[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has to be one of the most racist threads I have ever read on this site, which is saying a lot. [/quote]

It's racist to say that some black communities have strong basketball skills and high expectations and can pass those along to up & coming players??  If that's racist, then yeah - DC area basketball is racist. It might be harder for a white kid to break into a black travel team with a black coach & all black players. So what? That's life. Have you ever looked at a hockey or baseball team?

My white son has frequently played for teams where he's been one only or one of a couple of  white kids.  His experience has never been that it's tougher to break in.  He has never gotten a break that I know of, but no one has ever made it tougher on him.

We were at tryouts last year at a rec center in PG county and realized that we were the only white people in the building.  No one said or did anything that in any way made us uncomfortable. [/quote]
