I'm really interested in knowing which all African American organizations you are referring to?

Check out Bing/google...there are plenty of black sports groups. Bowling, tennis, golf, etc. They are all there. They don't all have to be national.
Also, for pretty much any major organization you can think of, there is an African American version of it. For example, ran across the African American Golf Digest. Could you imagine what people would be saying if someone wanted to start printing the Caucasian American Golf Digest? Or if some golf company bragged about being "white owned and operated"? Seems like a double standard to me.
My point is this. Many of these African American organizations exist to further participation/involvement of African Americans in their respective sport/activity, so why would white people doing the same thing be any different? Why would it be racist? Would they not be doing the same thing? Seeing as over 70-80% of the NBA is comprised of African Americans, I don't see how you can argue the basketball case.
Just looking at it from another point of view. Once again, I couldn't care less about this dumb league, but white people trying to advance themselves in areas where they are the minority should not be viewed as racist, IMO. It sure isn't for anyone else.
