To post #4.

You just don’t add Rose to those other names after just 1yr. in the league. Rose will never burn Wade, NEVER. Even Rose himself would say I shouldn’t be included with those guys…yet! ONe day, perhaps.

You idiots. I don’t care about reverse racism. I just thought it was inappropriate. I’m black myself, and I thought it was funny since i personally hate duke and JJ, but there are so many other things you can pick on with JJ outside of him being white.

@Bron42 aka Was Ignorant before Internet

Ekstor was exactly right with the statement you made I had an issue with. If I were to be as ignortant as you and make a statement about black people as a whole that was incorrect it would be racist. News flash, racism and stereotyping are not mutually exclusive, a statement can be both at the same time.

Found it funny how you changed your words in your following responses from “white people…” to “A LOT of white people…” big difference, glad you owned up to your behavior and tweaked it moving forward. It is extremely ignorant to make claims based on entire race. Every race has good people and idiots, just because one white person does something or says something, doesn’t mean ALL white people follow suit.

If you wanted the statement to be empty, then attach “some” or “a few” or even “most” to your statement. By not attaching those words you stereotyped the entire white race under your statement which was as wrong as it was ignorant.

And I never cried foul about the JJ comment, in fact I did the opposite and defended Dime for the funny joke it was. Go talk to Chico, he started the whole non-issue and tried to turn into an issue.

@griff, I said swimming but again it’s different. The NBA ratio of black to white isn’t just cuz bball is black culture lol tons of white guys play in high school and college but don’t cut it as pros. Swimming like hockey is different since ur prolly not gonna find a bunch of black guys on college swim teams who just can’t cut it in the olympics or something. Minorities don’t play hockey therefore it’s a Canadian/white dominant sport. You can’t say the same about whites playing basketball because they do. Nothing wrong with it though. Some people here just need tougher skin to understand comments before crying foul

@ekstor, that’s not ever close to racist lol but ok let’s go with it. Read any news paper article forum and that is all u see. When the uconn cb someone actually put “maybe he was talking to a white cheerleader and deserved it” THATS racist. Me sayin alot of white people cry revrse racism is just a empty statement. Nothing rude about it, do putting anyone down. He’ll you had people trying to reach and compare Jamie foxx tellin Miley Cyrus to just make a sex tape already after she “accidently leaked” naked pics of herself on the net, to don imus randomly going after the rutgers girls. That’s what I meant by they reach. Reverse racism is me saying screw u ur white don’t come in my store.

P.s: alot of white guys in the NBA are role players. And you can’t compare it to hockey since there’s a tooooooonnnnnn of white college ball players who just aren’t good enough. There’s not a ton of black college hockey players or swimmers who just suck. Were either good at it or don’t play those sports lol most white American born players don’t cut it after college cuz their usually not athletic enough

@Bron42,

I’m pretty sure Notorious was referring to your opening line “I love when white people try to hype up reverse racism, they reach soooo hard for anything…”
