Is Minnesota Racist?

[BOTSLAYER]

I don't mean all Californians. But most of them.

my views are more aimed at the dumbshits that think Social Programs are the same thing as Socialism.

I know nothing about who thinks what but it is funny...well sad and depressing really...that it seems people would rather bomb other countries than help their neighbor.

I know, right? Your buddy TLF thinks living in France is better than living in USA.

Normal people would much rather be helping others than the bombing, but it is necessary for the USA to protect their interests and maintain a military that is capable of taking action. I agree, however that many people are confused and don't know the difference between a social program and socialism though. That's a political discussion though, so I am going to walk away on that one

Would it surprise you guys if the owner of the Wolves requests that as many white players fill the starting line up as possible? Would it surprise you if the fans in Minnesota preferred to see white players over black?

Is there any evidence to support your hypothetical questions?

if you are a white racist... then why would you be a fan of the NBA or even the NFL.. heck even MLB. This whole idea is stupid. There are 30 teams. White guys play in the NBA.. out of 30 teams.. it is likely one of those teams may have a good amount of white players. especially considering one of those white guys is Kevin Love one of the top players in the league. Dallas was this way a few years back. It happens.

I do think fans tend to identify with players who look like them. that's somewhat human nature. but i wouldnt go as far as to say the state is racist. i think the younger generations experience this less and less. we arent perfect as a society, but we certainly have come a long way.

Explains why Lebron fans are ugly!!

I mean, maybe it is all kosher but the only guy who kind of has a tan has to stand in the shadows and their slogan and jerseys are kind of fishy too.

No. They just prefer members of their own race like most people do. Look at the Warriors, They have four white dudes in their starting lineup.

 

[TobyTyler]

Only ones who wear white hoods would.
This is 2014.
Who still cares what color somebody's skin is?

Color of your sports team's players is one thing, color of someone marrying into your family is quite another for a lot of people. Its getting better though.

Lol, Toby, you're always starting shit.

You have nothing but speculation behind that thesis. NOTHING!

I never said he should not hire white guys, I said that hiring or firing players, people etc based on skin color, race or religion is wrong.

Rooting for people based on those qualities is also wrong.

I understand rooting for people you identify with, but using that criteria to identify with people is not conducive to a positive culture. We all bleed red, except predator, he bleeds radioactive green and is systematically hunting us so...yea, hating him seems natural, unless you are yourself a hunter, then you should understand Predator's position.

LOL! Everyone does it. We identify with those most like ourselves.
