    What population of black americans are in official sports teams?
    I mean come on now.
    Stop effing up my thread with this utter nonsense.

    Jews are great at making matza balls so they didn't have life as bad as we thought.
    Ug.

    Ever wonder WHY black americans end up trying to pursue sports teams?

    Because America is racist.

    The nba is almost seventy-five percent black and they have an average salary of about four million dollars.

    Also, America is one of the most culturally and racially accepting places in the world.

    Racism is not an American problem, it's a human problem and one that is increasingly going away as we are becoming more educated and globally connected.

    If we are one of the most accepting countries in the world I guess we can quit crying about Harriet Tubman being on some paper then.

    Glad that's over.

    Oh no, my argument of "only white men should be on money" has been thoroughly thwarted.

    Let's do some stupid math.

    there are 30 teams in the NBA
    Each team can have a max of 15 players
    75% of those players are black.

    *busts out the abacus.

    30 teams with 15 players gives us 450
    75% are black.
    337 and half a black dude later

    2014 Black males census says 21.5 MILLION

    omg. You are so right. Those black people need to hush up.

    Let's do some more math.
    Because sports.

    How many black people in tennis?
    Tour de France?
    Volleyball?
    Gymnastics?
    Golf?
    swimming?

    Shall I go on or do you want to go on with your silly non mathematical self?

    We can. I'm hyped up on a smores frap



    Also just because other countries are racists doesn't mean we aren't.

    Re: Go Harriet Tubman!

    I am not arguing that black people aren't disadvantaged. The problems are largely due to a lack of integration, which itself is largely due to ghettos. I've gone into this a few times already, but those threads got shut down, but the gist of it is that it's much more complicated than "because racism."

    Even if it was entirely due to racism (or prejudice, bigotry, etc.) the solution is still integration and education with a fair bit of criminal justice reform for good measure.

    Its just paper,and soon to be obsolete anyway what with digital money now. Truth be told just how many people still use paper cash.
    How many sports players can dance on the head of a pin?
    How many women get to run the world,or even maybe get elected to be POTUS,and are still blocked from getting anything good done for the people.?

    The game has always been rigged,and it seems always will be.
