Rencher has a point

It’s hard to blame him for trying to capitalize on playing for Clemson. I’m sure he’s a nice guy, too. It doesn’t mean anybody should feel like they need to pay attention to him or like what he’s saying.

That said, if we had a climate that was more tolerant of of various points or view, I don’t think Rencher would be getting much push back. Kind of ironic, I guess.
My disdain for him has nothing to do with any of that. I simply find him unbearably annoying and a loser
 
If it weren’t for this board I would have no idea who Darien Rencher is. Im glad he’s found a niche and if he can make it a profitable niche then good for him.

At the end of the day it was a somewhat humorous tweet and whether he comes a billionaire or a guy we never hear from again, I won’t lose any sleep. I have no idea why some of you care so much

I do kind of like him because it seems that a lot of his statements end up in very entertaining threads here
 
Everyone is entitled to their own conclusion. But I’m gonna give Mr PR Podcast the use of fun things we do with language. IMO, he’s using an innuendo or an allusion.

An innuendo is a hint, insinuation or intimation about a person or thing, especially of a denigrating or a derogatory nature. It can also be a remark or question, typically disparaging (also called insinuation), that works obliquely by allusion. In the latter sense the intention is often to insult or accuse someone in such a way that one's words, taken literally, are innocent.
Allusion is a figure of speech, in which an object or circumstance from unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly.[1][2] It is left to the audience to make the direct connection.[3] Where the connection is directly and explicitly stated (as opposed to indirectly implied) by the author, it is instead usually termed a reference.[4][5][6] In the arts, a literary allusion puts the alluded text in a new context under which it assumes new meanings and denotations.[7] It is not possible to predetermine the nature of all the new meanings and inter-textual patterns that an allusion will generate.[7] Literary allusion is closely related to parody and pastiche, which are also "text-linking" literary devices.[7]

Don’t get all upset sometimes the truth hurts. Rencher wasn’t a positive aspect within the team and honestly just a distraction. Always knew he was a distraction at best.
I was a NCAA college athlete I’ve seen it first hand buddy. Most talented team I played on had big time distractions and underachieved. One of our lesser talented teams ended up 7th in the country but it was all about ball and ball only. Team chemistry matters and all that marching woke crap was far from uniting our team.
That's just a stupid, sorry ass take. But you do you......
 
Also. I'm guessing he's referring to reperations from the harm he suffered through false accusations...

Your the one viewing this through the race lens.

Also, post less. Like, a lot less.
You're such a douche. And why not use spell check occasionally to at least appear educated beyond the third grade.
 
Attention grab no doubt
He’s a big part of the reason our team lost focus and became too woke and not focused on the game and process Trevor’s last year. It bit us hard.

Double down agree with the distractions that some people cause by becoming woke

Commit to the program and play football

I find Darien Rencher to be super annoying and I’m glad he’s gone, but my goodness guys, this tweet was clearly about Deshaun receiving reparations for being falsely accused. He has suffered wrongfully, and now he’s being compensated.

Nothing having to do with race here IMO.

No not at all. So you know who he primarily hangs out with based upon a few pictures you've seen of him? I've seen pictures of him with Trevor and his wife and KJ and his girlfriend, but I don't follow the young man like a lot of you guys apparently. I would would think his group of friends would be very diverse which seems like a good thing to me.

You seem sensitive to these subjects.

I could care less who Mr Rencher hangs with and was indirectly pointing out how ‘diverse’ his reality is.

If more folks knew that, maybe reluctant to jump to conclusions?

Imagine viewing everything in life through the lens of race. That guy is a cancer and I’m glad he’s no longer with the football program.
It's ignorant YT fans such as yourself that give Clemson fans a bad reputation. Sorry that you're unable to place yourself in other people's shoes to see everyone isn't treated the same as you were.

No one is treated the same. I am overweight. I would not be treated the same as a person in shape. Is that a sign of fat person discrimination? No. We are all going to see limitations wrongly placed on us and disparate treatment. That doesn't mean it is about race. Often it isn't.

The biggest problem in our society is that the demand for racism for outstrips the supply. So we make it up everywhere we go to justify our narratives and it's ridiculous. It's also corroding our society and very serious ways. We need to stop and get a grip on thanks.

When I was younger we were working toward equal treatment and now we're working towards something else entirely. I find it unbelievable that people have lost sight of this fact.

Good point and I misinterpreted your post. My apologies! The way I read it didn't seem like you. And yes I am sensitive to what I believe are far too many racist comments on this board.
 
That actually explains a lot. I really really don't care. I promise it doesn't matter. You can't hurt me. I really really don't care. But, I'm a lawyer just so you know... Lol

Oh I'm just proud of my education, for sure. And just not fragile enough to worry about my grammar and spelling on a message board, but just fragile enough to make sure people know about my lack of caring. :).

Rencher is just like DRod. Thank God both of them are now gone and hopefully far away from the program
 
Same people always seem to be against black men unless they are stars for their athletic teams. Never fails. Just like clockwork.
Please tell me why you'd make such a broad brush statement re others' feelings re race? That isn't necessary nor based on fact imo.

I admit that we don't agree on many subjects. But while I have many weaknesses and faults, fragility isn't one of them. A night of drinking in Mexico probably didn't contribute much at 3AM! :)

This thread is crazy and embarrassing I must say. I'll admit that folks who've been around the race debate and add in a little education, are the ones most familiar with the word reparation and prob are most likely to use it. I actually used it with Matt Stafford and said he finally got reparations from the NFL for him being in Detroit so long. Never considered the racial aspect of the word but my knowledge of the word is why i used it. It fit perfectly. As someone stated earlier the word actually does have a meaning and can be used simply as a payback or receiving something you were owed especially if you felt damaged. Watson lost a whole year, tons of money and reputation sullied.

Also, it seems many people eventually hate anyone who talks about race "too much". At some point you get tired of hearing about it. Well guess what. It's a whole topic. It's real and it's a big part of our society. Hearing about it all the time can be a real drag. Experiencing it and trying to act like it's not happening so people like many of you won't get offended is tiresome. I've ignored it so many times because if you say something you're whining. I've had to ask my white friends not to comment if they notice it when we're out. I'm actually telling them it's just a waste of time. Yup. I have those days where I've given up too. Just need a break. You're not the only ones tired of the race topic.

What gets me about Rencher is when he talks about race he isn't some black separatist or other negative force. He talks about race along with unity. He's surrounded by white folks all the time so he's definitely not about blaming all white folks or hating white folks. And some of you still dislike him. Race is a big part of this world and I for one wish it wasn't. It's exhausting. Not just hearing about it but feeling it.

His attitude and those like him are way more dangerous than the racism that he believes is so rampant. Creating racism when it doesn’t exist is assisting the efforts to divide this nation. Alec Baldwin, Aaron Rodgers, Sean Penn, and many other elitist white peoples refuse to take responsibility for their actions and attempt to make themselves a victim at times, but as soon as you say a black person is doing the same, people like him make it about race. Playing the victim isn’t merely about race, and people like him who think it is perpetuate narratives and foment discord while ironically believing that they are the ones fighting injustice.

Uh, isn't that what we are doing right now anyway? Everything is about race. It's like having the Ace card in a game of spades. Except now the race is the trump card. The Chinese and Russian's knew the best way to destroy America without firing a shot was through race dissension. It is called creating WOKE!!! The WOKE has moved this county's race relations back to the early 1900s. Of course, if the Russian's or Chinese have race or ethnic issues, they just do some in house cleansing. But they knew that the US has (had) a different set of moral values, so they learned how to weaponize moral values. :confused:

What's funny is the number of people that think any of this is new or different. I've gone back two generations talking about this. Where I grew up police brutality was very normal. Based on race and perceived economic status. White folks got beat down too but not for being white but for looking a certain way and not having money to defend themselves.

When Rodney King happened what I call good white folks had never seen anything like that. Not all white people are racists and some of them had never been surrounded by racist people so it was a blind spot.

The more advanced and simple the recording devices got/get the more recordings we got. The number of incidents didn't increase only the recorded accounts of what was already happening. Technology started this new awakening not any singular person or movement. Blame woke on Technology.
 
There are still 23 outstanding civil cases. There’s a better than average chance that not all are “completely false accusations” and DW4 settles with one ore more. Does that then mean that a black man is PAYING reparations?

We have achieved equality!!!!

My defining years were mostly in the 1970's. Yeah, there were always some race issues, and I knew some guys that were obnoxious racists that I made sure to avoid, but in the mid 1970's race relations was pretty good and improving year by year. All of that progress has been erased!!! As mentioned, we are back to the early 1900's as far as race relations go.

I was just watching the TV show King of Queens. The banter that Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) and his best friend Deacon Palmer (Victor Williams) did back and forth about race would all be cancel culture material today. The same thing with Last Man Standing with Mike Baxter (Tim Allen) and his black friend and neighbor. The things (messages) that was brought to light with race relations in TV shows like that, which people could laugh at, but still brought relevance, is now taboo, and talking about means banning and cancelling. Those were things that was brought to light that made people aware and brought people and race relations forward. The WOKE and cancel culture has brought race relations backwards. They are making more racists than this country has seen in decades, or a century!!!

You wrote 3 paragraphs just to show you still don't get it. Comparing being overweight to how black people have been treated and continued to be treated in this country shows how out of touch from reality you truly are.

When you were young segregation still existed. Equal rights still hasn't come to fruition and its been 60+ years. Yet you still remain blind to it because you don't have to deal with it. Smh

What the hell are you talking about? Segregation still existed? You have no idea where I grew up or what things were like. You're just talking out of your ass. I didn't compare being overweight being black. That's such a zero-sum argument that people without much understanding make. Out of touch? That's quite a statement to make for someone you don't even know or understand the lifestyle that that person lives. It's that kind of stupidity that is taking us backward. I'm the furthest thing in the world from out of touch but I do have a slightly different opinion than all the mouth breathers that are going around screaming racism at every turn. I've experienced racism and been beaten numerous times because of the color of my skin.

I experienced true integration before most anyone did because of where I grew up. It works but there's never going to be a case where everybody is truly treated equally. We're human beings and prejudices are going to exist on both sides. You've clearly demonstrated you have yours in this thread. Thank you for making my point for me.

You confidently typed this and I don't doubt any of what you just said from YOUR perspective. However it is light years different than any experience I had during the same time period you'respeaking of. Your experience with race relations is totally different from mine.

Until you start believing, understanding and maybe even accepting that what you described is totally not true to much of America we'll keep repeating this over and over. And you believe more racists are being made? So being upset that people keep talking about race or maybe at worst crying racism is there is enough to make people racist or create racist? If that's the case with as often as I've experienced racism I should have turned into one myself. Nah. I have far too many white folks in my life that I love unconditionally to let some racist folks make me turn into one.

Funny thing is many of my white friends exist with no difference in their lives in this new woke culture ad you call it. They've always considered the plight of their black friends and their life hasn't changed recently because they don't feel attacked because they know they are not the ones people are talking about. Their words not mine. Reading your post you sound really passionate about this topic. You sound like you're fed up. I feel you on that. Me too. But in a totally different way.
