-- also, in rare instances where a White athlete may be compared to a Black athlete, the qualifier of "He's like a White _____" precedes the Black athlete's name, i.e., "He's like a White Jerome Bettis", with the tacit understanding that the White athlete being compared is an inferior version.
Black athletes are very rarely if ever compared to White athletes because of the caste media's successful brainwashing of people into thinking that such a comparison would be tantamount to accusing the Black player of being unathletic.
Thus, no Black basketball players are called a "Black Larry Bird". Even if it's meant as a compliment because the Black athlete is clutch and a good leader, there's still an implication that Larry Bird is slow and not athletic.
If a Black player is meant to be complimented for his clutch play, he will be compared to another Black athlete who is reliable in such situations.
How many Black basketball players are compared to John Stockton? He's clearly one of the top five point guards of ALL TIME, yet to compare a Black athlete to him would be calling the Black player slow and stodgy.
Well there it is.
