Am I supposed to be OUTRAGED or something?

quote:

Utah women's basketball team subjected to 'racial hate crimes' at tournament hotel, coach says

Utah women’s basketball coach Lynne Roberts said Monday her team was forced to change hotels upon arriving for the NCAA Tournament over "racial hate crimes."

Roberts made the revelation after the team lost to Gonzaga in the second round of the tournament. She said the incidents occurred Thursday night after the team arrived in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, for the games being played in Spokane, Washington. Without going into specifics, Roberts said the incidents were disturbing to the party and it sparked concerns about their safety.

Really don't say what happened. Just have to take their word for it.

From what I have found, a dude in a truck was revving his engine and yelling the N-word at the team as they walked down the sidewalk. That part of the country has had its share of allegations about white dudes behaving badly.

If all of it is true, I can see being bothered by it and it needs to be called out.

Calling it a "hate crime", though? Nope.

If being an a-hole was a crime, we would all be locked up by now.

There are some countries that are drastically restricting free speech. Like proposals that if you say 'Prime Minister Smith is a jackass' at your dinner party and one of the guests reports you to authorities for hate speech you can get jail time.

It should be called out, but I bet when something like this happens the "victims" are f'n celebrating because they know what it means for their "brand" and life on social media.

There is no better status in America today than "victim".

No wonder they lost. Have they not watched college basketball lately?

Which is why I preach to my family to say what they want and do not ever worry about the label because the label is used to suppress you from saying what you want. Each one of them also owns what is necessary to protect their inalienable rights!!

How does the same word, the same word, only affect you when it's said by white people.

And affect you so much that you have to move hotels.

I have never met one black person, male or female, who is scared of any white person. Not in my 50 years on this earth.

I was scanning through the channels this weekend and came across the Utah game. I thought I was seeing things. Five white girls on the court and they were all playing for same team

None of this shart is ever true. They're trying to popularize girl's basketball because it's pathetic and nobody gives two fricks about it.

Not saying this is a legit story, but if it were going to happen somewhere, I can definitely see it being Coeur d’Alene.
