Some NBA players are arrogant and act like fools. The media can be pretty biased, but guys on the inside see it better than we can. However lots of white fans just lump all black players together, when there is a huge range of different characters. They don't take the time to learn about each player and what he is really like, it's really lazy thinking. There is also a reverse bias where some black players immediately assume people suck if they are white, which is just as stupid as white people assuming blacks aren't smart- a guilty before proven innocent thing.

"from the point i just made in that i can only think of one or two nba players that have actually appeared in a “video clip with rappers and all that crap”" Tony Parker, Ron Artest, Shaquille O'Neal, all amde their own rap records. Tim Duncan appeared in Tony Parker's video. That you can;t think of many isn;t really evidence ;) "Seriously, the only way he can come to this conclusion is because he sees his black teammates listening to rap music and dressing like rappers, and therefore they must try to appear in their videos" Or he knows they want to :) Seems a reasonable comment, if it is what he sees peopel do, or even want to do. “but she pointed out to me that every culture has something stupid that they spend money on”
