You like HW as a candidate? Holy shvt never move to my state. We already have a crazy psycho in MGT. I don’t want more of them.
So is he saying that if Herschel typed a certain word on his iPad and his coach read it out loud, Herschel would get kicked off the team?
Tell me you’ve never heard him speak without telling me you’ve never heard him speak…
Back to the facts ... to my knowledge G Rogers and H Walker did not score any TDs against Clemson. I have no idea about ML's record against us per number of TDs. ML as a football player was a mature, super talented runner who most always got 2-4 extra yards from the point he was first hit.
I thought, and I certainly could be wrong, that HW and GR never scored in Death Valley. Could be wrong. Lattimore only suited up against us once and didn’t do much if anything. The rest of their team beat our brains in though.
Lattimore is quite possibly the most overrated running back of our time. His BEST season he averaged 5.0 yards per carry. 4.8 for his career. His only asset was that he would carry it 35 times and rarely got tackled in the backfield. In no way does that make someone elite. Go back to maybe out least hyped featured RB in some time, Rod McDowell averaged 5.4 per carry when he was lead back.
Sadly, that is par for the course in everyday politics
Lattimore is the perfect picture of the chicken curse embracing the Lib woke culture of Oregon. Is Herschel the best choice? I would not think so but he is much better than Warnock
HW is a moron, so he would be in the upper third of those in Congress
honestly thought the pic of Lattimore at the top of the article was Jussie Smollett
Using the “Uncle Tom” thing is so political. Seems to only apply to those who are not Democrats.
Don't put words in my mouth. I like his political views is what I said. Never said I liked him as a candidate. Which I don't btw. There are tons of people that I like that have similar political views that I would never push for a role in politics.
But my point was that Lattimore blistering him over his point of view and bringing race into the discussion is ridiculous.
It’s not like he ever won any major awards or people refer to him as the goat or anything. Most people remember him as a pretty good college RB and that’s about what he was
I went to 14 Byrnes games just to watch Latimore play even though I knew he would end up at "of". I loved the heart that he had on the football field. I saw him carry Byrnes to a victory over Northwestern breaking 15 tackles on a five yard touchdown run on fourth and the game.
Sad that he loss that heart.

Well, he’s a political candidate. The purpose of a political candidate is to win political office to advance a platform. So I’m not sure what the criticism that he’s a “pawn” really means, here. I mean, he wanted to run for Senate and he got nominated because he has name recognition and the right endorsements.
Given his weaknesses as a candidate, I’m not so sure that Republican leaders would’ve selected Walker to be their “pawn” in GA, either. Why would you choose Walker to be your pawn if he seems likely to lose a very winnable seat? But the people who decided to endorse him early on just went with the “political outsider” who was loyal to a former president. GA Republican primary voters did what they seem to do lately and nominated him despite his weaknesses.
Black people hate to see other black people think for themselves and not tow the Democratic victim party line.
It's really sad that people like Herman Cain, Dr. Ben Carson, Thomas Sowell, Candace Owens, Tim Scott, Clarence Thomas, Gianno Caldwell, Condi Rice, Lawrence Jones, Hershel, and any black member of Congress who's not a Democrat (yes there are a few other than Tim Scott) can think highly enough of themselves to shed the victim mentality, think of themselves as equal to any white man or woman and become ultra successful yet be hated by the majority of other blacks. I mean how dare they view themselves as equal to the white man instead of the white man's victim?? The must be Uncle Tom's or house people if they are respected by white people right? Sickening.
They also really hate the fact that any black or brown Conservatives are respected and welcomed into the ranks of Conservatism and not rejected because, you know, Conservatives are just so damn racist and there's no way they can actually like black, brown, red or yellow people who share their same political beliefs.
As a Conservative, I love to see black people, Asian people, Hispanic people and Native American people join us in unison to work towards a better America. True Conservatives are united and accepting of our fellow Conservatives regardless of what race they are. We just want a united America and a place that our grandchildren can be proud to call home without the government breathing down their necks.
As long as so many people remain chained to the past and keep letting politicians divide us and rob us blind, America will never reach its full potential.

Walker may not be great. But he’s a better option than a “Reverend” that thinks it’s ok to murder unborn babies.
You must not have any Gamecock friends. He is a cross between Jesus and Jim Brown for them.
Thats a nice long post saying you have one black friend (when in reality you don't).
Hershel Walker aint a politician which is what we should be voting into office instead of an abortion supporting Baptist "pastor" like Warnock that's bought and paid for by rich elites. We keep voting the same slick talking crooks into office and expecting things to get better.
Give me some candidates who have grown up working for a living in the factories, coal mines, farm fields, paper mills and textile mills and they'll get my vote every time. If there's a candidate that the establishment hates, that's who we should be voting for instead of morons like Biden who has never held down a real job during their adult life. A damn 50 year career politician and we put his ass in office thinking he would bring better results than the last moron that actually had great policies.
This shouldn't be a popularity contest about who looks the best, talks the best or kisses ass the best. It should be about voting for people that know what the little people are going through and know what it's like to actually work to achieve something.

Just scanned the article, and, wow! That whole article is loaded with actual racism. Not imagined, embellished, or put-on...but pure, unadulterated hatred of 'whiteness'.
Good to know where he stands, though, I guess.

I may have said he has a lot of potential in crutch sales.....
.....which was mean as hell and uncalled for.
That said - I don't get the love for him to the level we are seeing. He may be a great guy. But so is CJ Spiller, Trevor Lawrence, Christian Wilkins, and dozens of other players that played for Clemson.
Never saw what the big deal with Lattimore was.
Now I will say that on the field, George Rogers was a beast.

So are Maxine Waters, Alma Adams, and Eleanor Holmes Norton.
And this is how we end up with bad candidates like Walker who lose seats that should be Republican.
The confusing thing is that the trendy thinking about race likes to talk about how bad the ideology of “whiteness” is, but they sort of simultaneously say that all white people take part in it while also arguing that “whiteness” is more of a frame of mind/ideology than it is an innate quality of a person. But it’s such a slippery concept that they’ll try to make it do work to define all “white” people at the same time that it’s supposed to mean a way of acting and a set of beliefs somehow related to “white people,” but not having to do with an innate “race.”
The irony is that they’re using “whiteness” in a very similar way to white nationalists and white supremacists.
I don’t know if successful is a term that I would associate with HW.. granted he played in the NFL and college… hell OJ did too and played in movies. The bad thing is that mainstream is determining what is racist instead of the actual people who has to experience it. In some states you can have bigots, and racists running for public office and they seem to have a R attached to their names. But somehow that gets glossed over. That says in and of itself that their ideals are supported. As long you belong to that clique is about the only time that race is looked past and POC are seen as less threatening to the establishment. HW is who he is… a bumbling fool who makes ZERO sense..who just happened to have Donald nuts in his mouth. If HW is the picture of success.. I hate to see what success REALLY looks like.
I think the real error in all of this is thinking that it has anything to do with actual racism at all--but instead a prepupal need to define and cultivate an aggrieved class of people, then exploit the situation to advance political and other ambitions.
The real insidious aspect of all of this is the part I highlighted--that this toxic atmosphere is deliberately cultivated--less a people not sense that they are aggrieved at all.
There are worse candidates that have been elected. I think it was a house rep from GA that gave a speech on the floor during the debates about aid to Haiti a couple of years ago that stated we needed to pass the aid legislation quickly bc he was afraid the island may tip over bc all the people had moved to one side.
Regardless of party, until we find a way to get better candidates than Hershel Walker (or MTG, or Maxine Waters, or pick your favorite) then this is where we are headed as country. The dude is a documented liar, doesnt have a clue about any of the issues, and his some real sketchy things in his personal life.
Racism has many hosts. Cleary Marcus is evidence of that. What a shame that identity politics have become so normalized. Disgusting actually.
N---
I do agree that's one political use of the ideology. There is power in identity, if only because of the power of numbers. But there's another slippery way of talking about "whitness" and power: black people are supposedly not able to be racist, because "racism" according to the new "anti-racism" isn't simple racial prejudice, it's a system of oppression that flows only one way, from "whiteness" to "non-whiteness." But, at the same time, "whiteness" only belongs to white people, since only white people can be racist. So "whiteness" exhibited by non-white people is still white oppression, somehow.
Further, you'd expect that power differentials would be different depending on what situation you were in. For instance, if you were involved in something where the authorities adopted the new "anti-racist" ideology, then non-whites would clearly have more power than whites. However, nobody seems to notice that defining racism by relative differences in power means that the more equal non-whites are to whites, the more capable of racism non-whites are. The fact that this hasn't been noticed is another reason to think that the "anti-racist" ideology is attracting a lot of people mostly interested in political power.
As far as "whiteness" goes as a concept, I'd say it's got some validity when you think about the way, for instance, the Irish or Italians were at one time considered not to be white. There was clearly some sort of ideological usage of "whiteness" that conferred group membership and certain privileges. That's a social construction that I think needs to go away, and that I actually think has faded quite a bit anyway (it seems telling to me that people are less interested in deconstructing "blackness," though...). The problem is when you reify the ideology so that it attaches to people as an innate characteristic.
