What's wrong with this?
Asians, Jews, Mexicans, etc. have separate schools and stores and seem to be doing just fine.
What's wrong with employing your own people and keeping them in business with your money?

How is this racist?
of course you don't support it
it would be grab for real wealth and power???of course you don't support it
I just don't see the point. Then you're left figuring out "who is black enough" etc. Its just silly.
The point to get REAL wealth is to make it IN THIS realm. Cutting yourself off doesn't solve much of anything in my eyes.

Not surprised people are calling larry racist for these comments. You know how they do
buuuut is the current NBA racist with all white owners and leadership?
[cac]nothing is stopping black people from owning nba teams. look at michael jordan. and who do you think is paying all those athletes their millions? it certainly isn't al sharpton or jesse jackson![/cac]
it's not about racial segregation, it's about OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL.
why should blacks make up 75% of the players but all of the wealth goes to the non-black owners? same goes for the music industry, same goes for shoes. blacks should have more ownership in areas their wealth often frequents.
The way to address that is through black entrepreneuership end progress, not isolation.
Do you think a league composed of 75% whites should be owned by whites?
Thats why I don't like this idea.
AND the more important question is... "WHAT IS 'BLACK?'"
Mind you...THEY made the term up. Not us.
where is your argument, you idiot? the league was majority white owned then and now, so wtf is your point?
once again, this is NOT about racial segregation. the most qualified for the job should play, regardless of color -- but this is about OWNERSHIP.

He didn't say black players only he said OWN the league. It's weird that a league with such a large black representation is still not owned by black people. I agree with him and it's not racist.
The only thing that makes a very valid point racist is because of the timing of his response and what he was responding to.

Wait so history proves that they hate us and don't want to associate with us. But then when we decide to Make the money they are making and not associate ourselves with them, they get mad?

Its not like there aren't black millionaires though at this point, but to call it a "black league" doesn't equate to saying "we want a black owned league"
This seems like a problem with the inability to pool money above anything else.

I was going to say the EXACT same thing. For years they've done their best to exclude us from everything imaginable. Yet when we try to do things for ourselves & become self sufficient they want in to take over or they destroy if they can't get in on it.
