But guys, before you get angry or anything, he wants to assure you this isn’t about being racist. It’s just about not wanting to interact with people who aren’t white. What could possibly be racist about that? Besides EVERYTHING, obviously. Fine, world, if this is what you want to throw at me today, then let’s do it. I’m ready to throw down. Hit it, super-racist league creator Don “Moose” Lewis:
There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing… I don’t hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here’s a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like.
I would love to see what his definition of “not sexist” and “not homophobic” is. “I just want women not to have the right to vote. You know, men just like to do traditional voting, without women around.” “All I’m trying to do is punch gay people repeatedly in the face. It’s not about hating gays, it’s about community building with my straight peers.”
Holy God, “Moose”: if you’re going to make up some sort of fact to explain why your blindingly racist idea isn’t racist, at least make it obscure enough that you can’t be proven wrong with literally five second of Wikipedia searching.
Lewis has approached twelve cities to become part of the league, but, shock of shocks, lots of people have told him to keep the hell out. Feel free to read the whole article. And here’s a fun game to play while you do so: see how long you can go before you stab yourself! I made it about a third of the way through before I stuck a pencil in my thigh, but got just about to the end before I had to bring out Angry Betsy, my hunting knife.
