how do racist people enjoy pro sports if most athletes are of color?

this reminds me of the guy i saw at the mall with a white power tattoo on his arm, but wearing a kobe bryant jersey disbelief

so how do you cheer for your team if you think the members are inferior to you?
i guess it's like that scene from do the right thing when they were saying that prince and eddie murphy aren't n****rs.--they're different.

smile Funny question.

I'd imagine it's not much different than cheering on a dog fight.

lawd ha'mercy lol

you know racists ain't the brightest people on the planet, so I don't think they justify all that. I guess they figure darker skinned people are just more athletic and not intelligent and that is their reasoning....

I would say that many people that seem racist are not of the belief that all people of a different color are naturally inferior. They may just dislike a large number of people from that group.

I grew up in a very white town with a lot of prejudice people. The people in that down do not dislike all black people. Athletes such as Donovan McNabb, Jerome Bettis, Kevin Garnett, Dekek Jeter, Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan are all very well liked. However, bring up TO or Ron Artest and then duck out of the way.

I am not excusing this behavior, just trying to explain it
