Catching up with an HBO sports documentary which ran several times in March: ‘Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals,’ painted Boston Celtics basketball star Larry Bird as the victim of a racist national milieu exacerbated by President Ronald Reagan...

That’s CRAZY!
It was actually Bushs fault.
You have to be kidding me.
HBO’s has a very long history of liberalism. I remember a docudrama they did almost 30 years ago about the Chicago Seven that was revolting.
Reagan is still driving liberals crazy from his grave. God bless him.

They will only be happy when 100% of the owners, coaches and players are non-White.
Ain’t no way. What a crock!
Which policies were those, specifically? Across-the-board tax cuts?
A poll I would like to see is to ask which man among these would you most like to be the leader of our country at this time. Multiple choice and list the last ten Presidents beginning with Obama and going back to Kennedy.

Who watches that creepshow from Tattooland? Pro wrestling features more normality.
Um, did anyone bother to point out that Larry Bird is, you know, white?
Gee....based on this HBO goofball....maybe I could blame Gerald Ford for my lack of basketball skill....it was Ford who gave clumsy people a bad name....and clumsy people have no game....
From a movie...I don't remember the name.
It is hilarious how the whole Black Power Movement which decries Raaaacism has turned the clock back....we now have Black only sports teams as a goal, and we already (thanks to the Dems) have “plantations” where the slaves are kept quiet...The detroit Plantation, the Watts Plantation, the Camden, NJ Plantation...on and on; now we have black women as prostitutes with their Pimp Masters...
Wow, now that’s “Progressive” for you!
as Obozo says, “You should be saying ‘thank you!’”
That's right, everything's Bush's fault including this volcano thing in Iceland!

HBO:Continuing to make America nostalgic for the days of the rabbit ear antenna and the UHF antenna held on to the tv with aluminum foil....
Thanks to Reagan, poor people today can only afford 20” wheels. If a Democrat had been president there would have been a chicken in every pot and 24’s on the ride.
“But as Magic enjoyed his image as a crossover star, it was Bird, the one-time great white hope, who had further emerged as the polarizing racial figure due in part to that era’s increasingly conservative political climate.”
Yup. If only that whitey, racist, Bird had kept his place and not played basketball.
