Are There Too Many Blacks in the NBA?
I have a confession to make: I’m a huge sports fan but I’ve never been interested in basketball. What I love about baseball, on the other hand, is that it’s like a Greek tragedy played out in venues large and small across the nation; epic when hometown heroes rise up against Goliaths, tragic when they fall back to earth under stadium lights, late into that final game of the World Series. Football reminds me of college in a strangely patriotic way. The greatest teams succeed because they have perfected a passionate, fraternal bond that evolves into something beautiful in its military-like precision. And as I grow older, I find the gentle game of golf pensive and respectable, a pastime that makes me shake my head in wonder when that little white ball lands just right on a lush plateau of green. Even the “sport of kings” has inspired me to stand up and cheer. What could be more mesmerizing than seeing a noble animal gallop down the home stretch, soon to be crowned with its justly deserved laurel of roses?
But not basketball. I do not find the game to be profound or inspiring in any way. How could anyone? It looks a parking lot knife fight. All that jumping and shoving and shouting and spitting. All those exposed armpits. Sneakers screeching. Elbows jabbing. And who is having any fun here? Certainly not the players, in their gaudy and ill-fitting attire. Nor the coaches, who seem to fall into two categories: the skinny balding cokehead or the fat sweaty tyrant screaming about maneuvers that his jolly frame could never manage. And the fans? Well, let’s just say that a loud, graphic game with only about five basic rules does not attract the brightest bulbs in the box.
Does any sense of sportsmanship even exist in basketball? The sad truth is that the only way to get ahead in a match is by being intensely selfish on the court. Yes, they pantomime coordination and cooperation, but when it comes right down to it, it’s 10 players playing for 10 separate teams out there. Should we really be surprised when commentators put more emphasis on an individual’s nightly stats than on the final scores of the teams themselves?
In the last twenty years, America’s young people have grown very interested in basketball. There is a sense of displacement in this fascination, however, something akin to children in the suburbs listening to violent inner city rap music. The vast majority of boys do not have a natural, genetic connection to the game. For them, it is an exotic world that they dream about because it is so very different. A safe, loving home contrasts harshly with the aggression of basketball. Considering the knife fight analogy again, this major league sport draws in the types of voyeuristic children who lack the psychological sophistication to discern between competitiveness and outright violence. The parking lot witness becomes a participant in this brutality with his eyes and the beating of his heart. The animus lodged in the young fan’s soul then carries over to his home life. Quit simply, the game is a wound on the body of American values.
Clearly the fundamental problem with basketball is that its players do not mirror our families. They are more exotic than familiar, shaded in tones and values that are both strange and objectionable. I do not hate the blacks. In point of fact, I actually envy them their success in our national enterprise, but I must honestly question their outsized role in our society. We are talking about what is essentially an immigrant minority that is less than 8% of the U.S. population. Through affirmative action and corrupt recruiting techniques, this ethnic group has won disproportionate placement in many facets of our culture. Television is a verifiable example of this. The percentage of blacks on prime time shows is close to 450% of the reality when compared to our population. A caveat, however: crime series seem to be forbidden from using black actors as rapists or thieves, despite the fact that this ethnic group is in reality represented in our prisons at 5 or 6 times the rate of the white population.
Can we take a step back and just admit that it’s a bit absurd to have all these black players in professional basketball? The image of these gargantuan men with their shaved heads and gold jewelry stomping around a rancid, hot arena is rather embarrassing when you think about it. What if the liberals in this country decided to force another minority to dominate a sport? If hockey were all Mexican, would you watch it? Could you imagine the tacky lights and the Oompa Loompa music! What about NASCAR with Orientals or tennis played only by the bums who claim “Attention Deficit Disorder”? I’m surprised Obama’s Title IX czars haven’t attempted dyslexic lesbian wrestling or Eskimo atheist rodeos. This is what you get when political correctness stupidly interferes with the natural balance of competitive sports.
While basketball is popular among a select demographic, it does not resonate in the heartland. It lacks the ethics of sportsmanship and personal triumph so necessary in a true national pastime. It does not raise us up as a whole. Nor is it a drama that humbles us as individuals. In the final analysis, it is little more than gritty inner city savagery unscrupulously exported to stable but naïve households.
Could this change? Could professional basketball be reformed? Indeed, the most critical issue facing the game today is its lack of white players. This would easily be rectified if team owners and coaches were made to realize that their long-term financial health genuinely depends on it. How many parents and families would joyfully return to the sport if they saw that it was a heartfelt, sincere reflection of their most cherished beliefs? Furthermore, the stigma of the ghetto needs to be separated from the game. A broader, more open court would help. Appropriate and masculine clothing would be far appealing than the silky boudoir pajama look. Maybe the court itself needs to be reconsidered. Make it look less like the setting for a carjacking and more like a challenging obstacle course where brainpower and teampower rule the game.
Well, that’s this sports fan’s two cents for the day. Goodbye and God bless!

So…Basically turn it into another version of football?
“A broader, more open court would help.”
The court is small for a reason. Allows for the game to be fast-paced and action packed.
“Appropriate and masculine clothing”
The clothing is appropriate for that sport. In football you wear big pads and a helmet because you are purposely tackling into guys. Golf you wear comfy clothes because of the more laid back nature of the game. Basketball you wear light clothes for better manuvering and keep yourself cool. Imagine how fast a basketball player would tire out if he wore a football uniform in a basketball game.
“Make it look less like the setting for a carjacking”
I’m sorry, I can’t see what you are even talking about at this point. A basketball court looks like a basketball court…
“challenging obstacle course where brainpower and teampower rule the game”
A team of ridiculously tall men trying their hardest to keep you from getting the ball to your hoop…How is that not challenging? The brainpower is in the quick decision making needed to decide what to do next in a split-second. It’s still a team sport, yes the media tends to focus of single players at a time…But the media also usually just focuses on what they think will grab people’s attention…

I believe we need a reverse Affirmative Action system in the NBA. It is clearly biased and controlled by lobbies that are disproportionately recruiting blacks. If the NBA is truly representative of America’s demographic spread, there should be far more white players.
Would we allow this to happen, where clearly more white men are being hired while blacks are given the shaft? I don’t think so. So why are we letting this industry get away? The same rules should apply to the NBA. Until owners and coaches can be responsible enough to not be racist by recruiting exclusively blacks, there should be some sort of quota of whites and other races that have to be on the active roster.

Hockey is most popular in Canada and if you look at that country, it is majority white. NASCAR is in American, and again, majority white. I don’t see black people clamoring to be hockey stars in Canada or NASCAR drivers here. If it was an episode of BaitCar, they would be superstars though.
That aside, the simple fact is there are plenty of qualified white people who want to play in the NBA. The NBA has a proven and visible tradition of denying white people the right to play pro ball. That is discriminatory and subjects white people to the right to get into the NBA via litigation if necessary.

Basketball is an American sport, or at least what airs on American tv, yet it’s composed of mostly black people, and you’re trying to make the claim that if the opposite were true, then they’d be up in arms about it. Well, guess what, there are two sports in America that have American competitions and are composed of mostly white people. Now, are you going to still be hypocritical, or admit that there are still sports where most of the people involved, if not all, are white?

All sports should be majority white, just like everyone else is saying. Basketball is wildly biased in the favor of blacks, it’s true, and if the government is willing to coerce businesses to hire more blacks when things seem out of whack, then they should also be required to hire more whites when things are this off base. The law works both ways and there needs to be more done about it.
And quite frankly, I prefer a more academic game of basketball. Stanford of the late 90s had a stellar program. The smart, quick and unselfish passes; the half-court zone defensive trap; the three point and free-three shooting accuracy; the coaching and smart, non-thuggish play on the floor. It is how the game should be played. That’s how I play when I step onto the court. Dr. Billings is spot on.

I think affirmative action is actually a detriment to black people and is another reverse ploy by Democrats to enact slavery by creating dependency. It’s almost a bigger reverse ploy than inner-city housing vouchers, free health care and food stamps. All create a cycle of dependency that is breeding more and more non-working black people.

“What are you having for dinner tonight? Do you like the Mentalist tv show? Have you ever had a boil on you ankle?”
I will not answer these questions, as they are completely irrelevant.
“I am very excited that Santorum is getting ahead of that socialist Romney jerk.”
Congratulations. They’re both republican cocksuckers.
“Do you think a man should pluck the hairs of his nipples?”
Shall I post this question of yours on Christwire? This is the second time you’ve tried to engage me in a conversation about nipples. Sick fuck.
“Have you ever seen his shirtless photos? They’re all over the internet.”
Unlike you, I do not cruise the internet for topless photos of senators.
“Has L.N. ever tried to hit on you?”
No, but I wouldn’t give a crap if he did. Me and L.N share common beliefs and he’s not a sexist piece of shit like you are, so it would be fine if he hit on me. When you attempt to hit on me, however, I simply want to vomit.
“It upsets me he’s such a dog on the site, chasing everyone.”
I have NEVER seen L.N behave in such a manner. But even if he did, he’s not a creep like you, so I doubt anybody would mind.
“He writes like he never got out of 3rd grade.”
He writes very intelligently, unlike you.
“Unlike you, you’re definitely sharper and will make a wonderful wife to a guy some day.”
Billings, how many times have we been over this? I am NOT interested in becoming a wife to ANYBODY. Also, why would a sharp woman make a good wife? According to you, women are only good for two things: “Two hands– one for cooking, the other for loving!”
“Send me those photos, okay?”
Photos? Perhaps you forgot that you’re talking to a 21-year-old female instead of a 10-year-old boy?
“See ya, babe.”
I find it highly disturbing that in the span of four sentences you used both the words “kiddo” and “babe” to refer to me.

I am working on an amazing story about everyone’s favorite crime drama The Mentalist! Now there’s one man I bet you want to see shirtless! Laughing out loud Claire well it’s allright you are okay in my book, even when you’re going nuclear on family values and American traditions. Some day when you’re older you’ll vote my way I can bet you on that one! So cheer up, you will find a man some day! God bless my precious.

I give you my time to explain a solution to your issues… And this is what I get in return?

Billings, you’re trying to help your ego. You call me some nasty things behind my back, making more accusations against me and my character without proof (or even ways of hinting such an attitude, name one time I’ve ever hit on any girl that’s been to this site; with how often you talk about children and how you’re so against homosexuals, it’s VERY easy to say you’re nothing but a pedophile and gay man stuck deep in the closet), you change the conversation around instead of the actual subject, and all you do is prove that you’re a coward. Have you ever answered questions head on, or do you just run away?

“I offer to help out your unemployed sister.”
Did I ever say that she’s unemployed?
“I try to be that passionate ear to all your female teenage problems.”
I’m not a teenager and I don’t have problems.
“I give you my time to explain a solution to your issues”
The problem is that I don’t HAVE issues.
“… And this is what I get in return?”
Precisely. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I gave you numerous opportunities to simply end the whole thing by providing your “credentials”.
“I think anyone reading our email exchange will see that I am only trying to HELP you and yet you’re so bent on your campaign of harrassment you can’t see the forest in the trees.”
On the contrary, I think anyone reading our exchange will see that I was trying to get your supposed credentials and you were avoiding the issue.

The only times you’ve told me that is when you’re attempting to derail the topic by bringing up something totally irrelevant.
Not only have I NEVER expressed interest in you, but I HATE you with a passion, which is something that you’re aware of. As a matter of fact, back when I was 18 (and you KNEW I was only 18) you said something to the effect of “If you saw my body, you’d like it”.
You’re just so fucking lonely and desperate for friendship that you’re willing to lie and say that your worst enemy is actually your friend. You’re a pathetic old man who quite honestly has NOTHING to live for. You might as well end it all right now.
P.S. Shall I tell everybody the ethnicity of the 26-year-old woman you just broke up with?
