I've dealt with some very ignorant mods on this site, who feel the topic I am about to talk about is off limits. I don't understand how any topic can be off limits on a public forum.
Here it is:
I want to talk about SKIN COLOR. I am not saying that one race is better than another, or that because of ones skin color a player is not a good. That would be racist/prejudice.
I've read numerous articles regarding certain players skin color and how their value would differ if they had a different skin color. (Alfred, am I banned yet? Am I being racist?) Again, I am not to try say one race is better than the other, and I am not using derogatory terminology.
Despite some exceptional white basketball players like Utah's John Stockton and Cleveland's Mark Price, only seven of the 27 NBA teams this season had a White player ranking among its top three in minutes played.
Every one of the league's 20 leading scorers were Black, and all but 2 of its 20 leading rebounders were Black. Not a single NBA team has as many Whites as Blacks (Times article).
"This is only a Black league from the players' point of view," said the Nuggets' Brian Williams. "What you have in the NBA is the same slice of broad America that you have in business-let's say 15 percent, approximately, of coaches and front office personnel are Black. Now since 15 percent of America is Black, there's nothing really wrong with that, right? Except that 15 percent of the players aren't Black-they're White."
Obviously, this is not news to anyone. YET, the mods on this site refuse to let us discuss this topic?
I am a lawyer who mainly deals with race relation law. I am very well versed on the topic. I am also a huge basketball fan. Why can't I discuss this topic amongst other basketball minds on this website?
I would really like to hear from ALFRED. He seems to be the most ignorant mod on this overly-censored site.

Re: Taboo Topic
Writing NO MORE WHITE PLAYERS!!!! is not engaging in a reasoned discussion of player value as it pertains to race.

**** your asterisk.
