Go Lay Down's Bloghttp://open.salon.com/user.php?uid=75588Fri, 1 Jun 2012 15:06:09 -0400 <h2>&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2> <p>Just as I thought America could not possibly get any worse, I found this article that I posted below. As I read this article I had to take a second and third sip of my coffee to make sure that I had not been drugged. To my dismay, I checked my pupils and I was not hallucinating. Where do I begin to state how repulsive this idea is to me. First of all, ok, so they want to make an all white basketball team. This will be made up of "white people who were born in the US only. This strikes me as very strange that they did not mention dark colored AMERICAN INDIANS in their insane proposal. I feel that if they are going to try to start a league with ALL Americans only, it behooves them to not mention American Indians. I would like to see the organizer explain to an African American child that the reason why he or she can not play in their league is because of the color of their skin. This whole concept repulses me to the point of vomitting. If this is where this country is headed, I am definately ready to resign my citizenship as an American and find a more free culture to reside in, I was thinking maybe North Korea or possibly Iran.
