Read the article. Just fucking bullshit.

who's parent's are both caucasion nowadays?

[blob 1985]

Nothing wrong with the league, but what the guy has said is pretty racist. There are all-black colleges and scholarships that I was never able to touch, but no all-white colleges or scholarships.

Because, statistically, as a white male you have a certain amount of privilege that will make it easier for you to be admitted to schools, and again, statistically, you will come from a higher income family. Scholarships like that level the playing field.

[Mitch 2111]

Not to mention statistically blacks are more likely to head to prison compared to latinos, asians and caucasians. You know the percentage of blacks that actually graduate high school and make it to college? Not much realistically in comparison to other ethnicities.

Good point, but are you saying that's a result of their race, or prejudice against them/ a product of the situation many black families find themselves in as a result institutional racism in the US?

[Mitch 2111]

It's a situation. Like honestly, I know some african americans at my school, and they honestly do not think through their decisions before they do stupid things. :/

[Noire 17]

yah I think through my stupid decisions before I do stupid things

Desperation can cause people to do stupid things.

Just look at Zeus...

Or the fact that...(If only I was in the FFA)

I do see what he is trying to say, but he failed pretty hard at it.

Well.. I am going to imagine this is a privately funded league.

Therefore, who gives a shit?

Do you think Nike, Adidas, or Reebok would even consider touching this league with a 10ft pole? Obviously not.

They will be privately funded, and quite honestly a lot of privately funded groups and associations are restrictive.

This is true... I suppose this way it will divert funding from other projects hate groups, who will inevitably be the only large donors, might be working on.

if this guy wants a white only league... who gives a shit? i see where the guy is coming from with the so called "Street Ball" in that most of the people i have played pick up basketball are in general, retards who want to start fights about stupid shit- but the white ones are just as likely as the other ethnicities to be asses. So i dont think this guy is going to solve anything but the color "issue" with his league. On the other hand... I will be honest and say, in my experiences, every time i have ever had something stolen from me it was by a black dude... at a basketball court/game/area... and they were ghetto ass in your face disrespectful assholes. when i play ultimate, which is pretty balanced when it comes to races, i have NEVER had an issue with anyone or had anything stolen, generally everyone is just there to have fun, no talkin shit. so i am going to wrap this up with saying that in my opinion there is a "aura" about basketball of disrespect, dishonesty and general asshatery, and that is the main reason i stopped playing- but that was streetball. so this guy making a pro league of whites is stupid, because at the pro level all that ghetto shit doesn't exist they are fucking pros- professionals- as in they players do basketball for a job.

[BlackStone 66]

Moral of the above story. Stay out of the ghetto.

[fatb0y 1337]

I actually have to ask...

If there really is an All Caucasian League.. where exactly do these people think their money is going?

generally, its going to Asia and South America. LOL FAIL.

[BlackStone 66]

In the end, yep. Their still giving money to those they wish to keep out. Its how the world goes round.

[Ben 161]

I lol'd

but seriously.. i would be afraid to play against some of the black players of the NBA (No Racist)

[Zachmanman 877]

Duh guys... its because black people kick white people's ass at basketball and this gives the white people a chance to play some bball

[Pooky 1]

Lol wow...

[Elmo 1272]

Lol wow...

I have no problem with this league, although the guy who made it obviously tried and failed hard to not sound racist.

[I <3 People of Color 2]

"Lewis denies that he is a racist but he wants to get away from "street ball" played by "people of color" that dominate the NBA."

Hey guys I'm not racist I just hate people of color - Lewis

I love how he stated it as people of color when that's my name.

[apathy 1]

if he wants an all white group of ball plaers then let him do it. Not going to last long.

i like how you necro'd this
