No World Series for St. Louis, Michael Brown, Black People


We played every day last week, and one day we played two games, and had to get up at three o’clock in the morning to catch a train. And then look at the team we’ve got (to play). It’s like a third-class amateur club. We did not want to go over there (to New York) on Sunday, especially to play a nigger club, and we didn’t go.

Third baseman Arlie Latham (Racist Suspect) makes it plain why the St. Louis Browns (now St. Louis Cardinals) would not compete against a black ball club in 1887. Whites encourage non-white people to think there has been astronomical progress, gargantuan improvement in race relations. Latham's 19th century White Supremacy remains remarkably stable, everlasting.
[Jackie] Robinson told Roger Kahn in The Boys of Summer, his history of the Dodgers of the late 40s and early 50s, that he and his fellow black players were jeered at everywhere in the league, but nowhere worse than [St. Louis]. Robinson and [Don] Newcombe and their black teammates were not, of course, permitted to stay in the air-conditioned, "white only" Chase Park Plaza with the rest of the team. In 1954, Newcombe told [George] Vecsey, he and Robinson took a cab to the Chase. Robinson told the manager, "You know why we're here. Don just got back from the military for two years, and he wants to stay at your hotel, like any other man in America." The manager gave them rooms on condition that they didn't use the pool.
In the 21st century, where Robinson's jersey has been retired by every major league baseball team and his life the subject of a 2013 Hollywood epic...
The African-American population in baseball is virtually unchanged from a year ago at 7.8%, according to USA TODAY Sport's survey of opening-day rosters and disabled lists.  There are 67 black players in the major leagues, with three teams not represented by a single African-American player - the San Francisco Giants, Arizona Diamondbacks and St. Louis Cardinals.
This compounds the hideousness of an 18-year-old black child being gunned down and buried; his corpse adorned with a Cardinals' cap. This also provides context for the appalling (not surprising) conduct of White St. Louis fans who unified their celebration of a return trip to the National League Championship Series with the glorification of Darren Wilson and black death.

On Monday night, mostly white St. Louis Cardinals fans clashed with a group of mostly black protesters peacefully demanding justice for slain teenager Michael Brown. The Cardinals fans were super racist and horrible.  At one point, an older white man starts yelling at the protesters, shouting, “That’s right! If they’d be working, we wouldn’t have this problem!” Then, the Cardinals fans begin chanting, “Let’s go Cardinals!” which morphs into “Let’s go Darren!” referring to Darren Wilson, the police officer who fatally shot Brown.
Mr. Latham could time-travel 125 years and seamlessly join his White Sisters and Brothers. They are Darren Wilson. Under the System of White Supremacy, the black collective is Dred Scott. No rights which the white man [or white woman] is bound to respect.

Black Self-Respect is a fundamental aspect of the demise of White Supremacy. White Supremacy/Racism is perpetual war against all non-white people - especially black people. Our value of black life should be manifest in how our time and energy is allocated daily - hourly. Because the White collective occupies the most powerful position globally, many of us are required to invest large portions of our time (Life Currency) in White-dominated enterprises in exchange for a paycheck to live get by. However, we are not required to and should immediately desist with giving a nickel or second to the likes of the Cardinals, Clippers or Cowboys.


Unrelenting White Terrorism prompts Victims of Racism to search for sanctuary, escapism, a realm - even a hallucination - where melanin dominant humans enjoy Justice, fair play. Whites have more recently permitted a scant number of black girls and boys to participate in their ball game conglomerate. Jesse Owens, Jim Brown, Althea Gibson, Serena and Venus Williams, Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson and countless other black athletes provide a glimpse of black excellence. Every dunk, knockout and touchdown is symbolic retaliation, negation of the nagging Racist proclamation of black inferiority.


It should be painfully obvious that an infinite number of Tiger Woods, Lisa Leslie or Dominique Dawes triumphs inflict no damage on the global empire of White Supremacy and offer insufficient (if any) tangible gains to black people collectively. Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh secured the first of two consecutive NBA championships for South Florida in 2012. Black Floridians Jordan Davis and Trayvon Martin were gunned down the same year. Chicago Racists have gone horse worshiping Gale Sayers, Walter Payton, Michael Jordan, Frank Thomas, Sammy Sosa and Derrick Rose. But these same Whites are responsible for the horrendous living conditions of black residents of the Windy City.

Pause for Leanita McClain.

Michael Brown, Jr. figuratively and literally bled Cardinal Red on August 9th; his body and St. Louis baseball hat strewn in the street for hours. Has William DeWitt, Jr. or any other member of the Cardinals ownership explicitly addressed Brown's shooting death, reached out to the Brown family, or admonished the White hooligans who simultaneously praised their franchise and a White killer?
White Cardinals management's tepid response to Michael Brown, Jr. and the White filth paraded at their ballpark represents the unredeemed Psychopathic Racial Personality of George Preston Marshall, Donald Sterling, Danny Ferry, Marge Schott, Ben Chapman and the past, present and future cadre of Racist oligarchs who own and manage the sports plantation. White owners, White coaches, White managers and White players routinely display disregard, contempt and/or naked hostility (racial animus) towards black athletes - black people in general. This is an undisputed, permanent-ink-fact for the global sporting industry prior to 1970. Sadly, in 2014 Whites' Racist Pathology and unwavering devotion to the abuse of black people remains widespread and unfettered as Darren Wilson - highlighting the demented nature of black obsession with White ball games.

The Seattle Seahawks christened 2014 with a Super Bowl championship. The accompanying media hoopla revealed the White perception of blackness that would permeate the year and contribute to the demise of Michael Brown, Renisha McBride, Eric Garner and Johnathan Crawford, III. Stanford Cardinals alumnus, pro bowl cornerback Richard Sherman was marked a "thug" - among other Racist terms - for speaking loudly in the presence of a White Woman. Whites did everything short of producing surveillance footage of Sherman committing a strong-arm robbery.
The reason it bothers me is because it seems like it's an accepted way of calling somebody nigger now. It's like everybody else said nigger and then they say 'thug' and that's fine. It kind of takes me aback and it's kind of disappointing because [Whites] know.
The White brass of the Philadelphia Eagles made a similar assessment of DeSean Jackson and terminated his employment in The City of Brotherly Love. Pennsylvania inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal deciphered the White hypocrisy.

[Jackson] is as fast as he is graceful. But to Eagles big wigs none of that mattered. A story broke noting Jaskson’s friendships with several members of the notorious Crips gang. After that, he was cut - a classic case of guilt by association. Despite press accounts, gangs have been here in the United States virtually since it’s beginning.  In the 1800’s, Irish gangs fought pitched battles between so-called nativists and newly arrived immigrants. Check out the movie The Gangs Of New York. You want to know what happened to them? They became the core of the NYPD, the New York Police Department.
And Richard Sherman was castigated for mimicking a chokehold.

Basketball fans and the population at large spent much of the spring feigning surprise and outrage or reducing Donald Sterling's recorded (repeated) disdain for black people to a senior moment. Most were unaware of Greg Cote's (Racist Suspect) column celebrating the Miami Heat's Eastern Conference Finals conquest of Lance Stephenson and the Indiana Pacers.

And now this is the Indiana Pacers and dirty Lance Stephenson, slinking back to a fan base that should be ashamed by what they have just seen from their team and from the punk who volunteered himself as the ugly face of it. Stephenson's egregiously dirty streetball gives one the impression that if his skills hadn't put him in NBA clothes, his uniform by now might be an orange jumpsuit, county-issue.
Cote and the Miami Herald were unable to stand their ground; they redacted Cote's report from the Herald archives and Cote issued a public apology for a "lapse in judgment." He declared he would have described a White player in the same manner. On the contrary, Mr. Cote has no record of criminalizing one of Miami sports most infamous White athletes, Richie Incognito. This White goon has a lengthy record of misconduct and admitted drug use. He was the center of allegations of "racial animus" and bullying of another Stanford alumnus and former Miami Dolphin teammate, Jonathan Martin. Incognito admitted to calling Martin a nigger and accosting him with crude, sadistic voice messages. A lengthy report was ultimately released regarding the toxic environment surrounding the Dolphins ball club. The following text exchange between Incognito and an unnamed White man (former Dolphins employee) echoes the "I Am Darren Wilson," White mentality. They discussed purchasing firearms and shooting black people. 


Player B: Especially if u plan living in Arizona in the future, that’s exactly what you want  
Incognito:Yea. For picking off zombies  
Player B: Lol isn’t that why we own any weapons!? 
Incognito: That and black people  
Player B: Mmm def all black ppl  
Four days later, Incognito and Player B discussed riflescopes in text 
Player B: Yes. That’s a solid optic made specifically for a .308 battle rifle 
Incognito: Perfect for shooting black people  
Player B: Lol exactly

Incognito, Ted Wafer, Michael Dunn, Darren Wilson and the White collective are equivalent. All demonstrate unprovoked, habitual, potentially lethal hostility towards black people. The sports entertainment complex is just one area of people activity that provides a steady, undiluted presentation of what Whites think about black people and a simultaneous regulator of black thinking and black investments of time and currency - particularly black males.

Entertainers and athletes are the popular heroes of the African-American community. Physical prowess or comic exploit are the only characteristics Black heroes are permitted to express. Intellectual acuity, prophetic vision, moral integrity, technological know-how, and managerial efficiency are characteristics seldom, if ever, portrayed. Consequently, the slave images of power persists. African-American children, as a consequence, strive to throw balls or croon on microphones, rather than seeking to explore the universe, discover cures for infectious diseases, or discover ways to feed the starving masses in Africa or India. Such a preoccupation with impotent images was a device to keep the slave's aspirations in check. The persistence of such models to the exclusion of others, perpetuates the conditions of slavery. Na'im Akbar

No manifestation of the Yankees is devoted to the plight of black people. New Yorkers exhibited greater passion and value for the life of Derek Jeter than Eric Garner, Ramarley Graham, Kimani Grey, or Marcel Hamer combined. One aspect of how White Supremacy has contaminated our thoughts, speech, actions and emotions is that we also demonstrate greater concern, responsiveness, and worship for White ball games than black lives.


Ohio brims with jubilee and anticipation for the start of Cleveland Cavaliers basketball. Their prodigal property LeBron James returned; Dan Gilbert and White Ohioans erased the hate of 2010 faster than John Crawford, III's life was extinguished. Both lynchings - James symbolically, Crawford literally - should be enough to permanently divorce black support of all Ohio sports teams. No member of the Cavaliers, Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Browns or Cleveland Indians has uttered a peep about Crawford's slaughter or the failure to indict the killer White officers. Black people should reciprocate their disinterest; reallocate our time ogling Kyrie Irving's jump shot and new teammates to better serve the needs of black people whom court death by visiting Wal-Mart.


Too many black people's pupils are fixated on White ball games. Regrettably, it's almost certain that more black males are aware of Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant's foot injury than Oklahoma City Police Officer and Suspected Rapist Daniel Holtzclaw. Holtzclaw has been arrested and charged with raping or sexually abusing at least ten females. It's been reported that his victims may have been exclusively black females. The Oklahoma NAACP has requested that Attorney General Eric Holder open a "Hate Crime" investigation. The Thunder's championship aspirations and sole ailments of the league MVP are of no concern to the souls of black folks. Black wombs, black testicles are our most valued treasures. Whites defile them impunity.
“I remember vividly a rare occasion when I was invited to join a poker game. One of the participants was a Georgia guy, Hugh Casey, the relief pitcher. Casey’s luck wasn’t too good during the game, and at one point he addressed a remark directly to me that caused a horrified silence. “You know what I used to do down in Georgia when I ran into bad luck?” he said. “I used to go out  and find me the biggest, blackest nigger woman I could find and rub her teats to change my luck.” I don’t believe there was a man in that game, including me, who thought that I could take that. I had to force back my anger. I had the memory of Mr. Rickey’s words about looking for a man “with guts enough not to fight back.” Finally, I made myself turn to the dealer and told him to deal the cards. Jackie Robinson I Never Had It Made
The New York Times has not seen it fit to print a sentence about a peace officer (Holtzclaw) sexually terrorising the black citizens he's sworn to serve and protect. However, they've been unrelenting and self-righteous investigating Jameis Winston and the Florida State Seminoles. Walt Bogdanich's Pulitzer-Prize-writing skills have been on full display as he excoriates Tallahassee's flagship university and local police for allowing unruly black savages to rape, plunder motor scooters, and harass sunshine state residents with BB guns - just like John Crawford, III. The essential aspect of Bogdanich's feature journalism is that the people who have most benefited from their melanin heavy defending national championship team are White. He reports that each FSU home game "pumps $1.5 million to $10 million in the local economy..." The families of Jordan Davis, Marissa Alexander, Trevor Dooley and Trayvon Martin are unlikely to receive a particle of this pie. Bogdanich provides evidence that black gridiron stars at FSU lack the "bucks" to pay rent. Tallahassee police officers endure no such financial hardships.

A successful football program is also good for Tallahassee police officers. They earn an extra $40 to $45 an hour, at university expense, providing traffic control on game days, according to the department. Last season, officers were paid a total of $112,000, according to the university.
White-dominated athletics benefits Whites; it's well documented and unremarkable to find black college athletes struggling to get their daily bread - cuisine or coins. Mark Emmert (Racist Suspect) and the NCAA have candidly relayed their intentions to appeal the August 2014 decision that student-athletes be compensated. They've been equally obstinate to Northwestern University football players' efforts to unionize. Even the supposition that athletics provides academic opportunities for financially challenged black students deserves reevaluation. Daisha Simmons encountered George Wallace era Massive Resistance attempting to transfer from the University of Alabama plantation. Her pursuit of an MBA and desire to aid her ailing black mother and brother were stymied by Shane Lyons and White Alabama officials who figuratively lashed a runaway slave.


The prominently displayed extreme minority of black athletes who matriculate to the professional ranks are no threat to the Racists who pay and bench them, no benefit to black people collectively. Most often, black athletes can't even help themselves. While Bogdanich and other Whites suggest that the gridiron exploits of Winston and OJ Simpson allow them to trespass White Women and stiff-arm  the law of the land, ESPN's Broke offers a contradictory, grim rebuttal. "78% of NFL players, 60% of NBA players file bankruptcy within five years of retirement." Lawrence Taylor. Sheryl Swoopes. Mike Tyson. Whites seem to anxiously await the fiscal ruin of once physically gifted black athletes.

Then reality came calling. After a nine-year career in the National Football League filled with honors and praises, I stepped into the real world and realized, in the words of Muhammad Ali, that I was "just another nigger." Kellen Winslow
Just another Michael Brown, Jr.

St. Louis hosted the Olympics games. This Greco-Roman celebration has never been on the continent of Africa or the continent of South America. The gold medals, trophies, pennants and playoffs are a commemoration of global White Supremacy.  America's pastime is a mnemonic for Racist Woman, Racist Man and Racist Child to keep melanin in the fields, in the courts, in check. The scoreboard forever announcing White Domination.

Whites dye the Kiener Plaza fountain red in support of their beloved (mostly White) St. Louis Cardinals. Montague Simmons, of the Organization for Black Struggle, said it evoked images of Kimberlee Randle-King, Carey Ball, Jr., Kajieme Powell, Vonderrit Myers, Michael Brown, Jr. and black Missourians'blood that soaked into the ground." The testimonies of Arlie Latham and Ted Simmons suggest it could be both.
[Simmons] was a kid who was born and raised in Michigan, drafted by the Cardinals in 1967, and saw things he couldn't believe.  Simmons vividly recalls the hurt and anger when his own Cardinals' teammates, Bob Gibson and Bill White, were turned away when they tried to move into an upscale neighborhood in St. Louis. Gibson wound up simply staying at a downtown hotel during the season, and immediately leaving for his hometown of Omaha, Neb., when the season ended. He remembers a disproportionate amount of cars pulled over in Clayton and Ladue belonging to African-American drivers.
Gibson, White and Simmons were all teammates of another legendary Cardinal, Curt Flood. Flood walked away from the game during his prime to take a principled stand against a sports industry he branded as "well paid slavery." Black people should borrow Flood's spirit and exile ourselves from the White world of sports. Racism deprived Michael Brown, Jr. from witnessing the Cardinals' 2014 run. #BlackSelfRespect demands that we purge our wardrobes of White sports paraphernalia, divest from the World Series, Super Bowl, Madden, NBA 2K15 and all other commodities of the White sporting industry. The Cardinals, White ball games should be permanently black balled.


Like drunken men.
You stagger to white men's games,
You stagger to white men's amusements.

"Interracial Relationships" Are SADD 3.0

Sex is the principle around which the whole structure of [White Supremacy] . . . is organized." Gunnar Myrdal
Oklahoma Police Officer, Suspected Racist and Suspected Rapist Daniel Holtzclaw has been arrested and charged with raping and/or molesting at least eight black females. Just like Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, Jr.'s killers, Whites invested in Holtzclaw; an alleged White sexual predator raked in approximately $10,000 in roughly three days. His bond was subsequently lowered and he's been released to house arrest. Thus far, Daniele Watts has received more attention and harsher treatment. And it's undisputed that she's raped no one.

These incidents reflect White values. These concurrent events offer additional evidence of the global empire of White Supremacy, White Terrorism. Sexual exploitation of non-white people is a persistent, undeniable and essential component of White amusement and domination. The predatory White psyche is on display when powerful Whites celebrate Halle Berry for Monster's Ball and Kerry Washington for Scandal and Django Unchained - costarring Daniel Watts. Pulp Fiction - another Quentin Tarantino tour de force - has enjoyed two decades of global White reverence and adulation; an Academy Award nominated landmark featuring Ving Rhames (black male) being anally raped by a White male enforcement official. 


Again, we pause for Abner Louima and those whom deny Tarantino and his work are an accurate illustration of White Pathology.


One would hope that these contemporary incidents along with historical and scholarly analysis such as Reneathia Tate, Trojan Horse Publications, Danielle McGuire, Dr. Mwalimu Baruti and others would allow non-whites to easily grasp the logic of why no non-white person should engage in sexual  intercourse (or sexual play) with any White person. One would be mistaken.


Ms. Jaya Sundaresh (non-white female) visited The C.O.W.S. in August of 2014. We discussed her report on Michael Brown, Jr., antiblackness amongst non-black, non-white people, and the 8th area of people activity (SEX). Ms. Sundaresh admitted to having been in a sexual relationship with a White man for a number of years; she conceded that this likely influences her thinking on this matter. We continued our dialog after the conclusion of the broadcast. These are her thoughts:

Hi Gus, apologies for the long wait on this email. I've been very busy helping my grandparents move into their new place here in Bangalore, and I've also been thinking about how best to respond to you, how best to tackle this conversation. 
Frankly, I'm baffled at your claim that all interracial relationships are inherently exploitative. People from different layers in the kyriarchy enter into consensual, healthy relationships all the time. It's called heterosexuality. Men and women, who occupy very different positions in society, have been pairing off since time immemorial. I'd argue that the vast majority of these relationships have been coercive, and were established to extract labor and sexual labor from women, but it would be foolish to deny that there do exist at least some healthy, non-coercive heterosexual relationships. Same thing with interracial relationships. I'm sure that most of them are exploitative. My learning curve about my own relationship history was very steep, and now I pretty much exclusively date other men of color, and preferably South Asian men -- but to insist that interracial relationships are ALWAYS coercive is taking it a step too far.  
Women, in particular, have always had to wrestle with partners who wield more institutional power than they do. We have always had to deal with exploitation, and we have always found ways to make it work.
In conclusion, political lesbianism is not the answer to the problem of heterosexuality, and the problems inherent in interracial relationships won't be solved by avoiding them altogether.
Secondly, and more importantly, I'm a little stunned that you, as a man, would presume to tell other women of color who they can and cannot enter into relationships with. Because there's a context here, a history that can't be ignored. Men of color have been telling women of color what to do with their bodies for a very long time, now. Women have been turned into the symbols of anticolonial, antiracist, nationalist movements since they began. Men have consistently viewed women as repositories into which culture must be stored -- and have seen women as objects to be kept safe from exploitation, for the good of the nation. Women have been asked to wear the veil, to retreat into the shadows, to remain in their place, their sphere, to refrain from taking leadership positions -- all in the name of the struggle. Every time a woman chooses something for herself, it must be judged worthy by the ideological leaders of the struggle -- who generally happen to be men.  
Men of color have been telling women of color for a very long time who they're allowed to have sex with, and who they're not. I think anyone who asks women to circumscribe their actions for the sake of a greater goal, such as keeping culture alive, needs to stop and seriously reconsider whether they are denying women their autonomy.
I also just want to say -- it's insulting to presume to tell people of color that they are being exploited because they are in an interracial relationship, if they aren't. That disrespects the struggle of people who have actually been abused. People sometimes don't know when they're being exploited -- that's true. Many victims of abuse go through periods of denial and rationalization. But telling every Olivia Pope or Mindy Kaling that they are being exploited because they sometimes date white men is like telling every straight woman that they're being exploited because they sometimes date men. It just doesn't work. It goes too far.  
I hope this email makes my position clearer, and feel free to share my words with whoever you like. I look forward to hearing your response.

Persistant: Atlanta Hawks Futility, White Pathology

This entire government is geared up to fight a war against White people. I'm sorry to have to tell you that. I'm sorry to break the news. I realize it's shocking. I realize your heart is palpitating. I realize you're saying, "Wait a minute. You can't say that." Well, I just said it. I'll say it again. This entire federal government is geared up to fight a war against White people. There was just insurrection in Missouri. Rioting. Looting, etc. They been waiting for an insurrection by White people. That's what the Homeland Security is getting ready for. All you evil White crackers. Michael Savage

Don't dismiss Mr. Savage's commentary as reckless "right-wing" ravings. Several Whites have publicly expressed paranoia about Pres. Obama or random black "kids" plotting their demise.

We're all prejudice in one way or the other. If I see a black kid in a hoodie and it's late at night, I'm walking to the other side of the street. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban
Cuban didn't stand his ground hypothetically or literally; he apologized to Trayvon Martin's family a few days after these remarks.

This is the context in which Bruce Levenson's allegedly controversial 2012 email should be evaluated. He's reportedly expressed remorse over his comments and agreed to sell his controlling share of the Atlanta Hawks franchise. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver condemned Levenson's musings and promised to re-double their anti-harassment and anti-discrimination policies with additional training.


Sensitivity training. A squirt of fragrance to mask centuries of pungent fumes of Racist rot in summer heat. The stench of Donald Sterling lingering fresh in our nose.


But Levenson isn't Sterling; the former does not have a public, irrefutable record of service as a White Race Soldier - terrorizing black citizens in many areas of people activity. Levenson's email presents frank business logistics and a matter-of-fact assessment of White convictions.

My theory is that the black crowd scared away the whites and there are simply not enough affluent black fans to build a significant season ticket base. Please don't get me wrong. There was nothing threatening going on in the arena back then. I never felt uncomfortable, but I think southern whites simply were not comfortable being in an arena or at a bar where they were in the minority. On fan sites I would read comments about how dangerous it is around Philips yet in our 9 years, I don’t know of a mugging or even a pick pocket incident. This was just racist garbage. When I hear some people saying the arena is in the wrong place I think it is code for there are too many blacks at the games.
A stadium filled with thousands of black people - some of them teens likely in hoodies. Cuban might be unwilling to accompany Dirk Nowitzki and company for their annual trip to ATL. Whitefolks generally have no interest being in close proximity to black people. If you're beyond middle school, this should be as shocking as the discovery that White "police" are often discourteous to black citizens or that Pres. Obama's election did not end Racism. Whites in Australia championed their "Whites Only" policy for decades. United States' citizenship was restricted solely to Whites until 1952. For several months, Whites have been downright unrelenting in promoting studies that conclude that a hefty portion of the White population has zero black friends; 75 percent of whites have "entirely white social networks without any [non-white] presence." If anything, there should be disbelief if Levenson is the first Hawks executive to comment on their critical mass of dark matter in the stands.

Pale forces of Madison Avenue and NBA executives including former commissioner David Stern have shared Levenson's anxieties about peddling an increasingly melanin dominant league to a majority White fan base. The following is from Dr. John Hoberman's Darwin's Athletes - published in 1996, nearly a decade before the infamous dress code and the ban on high school athletes joining the league.

“Charles Grantham, the black executive director of the NBA Players Association, offered this assessment in 1991: "A few years ago the NBA was perceived on Madison Avenue as being too black and too drug-infested. Once that was turned around, the league was able to promote its new personalities as exciting stars who were caring and concerned about their communities." In addition to creating the illusion of substantial player involvement in the black community, this theater of pseudo-reconciliation also serves to mitigate the pathos of American segregation, as Peter de Jonge has pointed out, by creating one-sided relationships between white fans and the black athletes they admire from afar: "In the last decade, the N.B.A., long considered too black to attract a mainstream audience, has prospered by giving middle-class whites, desperate for some semblance of a connection to black America, a series of unthreatening yet bigger-than-Iife cartoon superheroes called Magic, Michael, Charles and Shaquille." Far from concealing this manipulative campaign, the president of the NBA, David Stern, has boasted of the league's image-based strategy to gentrify its black giants and in the process create crossover market appeal in the manner of the Disney entertainment empire: "They have theme parks, and we have theme parks. Only we call them arenas. They have characters: Mickey and Goofy. Our characters are named Magic and Michael [Jordan]." (pg 150)
Black athletes converted to $40 million clowns to soothe White angst. A paternalistic imperative demands that White coaches and owners domesticate, season black savages for White consumption. William C. Rhoden declared that this "plantation mentality" is not isolated to Sterling - or Levenson.
Every time I walk into a press box, Michel [Martin], and see no African-American reporters, or every time I walk into a newsroom and see no African-American editors or, like, no reporters, you know, [Whites] are saying the same things without necessarily saying it. We don't respect you.  We don't respect black people. We're not going to hire you. We don't want you around.
As a former resident of Atlanta, (Gone With The Wind) Georgia,  personal experience amplifies that Mr. Levenson and Mr. Rhoden ain't just whistlin' Dixie. Robert Weintraub details how Atlanta's pro sports teams provide an accurate, pitiful appraisal of Racism:
The NFL’s Falcons offer another window into the city’s racial rift. The Falcons, too, are moving to a new stadium, one that’s still in downtown Atlanta. While the franchise, led by owner Arthur Blank, is staying inside the city’s perimeter (“ITP” to the locals), it’s relocating from an area considered by many to be “too black” to attract white fans. And in the name of snagging larger profits from a surrounding entertainment district, the team is razing a pair of historic black Baptist churches in the vicinity of the new stadium. The symbolism there isn’t pretty.
A White-owned franchise expelling black temples of worship for the sake of enticing greater numbers of Matt Ryan's White flock... talk about Dr. King's most segregated Sunday hour. And while we're on Atlanta, remember the 2014 snow storm that blasted ATL like the second coming of General Sherman? Tracy Thompson did a spectacular job illustrating how White revulsion of black people stifled MARTA and exacerbated hazardous, winter driving conditions.
I was a kid when then-Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. proposed a rapid rail system to link Atlanta to its surrounding suburbs, and I distinctly remember the joke circulating among white people back then, the one that said that MARTA (the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) actually stood for “Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta.” Plain and simple, it was white folks’ fear of black folks that explained the failure of a sales-tax hike to fund rapid rail in three of the then five counties making up the metro Atlanta area.
Rich Benjamin documented Whites across the country yearning and/or working expeditiously to produce and maintain residential enclaves sans melanin - some of them in Forsyth, GA. Businesses incorporate this Racist predilection into their corporate strategy. Texas' Kung Fu Saloon has been repeatedly accused of mistreating potential non-white customers. A former White employee alleges that she was terminated for not adhering to their White Supremacist code:
Patrons or would-be patrons, have consistently complained that the dress code is selectively enforced against [non-whites]. Now an ex-event planner says she was trained to screen calls and deny customers who sounded "too ghetto" or "too Asian." The term "ghetto" she said, was code word for African American and added, "I never saw a white person turned away."  When she did not she heard comments like, "Why is it so dark in here? Why is it so Asian in here? Did you not screen these phone calls?"
Whites are not ignorant about Racism. They codify their pathologies into concepts and strategies that consistently yield the best results for the Racist White collective - which translates into predictable, perpetual abuse of non-white people, especially black people. Levenson believed that White Atlantans were using coded language to suggest that Hawks' games were treacherous because of the large black presence. The Dallas tavern was alleged to have a wardrobe code that could be strategically employed to exclude non-white people. David Stern and other White league executives (Suspected Race Soldiers) were widely believed to have instituted a dress code and age restrictions in acquiescence to their Racist fan base.

Context is crucial to grasp the Racist motivations that produced the 2005 age and wardrobe referendums. NBA icon "property" Michael Jordan retired in 2003. A year later USA Basketball suffered its first defeat with NBA players at the Athens Olympics. A few short months after this international humiliation, the Detroit suburbs became the site of a historic melee between the Pistons and Indiana Pacers; Ron Artest (black male) charged into the stands to confront a Suspected Racist spectator (John Green) whom assaulted him with a beverage. Hoards of Whites abandoned Detroit for bleached suburbs like Auburn Hills precisely to escape niggers like Artest. If many Whites thought of (think of) Richard Sherman as a thug for raising his voice in the presence of a White Woman, one can imagine the impact of cornrowed black males slugging ticket-buying Whites. White flight from the NBA was widespread and bruising league purses. As White Supremacists have no intention of going out of business, they refine practices to achieve more favorable results, more White derrières in seats.


In 2005, retired Hall of Famer Charles Barkley succinctly summarized his view of the mandated wardrobe policy: "Of course it's Racist." Before anyone thinks of Barkley as the 21st century resurrection of Arthur Ashe, this is the same person who affirmed the acquittal of Trayvon Martin's murderer. Barkley elaborated on the logic buttressing the NBA garment regulations: "From the NBA perspective, they've got a product to sell. They've got to make it as attractive as possible to fans, viewers and corporate sponsors." That's White fans, White viewers and White corporate sponsors. Meaning Whites will package and adorn negro athletes in anyway they see fit to assuage Racist White consumers. Including putting Sir Charles in a dress... repeatedly.


2005 also marked the end of black athletes joining the NBA directly from high school. Barkley, Magic Johnson and a host of Whites professed that this was in everyone's best interest. Players would get time to mature and polish their skills at the collegiate level and the league would get older, better prepared (seasoned) products. These trite affirmations ignored that it was exclusively black players leaping from prom to the pros. They also didn't mention that few have expressed concern for Jennifer Capriati and other Whites as young as thirteen who've traveled the world playing White-dominated professional sports. NBA stars Tony Parker and Ricky Rubio began playing professional basketball in their respective countries (France, Spain) at 17. And these United States have no problem extending the ballot box or training you as a killer in any branch of the armed services at eighteen years of age. Only a bastion of hypocrisy would permit an 18-year-old to star in pornography but deny him NBA employment. Many of the league's best players of the last decade matriculated directly from high school. Kobe Bryant. Kevin Garnett. Dwight Howard. LeBron James. The NCAA plantation missed the chance to pimp these black athletes, and many Whites were less than enthused with the prospect of black males nabbing million dollar contracts before the ink dried on their high school diplomas. In many White circles, James (black people in general) remains unforgiven.


Bruce Levenson, Adam Silver and White NBA executives in total have a substantially higher percentage of black players than any other professional sports league. In a global System of White Supremacy, marketing a predominantly black league to White audiences demands an obsession with optics - the projection of blackness. Part of the fallout from the 2004 "malice in the Palace" was three consecutive years of White league MVP's (Steve Nash 2005, 2006; Dirk Nowitzki 2007). Forget those dark savages! Focus on these masterful White Tarzans, overseers of the hard court jungle, plantation. From Serena Williams to President Obama, Whites have been reluctant if not repulsed with the prospect of cheering on a black person in any capacity - much less rooting alongside a mostly black congregation. It's a gargantuan fraud for any Whites to take umbrage with what Levenson admits to writing. If his email warrants punitive action, thousands of other Whitefolks should be updating their resumes and submitting a notice of resignation - including Danny Ferry. 

Most of the players resented Jerry [Krause] for one reason or another. It started with Michael [Jordan]. During his second year with the Bulls, Michael broke his left foot and had to sit out most of the season recovering from the injury. At a certain point, Michael insisted that his foot was fully healed, but Jerry refused to let him play until the doctors gave him the final okay. When Michael pushed back, Jerry told him that management had made the decision because he was their property, an unfortunate gaffe that alienated Michael and tainted his relationship with Krause from that day forward.

Which brings us back to (Racist Suspect) Mark Cuban's "slippery slope." When additional evidence of Donald Sterling's White Supremacist legacy was revealed during the 2014 playoffs, Cuban opposed Sterling being forced to sell his property. He found it un-American to persecute someone for repugnant, "backstage" comments. Tommy LaSorta, NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton and other Whites castigated V. Stiviano for reminding the public of Sterling's Racism. Bill Maher railed against "political correctness" and alleged breaches of privacy that ensnared role models and all around swell folks like Sterling, Paula Deen and Paul Ryan.

There's a reason the likes of George Zimmerman, Darren Wilson and Suspected Rapist Daniel Holtzclaw aren't merely supported with White lip service. These killers and alleged molesters are upgraded to new tax brackets with obese donations from numerous members of the White Supremacist Army. Donald Sterling got a lifetime ban and $2 billion for the sale of the Clippers. (A few dozen folks have speculated that Levenson wanted to divest in the Hawks, and self-identifying as a Racist was his means of departure. Lump me in with the likes Donald Sterling, just make sure we're in the same tax bracket.) Racism is the cash cow. Whites make certain that other White people being penalized for terrorizing black people is as common as a black occupant of the White House.


And that splash of melanin at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue still has many Whites disgruntled - even beyond the grave. To the point that Michael Savage, Cliven Bundy and Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks believe there's a war against Whites. Darkies like Attorney General Eric Holder are orchestrating a lynching of well meaning Whitefolks such as Officer Wilson. More than 100 - mostly White - Seattle "Police" Officers have named Holder among others as defendants in a lawsuit opposing federally mandated reforms to address allegations of Racism and police misconduct.


Levenson's dismissal will likely bolster the persecution complex of melanin deficient Whites who fear their country, way of life and freedoms to hail the Redskins and swap nigger jokes are being curtailed. The deterioration has reached new lows where a blond White Woman can't call a black person a "Faggot Ass Nigger" without fear of being recorded and reprimanded. Where will it end?


Samuel Sommers, PhD recently documented that a significant number of Whites now believe they are victims of Racism. Growing numbers of black people obtaining correct information on and accurately articulating what Racism is and how it works, is a monumental threat to Whites; some Whites have already stated that opposition to Racism equals opposition to Whites.  Increasing numbers of non-white people are utilizing ever-evolving technology to document Whitefolks trifling, terroristic targeting of black people. Cellphones are now integral weapons in spotlighting Racism. Email and text messages are proving increasingly detrimental to the Racist enterprise - they have a stubborn shelf life and can easily get loose on the web. Levenson's discharge will likely amplify White unease - a defensive anxiety that the slightest verbal faux pas will wound the childish sensibilities of black people and cost a hard working White Soldier like Jimmy The Greek or Marge Schott their livelihood. And we still got two more years of that damn Obama.


The Levenson saga is only a couple days old and largely unsettled. In fact, it seems Levenson's former colleague and Hawks' General Manager Danny Ferry will also be under scrutiny. He has admitted to reading the following remarks about African born player, Loul Deng:

Deng "has a little African in him. Not in a bad way, but he's like a guy who would have a nice store out front but sell you counterfeit stuff out of the back."
A White Duke graduate being reprimanded for deprecating an African (who happens to be a fellow Blue Devil alumnus)... what is the world coming to?

Expecting anything other than eternal deception, hostility, warfare, and terrorism from Whites is like betting on a Hawks' championship parade down Peachtree. You're destined for years of disappointment.
