BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION.
give me a break on all this white devil racist crap.
there are more ONLY BLACK organizations in this country then there will EVERY be of any other race.
our government even has an "ALL BLACK CAUCUS"
what a load of bullshit that anybody who disagrees with this to call it "racist"
and to whoever was saying the Black Miss America is for making black women feel beautiful..... your saying they ARENT allowed to be beautiful in the regular miss America Pageant?
the definition of racism means nothing anymore and 95% of america doesnt know what real racism is.... just hide in a closet somewhere if your going to make ignorant statements...

While the establishment of these groups and organizations may have had noble origins (mainly to combat institutional racism AND other societally "acceptable" racial injustices), they've not adjusted quickly enough to a society that has fast grown to be multicultural, multiracial and extremely progressive.
Whether or not the intent of this basketball league is an attempt to Aryanize a segment of the sport or simply an appeal to basketball purists, I don't know for certain. However, I suspect that the former is likely.
One thing is for certain: it is clearly polarizing and carries racist undertones, particularly as a) NBA rosters have become as diverse (read: less black) as I've EVER witnessed, b) many of the current NBA players possess varying degrees of basketball fundamental prowess and c) this league's beginnings are geographically in a region of the country where racism has historically been societal tenet for those who comprise the majority.
All that said, MrDeeno is spot on: This will not end well.
