McCain NO Longer a Maverick

Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

I've walked the mean streets of Toronto a handful of times Nik and sorry I don't see many black faces. OTH 39% of Chicagoans are black. More blacks live within a several mile radius of me than live in all of Canada and Australia combined. American's follow team sports with leagues that range from 55% to 90% black. Your national sport has a league with quite a few American teams participating. The NHL doesn't have a single black player. I think only 3 or 4 in it's history.

The NHL doesn't have a single black player.? Someday Pabst, you won't just make your ideas up based on facts you've made up, and you'll discover the miracle of Google. And then you'll make more money because you're grounded in facts. Until then...

Ok my bad. Since America doesn't even know hockey existsI couldn't find data and I stupidly relied on what I thought was correct. Wasn't there a player on the Capitals a few years back who was the only black in the NHL?

Is ten correct now? Jeez, Georges Laraque?Trevor Daley? These are like the singer from Hootie and the Blowfish type black guy's right?

Btw, Leaf's won a Cup in your lifetime?

Quote from traderNik:

I see. So you're genuine Nazi-racist creed inspires more admiration from the 30 guys viewing this than my (what, faked?) Anti-Nazi anti-racist creed?

You know, I can take hearing you say that you hate black people, that you hate Jews, that Hitler was a personal hero and that you figure he got a bad rap, and all the rest of it. I know there are people like you out there, I just don't get a chance to talk to them very often (never, before the internet).

But now you're trying to school me about hockey?

You just stuck your foot in your mouth in a big way. I wish I could tell you how big-time you just stepped in it

: )

Seriously Pabst... I will turn your claim in the first sentence of the post above around on you. I actually have more respect for spect8or, in the sense that he doesn't feel the need to sort of half-ass pretend that he isn't what he is, then once in while blow up and deliver himself of an unadulterated hate-filled post which names racial/ethnic groups that he hates. That's what really bugs me about you - it's not your absurd prejudices and pseudo-professional historian rants. It's the fact that you seem to want people to treat you like you're a saint. (IQ of 141, right? I strongly suggest you don't bring that one up again. Seriously).

So I've lived in this town for 25 years but you know more about it (and hockey) than I do?

And so on.....

I'm intrigued that he lives within several miles of 783,795 blacks.

(783,795 is the population of Canadians who identify themselves as black. Again, Google.)

I'd already found that list but I don't think all those guys are current.

Exactly. But ask yourself "Why did I feel it necessary to do that?"

And gain insight.

Sure. 1.1 million Blacks just in the city of Chicago. Not even counting the suburbs.....

Dave ironically we're BOTH off by the same hi/lo. I said zero your list has 20 and I'm pretty sure the correct number is 10.

What's unconscionable is i didn't know Grant Fuhr was black! At least I've heard of him.

And you live within several miles of three quarters of them.

And Chicago covers 228 square miles, so, not likely.

Gain the insight I was referring to and it'll help your trading.

Night!

Once again, incorrect. Every player on that list is current, as in on an active NHL roster.

You didn't know Grant Fuhr was black? Does he look Japanese?

You've at least heard of him, that's great. He only backstopped one of the greatest teams in history to 4 championships . A team which included Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier among other hall of famers, have you heard of them? If not, that's fine. Just don't act like an authority on stuff you have little knowledge of.

Bull. less than half the players on that list are on an NHL roster and a half dozen are yet to even play in the NHL.
