    White Fragility. Talk sht about dead mothers, paint with a broad brush and then clutch pearls and scream "how dare you" when the feelings get returned. "Im not racist you are" -- :rolleyes:

    Is there a possibility Silas favored black players more?

    You can't play the victim all the time, especially when you attack others!!! Are you racist? Do you discriminate Sengun fans based on their religion? What is your universal truth?

    Possibility itself leaves the door open for any number of interpretations. Is Udoka racist too? Or is he not because he played Sengun more? Those same claims were still here this year more so on the SM circuit then here, but the carryover effect is always present.

    My universal truth is the Golden Rule. I deprogrammed from organized religion long ago as its the single most divisive mechanism in our world.

    Silas may have favored the Brown/Yellow/Red players more but the league wouldn't accept those coloring crayons

    Its called the 5 color code race, not just so called Black/White

    That is true but as a college grad, I am asking you your analysis.

    So, you should be able to say he ........put something he did systematically here. like Silas systematically targeted Sengun in front of the cameras...(this is just an example) following by your assessment......indicating he is likely/unlikely a racist person (again an example)....Floowed by how that affects the Houston basketball...This will likely degrade the player improvement in the long run.

    The whole thing is like this: Silas systematically targeted Sengun in front of the cameras indicating he is likely/unlikely a racist person. This will likely degrade the player improvement in the long run.

    But all you say is that you can't believe they said Silas was racist because he was black. See, I dont see a college grad response here!

    LOL cmon now. Why would I ever entertain debating a position that I know 100% to be untrue? That would just be entertaining your passion for this type of discourse. It doesnt take much research for a person to be able to deduce that Stephen Silas may be a lot of things, but a racist he is not. Sengun is getting 6 more minutes per game this year. Talk about six minutes of separation!

    edit: The NBA is 75% black - does that make it a racist league?

    Stephen Silas - The Racist:

    https://sports.yahoo.com/mavs-star-...IBPwNbXlhtWZYAH9CG5Lalh1hAX9qEbQ-oG-Bsu6pavGT

    Oh wait Luka is a Serb/Slovenian does that even count? ;)

    edit: Is it PC to say Serb? Genuine question

    Well its pretty obvious and common that if you go through the number of years you have been following any of the 4 major and all other sport extensions that you have heard so-called Black&White people/players (legal chattel property status) more than the other code created colors Red/Brown/Yellow people

    I guarantee you are familiar with that right?

    Indeed there is but one Hueman race and all derived from that is nationality of the Family of Nations which modern continents have many nations (countries)

    Coloring crayon identities are not recognized & acknowledged in the fam of nations, they are Federal U.S. Roman chattel (14th amendment property/color of law) and according to Supreme Court Case ruling they are Idiots/Insane (civiliter mortuus)

    ha. is it racist to say blacks are more athletic? Look man, I dont know you. I dont know your circumstances but I love basketball. I grew up watching Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan Hakeem and others...It is true I am here because of Sengun but I love watching Jalen, Jabari, Cam, Amen and Tari...My point to you is discrimination is bad. It leads the way to racism and facism. I am appealing to you with open hearth. You asked me what we should call Alpi? Turkish Stiff or white stiff? You might not understand the sensitivities but if you knew the Turkey's relations with the rest of Europe, when Greece is accepted as the cradle of Western civilization and the Turks who share same culture, except the religion are treated as second class sub-humans, you would behave differently. Please stop calling names. It is not okay! It is not okay if a Turkish or Sengun fan is doing that to you, too!
