So was the saxophone and the trumpet.

It's what you do with it that matters.

That said, your point is taken.

Cultural appropriation is another term for melting pot. It is a good thing.


If BLM is trying to stop women of other races from wearing skin tight clothes I gotta problem with them. Now they have gone too far. Wearing skin tight clothes is a basic human right.

Kansas. A bunch of white guys taking setshots, A white guy invented the jump shot also. I always wonder how did it take 50 years to invent the jump shot after the invention of basketball?


http://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-...ntor-jump-shot


I think a black guy invented the dunk.


The guy who made basketball what it is today is Dr. J.---Julius Erving.


Never mind, today it is the three point shot. I can't stand the three point shot.

And here I thought they were merely trends that everyone could follow.

Interracial dating doesn't bother me - I've done it myself. I just thought it might have been an amusing comeback.

I think for a while she was trying to look like Beyonce. Good luck with that, Kim....lol.

Turns out basketball was invented in Massachusetts by a Canadian who later went on to be the AD at Kansas.

Now that we have that cleared up let me say Beyoncé has nothing on Kim. I like meat on the bones.

See, now this thread is moving in the right direction...

I wonder if Kanye agrees that his wife is racist ..

This is why the term racist is losing meaning ..
Who cares what Shanelle Matthews has to say. Same goes for the daily caller.
