That's all true and he had excellent teams but they lacked a little bit in the shooting department, and there were 2 seasons in particular where if he had a couple of white sharpshooters that he hadn't recruited championships may not have been left on the table. Thompson's teams were known for their defensive relentlessness, but they got caught in a halfcourt tempo game with Villanova in 1985 and that Georgetown team lacked shooting on the perimeter. This was particularly important because in basketball teams that have designated shooters can space the floor so the opponent cannot sag inside and clog the lane. Villanova executed a perfect game plan against a vastly superior Georgetown team in that regard, shot 78% which was a record, but that game plan is foiled if Georgetown had a knockdown shooter like Steve Alford at the time.

Hey @Fradi
I never said anyone was unlucky for living in Canada, and not at war, especially not my white fat ass.
And to bring it back to the beginning of this train wreck of a thread, I agree with every point you made here as the very first person to respond to the OP.
Nah I am quite comfortable with who I am and way too old to change.
I don’t get upset proof is my age. People who let things get to them die young.
Speaking of the OP, he is what I would call the "Demo Guy", because he starts an explosive thread and runs, much like the demolitions experts who blow up buildings. However I think he was intending to start a debate about racism at one agency, rather than spawn yet another unwieldy thread on racism in the industry and generally. So I would say he didn't blow up the intended building but the one next door, sort of like the drone that Hezbollah sent at Netanyahu's house which ended up blowing up his neighbor's house.
Like I said with my limited knowledge of basketball and I admit I don’t often watch it unlike the many other sports.
The only white players I remember are John Havlicek and Larry Bird both from the Boston Celtics and both exceptional players but I could name many black players.
There are some sports that they just completely dominate in and deserve to be there they are that good there is no discrimination or racism just skill.
I started to look at the thread, said fuck this, and decided to skip the word vomit and go back to the OP. There's simply too much pent up whatever making its way out here.
Keeping it simple, and because without really knowing the person you can't know the whys and wherefores of the policy I simply look at it as a restriction, in the same class as other restrictions, and leave it to the girl to decide what her restrictions are and leave it to myself to decide whether I'm willing to go along with them or whether they matter. If not I simply move in to the next provider. Seems pretty simple to me. Many of you guys seem to be heaping an inordinate amount of stress on yourselves racing to the bottom of the rabbit hole for something you're unlikely to be able to affect and which can easily be avoided.

It was less about the calling out preference as I have preferencences too when it comes to my personal life.
But was all about the cliché of I have friends of X race to claim non-racism. I have read what you've written all along. And sounds like similar boat I relate to. You haven't been giving racist vibes to me, it was just the cliché I am friends with i couldn't help spotting.
I blame it on seeing too many comedy shows pointing this very cliche out.
I'm not the one to say white people aren't targets of racism. I know all races including white is targeted as well all over the world, and here too, just not to the same degree here. I actually erased a message I was in the process of writing earlier that had an example of that, because this thread was about racism for MOC, and I didn't want to play flip the scrip. As other races feel targeted they flip it and hate their supressors, and become racist themselves twords them. Every race who has wronged another creates hate and retaliation racism. Hate begets hate. It is a vicious circle.
Just to point out. The providers here on the forum, are on the side of anti-racism we all who have been responding here actively practice love for all races, not even tolerance but true acceptance, and even amongst eachother help correct accidental or ignorant racism by educating ourselves on better practices, of self expression. Unfortunately those who you want to get this message accross to, don't use this forum. The only ones your preaching this racist take to, are other hobbiests. The girl in an agency writing No X race, is not lurking here, or even cares this discussion is happening because of their actions. All the providers here can do is lend a sympathetic ear and do what we do best, and console and make you feel heard, and know we aren't all like these girls publicly refusing to see someone because of where they come from or the color of their skin.
And what I think the issue with what was mentioned earlier is actually the script has been flipped so much, that many white people are also being told they have no right to feel targeted by racism to them now, because of all their ancestors have done to others in the past. But truth is racism isn't good reguardless of who is giving it and who is recieving it.
And only bringing it up now as it has now become a part of the conversation. So my opinion on it isn't out of left field.
And a few of these cultures being pointed out as being targets of genocide and war over seas, are technically counted as white as well. People seem to forget that just because it is overseas in other countries, some are just as white as here, it is just they get refered to by their culture or country instead of the color of their skin.

You are more than wise lol.
This is what we should be concerned about and talking about. Way more fun
“I want to know everything. I want to be everywhere. I want to fuck everyone in the world. I want to do something that matters.
Always wondered where you got this quote from or if you made it up but it is so cool and actually so you and surely if everyone practised this there would be no racism.
Wasn't the reason of this thread how a MOC felt about being discriminated against.Btw is this thread about racism or about a woman's right to choose? Seriously. Cuz I would simply start a seperate thread (()) dedicated to racism.
Think deeply before you answer (and leave your desire to vent out if possible).
This thread is about a woman's right to choose and select her clients, regardless of her "PERSONAL" reasons. No ones' business but hers. Think about it.
geezz... so by that logic I guess white guys ''just happen'' to be better hockey players than black guys? Like its written somewhere in the DNA?
More likely it is cultural and socio-econimicl differences that explain why most pro basketball players are black and most hockey players are white. In the end we are all human with 99.99% shared DNA
This thread is what happens when the "Towards the presidential run of 2024" post gets closed.
I think a lot has to do with all the liberal bullshit that white people themselves propagated against themselves.
All this self hatred and wanting to atone for the sins of slavery and what ever sins white people have done throughout the ages and there were many.
Well I have a different take on it.
I don’t hate myself for being white I am not proud of it either I was born that way pure and simple.
Yes I also acknowledge that sometimes I have been in a privileged situation simply because I was white, is that wrong ? Yes of course it is but it is not of my doing just like I had nothing to do with the sins of the past and therefore I do not feel ashamed nor do I think I owe anybody anything other than treating them with kindness and respect if they afford the same courtesy to me.
I will not apologize or feel ashamed for something I had nothing to do with.
Have I been the target of racism, many times, when you have to escape from the country of your birth it is for a reason.
When you live in several countries not speaking the language yes you become a target of racism and hate. but I am sure there are many people in this world that have had it much worse than me.
No country or race or colour is exempt from racism unfortunately, in a way I guess it is the dark side of being human.
Its definitely cultural and socioeconomic as to why most pro basketball players are black. I have read that Major League Baseball is concerned by the dwindling percentage of black players at the MLB level, and part of it is that good black athletes choose basketball over baseball, in situations where a choice has to be made. Professional Basketball has spread internationally much more than baseball has, and there is more money to be made in basketball. However, it's not like there are no white players playing basketball. Last year's NCAA Champion Men's Basketball Team UConn Huskies had 3 white starters and 2 black starters. This year's team is likely to have 3 black starters and 2 white starters. All of them are good players. 4 off last year's team were drafted into the NBA, 2 of whom are white (Donovan Clingan and Cam Spencer) and 2 who are black (Tristan Newton and Stephon Castle).
Although blacks playing in MLB have dwindled, Hispanic and Japanese participation is way up, also for cultural reasons. Baseball is extremely popular in the Caribbean and in Japan. The best player in MLB, Shohei Ohtani, is Japanese. I once read a study about why the sport of baseball is so popular in Japan, and the report concluded that the sport resonates with the Japanese very strongly for cultural reasons.

I think it is way too complicated but there are many factors including social- economic, cultural, what sports your relatives excelled at. Where you, live what country you live in.
How many Canadian or American world class cricket players can you name but yes there are way more world class white hockey players than black these are facts.
Now if you take the most popular sport in the world football ( or soccer as it is known here) which is actually played in almost all countries then you will have a good balance with Europeans and South Americans being more dominant because that is where the money is and that is where it is the most popular.
I could go on and on about sports as I am a complete sports fanatic ( not North American sports except for hockey of course)
I think everyone already settled on your body your choice. That is why it no longer continues to be spoken on. It just leaves the topic of what the message portrays, and everyone seems to need to educate.
Now seems to have 1 topic of sports and race, and 1 topic of racism and wether it is called racism if it is hate against white. And another line about joking how long this is getting.
I think mitochondria cells go into a frenzy and multiply out of control every time you make a friend from a new nationality, that could explain it.
Glad it is working for you.
