I was thinking of arguing with you, but you airtight logic prevent me from doing so. Fine work.
You people are so boring.

MJ's comment was published. THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. No repercussions. The NBA has decreed that your past CAN BE HELD against you. Rather than actions speak louder than words, now words speak louder than actions.
Situation 1: An 82 year old man has recently been recorded making racist statements. He has an adult history of racist actions.
Situation 2: A middle aged man discusses his views as a child and openly admits they were wrong.
Do you see the difference?
My point is that you have to resort to hypotheticals because there aren't factual examples to support your argument. Presenting hypothetical situations for claiming double standards is a sophomoric approach to having a discussion. Here's how it will inevitably go:
Conservative: "If MJ had said what Sterling did no one would have cared and the media would have swept it under the rug!'
Liberal: "No, it would've garnered a similar reaction!"
Conservative: "Nuh uh!"
Liberal: "Uh huh!"
And so on and so forth because it is all weak a$s supposition with no way to know what the reaction would have been. Bring something credible to the table, homey.
How about this. Michael Jordan the child is not allowed to play in the NBA until he grows up and evolves his issues on race relations?
Is that fair?

1: Elder man, losing his mental faculties, being abused by a harlot. Years ago, paid a large fine for renting to one type pf minority rather than another type of minority. The renting issued NEVER occurred again.
2: A closet racist who knows how to use PR to cover his personal biases. When MJ turns 80 (not 82) he will reveal his true self.

You, AFS, are a genius. Sitting in my dark cubicle, postponing projects with looming deadlines, reading this ugly, inane, trolled-to-high-hell thread, I got my first good laugh of the day when I came to this. Thank you, Sir or Madam.

Yes, like Adam Lanza put an end to the Sandy Hook killing spree. But nobody's calling for him to get a medal of honor.
POD. Excellent.
Black males 6X more likely than white males to go to prison.
Most (all?) cities dominated by blacks are crime-ridden.
Blacks most likely to wear low pants with underwear showing.
India minorities were targeted post 911. Took them only a few years to overcome a deep-seeded prejudice. People even ed at them, seeing them as terrorist driven.
Blacks will ALWAYS be prejudiced against, until they quit being overall bad for society (see first 2 paragraphs).
f*&king racist
