    No, "The Black Angel's Death Song" was the worst part of their first album.

    I dont think it has much to do with black genetics being more "athletic". I think they are generally taller than white folk, they also have a drive to make it. I remember when I played baseball in high school there was this black kid that the coach was trying to mold into the next Griffey, or whatever because he was speedy in the outfield. Forget the fact that he was garbage, he was black, had speed and looked like a baseball player.

    Every 6' white kid playing ball in the suburbs should be told early to stick to a sport that they could succeed at. Basketball isnt that sport.

    Yeah, you honkies should stick to golf and hockey. And you Mexicans should stick to what you're good at. Fathering 14 kids and farm/landscaping work.

    I just dont get why you think its OK to bust out with racial stereotypes time and time and time again. It's not cool - for anyone, Francis. And I don't give a crap that you are Hispanic - that doesn't give you special dispensation. My wife's Hispanic, and if she was always talking about 'all white guys are such and such' or 'black guys are thus and so' I would call her out too.

    I think he'd make a good 3rd round pick for the Blazers.....heck maybe Uncle Allen will just buy a pick to add him to our bench....you never know.


    I mean we did miss out on Adam Morrison right?

    Singler is no stiff. He plays tough. 21 would be too high, but I would take him in the second round in a heart beat. Smart, plays tough D, can shoot and is a winner. He would be a great guy to have on the bench.

    The fact that people say he plays dirty ....is a plus in itself.

    That's weak! I'm half white..... half Mexican...... and the majority of my friends growing were black....... and you think I'm racist..... HAHA! That is fresh! So back to our discussion, you are telling me that white players are as athletic and good at basketball as black players? And I do believe that stereotypes are what they are for a reason..... they tend to be true. You can deny it, but that would make you look very naive.

    I think the stereotype that a majority of black people smell awful is true. Does that make me a racist?

    they bred slaves specifically for their smell, the tranquilizing aroma of cracked corn and obedience

    Rioting hockey fans is nothing new. Montreal Canadiens fans are as close to english soccer hooligans as any North American fanbase. Those people are CRAZY.

    See this is what I'm talking about! Sitting on a plane about to fly back to P-Town and just read thus and laughed out loud! Nothing wrong with a racist joke here and there!

    Relax. When you're strongly anti-racist you can joke about it. When you're semi-racist you're uptight about it.

    Stick it up your tapa-taco-ass!

    And just what do you base that on? So I am racist now because I don't think race belongs in our discussions for the most part? I bet 1984 is your favorite book. War is Peace!!
