Can you imagine the furor if a white called for an all-white league but when a black calls for black separatism, that is treated respectfully. Why is it OK for Jews, Asians, Latinos and Blacks to segregate themselves but not OK for whites to segregate themselves?
Doesn’t Larry Johnson understand the great joys of racial diversity?
A friend writes about the Donald Sterling controversy: “Contrast and compare the attention this insult to the manhood of the NBA has received vs. the damage to the brain of Detroit White Man Steve Utash.”
The Washington Times reports:
New York Knicks executive Larry Johnson has a different take on the racial fire that’s recently ignited over Clippers owner Donald Sterling, looking at the broader picture to make his main point: It’s high time blacks started their own league, he said.
In a tweet, the former star player wrote: “Black people your Focusing on the wrong thing. We should be focusing on having our own, Own team own League! To For Self!!”
It’s not the first time that Mr. Johnson drew critical attention to the fact that the NBA is headed primarily by white executives and played mostly by black athletes, the New York Post reported. In 1999, he said during the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs that, “We’ve got a lot of rebellious slaves on this [Knicks] team.”
He followed that up with an explanation of his use of the word slaves: “We don’t go with the mainstream,” he said, the New York Post reported.
