    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Race is a pretty ill-defined concept. I use it however I deem convenient.

    Though, with the recent rioting in Vancouver, I'm starting to wonder if Canadians may be more racially similar to Americans than I once thought. My previous ideas of a riot in Canada was people storming the downtown, ordering coffee and not tipping.

    If you don't think The Beach Boys (before Mike Love destroyed them) and the Byrds were any good, I don't know what to make of you. Clearly you're a different race.

    Jangly guitar wimp-rock for failed choirboys.

    The Stooges were okay. But white people from Detroit count as black. (Even if they're called White.)

    I forgot you're so macho. You only go for cock rockers like Belle & Sebastian.

    The Stooges, New York Dolls and the Ramones were the first wave of punk. Don't let your British schoolbooks fool you into believing the Damned and the Sex Pistols started it.

    Also, how can you not like the Velvet Underground?

    Okay, so they're the John Stockton in this scenario. But Nico's euro-ness rubbed off on them.

    Nico was the worst part of their first album.

    yep, there's bad both black and white players. I'd say that there are many more good black players than white, however.

    So now there's a height range? Suddenly black players only have unquestioned supremacy over a four-inch height range? You're conceding ground pretty quickly!

    I'm just saying that white players that are 6'8 tend to not succeed in the NBA. You bust out with the obvious from the past 25 years. Please explain how this is racist. Is me saying black players can jump higher racist also?

    No. You people need to stop getting so worked up about someone saying black players are better than white players. It's pretty goddamned true.
