Let's see. There's Greek leagues here in NYC where if you aren't baptized Orthodox you can't play. There are leagues like this all over the US.Why are people so uptight. I mean damn.

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-whitegroups of people in this country.

this could be epic. Well at least they're getting Exposure. I could see Chris Anderson flourishing ut there if he got banned from the NBA again.

It's the wrong thing to say because of the implication that by being a minority, you have special privileges that shouldn't be accessibleto 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'thave tolerance for any organization that prohibits membership or participation based on race.Originally Posted by red mpls

On another note,at some of the jokes in this thread.
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 tojoin as well- it's completely different.

How sad to have to be that you admit you cant even compete with Black dudes?
I've seen all white teams beat Black teams, its basically admitting that you're inferior to Black players like you are women.

Not entirely. In Moose's eyes, white people are also just better people and black people are dangerous to be around (they might flip you off or grab theircrotch) so in his eyes he isn't creating an inferior league at all but rather a superior league by taking away all the streetball playing, dangerous,crotch grabbing, minorities. Trying to compare it to HBCUs or BET is beyond moronic, though that's what is going on an every message board all over theinternet

If you classify the ability of people of color to form their own sports leagues as a "special privilege," how do you classify the factthat, in 2010, employers are more likely to hire white ex-offenders than black folks with no criminal background?Originally Posted by K2theAblaM

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.
