Exclamation Larry Johnson calls for "all-black" Basketball League

http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/20...ck-nba-league/

Quote:
In a tweet, the former star player wrote: “Black people your Focusing on the wrong thing. We should be focusing on having our own, Own team own League! To For Self!!”

It’s not the first time that Mr. Johnson drew critical attention to the fact that the NBA is headed primarily by white executives and played mostly by black athletes, the New York Post reported. In 1999, he said during the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs that, “We’ve got a lot of rebellious slaves on this [Knicks] team.”
So... should Larry be fired?

Larry Johnson isn't too bright except for his gold tooth. And that's the truth.

Take into consideration that white guy is an owner of a major professional sports team full of people he's discriminating against whereas this guy is a former player no longer in the headlines and has no controlling interest in anything.

This guy is a f&^*ing idiot though, probably just saying dumb sh!t to get publicity.

Also, this post end up an hour ago.

Discriminating against???? Really? Last I check his team is pretty much filled with all black player who all have major contracts making bank. Dude is even dating a non-white publicly. Everyone is talking discrimination yet not one person has any proof or examples where it happened.

The guy is an old jerk no doubt but everyone is missing the bigger picture of whats going on here. Everyone already knew this guy was racist and still signed with him. All of a sudden its a huge surprise now? Make no mistake the only real winners here are the ones that set this fool up to be forced to sell the team. You will know who was behind it when you see who ends up on top as some kind of savior. Media only reports what fits the agenda... racist rant? cover it. Fact that guy is a huge liberal & a know racist from past public events? never mention a word

Larry Johnson also works for the Knicks so he is representing that team when he is preaching segregation in his own illiterate way.

If Joe Montana came out and said whites need to make an all white NFL there would be a media firestorm over it.

These are just facts that make a lot here uncomfortable obviously.

$$$ talks, especially lots of it. He's been sued multiple times for discrimination and have settled out of court. Former players have publicly come out after leaving the team about his slurs towards them during practices, shootarounds, and other inappropriate behavior around them. I'm not involved with the league office or Players' Union but they've known about this and have not done anything, possibly due to lack of hard evidence, their word against his, whatever the case may, be I have no idea.

For the league office, NBPA and the other union to collectively ban life from the league for life after the investigation and interview with him speaks volumes to me as to what's going on in the background that's not being told to us.

He's just mad the sorry ass Knicks aren't in the playoffs.

If this story had any sort of weight or steam, I'd have heard about it prior to opening this thread.

That's the whole point TX. You or no one cares when a black spews racist crap but soon as a white does your all over it. Media reports only what further separates people apart and people like you feed into it like mindless sheep. Your a hypocrite an just openly admitted you only care about stories other people tell you are important.

I'm a black man and as a black man I can confidently say this is a horrible idea. All black league would take our "melting pot" America into the wrong direction for diversity.

Four people in this post for now, but come on buddy it's only been a couple hours. Give it some time

Agree with this wholeheartedly. Any all one ethnicity team is just a bad idea.

This outcome is fine with me. All i'm saying is that if this is now the president set by the league, any and all cases originating from anyone associated with the league regardless of color or position will be dealt with this same manner.

Larry Johnson is just as much of a racist piece of shit as Donald Sterling. They're both terrible human beings and the public should apply pressure in both cases to let them know that fact.

I don't discriminate when it comes to racists.

I say we get rid of basketball all together, nothing but a cesspool of racism. We can do away with football also just as a precaution.
