NBA Dress Code RACIST?
Personally, I think it is.
The "Head Honchos" in The NBA want to rein in the younger, Black players to dress more "business-like." I can see what they're trying to do, but it really "rubs me the wrong way" when people try to DICTATE what they can wear and what they can say or how they act.
Bling-bling, baby!!
Here's a link to the story:

With the money that the players make, why do people care anyway?
Besides, it was targeted at people like "Allen I" anyway...
Ain't that right, bruh?
I guess it's time for that suit and tie...

is it racist? yes or no. i would say no. it is primarily the result of bad behavior on the part of many NBA players, but there are racial overtones. there is a pretty good discussion about it here:
