OT: Lonzo Ball's dad, part II

Foot speed wasn't a problem when UCLA beat Kentucky 97-92 in Lexington during regular season. Kentucky's freshman guard Fox who had 39 points & only 1 turnover vs UCLA freshman guard Ball 10 points & 4 turnovers is what did them in during sweet 16 game. The 3 white guys he is blaming scored almost the same amount of points in both games.
 
Considering LaVar was pretty bad at basketball it's a good thing he picked his white wife to procreate with. We can thank Mrs. Ball for the basketball genetics it took to create Lonzo. Early on it was laughing with LaVar whereas now it just feels like laughing at the dumb guy. His kid should be a really good NBA player but LaVar's 5 minutes are about up.

What are you babblin' about? This is objectively a racist statement. He used the color of people's skin to determine they'd be inferior. Textbook racism. Everything else you said is irrelevant

You dudes need to get past the labels and the name calling - those never enable progress.

Chief what are you talking about? You're wrong it isn't about labels I'm not calling LaVar a racist. I'm saying what he said is racist they are different how hard is that to understand. This isn't a matter of opinion what he said is racist, I'm not entirely sure why you're defending his statement.

If an Asian father said this about black people or white people it'd be a racist statement. Why so dense?

No it isn't. It is prejudice based on a stereotype. If he was the head coach and only recruited black kids based on his prejudice, then it would be racist.

But, you know what, if people believe racism is still a problem, the last thing you want to do is squelch discussion of steteotypes, prejudices and racism. Let the man say what he believes and then you can say why you think he is wrong. Those discussions lead to understanding and enlightenment. Chief isn't wrong here, you guys are.

You're lost here, he's a dipsh*t and anyone who believes he's anything but a damn racist here, is totally lost in the shuffle.

Same guy who stopped Michelle Beadle from asking a question on ESPN because he already knew what she was going to ask, why? "...because you're white"

A total a**wipe who doesn't deserve any media attention.

The media can't get enough him. That's part of the problem.

Make your arguments, stop the silly labels.

No your the dude that can't think critically because you never get past the labels that are out of date. So you think he is racist against whites because of a basketball observation - yet you ignored he is married every day to a white woman.
Still no one has responded to me by naming an NBA team with 3 whites in the starting lineup - which would represent the general population percentage of whites.

Here's a definition of racism per dictionary:

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. noun: racism
​
That's what he was doing. Here, let's take another very wrong and ignorant stereotype perpetrated by a dumber section of humanity and see if it's cool with you: Lonzo Ball took an I'll advised shot at the end of the game, instead of running the play as expected; they lost because black players aren't as smart as white players. If they had a white PG, he would have run the play.

You don't think that's ff__ked up?

Chief who made you the authority on what is and what is not racist? Using the defense " I have a x race friend so I can't be racist" has been proven wrong time and time again. No one needs to find a starting lineup in the NBA you can use google yourself. You're being obtuse and avoiding the fact that what LaVar Ball said is racist.
 
If there's no NBA lineups that have 3 white starters, that (big shock coming up) is also baseless... no one said they aren't putting these players in the lineup BECAUSE they're white, and THUS have less foot speed.

If they're white and not good enough to start, that's a non-racist reason. Why I and everyone else is still entertaining this argument is totally beyond me. But I guess that's why it's textbook trolling.

Then again, textbook racism has been denounced as incorrect, so I can assume this isn't trolling despite being identical to the definition.
 
Leaf was at times better than Ball. I saw UCLA play in person 3 time, every time I thought Leaf played harder than Ball.

No ones doing that, in this thread, and based on the information you have. Why do u keep saying stuff that makes zero sense and portraying yourself as an authority?

Question:

What's the "up to date" label for someone who alleges an entire race is inferior in one manner or another?

Also:

When did our society decide to retire "racist" due to it being "out of date"? Was it around the same time we stopped calling black people "colored" or was it more recently when the "afro-american" moniker was retired?

Lastly:

Your NBA analogy is most definitely a defense of what he said, despite the fact you pretend otherwise.

Genius - I referred to a white wife not a friend or acquitance. It's common sense if he married a white woman - he is not racist against whites - since that would be his wife. Instead you ignore the on the ground reality and search for word definitions to make you feel more secure in your make believe World.
Confirmed: Not very smart.

You just contradicted yourself throughout the thread and your brillant buddy liked it.
You still aren't giving a coherent answer on my NBA question.

I don't give a ___ about Lavar Ball or his comment and I think that white people getting their panties in a wad about his statement is more funny than anything else but this statement from you really bums me out. It's sort of like the alt right dudes who say "Well, I just beat off to a picture of Lola Monroe so I can't be racist."

Bigger picture though, Lavar Ball says outlandish things. That's his brand. People are going to outrage themselves to death if they react to every dumb thing he says.

No, the teams are not racist because there aren't many/any teams starting 3 white guys. Here's why:

As of last year "The NBA has one African-American president in the Los Angeles Clippers’ Doc Rivers, two African-American GMs in the New Orleans Pelicans’ Dell Demps and the New York Knicks’ Steve Mills, and one native African GM in the Toronto Raptors’ Masai Ujiri, who is Nigerian."

The distressing lack of black leadership in the NBA

The league is 70% black. So I'm going to go out on a limb and say the GMs, 90% of whom are white, aren't racist against whites, and aren't keeping whites out of the league, or out of the starting lineup, based on their skin color.

Your turn:
What's the "up to date" label for someone who thinks an entire race is inferior in one manner or another?
When did "racist" become out of date for someone who thinks an entire race is inferior in one manner or another?
