< sits quietly on the sidelines on this one since I'm the outcome of a bi-racial relationship, as are my kids>:whistle:

Yeah...funny how those biases run both ways.

My Mom was amused.

His Mom....less so.

Which is hypocritical considering his Dad is from Belize and she is Mexican...lol

But, I was TOO black...lmfao

Our generation is much more open-minded.

Love my Mom more than anyone, outside of my kids.

But, her blatant homophobia has caused us to go weeks without talking.

I had to learn to accept that I couldn't change her views, no matter how much it hurt one of our family members who was like a brother to me.

True love is color blind.

My favorite meme. I am definitely going to be the "get off my lawn" old man.

I hear ya, but I guess where some are confused at is he's done this for so long, what was the final straw?

He has also been repeatedly warned and told not to do these things.

The cap floor is a bad thing, IMO.

But, as long as teams continue to offer 20+ million max contracts to players like Otto Porter abd Harrison Barnes, super max deals to guys like Conley, teams will struggle to profit.

That is 100% the fault of the market that continually overvalues good, not great players. Owners need to stop overpaying these types of guys so other salaries can All into their proper place.

As soon as Mozgov signed his deal last summer, I knew we were headed toward more CBA disputes.

Dated a black girl for a bit in my 20's. It was interesting. My parents never said a negative word, but I could tell that they weren't real comfortable with it. I think it had to do more with what their friends and/or other family members would think.

Her family was fairly mixed. She had a white uncle who was total hippie.

My friends thought it was awesome because she looked like Janet Jackson. lol

We used to get the occasional "look" (especially from older folks). She had to stop me from saying something a few times.
