What if an executive from Walmart, Target, Macy's, Starbucks (any big name brand)

came out and said they should make the business white only?

Im guessing you would have a problem with that right? If a company said "hey sorry we only hire white people" That would be a problem. THAT is RACISM. Thats what LJ is suggesting. How is that not racist to an extreme?

Maybe he just means that white people aren't very good at basketball?:noidea:

It's not White people that are the problem. They actually have plenty of white guys in the league. Problem is we don't have White guys who are from America. Seems like most of the White players are from other countries. I could be wrong tho. Just my observation.

Donald Sterling: "I don't want you to bring black people to my games" ---RACIST

Larry Johnson: "Lets start a league where white people aren't allowed" ---MISGUIDED

hahaha yea right

How so?

"I don't want white people to be allowed to play in the NBA" - That's pretty racist to me

Are you guys aware that using "" means that's exactly what somebody said...? Because I hadn't seen those quotes... Also, as somebody posted he seemed to say Black owned and operated, didn't see where he said he didn't want White people brought to his games like Sterling did...:noidea:

In the end, I agree as an executive his comments were inappropriate, you guys can't be serious when you say it's worse than Sterling...

So if the CEO of Walmart or any other company said he was only going to employ white people you wouldn't have an issue with that?

Where did he say he would only employ Black people...? I would have a problem if he said we should have an all Black league that wouldn't allow ANY other race to be involved at ANY capacity... What I saw was him saying Black people should own and operate a league for themselves since the majority of the players are Black...

wlk, How could you possibly try to twist this into anything that it isn't. it is written right in front of you.

You are spinning this to save face. And I don't get it. Johnson doesn't represent you, other minorities, or all black people. Just as Sterling is rogue also is Johnson. (or should be) So why make this an issue that it doesn't have to be?

Larry Johnson @TheRealLJ2 Follow Black people your Focusing on the wrong thing. We should be focusing on having our own, Own team own League! To For Self!!

Neither Larry Johnson not Donald Sterling should hold positions of power within the league IMO.
