"Whites-Only Basketball League": Is It The Racist Flash Mob?


I've been extremely skeptical about the supposed "whites-only basketball league" being "launched" by former pro wrestling promoter Don "Moose" Lewis because of, you know, everything, but watching this interview with the man it occurrs to me that even publicity stunts (and I'm still leaning toward the idea that this is what we're dealing with) now exist as promotions designed to will themselves into existence. It's all very meta and head-hurty, and it probably doesn't even matter. OR IS THAT WHAT THEY WANT US TO THINK?

Is he admitting the white man's lost the RACE WAR?

You have to have been born in the U.S. just like the president. Patriotism! Quacking like a duck!

(Maybe everybody could just wear whites like my brain actually thought at first?)

LOL. Two white parents though and in the fine print I bet there is a grandfather clause.

But we all know white men can't jump.

That's what he means when he says whites-only b-ball "goes back to fundamentals:" no dunking, jumping, etc.

In other words: an all-white male version of the WNBA.

This is the very sort of thing I was fighting against when I joined Fake Thin LIzzy.

I think the people fucking in the windows of The Standard was a publicity stunt, in all seriousness.

I imagine PR department meetings about it.

He's standing next to the arena they'll be playing in.

If it's all-white, how will I know which players to hate?

ALL OF THEM.

Oh, and also--I'm too lazy to pound out the keystrokes necessary to verify this, but it's a good story, so fuck that shit:

He has listed, as examples of the "Natural Born American Citizens" who can participate, Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash.

So he just can't even watch basketball at all, I didn't see this list LOF'nL.

I also suggest he start a league for guys who go to SuperCuts.

I'm a little Mad at the NAACP guy though, He's got time to answer this shit, in a horrible looking interview I might add, in a goddamned city that has a Baseball team called the braves. I mean really, Does anybody non-white want to go to that party?

I wish my Samoan-only ballet troupe could get this kind of publicity.

I predict the same stunning success of the XFL and UFL.

What's next, an all-whites golf club in Augusta?

At least they let that colored fella play once a year.

What? there are colored boys on the green all the time, I even heard a story once about one who was magical. How come nobody has accused him of playing "THE RACE CARD" yet?

He should just recruit enough guys to start "The Suburban Globe Trotters."

they have one, they're called the Washington Generals and they get Crushed all the time, I don't know how they stay in business.

Can I just say that it blows my mind a little that people want to think this is a joke or publicity stunt? "MY CHILD IS IN A BALLOON" is an obvious stunt. No child is as stupid as that child's parents were. "OMG BASKETBALL IS RACIST AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE" is painfully plausible. I am in Georgia and I can attest: that shit is for real.

A friend's very ex-Boyfriend, total racist, Can't stand us N-words But loved him some Lebron James, in what she would call a seemingly gayish way. What's best about this story is that she is Brazilian and he decided it was Ok to make snide racist comments, then He cried when she left his dumb ass.
