[Rockman]

This reverse racism thingy isn't that simple, fact is it is the status quo that is being challenged or maintained.

[Rockman]

True, well it has all been white stars too.

[Peter R]

of course... so far it's been all "white history" so to speak, and black people especially those of us who (man would seh mi not all black racially but politically I have to be) live on this side of the world have very little real appreciation of black history. It is an attempt to put things right. Ultimately, we shouldn't need it... hopefully.

[Paul Marin]

Should there be a black history month?

Absolutely! But do you think there should there be a white history month as well? One day, let's just hope there is an "American History" (or pick your culture) month without regard to race. As Bob said: "until the color of a man's skin, is of no more significance than his eyes..." That goes for all people right?

There is a very esteem club in Toronto called the Serbian White Eagles.. Nothing racist about it ! but when they play against Croatia or any of the Yugoslavian breakaway countries it matters culturally.... The name in of intelf is not racist to the general public but culturally to the people who been warring in that home country it has meaning. But I dont see how that to do with your defense of your position... I tell you, you are reaching.. What happen Mo jump ship... x left you in it..

It was just a question OJ. Nothing more.

Well, this article says they are called "The Black Stars" to "specifically to reflect the aspirations of the black race". Would that be okay then, for the Polish team to be named "The White Stars" to "specifically to reflect the aspirations of the white race"?

Kindly don't leave out the starliner and the social times out of the story behind the name. If they were in the same scenario, then it would be quite understandable that they have such a name.

[OJ]

yes and the name dont mean anything to the black people but the Croatian guy it matters.. right!

[Bruce]

I am half Polish (mother's side of the family.) I think "The Polka Boyz" would be more appropriate.

The Polish FA uses a falcon for its logo. www.pzpn.pl

I heard that Samuel L. Jackson supports the team simply because of their nickname!

[Rudi]

I know blacks who have played for both the Serbian White Eagles and Toronto Croatia. When those two teams it is war.

and i am saying it ought not to be if for no other reason than because the black stars was not controversial.

We agree; but let them try it and see the firestorm that would ensue. Yesterday when I dropped my daughter off at soccer practice, (at a local university), I saw a blonde haired white youth (presumably a student) holding hands with a cris black (and I mean fit) young lady. I had to catch myself. Back in the day, me woulda try bowl him out. We have to admit we tend to have a double standard that until lifted, will suppress all of us...still...stay vigilant, but be fair.
