First, I don't believe in reverse racism, racism is racism period. This may be old news, but I sat in frustration as I watched The Dan Patrick Show today and listened as Dan and the wimpettes were discussing some of the white basketball player 'cliches' or descriptions, such as, gym rat, cerebral, could be good coming off the bench, mentally tough, desceptively athletic or quick and on and on. Laughing and joking about all this, then turned it around in a more serious mannerand they asked the question as to what would happen if a black BBplayer were to be described that way and howracists that would be not to describe a black BB player in this manner. Nevermind asking how racist it already is to describe white BB playersin that way or to never describe white BB as athletic or quick period.
Does anyone understand this? It's incredible how people can pre-judge their on race make fun of them, and then turn around and justify not doing the same about another! It's like that old movie 'The Planet of The Apes', things have been turned upside down. I'm all for having fun and joking around, but what's good for one is good for another.
It's like Don says, "such is the sad state of affairs in this country".
