Gee. shouldn’t this “executive” who doesn’t know the difference between “your” and “you’re” be fired for his racism?

Or maybe he’s just jealous that an old, rich Jewish guy had a hot young biracial lover

Much racism, Lar.

Look to me like people are racist, and that’s all there is to it.

By the way, Lar, there ain’t enough Caucasoids or Mongoloids in your racist blacksetball league.

Johnson is all racist.

No, he can't be, because he's black. According to "critical race theory" which is taught in colleges and universities today, no black person can be a racist. Negative feelings among blacks toward whites are generated by anger at and frustration with the institutionally racist social structure that keeps them down and awards all whites a measure of privilege.

And when honkeys stop going to the games it’ll be racism. One thing’s for sure. Make it all black and say goodbye to revenue.

Watch an NBA game and play “Where Whitey? “...sounds like a new drinking game

What could me more racist than insisting upon an all black league?!!?? Maybe calling it the NBA? The Negro Basketball Association?

So when can we expect another investigation by the NBA since the offense is worse and involves advocating overt illegal discrimination? Waiting. Waiting. Oh well...

“Would Johnson allow white folks to attend these ‘negro league’ games of his?”

I am sure OBama would tax whites for support of the league and then not permit whites to attend.

Or somesuch.

"Knicks' Larry Johnson calls for all-black basketball league (In wake of Clipper race fiasco)"

.... Gee .... according to activists .... I thought Affirmative action was a very important necessity in all parts of society .... Shouldn't we be demanding then that Basketball and all sports teams should generally reflect the gender, racial, and ethnic profile of the American society?

Yes. I think it was MLK himself who advocated for combating racism with - even more racism.

Wait.... no.... it wasn’t...

Apparently, Mr. Sterling told his girlfriend: “You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that … and not to bring them to my games.”
So does this indicate she has some kind of interracial fetish? Choosing who to hop in the sack with based on race, isn’t that a form of racial discrimination or, *GASP!*, racism?

Given that African-Americans make up about 16% of the total USA population, what kind of market are they expecting with a black-only league? Who would watch besides African-Americans? Can it even be sustained?

I agree. The NBA is about 95% black.

The elephant in this room is this - just how many non-black spectators will attend BB games with all black players? Folks enjoy sports which are integrated more than those which are segregated.

The “racist” can only be a white guy who says something stupid. A black “liberal” guy can say just about anything he wants and it’s considered free speech. Dr. Sowell (one of the most brilliant college Economics professor ever) could never get away w/making a racist comment either.
