I forgot Blacks are the majority in this country and the race in power. It's completely the same

So, when whites are the minority in this country, will it then be okay to have an all-white basketball league?

Can a minority be a racist, or is that a label that is reserved only for whites (or whoever is in the majority)?

No wonder I have BET erased from my TV.

I don't like racist television so I had to eliminate BET from my TV.


What amount the negro college fund, whites do not get to apply? Why not?

Full of fast, high jumping brainless men.
I love racist TV. I grew up watching it pre-1990's when the only minorities in film or television were token characters. Yeah, that dumb political correctness idea in the early 1990's started to introduce minorities in the entertainment industry. I liked it much better when Erik Estrada, a Mexican, couldn't play a Mexican cop and had to be an Italian so whites would watch the show. That is quality TV

Why is it that blacks are allowed to have BET and African American newspapers? I'm in college and there are plenty of African American only groups, they even have an office dedicated to only helping blacks. I don't get how that isn't racist. Can I start a whites only club? A White Entertainment Television station? No, because then I will be called a racist. Blacks are more racist than whites, always pitying themselves and wanting nothing but handouts. Blacks need to empower themselves. Say no to special treatment. If you want to be treated equally, then you need to treat yourselves equally amongst other races.

"Allowed"? It's called capitalism. Are you suggesting that the government should ban them because they focus on black issues?

They might be discriminating against non-blacks, but that doesn't mean they're racists. There is a difference.

Yes, you can.

Ther reason there isn't a "White Entertainment Television" or the like, or "White History Month" is because "White" culture is the default and the normative for the USA, the majority. You don't really have to name it, because it sort just is.

My partner is gay, Jew, male. He is really a minority. So then it would be OK for him to have a gay, Jew, male business or league or organization and turn black people away. He is in the minority compared to black people. I'll let him know as an even smaller minority, he can exclude the black minority. It won't be racism on his part since he is even a smaller minority.

Default ‘Whites only' basketball league announced

Is a new professional basketball league announced this week for real, or is it all just some sort of joke or publicity stunt by former pro wrestling promoter Don "Moose" Lewis?

The Augusta Chronicle reported on Tuesday that the All-American Basketball Alliance plans to kick off its inaugural season in June and hopes that Augusta will be one of 12 cities to host teams.
But here's the kicker: According to a press release the newspaper and other Augusta media outlets received from the new league, "only players that are natural-born United State citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league."

MLK stood for equality. Equality means just that....equal. If black people can have the Congressional Black Caucus, then white people can have the Congressional White Caucus. That is the definition of equality and that is what MLK stood for. Congressional Asian Caucus, Congressional Latin Caucus, Congressional Female Caucus, Congressional Gay Caucus....everybody can have one....everybody is equal.
