Stereotypes

There are a million stereotypes out there, but the one I have seen lately is about black people. Normally when you see a black guy step out on the basketball court you automatically think this guy is probably pretty good. Well what happens when they totally suck?

I go to this park by my work and a few black guys are out there shooting and they are some of the worse basketball players ever. I mean they can't shoot, they can't catch, they just plain stink. Why is that we think all black guys are good at ball? Are other black people ashamed when they see there 'brothers' who suck?

Last week at the gym Jeff and I played against this black dude. He talks all game and he stinks. He is so bad we let him shoot and drive to the bucket because 9 out of 10 times the rim will block his shot. He looks atheletic. Just the second he starts playing he sucks.

Typical Jeff too. Picks on the crappy black guy in a gym full of asians and starts a little fight with the guy. The guy ends up leaving the gym since he is the lone black dude.

I dunno...I just think it is hilarious to see a black guy who can't play ball. Oh and the ones that suck, always think they are soooo good too.

now..now.. tell the story right, i didn't 'pick' on him. he's the one that started it. besides, the way he was playing he deserved anything i might have said. and him leaving the gym was only a plus.. better runs after that!

oh yeah. i gues i didn't tell the story right.

first jeff disrespected the black guy by calling him a dumbshit.

then the black guy said you can call a foul but don't disrespect me as a man...at which point jeff called him a dumbshit again.

then the black guy looked around and probably realized, 15 asians and 1 black guy. probably not good odds so he left the gym.

jeff definately started it by calling him a dumbshit. thus, jeff is the instigator and play quitter.

again... tell the story right, the guy was hacking me all night. on three separate occasions, the fouls were soo bad that he said that i should call the foul to which i stated that he needs to make the call. by the fourth time, on game point, where he just grabbed me and didn't even attempt to play the ball, he again told me to 'call it' to which i called him a 'dumbshit' because it was HIS call. in my opinion, if you can't figure out that it's your call after me telling you so three times, you are a dumbshit, no matter what color your skin is... even for a black fellow like miles...
