What happened to white guys playing in the NBA like the glory days of the 50’s-80’s, players like: Larry Bird,

Kevin McCale, Danny Ainge, Bill Walton, Bob Cousy, Rick Barry, Pete Maravich, etc. Even though black people make up only 12% of the US population, the NBA is 90% black, so, the white players have become the minority and are only around 10% of the League. Are you telling me that there aren’t qualified white players to play in the league? This is like reverse affirmative action, and the whites have become the minority and are being discriminated against for being white. If Affirmative Action programs apply to hiring in Police Departments, Fire Departments, Colleges, Jobs, etc, shouldn’t they apply to sports teams and leagues also? Black people and minorities are always saying that there aren’t enough Black GM’s or Presidents or Owners of teams in the NBA, well if that’s the case, I say, how come there aren’t more white people employed as players in the NBA?
And don’t even try to mention that the NBA has Steve Nash, who is an awesome white player, ok, he’s one guy, and there are a few more, but NOT ENOUGH. Watch an NBA game nowadays, the starting line-ups are all black, 5 on 5, 10 players, usually all black, maybe one or two white guys, and that’s a BIG MAYBE. All I’m saying is that if black people want affirmative action for them, then I want affirmative action for white people who want to participate in jobs which are predominatedly black, like the NBA.
