Donald Sterling made millionaires out of a far higher percentage of blacks than exist in American society today.
Is it “racism” when there are no jews on basketball team
How can you be a slave if your pay is set by the market and you can quit your job?
Go back in the toilet NPR!!!
They will never let us move on. We will be dogged by race forever.
I’m trying to remember a single memorable column or even line that William Rhoden has ever written. Nope, can’t do it....
Whites should just die.
Asian’s are no longer people of color, didn’t you hear? Yep, declared in California.
What do you call it IF.....
You despise a few whites, blacks, asians, and hispanics?...
Not that literally everybody does that.. THEY DO..
Picking only one race to despise is quite lame..
During CBS’ Final Four coverage you had Greg Gumbell, Clark Kellogg, Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, Greg Anthony (some), Grant Hill (some)...really?
Oh please...! Get off your damn soapbox!
The televised “news” media has already undergone a transformation from which they cannot bother to dig themselves out from, for over 5 years now, and is documented.
It is no longer the ‘excelsior’ of any true journalist, with any salt to get the truth out to the unknowing masses.
It is: the hairdo, the makeup, the skin color - which does NOT excuse the lack of brains, the tailored clothing, the dental work, and the on-camera persona.
Some of the better early televised journalists would not survive in today’s plastic newsroom facade, because they were not photogenic, but had ‘the right face for radio’.
With the immaculation of an ‘affirmative actions’ U.S. President, whose background has been slowly sifted out of the deep pit it was buried in, by means of a court in Georgia, it does not fail these eyes that the same call would be made across America, in all sorts of applications.
Before 2008, competition among broadcasters has always seemed fierce. Now, with the call to apply ‘affirmative actions’ criteria, and the resulting quotas, all those years of college work, and scrambling across the nation, to build a definable broadcast resume, is now just, dung.
What I want to know is, when will the teams truly reflect our diversity? When will the demographic makeup of the various ethnicities of this country be represented proportionally on the playing field?
And why are some paid more than others? Don’t they all play some special part on the team? No player, regardless how good they are, can win the game all by themselves. That’s why they call them teams.
And why must there be winners? If someone wins, then someone loses; how is that helpful? Shouldn’t they just come together out of the sheer joy of the game?
And why do they sell tickets at different prices? Shouldn’t the front row seats be reserved for the disabled? And those exclusive box seats...
Celebrating 100 years!
“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. ~ Booker T. Washington (1856-1915.) ~ Educator, Author, Civil Rights Leader
Is it “Sterling level racism” when 10 blacks take the floor in a basketball game?
Notice how the cry of racism has moved from a legal matter addressed in court as discrimination, to the court of “social justice” where there is no rule of law or defendant representation, This is the rise of Obama’s Red Guard,
Dear NBA: I would love you to prove that you aren’t racist. I want every team to start 1 white, 1 American Indian, 1 black 1 Asian and 1 biracial player. When you do that, I’ll say you are NOT RACIST.
I will not listen to any sports announcer who can only speak Ebonics.
