Whatever what? That I didn't run into tons of people who felt the need to drop the N Bomb every time they felt the need to go off on JJ? Sorry...it's what happened. Surely you're not going to tell me you never heard people hollering racial slurs at the kid from Tiger Stadium?

I will admit that the Wednesday night folllowing Shady's Hannegriff show was an eye-opener for me. There seemed to be a definite split in the opinions based on the ethnicity of the callers (as best as I could tell from their voice).
I get no joy in pointing it out...but I'm born and raised in the South. To pretend that race does not play a part in these stories doesn't benefit anyone. I have no way of knowing what percentage of people who bash these kids are doing so largely because of race...but you can see it in this thread. Some of it isn't even that subtle. I'd never say that's the only reason...because that would not be true.

FWIW, I never trusted the other guy's story in the Shady's fight.

didn't that fine, upstanding American war hero get hit by a car while stumbling drunk down the road a couple of weeks later?

Yup. There's no way in hell Les Miles would have treated JJ the way he did if JJ were white, and that's the damn truth. You have to be totally blind to reality not to see this.

So despite the fact that Rohan Davey and Herb Tyler are two of the most beloved qb's in LSU history and many LSU fans wanted Rohan ahead of Booty, if you dont support Jordan and Ricky your a racist? No chance actually watching JJ butcher the qb position and tell us often how well he was playing has anything to do with the amount of LSU fans who dont like him?????????
