Also best quote in quite some time

"How did we get a roster that resembles the 1955 Lakers?" asked Tyrone Terrell, chairman of St. Paul's African American leadership council. "I think everything is a strategy. Nothing happens by happenstance."

[CCorn]

Utah has been doing this for years.

[trowa]

the kings were once like that

[eddiewinslow]

They drafted a black pg named Flynn and the white pg the drafted beat him out(Rubio) they drafted a black sf named Wes Johnson and the white kirilenko beat him out this offseason and finally they drafted a black pf in Derrick williams the white Kev love beat him out too...starting peckovic is racist bc there are black FA centers who are better correct? God sometimes I get sick of black people throwing out the race card at every instance just annoying mr terrell

[conquistador#11]

so when the fuhrer is the leader it automatically makes you a racist? I feel sorry for their mamas.

This guy is a perfect example of a first class racist jackass. It is 2012 dumbass Terrell. Stop pulling the race card because some white boys beat out the black guys on a specific team. It isn't like Minnesota went out and drafted only white guys.

It is people like that guy that keep racism an issue in this country. You have nobody else to blame but yourself.

Freakin' hilarious!

Timberwolves aside, this is one of the most ignorant things I've heard in a while. You really feel like its people like Tyrone Terrell who keep racism an issue in this country? How about George Zimmerman, the NYPD, and those people hanging Obama dolls from trees?

"You have nobody to blame but yourself." <-----------what are you referring too?

[eddiewinslow]

You don't hear the kkk bitching and moaning that the celtics have only 1 white player and he's a euro(darko)

No clue why you are bringing up the kkk

Because they don't watch basketball, right?

Apparently you did not understand what I meant.

First of all, yes. People like Terrell blatantly stating that is clearly starting a problem and pulling a race card. Who in their right mind would state something so idiotic without being racist themselves? Think about that for second.

In regards to: "You have nobody to blame but yourself" I am stating ignorant people like Terrell and others are the reason people still have these problems. It goes both ways.

I hate it when people say there are no such things as coincidences. It leads to conspiracy talk like this.

The day Judy Garland died, a tornado touched down in Kansas (she played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz). Does he really think there was something intentional about that?

Has it ever occurred to this fool that MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, the starting lineup JUST HAPPENED to be the most qualified for the role? MAYBE they just happened to be better players than the others?

Why do we still lump people into groups like this? People are to be judged on an individual basis, you jackass!

I mean, my God...it's been, what, fifty years since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave that wonderful speech, and skin color is STILL relevant?!

So much for his dream.

[StraightG]

davidio840 cool, but its likely that Terrell's comments are likely related to inequalities that he sees in other institutions.

That being said. Racists are keeping racism alive in this country. Not people who want to see their community represented in organizations and institutions that are financed by their tax dollars. People who use their power to oppress other races keep racism alive. People who brutalize and terrorize other races keep racism alive. Mr. Terrell's comments are small potatoes. There's little comparison.

Those black groups are nothing like the kkk. The kkk has terrorized Black Americans over the course of their existence. They have murdered blacks and other minorities. I can't believe you would compare Minny's black leadership to the kkk. ridiculous.
