latest news is people writing the n word on lebrons house


How do we know who even did this? Moreover, how do we know it even happened? Assuming it did, it was painted over by the time the police arrived to investigate. If you truly want to find out who committed this crime wouldn't you allow the investigators to look at the evidence? Furthermore, in a society that takes pictures/videos of EVERYTHING and immediately uploads it to social media, we still don't have a single photo of the alleged writing? 1-2 days after Tiger Woods is arrested we see video of him stumbling around. People were videoing a shooting at a Manila casino yesterday WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING. Yet, there are zero photos of this particular act?

Assuming it did happen, then it really is a shame regardless of if it was the act of a truly racist person or someone trying to fabricate a racist act. Nonetheless, you keep hearing about racism because that's what the media wants to talk about. They want to convince you that race relations in this country are horrible, yet refuse to acknowledge that the USA is the MOST diverse and LEAST racist country on planet earth. Then again, crying racism is a good way to strong arm people into doing things you want.

Yes, but I really don't see what that has to do with anything.

You wrote a lot of nonsense to say it can't be confirmed that it was a racist person


But I think it's pretty obvious it was racist

Or, as many of these false reports come out, the perp was black. "But it got people talking on the issue so it's okay"

Short answer? To give people a talking point to either agree or disagree with. The news isn't there to inform you, it's there to sell ads. It has got to the point where it is actually considered news when one pundit disagrees with another pundit.

Hold on, because it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Why would I change? I got white privilege on my side and all?

In all seriousness, I would love to hear what you think is actual racism in today's society.

Dude, who cares? Stop letting that crap bother you. You should be alot tougher than that. I am starting to get tired of black people talking about racism so much and white people denying it. New flash, people aren't always going to like you. Rather it be from the color of your skin or for some other reason, they just won't like you. Unless they are impacting your life negatively in the ways of stopping you from advancing your career or placing you in the criminal justice system, it really isn't that big of deal. I don't care if anyone doesn't like me because I'm black, as long as they don't try to harm or my family we are cool. Let them do their thing and I will do mine and co-exist in peace. The vast majority of the racists are cowards anyways, especially the internet trolls

My first few posts were about:
1. Skip and Shannon being awful.
2. Their show is not on ESPN.
3. ESPN is not going under

Am I David Duke?

The goal used to be that people would not see color regardless of either party.

The new goal has changed and race relations are continuing to get worse, one statue at a time.

You live near ground zero for this asinine nonsense. Social justice, cultural appropriation, white privilege, institutional racism, etc...

Meaningless soft science bullshite.

So people in the south are not racist?


Why give media the fuel?


Wat? Was that supposed to be a coherent response?

Of course there are racists in the south. Black ones, white ones, brown ones, yellow ones, etc...

There is plenty of the "classic" racism in this country that it boggles the mind why we need to create extra classification of it with the nonsense I mentioned.

MOST of the media's supposed racism isn't. It's hype meant to grab attention.

There will always be extreme elements in any population. How about all of us non racists just ignore the tiny portion that does this crap? How about not giving it the time of day instead of framing some false narrative that there are large scale racial problems?

Constantly using a small fragment of the population's extremist views and actions to paint everyone in a broad brush as "racist" is giving the racists a bigger platform than they could ever achieve on their own

What Monty said..

Also the media are like a bunch of women, non stop gossip. They have to have an issue at hand. I can't imagine being that miserable. Just turn the channel.

And don't let the media coerce u into getting mad at a black man because of what they said. They love to generate chaos. Which leads to another "discussion ".
