Is Minnesota Racist?

Shocking that this thread made it to "Fouled Out."

It is possible that the Timberwolves owner is more of a racist than most members of his team's fan base.

How could most residents of other states know if that's the case?

 

[MISKO]

Yes.

ha who woulda thunk it

 

[RoboticDreams]

I honestly can't believe that anyone is even entertaining this stupidity. The guy was successful enough to allow himself the funds to purchase an NBA team, but then immediately loses his business savvy? He's in this to make money, no?

 

[broncosmitty]

I seriously doubt it and I believe it has more to do with the geographic area. Most of the african americans I know tend to settle in larger states and cities then where the Timberwolves are located and dislike smaller towns. Besides that they did have Kevin Garnet on their roster for years

Most of the African Americans I know, know me. The ones you know moved to large cities before they disliked smaller towns?

The same can be said of fans, but please bring up the token black guy who left them and won a ring else where...

You are being sarcastic but I start my lunatic threads in fouled out rather than see if they survive in the actual forum.

so now I shouldnt root for a white guy cause im white ?

Yea, pretty much that is exactly what I said :rollseyes: Root for whoever you want but basing your rooting interests on skin color, race, or religion is an action based off of poor moral fiber.

Most of the African Americans I know, know me.

So most of the people you know also know you as well? Stalker level: not most of

ha who woulda thunk it

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic because of your poorly executed attempts to twist my words.

I suppose we should define small towns, but I have a lot friends that came from savannah, Ga. Minnesota like Cleveland, Oh are hole in the walls - freezing temperatures, very little to do when the snow is on the ground - only insane people would live there. Just my opinion - but more oportunities exist in larger towns in the terms of better paying jobs, education and etc.

Oh so black people are too smart for Minnesota eh?

Watch the "First 48." I think that assertion will be disproved.

So all/most of the smart blacks have left the Upper Midwest already? (You consider Minneapolis and Cleveland small?). You've never been to these cities, have you?

They are small for me, I live near Los Angeles, Ca -

The OP is an idiot. Look at the rest of the roster. It consists of 7 white guys(quite a few of which are Euro) 7 black guys an a Puerto Rican. Sounds racist to me smdh. As far as size goes the Twin Cities metro area has a population of around 3 million people.

 

[Wazmankg]

Hard to believe the fans would rather see a bunch of white guys lose than black guys win.

Only ones who wear white hoods would.
This is 2014.
Who still cares what color somebody's skin is?

So you think LA is a place where black populations should be catered to more than cold cities? Cold cities like say Detroit, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago or even Baltimore or Savannah, like you mentioned earlier?

California is a sewer filled with turds. Why anyone would live in that dump of a state is beyond me. Those people must like being a nobody in a state full of blank stares and moral decay.

Minnesota is kind of peaceful. I've enjoyed my fishing trips to several of their many many lakes.

 

[Jims_Doors]

I usually associate NBA white boys with Utah and Indy. I associate Minny with NBA shittyness not racism. Could be something worth readressing though.

Pacers?

Of the top of my head I can only think of Rik Smits (starter), Fred Hoiberg (off the bench) and Troy Murphy (starter, but after Rik and Fred were long gone) that played for Indy. Scola brought in this year but he's a bench player.

Not saying there isn't any more, but they were never white dominant with their starting lineups that I can remember.

I wish more people shared your view. Then they might stay the hell away. There's too damn many people here.

I don't mean all Californians. But most of them.

my views are more aimed at the dumbshits that think Social Programs are the same thing as Socialism.

Doesn't really matter - there are some white players in the league and just because they don't have a black players doesn't make them racist anyway. Calling Minnesota out for having white employees by itself is racist when you think about it. Some of you have to much time on your hand - quit drinking those budwisers when you can have a Corona
