2008 McDonald’s All-American game

[Jimmy Chitwood]

this year might be an all-time low. only 3 of the 24 players in the men's game will be white.

roster

the three white kids are all big men, because as we all "know" white men don't have the afleticism to play with the "real" afletes. ugh!

the lone white member of the East roster is Tyler Zeller who has committed to North Carolina. he should feel a whole like Tyler Hansbrough does... being the only white player to see the floor for his team.

on the West, two white men have managed to get past security and into the game... power forward Luke Babbitt has committed to Nevada. center B.J. Mullens, who looks weird in that photo, has committed to Ohio State.

i've seen both Babbitt and Mullens play. they are very, very good.

new year, same tune.

of the 24 McDonald's All-Americans named this year, only 4 are white. that's one up from last year, so i suppose we should be excited.

North Carolina has 2 white players in the game (the Wear brothers), and Duke has 2 (Ryan Kelly and Mason Plumlee).

it's even worse on the Jordan All-American team, where only one white athlete made the cut, Mason Plumlee.

It's the same every year Jimmy, give or take a white player. I never watch these games.

I never watch these games at all, it's already boring enough to see a game full of blackies.

I bet the White fans contribute 95% of the revenue for these events. At what point do they quit supporting it? I know when my alma mater quit recruiting and playing White players, I got bored and quit watching.

Duke signee, and 6-10 forward, Ryan Kelly was the only white man in the 3-point shoot out. but he won.

fellow Duke signee, and a6-11 forward, Mason Plumlee was the only white man in the dunk contest, and he took second place. both announcers admitted that he was robbed and should have won.

My friend told me the dukie recruits nearly took the skills competetion, which is great news!

Plumlee has great hops and if he was black they would be ranting and raving
about it like crazy.

Zags Sr. Micah Downs came close to taking a dunk title home last night.

duke is becoming one of my favorite teams. they are anti caste.
