If I could downvote your ass, I would. I would do it so fast.
Oh! You think racism was just law that kept black folk from using the front door or pooping in the same toilet. You must also be one of those people who think that racism died in 1965 (or 1972 if you like history) because at that point, all Americans were equal under the law or something like that. Though I understand…
I like what you said because it's as if marketing is objective and not based upon real life biases and prejudices. Say some more marketing terms for "hire more white cheerleaders" because that'll really explain it.
Did you mean to post that like a bazillion times?
He does theorize that the majority black crowd doesn't want to buy season tickets. He also theorizes that he needed to attract more whites to get season ticket owners because, again, black people won't buy them. Then, by doing simple math you'd realize that he'd have to reduce the amount of people in the stadium, who…
Firstly, Go Thunder!
Actually, these conversations don't come up all the time (in public). The important distinction here is that "black" is patently different than "white", "teenager", or "boomer" because no one in the later category has been systemically excluded from, well, anything. He is trying, as he said, to get more white's to…
Or you saying black people are a "majority" in this instance because they make up the "majority" population at a basketball game? So they're majority-minorities?
Thanks man, seriously. I'll read this and some other things and genuinely reply.
That was in the article! Kareem is "Many, if not most"?
I am genuinely impressed at the amount of people in Deadspin commentary that legitimately believe this isn't racist. If anything is an example of true-form racism, this is it. Right here. An owner of an NBA team trying to figure out how to reduce the presence of black people in his arena, reduce the image of black…
How is it more inclusive by reducing the black population?
Many, if not most? Can you drop some links up in here so I can read about that?

He definitely gets points for fighting to change this issue. But we, here on Jezebel and abroad, have a pretty long track record of lauding men who simply make this stance. I'm only pointing out how harrowing that is.
That's definitely a hope! But it's depressing to me to hope for basic human rights.
So, Uncle Joe is pretty great. And he said very on point, very strong things about domestic violence and sexual assault. But also, have you ever thought about how we hold people up as paragons, specifically men, when they are capable of making this sort of statement? Isn't this a basic concept of human rights? That…
Goddamnit man, don't make more depressed.
Why do so many people fall back on the fallacy of a "color-blind" society when trying to promote humane treatment of people of color? Can't you just say: "This is a really old racial slur. We should be embarrassed for calling Native Americans this word up until 2014. Sorry guys."
I don't think any group have ever…
