If that's your own personal choice fine but what the hell does the "security issue" have to do with it, I personally do see it as a racist remark. I think craziness comes in all colors it doesn't discriminate, so by thinking a statement like that should make you feel safer for not seeing a black guy, the same bad things could happen with a white or brown...just sayin.

Is insecurity a security issue?

Ahhh, Tiger...you said you'd never tell ANYONE about my FB...shame on you! Double damn...now everyone knows!

SA210, just a question...why do you think her posting is racist? What qualifies it as *racist* in your opinion? And, would you feel the same way...if an AA provider had posted the same thing?

I'm sure they would still be offended, there's lots of people that still have the wisdom to put themselves in each others shoes.

Chicken or the egg?

Hell, put yourselves in a black man's shoes. Every time you look through ads, no matter where they're at, every time you look through, you're ALWAYS seeing some form of 'No African Americans'. You see the shit over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and overand over and fucking over again!

I bet you got tired of reading 'and over' in the above, didn't you? It's OK to admit it. Now, imagine looking through Dallas BP, for example. If you did a search on 'black' or 'african', you just MIGHT see that many NBA ads afterwards. Granted, some of them will repeat, but it's still quite a bit. Every day we have to be reminded that we're on the fringe of the American culture, as if the rest of country is trying to vote us out of society. Then you got jokers insisting that it's OK to single out ONE ETHNIC GROUP as malcontents, the only ones capable of violence and other undesirable actions of the civilized world.

If no one stood up for this, it would develop some level of acceptance, beyond what's being displayed now. I wonder how bad this would get if all 'brothas' just started 'letting it ride'. When providers say 'No AA', what, are we supposed to dip our head and say, Yes, massa??

Please. If this was reversed, y'all (the condoners) would be doing the exact same shit.

lol, this is funny/dumb:http://northeasttexas.backpage.com/F...ay-22/13827946
I see you rambo, remember to do that for all sides though, cus all skin-tones have been the subject of rascism. The grass is different on the other side; what's going on in this area is totally different in another area....there are lots of neutral areas, where everybody is a "brother/sister"

No I didn't because I just skipped everything but the first "over". You might try skipping the ads that have an NBA policy and finding the ones that like seeing you. Oh wait, if you did that you wouldn't be able to whine and cry like a little bitch every fucking day.

Randall Creed · 08-06-2011, 08:10 AM

Budman...MY MAN!

Just can't ignore some things, dude.

Things that you know are INHERENTLY wrong...you know, things that YOUR GUT FEELING says is wrong, you just can't ignore.

To give up on this, to 'let it slide', to 'not worry about it', etc, etc, would be out of character.

Hell, I just went through this yesterday, in fact. Funny thing is, I'm momentarily taken aback every time it happens, as if it's something new. I've been through it dozens of times, in various forms over a lifetime. Each time it feels new. You never get used to it.

I can't accept that this should be treated as a norm or that it's OK. If this is an inconvenience to you, my apologies.

Hey Flinde... do us all a favor, put this one out of it's misery and ask it be closed.

Rambo, feel free to start another thread in National discussion forum. I think we have had our filll of it here in SA.

flinde · 08-06-2011, 10:53 AM

Sorry, canyonman, I cant. I feel very strongly that NBA policies do not belong in ads and showcases here. And San Antonio is where I am involved in this thing of ours.
