		<description>white boy, what are you trying to get? internal consistency? dime doesn&#039;t report the news, dime is not a newspaper. dime is a magazine. it&#039;s therefore not the news, but opinion.

do you see dime talking about each of the 30 teams everynight? equally? no. of course not. they talk about the teams/players that interest them. they will write 20+ articles a year about shoes but not many about raptors, or jazz, or kings, or whatever. it&#039;s their call.

just like their decision to only write about the political p.o.v. that they share.

you&#039;d have better luck preaching to the choir at &quot;red state ballers&quot; or some mag with that name. it&#039;s not going to happen here.

life isn&#039;t fair. I&#039;d like dime to talk about the jazz more -- but they don&#039;t. you want them to be less subjective over Obama. also not going to happen.</description>

		<description>Explain how dime purposely points out the misprint on Palin website and accuses her of lying (multiple times) and mentions nothing of Obama lies.  IF YOU A BASKEBALL WEBSITE STICK TO BASKETBALL. DONT BE POLITICAL.  

Here is another lie.

In your 1st debate with John McCain, you said that you never said that you would meet with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea without &quot;preparations&quot; at lower levels ... Joe Biden repeated your words in his debate with Sarah Palin … while the video tape from your debate last February clearly shows that you answered &quot;I would&quot; to the question of meeting with those leaders within 12 months without &quot;any&quot; preconditions. While your judgment about meeting with enemies of the USA without pre-conditions is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America in the debate with McCain.</description>

		<description>Again people Racism and Prejudice are to different things. 

Racism implies Racial Superiority...

Prejudice is Preference in relation to ones own Race/Cultural identity...

As far as mentioning White players in a post where people are going to pull for the most popular/talented players in the game. If you take the top 50 players in the league now, which white players crack that list? Unless you are claiming Argentinians, Spanish, German, etc players as white who would you pick of the top of your head? I have David Lee, Kirk, Nash, and after that I can&#039;t come up with any off the top...

People are so quick to toss around the word Racism (Black and White) and they don&#039;t even know what it means...

I do agree that white ball players are used as the butt of jokes, but I do remember glowing features on David Lee, Kirk Hinrich (when he was balling), JJ Redick was getting love. Kevin Love was getting love, Kaman when he was balling was getting love, Kapono was praised as he stroked up the league the past 3 years...it happens, but what white player should Dime be talking about in terms of popularity on the same level as:

Kobe, LeBron, CP3, Bosh, AI, Wade, McGrady, Baron, KG, Pierce, Dwight, Deron, Shaq, Rose, etc...

White players aren&#039;t the only ones that get picked on...Eddy Curry catches it more than any white player...I don&#039;t see it. Just saying call it what it is in the moment, don&#039;t save up examples and then bundle them all together...Doesn&#039;t help. 

This is a BBall Blog. Most contents are in the context of BBall...If you are preceived as weak, lazy, over praised for unjustifiable reasons, people are going to call you out and cut on you...Ridnour couldn&#039;t even start on his own team, but he was offered an Olympic tryout? Justify that? Forget Iverson, there are plenty of better ball handler/distributors in the league that were better, but why did luke get a look? Kirk Hinrich in my eyes is legit. He is the only player in the league that I&#039;ve witnessed give guys like Wade a Problem defensively and on offense he holds his own. 

I don&#039;t see it, so I would say elaborate or call it what it is in the moment. Was the Olympic selection committee racist then?

Call it out in the moment is all I&#039;m saying...If it was the reverse some would say we are just playing the race card and complaining...You could always take solace in the fact that the best players are black, but those cutting the check are white if you really want to racialize BBall hierarchy and fandom. 

I guess I just don&#039;t understand...</description>

		<description>123 has a point. Whats up with the racism dime???

The whole time you backed obama too, and killed mccain or palin.

Dont mind the backing, but accusing people of lying, then not mentioning when obama lies...

why the racism???

here is your boy lying...

The Chicago Sun reported on May 8, 2008 that FBI records showed that you had a significantly closer relationship with Tony Rezko than what you previously admitted. In the interview, you said that you only saw Mr. Rezko a couple of times a year. The FBI files showed that you saw him weekly While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied 
to America about it. 

i got plenty more dime.</description>

		<description>Sure Kobe would get Cali votes, but dont forget that Ohio, Pennsylvania and Colorado were among the &quot;swing&quot; states.  Gotta imagine, Lebron would dominate Ohio.  Kobe never got much love in Pennsylvanie, despite it being his home (im sure we all remember the boos).  And I hate to drag it up for the millionth time, but I cant exaclty picture a lot of love from Colorado.  

Well atleast this president would have already gotten his sex scandal out of the way.</description>

		<description>haha

that&#039;s assuming Deron would listen to Andrei, in which case i&#039;d question D-Will&#039;s mind set as well for listening to A GROWN ASS MAN who is known to throw temper tantrums. 

and yes it&#039;s true CP doesn&#039;t have his best days against D-Will but itz not like CP doesn&#039;t get his stats as well</description>
