I thought you were an idiot before...but you sealed the deal with this one.

I mean, in my opinion, any single race event/group/faction is stupid, and only perpetuates the idea of racism and segregation, whether it's self-induced or oppressive.

Do away with this only black or only white crap.

, white people go to and play sports at blackschools. This leagues is not allowing other than whites play

ImNotYou, your emotional so you just have to get over it. Its comical that I pissed you off enough to google the definition of tone and post it, becausewhether or not your right it doesn't matter. You don't know what my tone was and you can't prove what my tone was. You read what I said before andYOU decided to perceive "my tone" as prejudice because thats what YOU wanted to obtain from it. It was never prejudice and I'm not gonna sit herearguing with a dude who flaunts a picture of himself and his shapeup on a all male board. I'm out

When are tryouts? We should sponsor a NT'er to attend.

That was the wrong thing to say.

Why because people don't want to hear the truth? That's exactly what makes this different from, say, an "all Chinese" league... the fact that Chinese people, or any other group besides whites, don't have a centuries-long history of genocide, enslavement and exploitation of non-white groups of people in this country.

On another note,

at some of the jokes in this thread.

It's the wrong thing to say because of the implication that by being a minority, you have special privileges that shouldn't be accessible to the majority, which is not the case. An all white league would be just as bad as an all Black league or an all Asian basketball league. We shouldn't have tolerance for any organization that prohibits membership or participation based on race.

People are quick to point out HBCU's but I see that as a preservation of history and culture while allowing folks of different ethnicity the opportunity to join as well- it's completely different.

If you classify the ability of people of color to form their own sports leagues as a "special privilege," how do you classify the fact that, in 2010, employers are more likely to hire white ex-offenders than black folks with no criminal background?

In the face of this type of discrimination, it seems fairly inconsequential that black folks might be able to start an all-black basketball league.

You apparently have absolutely no concept of how the world works.

I think you might be missing my argument.

First off, we need a source for the quote in red.

Secondly, even IF that holds true, it doesn't justify the creation of an all white or an all black league. There's absolutely no sense in fighting discrimination with more discrimination. Starting an all Black League or an all Asian League in spite of White America's alleged workplace discrimination does nothing but segregate people even more.

So back to the original original statement, being the majority doesn't make the all white league any worse than it already is and being a minority doesn't give you the right to discriminate against other races either. It's all wrong.

http://opr.princeton.edu/research/person.asp?id=pager

Your conception of "discrimination" and concern with the possibility of such "discrimination" against the white majority is laughable.

So what if black folks wanted a basketball league to themselves? They were forced to do such things out of necessity for decades. Now the white man wants totell them that they can't anymore since the white man has decided to let black folks into his league (which the white man still owns and controls)?

As far as an all black league only serving to "segregate people even more," do you have any understanding of the historic and current housingpractices (public and private) in this country that have made segregation a pillar of life in many (if not all) American cities despite the Civil RightsMovement, up to the present day? If you were, I doubt that you would in any way concern yourself with the notion that an all-black basketball league would beresponsible for fostering any kind of significant racial "segregation."

how does one try out for this league? i'd be down to try out.

Its a shame I have to read this while looking at the NT MLK banner, truly a shame!
