Title: Re: Sports racism fail.. Post by: brianh on January 22, 2010, 03:21:30 pm I don't think this will be a big deal. Would you say the BET channel is racist, what about the NAACP? I don't, yet it works on the same principle. That said, I won't watch it because I like the diversity in the normal league. I don't see enough Native Americans in basketball by the way. Whats up with that?

Whats up with that? Apples/Oranges. Let's see BET = Black Entertainment Television NAACP = National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Now that's pretty cut and dry as to what those are. Plus, they don't go around making statements like 'It's BET. Can't watch if you're not African-American' NAACP does have Caucasian members, if I'm not mistaken. OTOH, the referenced article states the following: Quote In a throwback to the days of segregation, the league would require players to have parents that are both of full “caucasian” descent.

Just another pathetic attention whore and a fart in history's wind. He'll go back to commiserating with dip shits like Dennis Mahon and David Duke and brag about the whitey league he tried to start one time.
