That's lazy reasoning. His kiss cam can't be "too black" in an arena that is 48% black in a city that is 54% black. Saying it's "too black" is playing games with what it means to be in a majority black city. If they reduce it, how should they do so? How many black people must they show to still appropriately represent…

He's trying to attract more by having less black people in both his staff and arena. And also to not show black people as much on the kiss-cams. I didn't know that was such a big deal? Can you tell me about why white people hate seeing black people kiss? I don't get it.

He wants to sell tickets to whites! And he's operating under the belief that black people won't buy season tickets, ergo he needs white fans to buy tickets! So, he thinks how can I get more white people to buy tickets? Oh! I know, but reducing the black people in the arena! His fans are, in attendance, 48% black in a…

Hey, Semantic-Argument-Guy, again! You doing okay? I just went back and looked at my arguments with other people who think racism isn't racism but I don't know where the semantics are. Could you explain them to me?

Hey, Clearly-Upset-About-Reverse-Racism-Guy! I've been trying to respond earnestly to everyone's comments, so let me know if I get off track or am overly condescending or something.

Hey, Semantic-Argument-Guy! I know a lot of the time when people are presented with "touchy" subjects like "is labeling an entire race of people, historically labeled as something negative, as dishonest and untrustworthy bad?" that we like to jump into semantics fights about what does "racism" really mean. But we…

Hey bro, thanks for coming in here and wonderfully dropping the incomplete definition for racism like people don't have google in 2014.

I like you.

Man, she's annoying as shit.

Right! You're absolutely correct about whether he pushed to fill the seats that are unsold and turned comped tickets into pay-tickets he could increase revenue. But that's a race neutral analysis. He wasn't applying a race-neutral anything at all. His very assumption is that the 2,919 seats would be filled if his…

Firstly, it's called multitasking, you fuck. I take my position as a gas-station attendant very seriously and my professionalism is the utmost. You would know that if you ever had the chance to enter my store, on my shift, and see what a tight ship I run.

You're right in part and absolutely fucking wrong in part. You're right to say the Hawks suck. Cause they do. And that really nothing but not sucking is gonna make people flood to the Arena.

That was funny because it was relevant!

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…
