If Jermaine O'Neal had gone to college he would know how stupid his statement was.
This is not to say that there are not racists in the NBA. But the NBA itself is not racist.
I defy anyone to make a case for racism against blacks in an institution where the employees are 80% black, even though the population of the United States is 13% black.
Jermaine O'Neal needs to get a real job and see what it takes for the average working stiff to make payments on a jalopy and still get the rent paid on time.

Racism is not about numbers. Racism is about systems and standards. You do not have to agree with O'Neal's statements, because what I am talking about has nothing to do with O'Neal or his comments. There are some that listen to the tone of the media and those that come to their own conclusion. If you watch PTI, Michael Wilbon makes some very conclusive comments without consideration of what O'Neal says.
O'Neal has a real job. He has a talent that makes him millions. If I had that talent I would do the same.
