The only way this board will see true Knicks fans is when we suck, that's when all the bandwagoners hop off.

I bet I'm at least 90% right with this list. That's how predictable these people are. Easy to spot with their racial biases.

kane2021 - Puerto Rican
JBreezeNY - Black or Puerto Rican (guessing black)
Thugger HBC - Black (tries to play both sides, but almost every "compliment" is backhanded. he's probably the most racist poster here. Borderline black extremist but tries to hide it like we don't notice the pattern of his biases and the positions he takes in arguments)
Ibraheim718 - Puerto Rican (just plain unstable and has gotten at least a half dozen active posters banned by himself. not sure why the mods protect him but he's started every argument he's involved in)
Paco - Puerto Rican (probably the most moderate of the group)
AllanHoustonFan - Black (not 100% sure but based on his posting patterns/biases, I'm guessing he's black)
Pharmcat - Unsure, may be Black or Puerto Rican
moocow007 - Unsure, but posts like a left wing liberal, may not actually be a minority
Red Vines - Likely not a minority, also may be a left wing liberal

question is.. how many "loyal" knicks fans were about to jump ship had linsanity never happened? lin single-handedly saved the knicks pathetic season and what does he get? his own team's fans hating on him. where's the loyalty in that? it's pathetic how there's more hate on this board than on opposing team's board. and most of these stubborn old timers were hating on him WAY before linsanity, and still are just because he proved them wrong over and over.

Not for nothing, but Amare made this franchise relevant again for the first time in a decade and look how he's treated.

And I'm sure there'll be people on the list that will say the same "I love lin" sentence (while not actually believing it) but their post history says otherwise. It's like me saying "I love black people" and then proceed to say what I hate about blacks.

this X1000 knicks fans are just crazy thats why i hardly post on this board. They just get crazier and stupider by the day so I try to stay away. You think they would have a little bit more respect especially after coming off being a laughing stock of the league but whater....... :roll:

Keep the discussion on topic guys.

I try to give posters the benefit of the doubt that player's race does not affect the posters' view of that particular player.

Yeah. Im Puerto Rican. I have said it many times. Proudly. Trashmelo. 1 post. Keep posting. So I can trace your IP. Find out who you really are. And make sure you never come back.

You already left a clue. You dont read. I didnt trash Lin. I trashed the fan base that sets unreal expectations on players then trashes said player for not living up to their personal desires.

Its selfish and self centered. And guess what? Thats why NYers have such a bad rep. Thats why these TV and radio personalities hate us and pick on us. They dont like our stuck up attitudes. And they know dam well we wont keep our mouth shut when called on it.

Peep the contradiction. Trashmelo is trashing fans for trashing lin. Trashing fans who are not even trashing lin. And spinning it into a racial issue.

Lin is American. All the way. Im glad that asians can relate to him and welcome them to follow the team with us. Trying to create a racial issue is trying to start a fight and you do it blindly without reading.

Why dont you tell me a story. Tell me about how asians were treated when they were used as slaves to build the railroads in the US. Talk to me about how doctors made a mistake with heroin. And how the US government tried to cover up that mistake by passing it off on those Chinese railroad workers. Portrayed them as junkies after their job was finished so the naive American people had a excuse to hate them and force them out.

Some things never change. Its not race. Its blind naive people filled with hate due to ignorance.

Thats you.
