympic sprinter (male and female) being black, they can't deny the obvious.
Absolutely! When we walk on eggs, as it were, for fear of being misunderstood, they advance further in their war against our institutions.
And see my post #46, above.

Consider the secret handshake given.
Right. And black people didn’t vote for Obama because he’s black.
Lost me at “I root for Michigan”
He’s black?
