'Unintelligent' blacks 'brainwashed' to choose street cred over success: Charles Barkley

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Since your opinion is that the OP is inflammatory and isn't substantial, we all look forward to your not participating in the thread.

Dave if there's any way you can respond without a personal attack, I look forward to it.

I am entitled to an opinion and to post in whatever thread I choose. Once again, I am not forcing you to agree with me. I really don't understand what your problem is.

I'd like to see how you can wring "personal attack" out of my words.

You mean where you have turned me into the subject of discussion?

[Dan and Judy 614]

There is only one race. We all belong to the human race. That being said, there are no differences, positive or negative to discuss. There are regional variations that are due to geographical differences that people have adapted to. People who live in the Andes or Himalayas have an adaption to the low oxygen available. That's nothing to do with them being from a different race, it is simply an adaption to the local conditions. Any physical difference you can name is an adaption, not a difference in 'race'. Perhaps if people were better at understanding this, there would be less acrimony based on visual cues, but probably not.

Why are Blacks better at playing basketball?

No.

Yes. Indeed.

Now, back to the OP, for those who believe there is merit to it...

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Sigh

You do realise Dave that you haven't provided a single on topic post in the thread.

Never mind, let's pretend that you have.

Apparently they are not(according to one poster)

It is just due to environmental conditions. Blacks must constantly jump in the air to avoid getting hit by the bullets the white police officers are shooting at them.

The other option is that the NBA is racist and does not want white players.

Neither have you. You haven't addressed the actual content of the article once in this thread.

So ARE you going to participate in this thread, or not? Are you truly upset by the OP, or was that just posturing for the mods?

BTW... http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/520042-unintelligent-blacks-brainwashed-to-choose-street-cred-over-success-charles-barkley/page-2#entry7308771 Wrong again.

I've actually addressed it more than you have and you posted the thread. On present performance it seems you'd rather try to badger me.

Anyway, if there's an on topic discussion to be had here perhaps it would be a good idea to go with that? Bickering isn't going to achieve anything.

You didn't address the OP, you made a pedestrian statement about successful black people.

For someone who apparently wants to discuss the thread you're doing a remarkable job of trying to stop others participating. Why are you doing this?

Why are Blacks better at playing basketball?

Indeed, why? I have known lots of blacks who were awesome dancers, too. And rhythm? Oh heck yeah! Better than many other races I have seen. Of course, some of it is individual, but I think in general, blacks are good at many sports and other things that have nothing to do with what region they come from or live in.

But all of that aside, I have met, worked with, and been friends with several blacks who were just plain as me, smart folks, driven, out to make a good living for and to take care of their family. So the stereotypes of dumb or lazy can't be blanketed across all blacks, just as it can't on any other race. The deeds of each individual need to be weighed and they should be judged on their own merit. Plain and simple. Just as each of us wants for ourselves, I'm sure.

Bickering isn't going to achieve anything.

Then perhaps you should stop. Add something worthwhile to the OP.
