Son I would rather be whatever name you want to call the likes of myself than be a no good, stomp down ni**er like you. You see son its people like you with your high sense of en lement / can't ever be told anything / never taking self responsibilty mentality that continue to hold black America down. You're the type of "WorldStar Hip Hop" brotha who doesn't have a pot to piss in, nor a window to throw it out of ... yet instead of doing what it takes to better yourself and to better the black race as a whole you choose to take the easy route and still blame others for your own faults.

You don't rise to me with that phony bull son. Now go read a book or something instead of watching Kanye and Ciara videos.

TD 21 couldn't resist. He had to come in here and TD21-up this thread. Thanks

Hes right though. Its also pretty hard to be 'too black' in a predominately black league.

Calling it racism might be a stretch but saying teams like the TWolves, Jazz, and Pacers are trying to target their predominately white population isnt that unreasonable.

86 Celtics......was that a serious question?

With the Jazz and Pacers it isn't unreasonable.....but Minnesota is as colorblind as it gets. Maybe Minneapolis is predominantly white but it's never had a problem embracing black athletes the way Utah or Indiana has.

Today on PTI, Wilbon said that Minneapolis is one of the 3 most racially tolerant areas in America, tbh..

Like DOK said, I could buy it if it was Utah or something, but not Minnesota..

So having 2/3rds of your team be white "too white"? What kinda dumb ? It ain't like it's 14/15 or 15/15.

Can someone put a list of all the teams in the league that are too black?

If 2/3rds of your team being one skin color is "too much", then probbaly the other 29 would be "too black", by that standard. That's like a challenge really, name a team that has less than 10 black guys on it besides the Wolves.

[FkLA]

^That has been brought up by nearly everyone in this thread and its just dumb tbh. You cant be 'too black' in a predominately black league. Like I said earlier a black city like Detroit, having a team in a sport dominated by whites like the Red Wings, being composed of mostly black players would be a similar comparison...imo that would definitely bring up questions of whether that team was too black/trying to appeal to its large black population.

With that said Ive never been to Minneapolis or even anywhere close. So maybe I was too quick to lump them with Indiana or Utah, if the city is as racially tolerant as you guys are saying the local black leaders shouldve known that and not made it a race thing.

^ Listen BR *aka* The self hating Sand Man don't you dare start pouting your black sand man lips...don't you start pouting on Kool...

sour grapes, maybe the person should put money where their mouth is and buy a team and do what they want with it...fkn wankers

In fact, the Atlanta Thrashers signed a bunch of black players a year or two before they moved, and people accused them of desperately trying to appeal to a predominantly black Atlanta audience, tbh.... works both ways....

Does "white" mean "not black, Asian, Arab, or Latino?"

[DMC]

There's no such thing as "too white."

Does "white" mean "not black, Asian, Arab, or Latino?"

I think it means no street jive on the elevator. No one said "sheeeeeet" when he said "mmmm".

[JohnnyMax]

One of the biggest reason everyone was rooting for Mavs over Heat is because Dallas had more White players and was lead by "White hope" in Dirk.
