Since Sarver and the Suns have decided to make a political statement it is only fair other teams and players be allowed the same opportunity. Are there no black NBA players willing to take a stand for their communities? Immigration has a negative effect on black Americans. And not just...

Linda Ronstadt was at the May Day rally in Tucson. She sensibly avoided sun overexposure by wearing loose clothes and a large sun hat. She is really pale. When did Ms. Ronstadt become Mexican? Her paternal great grandfather immigrated from Germany to northern Mexico in the 1840s and married...

Pima County (which includes Tucson) Sheriff Clarence Dupnik was asked what he thought of the new law. 'I think it's crap.', replied the public servant. (And he really said 'crap' right there on TV. Right there on the ol' picture box. Not bleeped out or anything.) Later he gave a press...

"...I wonder how many of those chicos were closer to 17 than to 12? Half the team? Latin Americans are notorious for that gambit..." Now, now, we mustn't stereotype. This is from the April 9, 1998 issue of 'The Tucson Weekly'. "Amphi High School's Baseball Coach Has Some Explaining To...

You've got a good point DL. Tyrone comes to mind. http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/2003/03/07/story781623889.asp From the Irish Examiner: "By Sean O'Driscoll IRISH Americans who name their children after their favourite county could unwittingly be exposing their children to...

"...Out of curiosity, do Ivy League schools even give out Scholarships for their Basketball players?..." No athletic scholarships in the Ivy League. Nor do schools temporarily suspend academic standards to stock a team or two with 'deserving youths'. It would be obvious and there would be...

Gavin McInnes at Takimag.com reviews the Oscars: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/oscar_fashion_wrap_what_the_red_carpet_taught_us/ J-Lo showed up to take her title back from J-Woww as the only female J-Abbreviation allowed in the tri-state area. She had put on a bit of weight but...

Socialism is unpopular among American whites because the 'social' component includes non-whites. Non-whites like it because whites will indirectly pay them for mere existence. Ultimately whites will receive even fewer benefits than non-whites despite social welfare programs being ostensibly...

'Scientific American Frontiers' with host Alan Alda (Italian-American) is interesting. The episode 'Coming Into America' covered the 'first into the Americas' question and focused on archaeological evidence rather than DNA and skeletal remains. The key seemed to be the similarity between...

This can be fun stuff. The founder and owner of the company that makes Bratz Dolls (which some argue promote an attitude of sluttiness among young girls) is an Iranian Jew. He was only described as 'Iranian' during a 60 Minutes profile. "...Came to America with 50 cents in his pocket and...

Oscars are usually presented with an underlying theme. One year Asian ('Flying Dragon'), the next Hispanic ('Frida'). The best example was the African-American year when Denzel Washington (Best Actor for 'Training Day'), Halle Berry (Best Actress for 'Monster's Ball') and Sidney Poitier...

There's another Youtube video of an Asian-black dustup on a San Francisco MUNI bus. 'Ling ling kicked her ...' The Asian woman (appeared to be Chinese) was being threatened by a black woman. The black then hit the Asian woman. The Asian woman then fought back. Worth checking out. What...

PC: Hi, I'm a PC. Mac: And I'm a Mac. PC, do you hate white people? PC: Yes, no, what!? What's the question? Do I hate white people? No, I'm white. Mac: But your scholarships are only for people of color. PC: Well, obviously they need the help. Mac: Because they're inferior...

If only Steve Jobs had a chance at such a scholarship. Imagine what he could have accomplished.

I'm doing my part. The dryer lint filter was due to be cleaned. At first the person at the phone bank was confused. But I explained it was special white people lint, chock-full of special white people magic. Highly appreciative. I think I heard the phrase 'mo fo', undoubtedly the Haitian...

If there are any doubts there is a concerted effort to demean the Ks one need only consider the 'Last Call With Carson Daly' show. Ostensibly an alterna-music/celeb showcase. Mr. Daly interviewed the exciting heavyweight Tor Hamer, prefacing the segment with comments along the lines of...

http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com/index.html Two articles stand out, All-Star Alcoholics (great (white) athletes who were also great drinkers) http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com/issues/55/55-all-star-alcoholics.html and, Blood and Wine (Caesar's Fifth Legion)...

Is there a precedent for this in American sports? Yes. The Oorang Indians of LaRue, Ohio. They were an all-Native American team that played in the NFL during the 1922 and 1923 seasons. Their most famous player was.......Jim Thorpe. If it was good enough for Jim Thorpe...

Coakley is vile. She prosecuted the nanny baby shaking case. The mixed race couple (white/south Asian) and the Asian mother-in-law were the most likely suspects yet they were never considered. Instead a young and naive white British girl was persecuted. No evidence. No confession. No...

What I hope and pray for is someone has the good sense to mix in oral contraceptives with the food aid. If successful the program could be expanded to the dollar menu at McDonald's.

"...Wait, are you actually housing Haitian victims, or not? For your sake, I hope you were kidding..." Just kidding. Having dealt with Haitians in America I've no use for them. But still, if only every white family in America took in 50 or so precious Haitians all of Haiti's problems...

Wyclef Jean only paid himself $400,000 out of his charity. Life ain't easy for a pimp 'n all, nor for an entertainer with a declining career. Mr. Jean, 'I just want to say something. I saw pictures of them dropping food and water on my people. My people aren't animals.' Gratitude...

There is a mindset which still associates black music with being au courant and progressive. The sort of persons who bemoan the fact radio and popular music are so 'segmented'. The sort of persons who decide that all romantic scenes in movies must be backgrounded with sweet soul music...

I wonder what Dominicans, a majority of whom are white, think of their country being represented in America by mostly black baseball players. Are they the Hispanic equivalents of American DWFs, rooting for 'their' players?

According to Barron's this ends the era of big money corporate sponsorship of sports. Cell phone cameras, blogs, twitter, 24 hour news, erratic performance, etc. make things too transparent and too risky. And many of the deals didn't make sense. $64 million p.a. to the French national soccer...
