You don't actually know any people do you? Again, in real life, do you know anyone who has a problem with other people just based on their race? Friends, family, co-workers, anyone? I'm not saying just white people either (why did you capitalize 'white'?), I know there are racists in all colors, I just don't think that many people are that way. A couple of my wife's cousins are, and maybe a couple co-workers, but that's out of the hundreds of people I know.

And again, why does being conservative mean you are a racist?

Do you agree with Bart that most people are racist? Maybe I'm naive but most sounds like way too much.

You are a dumbass.

I don’t come here to make predictions. I come here to analyze basketball.

Whether or not Philly is better likely depends on Simmons and coaching. Could go either way.

I just think most people don't want to reach for it, most people are fine with other people no matter their race. Maybe I'm naive.

won't say "most people", but if anyone thinks it's almost gone(my ex-boss used to preach that BS, and of course wouldn't admit HE was a racist) i'd disagree...

lol...its just too fucking funny man.

honestly--- I was 2 seconds from hitting "Post Reply" on a message commending you for actually sticking your neck out and having some balls. I think Philly is going to be better than last year but it was good to see you actually nut up for once--- right before i hit the button i saw your classic "maybe, maybe not, we shall see" and i just laughed my fucking ass off. It just hit the right spot at the right time and i was absolutely bawling.

thanks man. I needed that.....its been a long week.

Bart said:

On the surface, you're right 5% to 10% of country would appear racist but get them to open up and you wouldn't believe the shit that flies out of their mouth. I'd say it's closer to 50 to 60%. I'm not talking about raging racists here, though, but stereotypical and prejudicial comments directed to a group that is still alive and well and living within the majority of the population. Like I said before, there is a reason the internet is filled with hate, these people have to have a place to vent their repressed racial hate.

If it wasn't clear before then this comment made it crystal clear. Dude cares about individual awards over winning a title.

I guess on a scale of 1-100 (100 being everyone is a racist) I think it's around 10 and declining. Bart seems to think it's at least 50...
