Bad Deeds for 1/20/2010

 

Whites-Only Basketball League: All-American Basketball Alliance Bans Blacks, Foreigners – A whites-only basketball league aims to launch in twelve cities this summer, according to a report in the Augusta Chronicle. The All-American Basketball Alliance would also ban players born outside the United States.

The league’s commissioner, Don “Moose” Lewis, claims that he doesn’t “hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now.” Thus, he says, the All-American Basketball Alliance would be “a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like.”

The report includes additional shocking quotes from the commissioner:

Lewis said he wants to emphasize fundamental basketball instead of “street-ball” played by “people of color.” …

“Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?” he said.

(Yea, that just can’t happen with a white Americans only policy, ya think? – JLV)

 

Pastor Calls for a Boycott of Houston – A new Web site is urging people to “Boycott Houston.” Why? Because the site’s owner thinks the city is becoming “a Texas version of San Francisco” and “the abortion capital of America.” Translation: David Grisham of Amarillo doesn’t like Houston electing a gay mayor or Planned Parenthood’s plans to open a big facility here.

Grisham is also behind repentamarillo.com, which calls on Christians to enter spiritual warfare to save Amarillo’s soul. (Spiritual warfare, you know, like Jihad, but whiter. – JLV)

 

Exxon Valdez Oil Still Trapped on Beaches – Oil remains trapped along miles of gravel beaches more than 20 years after the Exxon Valdez tanker disaster in Prince William Sound. An estimated 20,000 gallons of crude remain in Prince William Sound, even though oil remaining after the nearly 11-million-gallon spill had been expected to biodegrade and wash away within a few years.

Boufadel said the study points out the susceptibility of beaches worldwide to long-term oil contamination, especially at higher latitudes where beaches tend to be gravel or a mixture of sand and gravel.

“As global warming is melting the ice cover and exposing the Arctic to oil exploitation and shipping through sea routes such as the Northwest Passage, the risk of oil spills on gravel beaches in high-latitude regions will be increased,” the study says.

 

2000s are the Warmest Decade on Record – Contrary to what you may have heard from conservative propaganda sources, the 2000-2009 decade was the warmest on record, easily surpassing the previous hottest decade — the 1990s — researchers said Tuesday in a report providing fresh evidence that the planet may be warming at a potentially disastrous rate.
