I was threatened to have my ass kicked the next time in San Diego because I dared quote Chris Rock who, at least in his stand up routine, claims to have as little use for niggas (as opposed to hard-working, law-abiding, descent black people) as I do. No one has yet to give me a reason to change that opinion.
In fact, my opinions were vindicated, yet again, by the 403 arrests that tarnished the mid-February NBA All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas, According to Edward Lawrence of WLAS-TV,
It wasnt the shootings, but the general rudeness of the NBA fans which left a lasting impression for some Las Vegans. Teresa Frey, Cocos general manager said, I have been spit on. I have had food thrown at me. I have lost two servers out of fear. I have locked my doors out of fear of violence.
It was filled with an element of violence. They dont want to pay their bills. They dont want to respect us or each other. Frey says she lost 20-percent of her revenue because of people walking out on their bills. She closed the 24-hour restaurant from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. out of concern.
Although many Las Vegans, including Teresa Frey, support an NBA team in Las Vegas, she doesnt want to see another All-Star game anytime soon. I know that any amount of revenue I made does not justify me being assaulted, she said.

I don't know the Bird-Magic years were pretty good. After that Darkness. The NFL better watch out, or they will be in the same situation.
To: exhaustguy
It ain't the NBA. It's "black" culture. Same thing has happened to Buckhead in Atlanta over the years as it did in Vegas over All-Star weekend. The ghetto thug mentality has taken over, with the requisite shootings, stabbings, and general animalistic behavior. Laws have been changed, businesses have closed, people have died.
Da niggas don't care though. So long as they get to do their thang

Listen to Jim Rome's radio sports talk and ''Rome is Burning''TV show, he deals at length with these issues and takes all callers.

A few more voices like that and I won't be nearly as convinced my college days as a enraged, dumb-as-toast, commie lib fighting for racial equality in the late 60's and early 70's wasn't the waste of time I considered it in the past 10 years. There are many days when a black man says he is mad because his ancestors were brought here and I can only agree.

What, exactly, are you talking about? Did you read the article? Do you know what he refers to?

The NBA died for me many years ago.For me it was all "professional" sports.
30 years ago, never looked back
If I wanted to waste time watching filthy rich thugs with "attitude" I would watch C-Span...

I don't see many of them falling over each other going back.
You may have left college, but as for growing up...

I read the entire column. I agree with him. I wish more articulate black men would not be as cowed as guilty white men and step up and say this is just embarrassing and this is how racial stereotypes become stereotypes.

Oh Pluueezz-- If you had a dime for every time that you've heard some race pimp berate the misery and injustice for the black man in this country you would be as rich as Jesse Jackson (speaking of race pimps). It wears me out. It wears a lot of people out. I've had it. Yo Al, Jesse, Malik Shabazz, Calypso Louie... Africa's calling! And your don't have to pay a dime for it... Whoops wrong ad... oh well

Slavery was wrong then and it is now. However, are you trying to tell me that they would be better off there than here, regardless of how they got here? Remember, it was just as much the black man (he was making $$)in Africa responsible for slavery, as it was whitey. There were a lot of corrupt Africans involved back then that turned against their own for profit. Ask Bill Cosby, Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Michael Jordan, Walter Williams et al if they'd like to be in Africa right now. I rest.

Just read the entire article.
Just "wow!"
Isn't "inciting murder" a prosecutable crime?

There are many days when a black man says he is mad because his ancestors were brought hereSo what that some black man's umpty-ump-great-grandfather was brought here against his will. That black man had exactly as much choice as I did about what country to be born in. If he doesn't like the country he was born in, he can leave.

Your killin me here... It ain't me that is working up a boo hoo about entitlement's or stupid life choice excuses or 70% illegitimacy rates based on the fact that my ancestors 300 years ago were sold by Muslims to Slave traders for a tidy profit.

I'm glad you posted this article, as I may well have never had a chance to read it.
This is the second such article of outrage from a black leader I've read in recent days about the goings-on in Vegas during the All-Star game. Good on 'em, too!
I'm a cop and I see this same gangsta crap every day (yes, even on the quaint lil' ol' island...). The biggest victims of this lifestyle are the black people who simply want the same things that most of us do: opportunity, safety and freedom. Unfortunately, many are held hostage by the proponents of "thug life".
Enough. Thank you, Mr. Parks.
