Now, if he'd said, "Man there's a lot of Vick #7 jerseys in the crowd tonight. Good thing it's only blacks wearing them, probably gave them away free with an order of rib tips" that might have been construed as racist.

rib tips are off the hook. The stereotype of fried chicken, greens, watermelon and biscuits being foods that blacks exclusively makes me laugh. I see people of all nationalities down here in the south eating all of the above. Especially once you get out of the affluent areas of Atlanta.

With the black population being 13% of the nation do you think KFC, Popeyes and Churchs could stay open in 50 states with the sales of only blacks? I doubt it.

Yeah, we know TO's black, so is Randy Moss and 99% of the league's good WR's. You don't have to rub it in.

nooo...

that's not what he meant.

he meant that a lot of black players commit turnovers because, well, the majority of the players in the nba are black.



he's not trying to rub it in.

Obviously you don't have a grip on this race issue thing, being "Korean" and all. Minority players = NBA = black. Us white boys are the majorities. We're called that because we actually make a majority of our free throws.
