America Quote by Jason Johnson

“Why does it matter if the NBA has White Superstars? It shouldn't, but like everything else in America the White man's ice water is colder, and the almost exclusively White NBA team owners, and majority-White male-dominated sports commentariat, believes that the league's Blackness is a turnoff to White fans and their money.”
