Not that I was ever prone to tirades like this on it but this is one reason that I don't have Facebook, Instagram etc. You can say something stupid on there after you've had a few pops and end up losing your job.

I’ve always heard this forum is a safe harbor for racists. Looking at the percentage of people here who are defending this guy and saying he is not racist, I guess it’s true.


And they don’t even realize they are racist.

Not that I’m saying they act racist or are terrible people.

But then they WILL think you are are wrong and horrible. When in fact they are racist and wrong.

Does that mean he has to sign away his 1st Amendment rights?

1st amendment protects you from being prosecuted by the government for speech. It doesn't guarantee freedom from all consequences. Just ask the Cleveland Browns DB that got cut this morning after he responded to twitter comments criticizing his bad play yesterday by calling them crackers and challenging them to fisticuffs.

Every company that sells franchises puts language in their contracts that allows them to terminate a franchise agreement if the franchisee does something like this that causes a major PR black eye for the company.

This or just be an adult and use it like it was orginally intended to be used. Post actual pictures and connect with old friends. Be an adult and stop using it as your personal Fox News/CNN channel. No one fricking cares.

I can say, from experience, racist posts are not allowed. So, you’re wrong.

Depends on framing. Overtly racist, no. Kind of vaguely insinuating things is pretty well accepted though.

Why would walk ons stand by and take heat for this fricking idiot?


Some people should just STFU and stop speaking and he is one of them. No one depends on this sort of BS to attempt to stay relevant than Gravy. The fact that he got blown out of a race by Barrow, YET still managed to get 25 percent of the vote disturbs me. People actually thought this idiot would better district 15? Any district? Gravy panders to Gavin Long types.

Brandon sewed his fate when he posted this on FB. People live to spotlight this stuff. He puts it on FB...but Gravy and others think this is going to change people's perceptions. Hell, he had the balls to say what many hide that they feel.

What sickens be about Gravy and the like is they just want recognition and extortion money and demand Warren Drake be fired or this person fired. And they never have to hold any accountability at their jobs because they DO NOT WORK. The Rouge Collection and this board and that board and this "charity" are NOT adding any depth to anywhere.

And the fact that black people continue to kill each other at will in BR? If he truly wanted to make changes, he would go after those who have zero respect for life, but demand that other races have nothing but opposite. It is sad. No one should be killing. But Brandon is not out shooting or robbing. He just made a dumbass remark.

I know people that are big time franchisees for major brands and walk a tight rope with a lot of political post.

It’s not that hard to believe.

That’s not a comment on the mods.

The unrepentant racism, islamophobia and anti Semitism on the poly board makes this thread seem tame.

Thanks, you were right, we were all racist and shite.

You’ve made us all see the horrible error of our ways.

Now go somewhere else and miraculously heal them now.
