Well, I couldn't avoid it. Since the first time I found this site (through a google search), this site got under my skin and has been bothering me. So, I've been reading for a couple of weeks and my restraint has waned.
First, the basic stuff...

I consider myself liberal and for the most part I have disagreed with practically everything I have read here. Although, like many of you, I am against illegal unskilled labor and vehemently against reparations.
So, your thesis statement for this site...that whites are discrimnated against by recruiters, media, etc. I had never thought of this before and I don't believe this discrimination is nearly as extensive that some of you make it out to be.
I was raised in Utah. The only pro sport is NBA and the Utah Jazz. I grew up watching Stockton and Malone, the greatest duo in sports as far as I'm concerned. One was a smallish guard from the pacific northwest with the lung capacity of a grizzly bear. The other an imposing powerful forward from the south with a work ethic that is unmatched. They came from two of the most different backgrounds possible. This brought out the best in sports. These 2 played together for some 18 years overcoming differences and becoming closer friends. They fit each other like a glove. Without Malone, Stockton would have never have been the all-time assists leader. Without Stockton, Malone would have never been the second highest scorer in NBA history. This is a prototype for how race relations can bring out the best in sports.
Back to your thesis. If indeed it is correct, a condition I'm not conceding yet, why do you consistently denegrate the black athlete and presume him guilty until proven innocent. This supposed culture in american sports that descriminates against white athletes is not the fault of black athletes. Even if they benefit from the culture, it is not manufactured by black athletes. So, why do you believe you have the authority to denegrate blacks at every chance? I have no quarrels with celebrating the white athlete, but you seem to turn this into unbridled bigotry. This is uncalled for.
On a side note. A very sad thing has happened locally here in SLC. Destiny Norton, a 5 year old girl, was found dead in a neighbor's basement after missing for a week.link
And yes, it was intentional posting that here.
