Just Longing for the “Good Ole’ Days”
An Atlanta-area sports promoter has announced plans for—brace yourself—a whites-only pro basketball league. Dubbed the “All-American Basketball Alliance,” the league would only be open to “natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race.” The commissioner, former pro-wrestling promoter Don “Moose” Lewis, says the league will tip off in June, with teams in 12 Southern cities. Lewis insists he’s not racist; he just doesn’t like the “street-ball” that “people of color” play.
Ah, yes. Just a nostalgic return to the fundamental basketball of the good ole’ days — it could be painted by Rockwell himself.
I wonder, at what point will “I’m not racist, I just long for the good ole’ days” cease to be a valid defense?
