I'm not disagreeing with the hate and race related crap going on with Caitlin. I'm saying there is a whole second level of commentators generating clicks off of it and giving attention to or participating in the divisive bs helps to perpetuate it.
And it's not all the black women in the league. Just like not every Caitlin fan is racist.
I would agree with this in the general sense because I believe it is factual. And to just add to this comment, I'll say two things. First, folks will always "Tune In" to their favorite commentors. Some will do so for useful commentary and information. Others will follow along to hear information that will satisfy their "Itching Ears".
Secondly, folks who have a specific feeling about someone or some topic will gravitate toward the commentary that reinforces those feelings. And, another aspect of commentary are redundancies. This commentor "Parrots" off of the original story, and so on. And then, many of them endorse each other publicly (Which adds up to perpetuation). The important thing is to exercise discernment, but with all of the various opinions out there, it can be a pretty slick environment to navigate. Listening to both sides of commentary, and then forming an opinion is nice, but doesn't address bias in some form or another by the consumer.
In other words, the info and the commentary's out there. Common sense and research can help. But, good old common sense goes a long way.
