That is not all racism. I am simply asking the question why when someone brings a debate to white individuals, and I do recall that is what Lady Ref point was going, and this is what happens in all these dicussions. We were not talking about any other sport other than basketball, and I want someone to explain when we talk about race on any level we "white men" always have to bring up things that do not relate to the topic at hand.

I think Lady Ref's point is a valid one. It did seem like the implication is that the only factor for consideration is our race, and we are not qualified or do not have the skills to officiate what we are given. We are no more qualified or unqualified then other officials I have seen, regardless of race.

Interesting topic...just as Lady Ref's feathers got a little ruffled earlier, the comment in the last post "Why do white people alwys..." ruffled mine...don't make assumptions about people based on their skin color. That's racism...as far as the topic, I have personally been told by a Div. 1 assignor that I would not be picked up because they needed more women - even though that assignor felt I was a better official...that's the way the game is played...like it or leave it...
