So let them have their cracker jive-ass turkey league. They're just admitting they're a league of lesser-talented "players" that can't hold their own against a real ball player of any diverse racial background. They obviously fear the black man, LOL.

HAHAHAHA

You get a star from me man.

Mostly, it is all about fear of the black man.

I would let them do it just to see how entertaining the games would be.....

I don't know if you haver ever seen "Street Basketball: in Greenwich Village in NYC.

Best games I've ever seen.

Best to you

I personally think this mans issue is the fact that the NBA IS a black mans league now. Its also marketed to the black race and has been for YEARS. I mean look at the soundtrack to NBA 2010 for the game consoles:

Akala - The Edge
Al Kapone - Rock This
Chali2na - Lock it Down (Instrumental)
Chali2na – International (feat. Beenie Man)
Donnie Bravo - Run Away
Duo Live - Shootin
Flo Rida - ROOTS
Iglu & Hartly - In this City
Illinois - Hang On
Izza Kizza - They’re Everywhere
K’naan - Wavin’ the Flag
Kanye West - Amazing
Kenan Bell - Like This
Matisyahu - One Day
Metric - Help I’m Alive
Metronomy - Radio Ladio
MGMT - Electric Feel
Miike Snow - Black & Blue
Naïve New Breeders - Can’t Choose
Ratatat - Falcon Jab

Saul Williams - List of Demands (Reparations)
Sportsrushaz - Iron
The Game - Champion (Exclusive and original track)
The Moog - Joyclad Armies
Vincent Van Go Go - Do You Know

Every song on here is rap musip, every song represents the black community/culture that is populare these days. Do I give ---- about it, NOPE, but maybe this is why this guy is trying to do this league.

Growing up we had a ton of black kids skippin class or school period to, guess what....go play ball! They didn't care about education, life, learning, etc...they simply wanted the $$$$$ the NBA had to offer if they could make it. Luckily, more recently it has gotten better and kids are getting educated, doing well AND playin hoops...more power to them!

Now back to the NBA marketing and "vibe" of the league. I don't really care about basketball, but when you watch the games YES the majority of players are black....so what. Yes a majority of the music and ads associated with the league are of the black culture and the "IN" things of the black society. So IMO, I think guys like this just can't handle the fact that this is the direction the league has gone. As I showed above, the league and what it represents may be "thugish" but it keeps drawing fans...

And yes it is VERY true that white people really can't hang with black when it comes to basketball. I mean cmon: Labron James, Michael Jordon, Allen Iverson, Shaq, Kobe, etc...just make white guys look bad on the hardwood...

Can we get over this white and black stuff already, the NBA is not about white and black, it's about skill and if you know how to play good, you will get some burn

I for one wish we could...but the thread is based of such stuff. And forgive me, but being a lifelong football player and 34 year old white male...what the hell does "get some burn" mean...

I'm guessing playin time????????

Although i do agree they should be allowed to do what they are doing, i also must say, why? all it is going to do is stur up nasty hatred for a "race" of people.

...they want a league to showcase their talents, which in the game of basketball have become obsolete to the better players. The syle of the NBA is such that you could have phenomenal fundamentals but if you were not blessed with the size factor your chances are slim. even small guys in the NBA are 6'4.
Now im not racist by any stretch nor do i think it is racist to say that black men on average are taller then white men.

AND

...I do however think that making a league designated for whites is insane, if it were me i would have made a league dedicated to the style of play he was promoting "fundamentals" as opposed to a colour assosciated with it.

Umm...er...like what he said.

Hack's entire post is great, but the above statements are crucial in gaining a balanced view of this issue.

I've not read all this thread but someone must have suggested the following by now. A league with a maximum allowable height, thereby forcing the desired style of play, and allowing shorter persons of colour to play too.

As an aside, I don't think there should black TV, or music of black origin awards etc, without there being the exact same for whites. Anything else would and is hypocrisy.

Yea, but that music isn't marketed towards Black people, it made for and marketed to White kids. They eat it up.

As for the NBA, they recruit the best players. Don't blame the Black man if he just so happens to the best at that sport. He's not responsible for the White man's shortcomings!

If you can't hang with the best... then I guess you go off and start your own league.
