Funny how they only care about tokenism when they're not the beneficiary.

I was going to post that image. But instead I think Towelie is more symbolic for whining.

The endless obsession with race. So damn tiresome.

“Don’t be scared to make an all-Black team representing the United States of America.”


An all-black team would be considered ‘diverse’. An all-white team, of course, would be ‘racist’.

Maybe he should be ripping the guys who were asked to play but turned their country down.

I wish he’d make this statement about Jimmy Kimmel that he only has a job cause he’s white

Awesome. Jalen Rose calls for the elimination of affirmative action.

Thank you Jalen for your brave stance against racial "tokenism"!

Managers should no longer be "afraid" to field an all-white staff in their offices.

I'm sure the Fact Checkers are out there busy on this right now. I know it's been several years but it takes them a little longer to get the right answer.

Jaken Rose said essentially the same thing that Rush Limbaugh said when he was invited to be a football analyst for ESPN in 2004 in which he tried to argue against the decision to start quarterback Donovan McNabb, who he felt shouldn’t have been given any credit for his team’s play.

Rush said then:

“I think what we’ve had here is a little social concern from the NFL; I think the media has been very desirous that a Black Quarterback do well.”

For this, Rush was fired.

The difference is, Rush is white and Jalen is black and Kevin Love is white and McNabb is black. Jalen will NOT be fired.

Double standard!

I’m more concerned about token airline pilots and surgeons, and building and bridge engineers. Basketball is insignificant.
