Run of the mill White

[okclem]

🤣🤣🤣 I got called "token white boy" by the J.L Mann high school coach when I played for Greenville, even though I was one of two white starters on team.

I showed him though. I usually scored between 0 and 2 points a game, but in my last game against them I scored 4.

I don't care what she says. None of that stuff really bothers me. What I do find annoying is that she is standing up there pointing out the racial constitution of her team as though that somehow matters. Who gives a crap what people look like? Our obsession with our appearance is perplexing. It just doesn't matter at all. At the end of the day, it's mostly about keeping up appearances rather than anything genuine or significant.

 

[ryanhaley]

I don't think she's (I shouldn't assume pronouns) saying non-athletic or non-meaningful white players. She's talking about nationalities, basically saying she's "got regular old american's too."

changing what she said.....how "really white" of you.

 

[clemsonkelly]

12 and 10 would probably get it. I know they’d want it.

Is that what's happening on 10/10?

 

[Hammerdawg.NEAR]

A a run of the mill white, am I supposed to be offended by that?

No, but everybody is offended by everything now, so if they’re gonna play the game so should everyone else

How many white people have lost their careers or had their lives ruined over innocuous comments that were innocent in intention?

I don’t think she should lose her job over something so trivial and stupid, but I also don’t play the double standard game. In a normal, sane world, everyone would just shrug this off, but it’s 2023 and the standard has been established that this particular type of transgression is the worst thing ever

End of the day I doubt anything happens to her because the aggrieved party is too pale in color

Well I can't tell you how to feel, but as a standard issue honkey myself, I was not offended.

 

[moradatiger70]

Joe Biden example BOY

So trivial, but turn the script and...

 

[okclem]

How many white people have lost their careers or had their lives ruined over innocuous comments that were innocent in intention?

I don't know. How many?

How many black people weren't granted full civil rights for over 300 years in this country? The answer is all of them. Cry me a river.

I'm sure, in time, you'll fully recover from this.

 

[MBRO]

Anyone have some pearls I can grasp? WGAS?

Sure, some people would be offended if it was the other way. Be the change you want to see in the world.

[DandyDozen12]

yAll aRe so FraGiLE…

I’m not triggered in the slightest. But that she feels smug saying this is beyond reprehensible. If you don’t see that you’re in for a real treat over the next 20 yeara

Right because that’s the dichotomy we’re dealing with here.

Beyond reprehensible seems a smidgen overboard. To me at least.

Wow!

Personally she’s not hurting me but for people to act like there’s not a double standard they’re just in denial. If she were as she called her Mom ‘White White’ she’d be fired today. We’ve all created this.

 

[hodgson74]

This will have the Honkeys beside themselves.

Seems like the majority are not offended but carry on

 

[okclem]

Right because that’s the dichotomy we’re dealing with here.

Look, I can tell that your terribly upset about this, but there's no call for sarcasm.

 

[TooterTownTiger]

“My mom is white” is the new “I have black friends”

 

[DandyDozen12]

The point is not how offended or thick skinned we should be. The point is that this is exactly the language that would get a white person fired. The point is an egregious double standard which is taking root in young hearts and minds. One which redefines ethics as a way of righting past wrongs. Which changes the morality of an action based upon immutable characteristics of the offender and of those against whom the offense has been committed.

Again, if you can’t see how that’s going to shape the future, negatively, all I’d say is you’ll find out.

Look, this instance doesn’t impact me in the slightest. But the principle is a big one yes

How many?

Like moths to a flame

Black people not having civil rights in the early days of the US means we should be cool with double standards and perpetuating racism and discord. Got it. This totally won’t sow resentment and makes a toooooonnnnnn of sense. Not.

Does that future look worse or better than the past?

Thought you would know. Clearly not.

 

[DandyDozen12]

Where do you think “run of the mill” comes from. Do you not see how derogatory that is. It’s the same thing as saying (which has been said many many times since 2020) that white people have no culture.

 

[DandyDozen12]

Again, that isn’t the dichotomy here. It looks worse than a future where we don’t allow and celebrate racism I’ll tell you that.

 

[yungan]

Saw where one of those white girls (different school) signed a big NIL endorsement with State Farm

 

[Hammerdawg.NEAR]

Thought you would know. Clearly not.

Let me break out my notepad where I keep a running talley of these things and I’ll get back to you.

Douche.

😭😭😭

Answer me one question: was that comment she made acceptable to you?

 

[DandyDozen12]

😭😭😭

As expected, solid discourse from you. You’d make kendi proud

 

[okclem]

The same honkeys crying itt are the ones who rush in to deny Trump's overt racism at every turn. It's really quite something.

 

[TheValley91]

Answer me one question: was that comment she made acceptable to you?

No I’d advise her to not say that. But I also don’t feel as dramatic as you do about it.

 

[okclem]

Answer me one question: was that comment she made acceptable to you?

It was to me. Entirely acceptable.

 

[okclem]

I don't have any idea who kendi is.

 

[TruTiger87]

@okclem @TheValley91

Do you view what she said as racist?
Are you for or against racism?
Do you think she should be reprimanded?

Interested in your opinions.

It makes no sense for you to hate cancel culture and then participate in it.

 

[mantan]

For the record, 22 ain't "run of the mill."

I'm pretty sure if you flew a covey of quail through that gym, every last one of them would point.

I’m not sure “she” is even a she

 

[southerncaltiger]

Shes got a 19-40 record but hella diverse

Hmm. This how I look at the current Washington D.C. situation. Lacking quals and a record of success, but checking all of the diversity boxes. Because in the end, isn't that what really matters?

 

[CUFam98]

Anyone have some pearls I can grasp? WGAS?

I bet #22 had/has a huge set of pearls

 

[southerncaltiger]

I’m not sure “she” is even a she

Oh, that's NOT Lia Thomas?
