Time to diversify basketball - too many blacks

[angryChineseKahanist]

Basketball is dominated by blacks. We need a program to diversify it.

Diversity is a code name for preferential treatment for blacks.

Silicon valley is incredibly diverse as a great many of the employees come from all over the world but especially India and east Asia.

Most whites in the NBA come from overseas. American white men are the ones discriminated against the most when it comes to playing in the NBA. Actually, the same thing probably applies to al American non-black men. How many Orientals are in the NBA? I know there's a guy from China. Was he born there or here?

I heard that the way the American college basketball system operates, it's hard for white men to join the NBA.

Great post binyamin


If you look at world sport all of the best Atheletes are white, Messi, Christiani Ronaldo, Robben, Wladimir Klitscko, Sergey Kovalev, Genedy Golovkin, NADAL, Fedrer, Djokovic, Rory Mcilroy, Michael phelps etc etc

The best players Basketball players are white imo, Jason, willimas, Dirk nitkowsi, steven nash, pistol pete, kevin love etc.

But the NBA is more likable than the NFL which really discrimiates against whites. The best team is a mainly white offesivel New England Patriots, players like 6 ft 6 GRONKOWSKI are way more Atheltic than the blacks, yet the league is 75 percent black.

Comon White Americans, wake up and step believing the Urban Myth that blacks are some king of supermen...

In the NFL most of the team is composed of line men, the requirements for the job is to be  a big thug, well maybe not quite but being a thug doesn't hurt. Running backs are mostly black. Quarter backs mostly white.

But anyway I think in sports there is allot more meritocracy then in most other work places. I can counter your example with many great black athletes but what is the point? The fact is if you excel in sport you can succeed regardless of race. For whatever reason blacks in the US are more predisposed to pick athletics as a career and they are over-represented in these jobs.

blacks excel in American sports. End of. Why. Because of the "system". Through propaganda that white males cant compete with them. You have drafts in US sports where the system completely discriminate against whites. THAT is Fact.

Ive mentioned this before, but take the Olympic games. High jump is dominated by Eastern Europeans. But White US males in general honestly believe black men jump higher.

Greg Rutherford won the Olympic Long jump, and can run a 10.4, but white US males honestly beleive they cant compete.

They use to call white US boxers the "great white hope". But boxing is now dominated by, you guessed it Eastern Europeans.

It has got to the point now that in the USA they are trying to find the next great black hope, bu Wladimir sucks all life out of them once they get in the ring with him.

Gennady Golovkin, Lemenchenko, Sergey Kovalaev to name a few will be all time greats in their respected divisions.

When all things are equal, blacks cant compete with whites at sport. Thats not racism, thats just science. And the fact that you say a high percentage go into sports, makes there failure to dominate world sport even more pathetic...

Maybe there is this "white men can't jump" belief in America, but still it doesn't mean anyone has to buy into that. Anyone of any color can train and compete and prove them wrong. If somebody believes he is not black enough to excell at sporf it's his choice.

Blacks use similar claims to justify affirmative action, ie- they are made to believe they stand no chance of succeeding in engineering.

I agree mate. The evidence is there for anyone of any colour in America to achieve great things in sport. Unfortunately Blacks have a very tribal when it comes to their sports. They kcked off when the Duke win the college basketball or Minesotta Timberwolves do well for having a mainly white rooster.
