Athens, Ohio



There it is. The centre of racism in America.


I hope you are kidding. Athens is in the middle of the largest National Forest east of the Mississippi river. It's like lily white there, 90% white.

White people are dirt poor down there in the Appalachian mountains. And other than at Ohio University, Joe probably associated with very few of them until college days at LSU being that Athens and the entire county there is under 5% AA.

Racism definitely still exists but as I said most people aren't out in the open about it.

Good for burrow. Now let’s do Jacob Hester. Where were his teammates when he was hurled against for being a white rb?

A former Bengals employee discussed a moving moment in the summer of 2020 in which Burrow “won the team over” during a team meeting by sharing an emotional story about a black teammate of his while playing high school basketball in Athens, Ohio.


This happened on a basketball court within the last 10 years? I know nothing about the area, but...

( X ) Doubt.

Fits the very definition of racism!

( Yes, kidding. But others aren't. That's the problem)

If the players really care about racial injustice then they should strike till half of the head coaches are black.

You don't really have a point other than trying to draw attention to yourself if we're being honest here

When will everything stop being about race?


When the evil white race is expunged from the planet. That can be the only final solution to the white problem.

The consequences of being openly racist in today's society are pretty damning.


If youre nonwhite racism is without consequences.

But I’ll be honest with you, modern day society treats “racism” as something as vile as murder or molestation.
Its the worst thing anyone can be now.

Truth is, it’s mostly harmless.
So what, if someone THINKS something. Actions matter and only actions.

White people are the problem and need to be exterminated so every town and city can look like New Orleans.

This board is proof of how prevailing racism is in this country. It’s sad.

This is about the most benign thing ever and you're trying to make some big deal out of it. You started a thread on 2 boards and there was already a thread about it on the rant. You're just attention whoring.

Reader, who is Black, said that it felt “good to hear from someone on the opposite side” speak out against racial injustice


And if this bastard, Reader, would ever get outside his racial axe grinding bubble, he’d realize there’s hundreds of millions more people like Burrow than there are Dylan Roofs. Reader can shine my knob for his “opposite side” mentality.

I will admit to being racist and especially anti-Semite.

The reason I have to admit it is I do not wish to be bothered by the name calling that occurs anytime I wish to disagree with mainstream media agenda!!

During a game, spectators began yelling racial slurs at Burrow’s friend. The 25-year-old quarterback recalled being taken aback and upset over what had occurred, comforting his teammate at the back of the team bus following the matchup.
