Woah woah buddy, no need for the belittling, it's just a topic of discussion. First, I havn't seen any topics like this, so you can't blame me here. Second I was bored last night, just wanted to see peoples opinions of something I have yet to discuss or see in this forum. Third, your not cool if you think talkin sarcastic smack in a forum is ok. AAAAnd fourth, you are a hater if you deny being a hater and the next few sentences you write, you become a passive one.
Thanx mate. I really didn't want to bring this into accusition or taking it too seriously or anything ..and I think debate didn't went that bad. I just wondered how things are there in the states regarding starting a thread of some fans being of any color.. I know history is bad, but you seem to have left it behind which is good. I just thought that many "pretty fly for a white guy" threads are popping out - not harmfull but kinda mockery. Anyways, your reaction tells me it's nothing serious or bad, so thanx for clarification.
It's cool man, I guess growing up as I did, we always made fun of each other as steriotypes and race. But some take it pretty seriously, especially on here, and that was my fault for thinking the latter. In some parts in the US, racism can be pretty bad, but with most of our beloved sports icons in America, people start accepting an open mind. My family and I are mostly white, but my dad's part has a lot of black that I see often, and my neighbors are mostly black ( i live in the ghetto.) I'm just used to it and immuned.
sorry. I thought white people denying black people equal opportunities was racist. "But from 1848 until June 8th, 1978, Black Mormons were "banned" from the priesthood (which all male Mormons over 12 hold), and from worshipping in Mormon Temples. This was called "The Priesthood-ban". During those 130 years (1848 to 1978) Mormon Church leaders taught, as official Church doctrine, that Negroes were the "cursed" children of Cain, that the Mark of Cain was a black skin, and that Negroes were "less valiant" in the War in Heaven (a battle between Jesus and Lucifer before this planet was created in which all human spirits were involved). On June 8th, 1978, the 130 year "priesthood-ban" was lifted, and, since then, Black Mormons have had all the rights and opportunities in the Church as all others. Since June 8th, 1978, black Mormon membership has skyrocketed from less than a thousands to over 400,000. " http://www.angelfire.com/mo2/blackmormon/homepage.html stuff like this is all over the web. Sorry if I have been misinformed from many websites and textbooks, I have taken a few religion classes, and this topic was brought up. I am not trying to offend you or anyone of the mormon faith. I actually have much much respect for mormons. They seem to be the most devout people to their faith that I know, and the ones I know are really good kind hearted people.
Thats not a very credible source, hon. Not voicing my opinion on anything, just giving you some friendly advice.
Easily fixed. Just wear an elaborate mask. I'm sure they can go the other way as well. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=185390
haha. thanks. yeah I thought that before posting, but then I was like forget it, I'm not writing a research paper. but here are some other sources. To mormons reading this, if I'm wrong about the curse of cain as part of the history please inform me. This is just what I've read and have been told. I didnt want to turn this into a theological debate or anything, just trying to defend my earlier post. http://www.ldslearning.org/book-of-mormon-curse-of-dark-skin.htm this one is actually a LDS website that talks about the mormon scripture backing behind the doctrine. http://www.mrm.org/curse-of-cain and here is another mormon website http://www.christiandefense.org/mor_black.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_people_and_the_Latter_Day_Saint_movement
Oh crap, that reminds me... I have a 10 page Research Paper due tomorrow, I should probably get started on that.
seriously??? ahahahaha. you're welcome & good luck. someone should probably take a break from clutchfans for the night.
I've never been sarcastic. It was a partial falsehood, I actually do have a 10 pager due tomorrow, but I did start it earlier than 1 hour ago. It was 6 hours ago. True Story.
More like our history is full of systemic violence and oppression committed by whites against other races and not the other way around.
I hate the jazz too... However, I'm wondering if your a friggin' racist biggot or if you're just naturally a douche. One doesn't ever hear this sort of talk about other teams for being predominantly black or blue or yellow. And only after these sorts of nonsensical cognitions have been eliminated from the American psyche will prejudice be gone, too. The civil war is over, sir, and while the nation isn't there yet, we are moving towards equality for all peoples. Please don't hold us back. And in conclusion, I feel sorry for your children as they share your DNA.
Lol, woooooooow, I guess you have not read my other posts. Calling me a douche is pretty hypocritical, and if you read my other stuff I've posted in here, you will know why you are. BTW, I'm not racist, and again, when you read my other posts, you will find out why. And, you're a really mean guy. Feel sorry for your kids too because you seem to have quite the temper, it's just a forum SIR. PLEASE READ MY OTHER POSTS BEFORE YOU RESPOND!
actually this is on the rockets website. it gives the demographics of the fans at the toyota center. According to this, 44% are white. http://www.toyotacentertix.com/rock...?page=demographics-arena§ion=demographics
