    Oh, I know. even as a kid, the joke about Boston was that they'd almost always have a majority of white players.

    I dont know how old you are, but ABC, NBC etc showed IDK, thirty games a year on national TV. They had to keep ratings up, I remember Boston, NY, LA and what ever team they were playing. The Boston always had a strong rooting section nationaly

    And if it wasn't for all of the ship building that went on at Swan Island during WWII there probably still wouldn't be any black people in Oregon ... one more reason to hate the Japs, Degos and Krauts

    Your site says that Federal law superseded State law, which was never enforced and later taken off the books for cosmetic reasons.

    Luke Babbitt and Adam Morrison are so white, they should count as 4 white guys instead of 2!

    When I was a kid there was a commercial for soap powder that promised, not just white, but "bluey white". That's Babbitt.

    Anyone here seen Luther? If you like Idris Elba and/or well made psychological crime shows, watch Luther. It's on Netflix instant streaming.
