I think the dress policy is misdirected and racist, but I don’t think it’s based on racism on Stern’s part, I just can’t see that guy as racist. A hard businessman maybe, and no activist, but not a racist. I think it’s based rather on having to react to the American public’s race-based assumptions and the press’s tendency to play to them for sales. Let’s be honest, they weren’t angry about white guys turning up looking like trailer trash, it was the word “thug” being thrown around by the media and the fans, and the sort of open-but-hidden racism that word allows to slosh around.

More recently, look at Yahoo’s headline, “Knicks G Robinson arrested”. It leaves out the cause so all we see is the common association of a tattooed black man and legal trouble, regardless of it’s nature. If Wally Szcerbiak or Z Ilgauskas was arrested, I’m not so sure we’d see arrested there, truth be told I’m not sure we’d see any article at all about a boring white man neglecting to pay a fine.

Probably cuz they smell the smugness seeping through that little demonic goblins lizard pores..

Who needs security during the daytime in Harlem? You sissies make it sound like its Jamaica or Serbia or some shyt

Wonder if Stern got a low cut with a tight fade on the side so he can rock his do-rag tonight before all the hair grows back and he is in the media again.

Couple of them cats lookin like they wanna rob Stern lol.

How come Jones didn’t roll through on the skateboard screaming Harlem!
