This goes well with something I heard on the radio yesterday about the Ray Rice issue and the host opined that what Rice did, the gang beating of the Kroger guy, and things like no Fathers in the homes as mentioned in the Hawks owners email are simply cultural to blacks. The problem is one can't mention the obvious differences in the way blacks view or live life without being called a racist.
Martin Luther King spoke about a day when he wouldn't be judged by the color of his skin, but who are we trying to kid? Blacks are simply different in in their mindset than whites and I doubt it will ever change.

Atlanta Hawks controlling owner Bruce Levenson has self-reported to the NBA that he sent a racist e-mail in August 2012 and will sell his interest in the team. Levenson reported the e-mail to the NBA in July, almost two years after it was sent but while the league was deep in litigation over the now-completed sale of the Los Angeles Clippers. The investigation was ongoing when Levenson decided to leave the team. The e-mail, to Hawks President Danny Ferry, details Levenson's belief that the Hawks' fan base was too heavily African-American.

The answer is, it's a business like any other and black people have less money. Not that complicated.

Is it stereotyping when a behavior is factual and constantly repeated or is it cultural?

I think from your post that your are a black man in medical school or doctor? Do you dispute that the average black man is different than the average white?

Not many fathers and sons in the stands. Ouch. Definite dog whistle. That's probably the most incriminating unintentional slam in his email.

It's the elephant in the room that is never addressed by the media out of fear of reprisals.

Are you not paying attention?
Lots of facts are "stereotypes."
They're only allowed in a discussion when the PC police deems them useful.

Well I guess there can be no serious discussion on the issues.

I'm pointing out that "black people like the NBA" is no different than any other "stereotype".

Coming soon from the owner of the 49ers: "Dayum ... why we got all these gays rootin' for us?"
