There is no such thing as race. It was a construct by colonial Americans to excuse slavery. The British had their class and the Indians had their caste. I have been out in the Australian sun over the last few days and my skin is very brown at the moment but my origins are Anglo-Saxon English. Skin colour is determined by melanin in the skin and varies on a scale. Classifying people into race is a thing of the past.

Turn on any basketball game, college or nba, and look into the stands....what do u see 99.8%? All white ppl!! No joke! Basketball is AMAZING to white ppl because of the extraodinary talents we show off! As a black dude, im not even impressed at all. I play any sports like this on this level all the time and so does most black ppl in my community! Its a given for us black ppl to be overly talented so its not a big deal like it is to u white ppl so...

@GrandChamp211 Well if black people can have a month dedicated to their history, why shouldn't white people have it. kkk is pretty racist but nowadays black panthers is too.
If an all white basketball league is racist then black history month is racist and black scholarships.

@forsalololo95 How is Black History Month racist if it's a month that for celebrating the African America heritage? it's not like the KKK..now those are the TRUE racist

i know right its bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@LordExodus76 thats right, because weak slaves didn't survive during those dark days of yesteryear. Slave owners only wanted the strong and capable ones, which, as a result, ended up breeding physically (but not mentally) superior black people. Nothing racist here....blacks in the slave days were not allowed to learn to read or write. Intellectual supression. I guess that would explain why the "dumb but strong" stereotype has been tagged on black people.

Whether they go ahead with this or not, basketball is boring no matter the color of the players involved.

THIS IS A FACT PPL. You can whatever u want, just watch an Nba game and u see mostly all whites loving and supporting the Nba. We as black ppl care less about the Nba. Sports to us is just another skill set thats a given because we excel very easy at all things great and chosen.
-
For the idiots and ignoranced, If u turn to ANY Nba game on ur tv set and look out into the stands, they are ALL prodominately WHITE. White ppl are the the biggest and the most profitable fan base for David Sterns Nba league than black ppl.BLACK PPL DO NOT LIKE NBA BALL MORE THAN WHITE PPL.
There are "All Black" teams in my state. You cant play on them if your white, but thats not considered racist. So why is an all white league racist? Theres a Miss black America where obviously only black girls can take part. Yet if there was a miss White America , that would be racist. See if one is racist , then so is the other. Why the double standard.

If this guy wants to have an "all-American" league, then he should do so by allowing "all Americans" in free of tattoos, non-violent, etc. but he shouldn't keep people out of his league for things they can't change, i.e. racial origin...because not all black people are tattooed thugs, just like not all white people are scientists and doctors...anyway this league will suck and dissipate quickly.
