People actually think Carlton is a chance to make the finals

I wouldn't particularly call the AMA a left wing radical Union.

Shoosh Phantom. Next I suppose you'll point out Rudd isn't a millionarie, his wife is and Eminem isn't the best rapper anymore.

Carlton WILL make the finals.
Money, high draft picks, returning injured players and a 1 in 2 chance of finishing top 8.
I'm not happy about it, but it looks very possible. |

Why is the world crazy when an Afro-American is the worlds best golfer?
Is it a rule the worlds best golfer has to be a White Anglo or something?
In the same vein, is rap only open to Afro-Americans. Bit like saying Clapton knows nothing about the blues because he's white.
Weird stuff

They're talking stereotypes Frankie 
Golf is stereotypically played by white guys in funny pants
Rap is a stereotypically black phenomenon and many white guys just can't do it right (like Kevin Federline...)
Chinese are typically short... not good basketballing material etc |

Yeah well,
There's some conjecture whether it was Chris Rock or Charles Barkley,(both african americans BTW) who originally coined that quote.

What are you suggesting about them?

Wasn't that long ago that Afro-Americans could not even get onto a golf course. |
