Nice to see Merrill emerge as a key rotation figure. 8.8 ppg is not too shabby considering his lack of play up until this year. With Dean Wade and Max Strus starting plus Merrill off the bench, the Cavs aren’t a terrible team to watch.Sam Merrill went 8 of 13 from 3 last night for Cleveland. Finally developing as a threat off the bench as a sharpshooter. Always thought Milwaukee should have kept him.
Luka had a triple double with 38pts 18reb and 13ast. So good.
Anyone else get so frustrated that many of our young stars adopt the language and mannerisms of black thugs?
That’s what I’m saying. He played at Whitnall High School, south west area. Maybe 30 mins from where I live.He’s From Suburban Milwaukee lol.
I'd definitely draw the line at a quadroon like Hartenstein. Just because he's one that got the dice roll to pass white, doesn't change what's underneath the hood. If you based everything purely on exterior, we'd have a lot of problems. You'd need a more stringent check and pass. Israel has one for right of return. You need to have the right percentage of Jewish ancestry to get citizenship.That’s fine if you want to draw a hardline. By all means, don’t root for Hartenstein.
Just curious, do you advocate the “one drop rule”? In a hypothetical future White enthnostate, would you prohibit people that have 5% or less non-White DNA? Would you draw a line somewhere?
If you champion this guy it makes us look ridiculous. They'll put down his athletic prowess to his father who he makes no qualms about bringing up all the time to prove his "blackness". I'm not American, so maybe i don't have this lost cause mindset where i'm claiming white passing mulattos as my own. Even within a mixed family they vary in appearance. It doesn't make them White because on passes more.Perhaps. But remember that the goal here at CF is to promote white players and hope that they inspire others to emulate them. And more than that, to break down the view that whites are athletically inferior to blacks. That last is the caste system in a nutshell. So if your casual NBA fan, or basketball scout sees this bloke, he's not white? I guarantee that if you did a random survey at a game where this fellow was playing what race he was, 99%+ would say he's a honkie. To then lecture them on genetics and how he's really Kunta Kinte is probably not productive.
I can’t argue with your logic and I agree with you. The only thing I can really counter with is that a lot of average fans won’t do the legwork to see if he is part black and just take it at face value. As far as mixed race players appearing mostly White I personally tune them out and stop rooting for them.If you champion this guy it makes us look ridiculous.

One of the best things about this site is that differing opinions are allowed. I don't watch much (any) NBA basketball these days so I did not know of this Isaiah Hartenstein guy until a few posts ago. The average fan will see him as white, period. A casual google search doesn't give you any indication that he's really as black as Kyrie Irving on the inside. If you go through the pain of looking at Wikipedia it mentions that his father is a German basketball coach and former player of mixed heritage. That's it.I’m going to posit something that I’m sure will get blood boiling:
If a person is overwhelmingly white, passes for it to the naked eye (and to the average fan), but has a small percentage of other blood… is white blood so weak that 90-95% gets drowned out by the 5-10% that’s not?
We should be highlighting why white culture is superior and honor our ancestry, but the position I take is that I believe strongly in the strength of white blood to overpower trace amounts of non-white.
Up to 60 now with plenty of time left in 4th!Espn doesn't think sports fans care despite NBA All Star Starter Luka Doncic going for 41 points in the first half. They really do hate
our guys and they don't hide it anymore in my opinion.
Great point! White blood is stronger than all others, it’s crazy to think it can be defeated by 5-10% of otherI’m going to posit something that I’m sure will get blood boiling:
