NBA Dress Code Racially Motivated?

On October 17th, the NBA released a dress code policy effective with the start of the regular season. Stephen Jackson of the Indiana Pacers states the move is racially motivated because the new rule about jewelry targets young black males claiming chains are associated with hip-hop culture. Boston Celtics' Paul Pierce adds, ``When I saw the part about chains, hip hop and throwback jerseys, I think that's part of our culture...The NBA is young black males.''
But I'm not sure where anywhere on the Code it states NO HIP HOP CLOTHES ALLOWED! From what I've read, it states "business casual attire" meaning slacks or khakis, button down shirt or sweater and dress shoes. So, no jerseys from another team, no sunglasses indoors (I mean really whats the point in that anyway?). It also means no cutoff shirts or shorts for anybody. Even if you arent "black" or "HipHop" you still cant wear it. And even though african americans make up "95%" of the NBA, there are other people that wear jewelry, jerseys etc.
Of course the NBA is not going to blatently come out and say "We just dont want black people to wear hip hop attire!" But they are not singling anyone out by any means. Im "rock" and I'd love to wear a cut off shirt, torn jeans with no shoes to work, but I can't. I work for a company who has a business casual dress policy. I am representing them when I am at work and I believe they could care less how I dress on the weekends or holiday. Is it fun dressing in khakis with dress shoes everyday? Not to me, and Im making pocket change when it comes to the millionaires this is affecting. So what if you cant wear your stuff? Unless you live on the court, this shouldnt matter to you. Just be glad youre one of the most talented people in the WORLD, playing a sport you've loved your whole life. Are you really not going to play anymore because youre an unprofessional Professional. Suck it up. As hard as you look with those ten pound spinning gold chains, why cry when something does not go your way?
So, instead of playing the race card look at it from the broad perspective that it is affecting the whole. Ignorance and selfishness isnt going to make this go away. It is only making it worse. Why would you want to work in a "racist" organization anyway?

must..write..something...

nothing new on this end, guess ill just post some of my stuff...enjoy

Most of what is written below are songs that Ive done with my brother Jared, some are going to be.

Remnants of a skeleton
Youre bleeding from the head again
Pulling us under
Like a brick falls through water
Post atomic revolution
The bomb’s been dropped
Where are you running?
Its time to pay
For others mistakes
Or rather for the sake of being right
A million dying in a single night
No need for reasoning
There will be no need for discussion
After all is said and done
And who will be the one laughing then?
Remnants of a skeleton
Reduced to what’s not been taken yet
A shadow left scrawled
On a horizontal wall
Reaching for a child’s hand
Whose ashes disappear in the wind
Like a brick falls through water
You’re pulling us under
Bleeding from the head again
Remnants of a skeleton
----------------------------

Self doubt is setting in
Halting evolution
Taking my heart away
Blinding my soul
Feels like im living a joke
To want to live a dream
But watch it slip away
All because I have no confidence
I wish it was instilled in me when I was younger
Cause now it haunts me
No wait it holds me back
I just wish I could be better
I sometimes wish I was someone else
----------------------------

Providence

Some are here for reasons many of us
Just cant understand, sometimes its better
Just to carry on
Let things slide, walk away
Save your energy, and strengthen your soul
Ride the wave
Until it breaks shore and never question why
Yours hit first
Theres no supreme being at work
No divine intervention
Even stars are destined to fall
Theres something more look inside your self
----------------------------
Once Bitten

Questions left unanswered slowly take their toll
Why am I to believe in something so empty and so cold
I took the time to understand, and give the benefit of the doubt
Only to feel the knife pierce my back the moment I turn around
Im tired of feeling guilty, want to push this pain away
Or let someone else taste the blood, trickling down your blade

What is wrong with the world, when youre expected to conform
Instead of living the way you want, interpreted as unpure
You cant require everyone to think the same as you
Cause ignorance is bliss, but that only applies to fools

It seems to me heaven has some cleaning to do
Before it welcomes you
------------------------
Comatose

This place is rotting from the inside out
The toxic stench is growing worse
And choking with nowhere to run
I must stand and fight, if only on deaf ears
It feels like everyone is asleep
In some sort of deep coma totally aware
And uneager to wake up
So why am I to help you
If you cant even help yourself
Comatose
I feel I’m all alone
In this place and in my thoughts
Still struggling to find a way out
At this moment I am spent
Feels like I cant go on
It feels like I just fell into
Some sort of deep coma totally aware
And uneager to wake up
So how am I to help you
If I cant even help myself
Im comatose
Leave them to wither and die
Just like they left me
