I've seen the Rutger's Bball team (the much popularized 'nappy headed hoes' -_- ) and their game is at about the same level of excitement as a male team... If someone's going to watch a bunch of people run around in short shorts and loose low cut jerseys, display feats of athletics and flexibility, and get all sweaty and over heated....why wouldn't it be someone of the gender of their preference?Inghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024689390434414829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12623101.post-66162350579231671042010-01-24T15:47:34.794-06:002010-01-24T15:47:34.794-06:00He's totally within his rights to form an all ...He's totally within his rights to form an all white basketball team, if that's what he wants.<br /><br />...and I'm totally within my rights to sit back and laugh at his attempts to attribute this to anything other than racist motives.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110924345936736769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12623101.post-68436959721868779442010-01-20T23:21:16.261-06:002010-01-20T23:21:16.261-06:00Since when can white people play basketball?

I applied for an internship at HUD, and in doing some research about on going projects in the hope that I get an interview, I came across <a href="http://portal.hud.gov/portal/page/portal/HUD/press/press_releases_media_advisories/2009/HUDNo.09-238" rel="nofollow">this</a>:<br /><br />WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development today announced that it is charging a Marshall County, Alabama, trailer owner and rental manager with discriminating against a white family by disconnecting water service and forcing them to leave because the manager objected to interracial dating.
