Article: Pacers too white

[xSquatx]

The Pacers just saw this exact thread (lie) and decided to sign Dahntay Jones (truth)

lol....i can see it now on ESPN tomorrow of all the "experts" talking about how the Pacers are "university racists" because they now have like 3 Duke players on the roster hahaha!

I think he did bring a valid arguement up though, all the time its that african americans arent being given the same chance by an organization, well in this case its the complete opposite, and if african americans are going to call there situations unfair, so should whites i think..

this makes me really mad, what if someone wrote that a team was too black?

they really would be in trouble.

it just makes me mad that people still write things like this

then he would have the entire african-american community knocking at his door. there is a double standard for race and that's why this isnt being even more widely talked about

i completely agree..if this were the opposite you'd have all these famous african americans talking about how they continue to get discriminated and how this MUST be changed...

eh just to toss this in here but there is no such thing as race...its a cultural construct. Ethnicity does exist but yeah there is no human race...species and the ethnic groups that make it up do exist.

I agree with everyone here, this is silly. Obviously the Pacers players aren't too worried about it - I don't see comments from any of them.

Haha this is absurd. I mean ignoring the fact that this is a stupid argument, what about the Toronto Raptors? Jose Calderon, Andrea Bargnani, Joey Graham, Jake Voskuhl, Hedo Turkoglu, and that one point guard from Croatia?

[Reggie_Miller]

^^ umm....Joey Graham is not white lol ;)

and yes obviously none of the NBA players today are complaining about it...across the league everybody is good friends with their own teammates, such as off the court stuff. It might be a big deal if the players would go into the media and complain, but as far as I know, nobody has yet!
