What he posted is exactly right, and if you were actually privy to the facts, you would know this.

You are right. It is definitely not an argument.
It is, however, just an after effect of your supposed argument. Thanks again.
If kids don't have fathers, basketball coaches are a pretty good substitute. And for the rest, tune in to Hockey Night in Canada some time and get the never ending pitch about hockey and sports generally being a school for life skills. What do you think is better for a kid? Sitting around all day or getting out, developing his / her self-confidence and self esteem through sports and building relationships and people skills??
And that thread with OJ and Frankfooter, I recollect it being mainly a series of you throwing tantrums and ranting when you couldn't win the argument.
Assuming you're correct - and you're not, viz Sammy Yatim - that doesn't prove that the White cop kill Black guy shootings didn't happen or that they should not be protested. And what you say doesn't begin to disprove the experience of many Blacks that those shootings are just the tip of the iceberg of generally unequal treatment of Blacks by law enforcement and the justice system. Lots of statistics exist to back up those impressions.
If you choose the lesser of two evils you still get evil.
You dont have to exercise your rights all the time.
Voting is not the only way to get change.
Yeah i mean what is the value in learning about discipline, hard work, dealing with adversity, teamwork, sportsmanship, gaining confidence, forming relationships with coaches and teammates
The goal is not to make it to the pros...... the percent chance is just too low.
The players dont want money they want the right to protest
And by the way pick any country..... the people commiting the most crime will be the poorest people
You need to get more creative instead of re-hashing failed "solutions". I've already stated what would work.
As for the thread with OJ and Frankie, refer to the following posts for a summary:

You should try being a little less cliche. There are other ways to instill all the things you mentioned without giving poor black kids basketball courts. Honestly, you and Oagre' suggestions are deeply racist and are indicative of the culture of low expectations you have of black kids. You're just too self-absorbed to see it.

What the hell do you care about "lots of statistics" anyway? You ducked out of the IQ thread when presented with statistics that shake everything you want to believe. Your own sister can back up all the data.
But I also want you to know that your pathetic baby boomer shaming tactics don't work in 2017. By all means keep up the "you're the guy that says group A is genetically inferior to group B" comments if you like. It just makes you sound like an out of touch old man with blinders on.
Give it up. I'd just as quickly recommend after school sports for ALL kids. And to my list of "clichés" you can also add promoting an active lifestyle.
But more importantly..... I never said it was the only thing that should be provided to black kids. Nor did I say that it was the only important thing.
The community centre SHOULD offer more than just sports..... tutoring, counselling, job finding skills, access to health care/information etc. But here's the thing.... kids need motivation to change. So maybe sports and fun activities are what draw them to the community center and feel comfortable enough to try some of the other programs offered. Kids that one day just up and decide to make serious changes in their life are few and far between. Actually the same can be said for adults.
I think you are foolish to think that sports and music is all the community centers offer.
You also say kids need fathers, mentors and entrepenuers..... well through sports they might meet 2 out of the 3. They might meet all 3 as to be able to coach you have to have time/be able to afford to do so. The point I'm making is it has positive effects for some kids, which is why it should stay.
If you have have to resort to calling us racist then I think you've run out of intelligent things to say.
You're just too self absorbed to listen to anyone else. As clearly evidenced by the fact that I never said sports was the be all and end all for black youths. All I was saying was that sports has value. If you read it as anything else, sorry.
Race and iq only matter if we live in a society where there are no other factors.
