I disagree. He stated that there wasn't a big enough fan base among blacks to support the team completely by themselves. He wanted both black and white, and expressed his frustration that that probably wasn't a business option in Atlanta, which seems to me to be less racist than wanting to have a team of predominantly black fans.
Switch 'black' and 'white' in his email, and tell me it still sounds racist.
