Friday Piece

This video made me feel many different things. Please watch it before reading on, if the link doesn't work for some reason, it's the first one of the AJC videos.

So there's this guy who wants to start an all white basketball league, it's not an incredibly bad idea, but he is sticking to his guns and claiming that it's not a racist move. He goes on and on about "the good old days" of basketball, and how you used to be able to go and enjoy yourself and how white players have more of the fundamentals, implying that black ball players are just born with basketball skills.

My favorite part is when he says that he wants [white] people to be able to go and relax at a game just as [black] people can go to a Lil' Wayne concert and "have a good time and forget about all your troubles." (when really, the only think Lil' Wayne raps about is his troubles)

Later, he just happens to menntion that people have already contacted him about turning his idea into a reality show, which, for me makes it seem like that was the only reason he was doing any of this in the first place. The show will show the white league, and at the end have an all star game against all black all stars. The show is to be called "Snow Ball ve. Bro Ball."
