That Jus Blatant Fucking Ignorant Racism From YOU. What The Fuck. People Like You Are Keeping Racism Alive By Way Overblowing Small Shit Like This. And then Claiming Every Fuckin White Person Is a Racist.

Stop The Bullshit, Open Your Fucking Ears And Listen to What Your Trying To Say.

Actually...I understand what I Noc means...But, he's mistaken in this case...

Example...Let's say a Black woman works in "corporate" America and has a white boss. This black woman dresses in Kinte Cloth and rocks dred-locks. So, the boss calls her in and says "I think a more "traditional" business look is appropriate. She could argue he's being CULTURALLY insensitive, if not racist.

So...this is a very delicate issue I-NOC...I don't think this is racist. I get the impression they're trying to send a message to the younger kids who dream of being in the NBA that it's about talent and not bling.

Umm, well if you're saying that they "have it easy"


they worked their whole fucking lives for this, completely dedicated, I dont think professional athletes have it easy at all.... you know how hard it is to get to the NBA? They deserve some respect. And to not be treated like some schoolgirl in a uniform.... their uniform is the jersey they put on at game time, thats it.

yes, I actually wrote an editorial about this for our newspaper


If they dont deserve the money, then WHO does?
What people dont understand is that nobody sits back and decides how much to pay these guys, people buy tickets to the games, buy merchandise, and that decides a player's paycheck. They bring in the fans, and it definitely shouldnt be sitting in the GM's pockets.....

o sup dawg


i was bout to asl A/S/L...so I cud cyber


eeeeeeeeer SIKE...


but yea...let's say this was racist...Something else that bothers me is how people deny the incidence of ANYTHING racial? I'm like, "exactly when is something ever racially motivated then?" That's the problem with racism in my opinion. It's subtle in so many ways. Back in the 1950s and 60s, they would literally spit in a black man's face. Today, they do it by denying him credit or erecting other economic barriers they know minorities will have a tough time overcoming. It's a game they force us all to play with out giving us the rules or instructions. It's up to the individual to figure it all out.
