I think you said 11 or 12.<BR/>I got my first taste much earlier, in pre-school to be exact. And it wasn't just in social settings, but in classroom setting from adults.<BR/>Ball is beautiful, and sometimes it can unify, but most of the time it just highlights the differences. We're talking about competition, and whenever you mix people and competition, ugliness is going to rear its head.Big Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510881583909431416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363077490625848984.post-56294172784591454832009-04-01T10:06:00.000-04:002009-04-01T10:06:00.000-04:00I guess I should crank up part II.

MOSTLY because they suck 95% of the time, but also because they are clique-ish and seem to come into the court thinking they own the place. i hate it when my friends say the chinks are here,asian invasion, and other derogatory shit like thatfirst time visiternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363077490625848984.post-63788923291578378292009-03-24T18:46:00.000-04:002009-03-24T18:46:00.000-04:00Just browsed through, but good shit, Eboy... growi...Just browsed through, but good shit, Eboy... growing up in an area that's predominantly hispanic i cant say i ran into too many of these situations..but i did go to a high school for two years outside of my area where there were many different races and i played ball there. There's nothing like runnin in practice, swatting this kid's shot from the side, only for him to turn around in disgust when he realized it was me, and says, "can't believe i got blocked by a damn mexican"......crazy shit coming from a teammate, especially since the kid was biracial(blk/white).....but at least ballin' itself gets you some respect, white or blacks guys have stopped by at our local court, looking to run things since we're all mexicans, only to realize it's not as easy as it seems, by the end of the day we're all friends. Sometimes it's more of basketball thing than a racial thing, which i guess is still bad, but better than if it was the other way around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363077490625848984.post-34907591518694260832009-03-23T19:40:00.000-04:002009-03-23T19:40:00.000-04:00as a 16 year old black hip hop adict in the south,...as a 16 year old black hip hop adict in the south, where rednecks fly confederate flags and teach their kids 'the south shall rise again' i have waaaay too many stories to fill this place up with.

What's funny and ironic is I went through similar shit as a girl on the courts in my day. Growing up in D.C. in what I guess was "the hood" (and I say "I guess" because in my youth D.C. was 95% black and segregated, so most of the hoods were black. Although there was also a class mix, that got destroyed with integration--go figure. (That could make a great post too, huh?) Anyway, back to my parallel experience: I played ball with the fellas starting around 10 or 11 years old. It was cool for about a year or so, until I began to "develop". After that i was "that dyke" because why would a girl want to play ball with the guys, or I'd be driving for a lay up and get the nipples pinched or my ass squeezed (TMI guys?) and it just stopped being fun. I loved the game but I got sequestered to watching on the sidelines so my sexuality wouldn't be questioned or my body wouldn't be violated.
