Doesn't Harden play with OKC? I'm pretty sure OKC's starting 5 are Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Ibaka, and Perkins. Also, Scott Brooks still coaches them, right?

Wouldn't it have been fun to watch Westbrook, Harden, Durant, George and 'Melo all fighting over 1 ball?

It would have been worse than watching "poor" people fight over who got their free Obama phone first. (Had to stay on topic.)

They could fight over as many balls as they want. That's still one loaded team.

People are living longer and it has been borrowed from too many times.

Finally somebody hitting on the root of the problem. The system isn't broken, just the people running the system. Make borrowing and otherwise not meeting financial obligations illegal/impossible. Same sheit happened with the PA Pension Funds: everyone thinks the system s*cks and needs replaced, when in fact the only problem with the system is that the PA Government didn't contribute it's share for like 8 years in a row back when investment growth was good. Every politician wants to spend the $ now, to make themselves look good, and doesn't give a damn about what happens in the future.

hey, we agree on something other than James Harden is an overrated flopper who needs to change his game to win a title.

Harden is hardly the problem for Houston.

against the Warriors it is. ISOball aint going to beat them. if he cant get others involved in the flow of the game they will continue to rack up shot clock violations and be ineffective on offense. The Warriors invited it all night.

cccp said "#1) You know zippo about finance so your opinion is irrelevant."

well, dude, you know nothing about being black so your opinion on what its like to be black is irrelevant.

I have never had an opinion what it is like to be black. I actually said I have never walked in their shoes so I cannot opine. Do you only read posts to criticize me? What I did say was that my parents came here with nothing and did not speak the language and still made a life for themselves. No excuses. I also said that I have been discriminated against because of my cultural heritage of being a Jew. I never let any of that stand in my way.

I NEVER once opined on being black. I actually said everyone should be treated equally regardless of race, color or gender.

What the hell is wrong with you, wylie?

nothing is wrong with me. I think you have said that blacks do not face any disadvantages compared to white people. How the hell would you know, never having been black?

He is my client not really a friend although we are friendly. He is Italian American.

Thats right, we don't play sports but we do own sports teams. :)

Haha. Very true and you guys all seem to be Red Sox fans. You guys must sympathize with their history or something.

I am Jewish and I would kiss cccp's *** before I would root for the Red Sox. ...well, maybe not cccp's ***, but someone's ***.

F U Taint. I now see why the universe did not allow you to reproduce. You are an A Hole. What I said was to take every case on its own merit and not broad brush everything. In reality I told Tangidiot that he is not preaching white privilege but instead is preaching black disadvantage and that he has no idea what he is talking about.

What would taking things individually look like?

I'm going to speak for CCCP. It would be where you judge each individual based on their own accomplishments. Instead of saying that guy is poor because he is black, which whether you realize it or not is what you do, you start to look at his qualifications and achievements? Do he have a HS diploma? Does he have a college degree? Does he spend his money wisely? Was he the most qualified candidate for the job that he was turned down for? Race should never even be considered.

What do you think it would look like? Answer your own question.

You work with the poor. Give me a specific example of why that person is poor and lets discuss and dissect that case. If you take each case on its own merit I think even you will see that it has nothing to do with race most of the time. And another point is that the Holocaust still does impact me. My family lost all their wealth and I lost multiple future cousins/relatives. My parents had to move and learn a new language and culture. I did not get any help from generational wealth. Is that institutional racism or just life?

I think it's quite offensive that people on here keep dismissing the impact that incidents such as the holocaust had on Jews.

I agree that that should be the way it is, but it simply isn't in this world right now. And I am not saying that race is the only factor. So how do we get to your proposed world?
