The topic about the Pacers having an entire white team if they get Mike Miller was locked... but for what reason? We were talking about white players playing in the NBA. Since when is that void to lock the topic?

I mean, it's not like I care that much that it's particularly white people we were talking about, but like, wouldn't we make a topic if there was an all-Latino team? Or how bout an all-Europe team??

Are we not allowed to express opinions about an all-white team? Board mods need to check themselves.

and uh, go Magic.

I know, wasn't there an All-Black topic not locked months ago. Double standred.

I'm gonna get Jesse Jackson on this case.

^ I believe it's responses like that which make the topics locked.

Race threads on the General NBA Board, no matter if it's all-white, all-black, all-latino or what have you, should be locked. If one was not locked in the past, that's our fault, and it should have been.

What possible good can come from a race-related thread on the GB? If people want to discuss the merits of race and basketball, do so on the CA board, please.

And if any of you feel like continuing this discussion, please feel free to PM myself or any other GB mod. Thanks.
