Who needs basketball?

Why is it that those in power think that playing basketball is just what black and brown people need? Why? Because it is easier to build a basketball court then provide quality education, access to jobs, and a safe environment free of gangs, drugs, and homicidal cops.

Munira Abukar, community organizer in one of Toronto's ghettos says basketball serves a greater purpose than pure leisure. “There’s actually a real psychological, emotional, spiritual and physical benefit of playing basketball together with your friends. It saves a lot of young lives,” she says.

 What self-serving nonsense!
