re: First time in NBA history there will be no white players participating in ASG

Well obviously it's because no white players merited being selected to the ASG. How dare you even think to compare this the the blatant racism by the Academy Awards selection committee! Clearly the fact that zero black actors where nominated was completely based upon the bias of a certain skin color rather than the merit of performance (unlike the NBA ASG selections). There is simply just no other explanation! Don't try to tell me that Will Smith's lack of a nomination was a result of anything BUT racial prejudice. I mean sure he's been nominated twice before, but that was pre-Obama, Michael Brown, etc. when the veil still remained closed to the MASSIVE racial injustices that black folks are subjected to all day, every day in this country.
