Larry Johnson calls for "all-black" Basketball League

grimlock · 04-30-2014, 12:10 AM

It wouldn't work because it would be terribly mis-managed.

Just like if they made an all-white NBA they would probably have to play games against the WNBA..

It's obvious Larry should be fired, but he won't be...

I'd take a two-person-team of Goran Dragić and Kevin Love over every WNBA team.

An "all white" team of Dragić, Reddick, Parsons, M. Gasol, and K-Love would destroy the Miami Heat right now.

We already have a battle of races, its called the Olympics. The problem is, how many current black NBA players would actually join this all black league? What about mixed players like Blake Griffin? Lol dumbass LJ saying the dumbest things at the dumbest times. The black people should trade LJ like in the racial draft in Chappelle show lol.

This.

A racist is a racist. It absolutely goes both ways and this story doesn't have "heat" because the media is also racist. They are pandering and I find that extremely offensive. 100 people were shot in gang violence in Chicago over the last two weeks and it doesn't make national news. One white guy whispering in his kitchen that he "doesn't like black people" and it's on the front page of every paper. Nobody else finds that offensive? Which of those two is more harmful to the community?

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

*yawn*

Doesn't this sentiment say that our society holds black people to a lower standard by putting less weight into their comments? What he said is far more racist (ie separating black people from white) than what Sterling said, yet you yawn at it. It implies that you, yourself, think less of what he said which seems counter to your point about everyone being treated equally.

I don't understand what is wrong with what he said..., I mean come one, what would an all black basketball league eliminate anyways....,

a total of 10 white players and 5 third string Asians?

The statement was more about ownership.

Gotta love the socially acceptable racism that goes on here.

Everywhere.

Larry Johnson is probably polishing off an $80 ribeye right now thinking about his all-black league.

When are people going to learn that only whites can be racist. Come on now: it's 2014. You should know that by now.

We have a BET channel. Can we get a WET channel as well?

I'm actually surprised it lasted this long. All we have to do is post a weapon and this puppies shut down for good.

We can have a great discussion without taking it "there".

Ashley Schaeffer BMW · 04-30-2014, 01:39 PM

Its pretty silly what is and isnt allowed in an Off Topic forum. Im guessing most of the mods are European and therefor dislike guns.

I was actually wondering where the firearms thread went...

And I just bought a new one myself (which is a small miracle itself considering I live in Canada). I guess I'll have to refrain from posting pictures for you to enjoy.
