Sorry Joey, nothing grinds my gears more than people who live outside of KY who talk about how racist this state is.

I have lived and worked in many places, and I’d argue Kentucky is no more racist than any place else. (I will say, however, that Mississippi is wayyy more racist, so I assume Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana are pretty bad too).

This isn’t to say there aren’t racist people in KY, it’s just that it’s about the same proportion of the population compared to say Illinois.

::nodding::

People in Kentucky are generally impeccably nice in person. We aren't the most educated or pristine but we are usually kind to people of all colors. If anything, the fact that all Kentuckians are regarded as knuckledragging hilljacks by the rest of the world makes people less racist, imo. We are all basically ninjas because we talk funny and alot of us don't have much sense.

The point of Hillbilly Elegy was that the only people that can be openly mocked in polite society anymore are dumb, fat white people from the South and Midwest.

Pointing to idiocy doesn't give anyone knowledge. It just gives a spotlight and pedestal to the idiot who will interpret the attention as justification for folly and makes the person bitching about look like they think they are superior. It is Idiocracy all around.

I watched this clip this weekend. It is insanely long. I found it interesting because it is two smart people from totally different backgrounds than most on this board who reached the same conclusions -- people don't even speak the same language anymore. It is all two movies on the same screen. Idiots storm the capitol and feel justified. Idiots on twitter claim it was about race. Idiots in the capitol are like, "Race? we are talking about a global cabal of child molesters!" And we are all dumber for it.

Watch it or don't. I don't care.

Just for the record, I am not trying to "expose" anyone or bring anybody down. These guys are proud of their posts and the Laurel County Sheriff has already bragged on his page about it making the news. They are getting what they want.

I do think its important though for people to see what's out there. The kneeling thing isn't actually as controversial as I thought it would be, but there is a huge segment of people that are livid about it and I think the rest of the fanbase has to realize that. What conclusions people make about it is up to them, but the reality is this group exists.

A lot of people were shocked about what happened Wednesday because they don't know people that feel the way those folks do. Similarly there were a lot of people surprised about the reaction to George Floyd/Breonna Taylor because they don't know people that feel the way they do. I think knowing is the start to understanding....although to be fair I feel like we are a long way from that unfortunately.

In other news, tomorrow morning could be really good for UK Football. Cross your fingers.

Um, pretty sure everybody knew instantly that players kneeling would get our worst fans all tore up. All you’re doing is giving them the attention they want, enticing others to act the same way, and making all Kentucky fans look like mouth breathing losers. So thanks, bud! Make sure you bring this up on bill Maher.

You got something to say about Park Hills dog walkers, pal?

Make sure you bring this up on bill Maher.

He went on a rant the day after the Capitol Riots about how 99% of people are good but he hates how people on either side try to rub extremist behavior from the other side in peoples faces and that we can’t function as a society doing so. Then by the weekend he feels like we as a fan base just need to know how some people didn’t approve knowing the exact reaction it would get.

Here I was just going along and enjoying the win and then I visited Matt’s Twitter feed and realized “hey, some of these fans just don’t appreciate the gesture of kneeling for the anthem and, quite possibly, it means something different to them than it does to these kids”.

Learn something new every day I suppose.

Hate to say it but I thought the same exact thing when I saw that. It’s stirring up **** plain and simple.

I only watch sports whose players have religious, social, and political values that are completely in line with mine. Boycott everything else, of course.

Same goes for fast food chicken restaurants, insulated drink ware manufacturers, coffee shops, tires, big tech companies, television and movies, grocery store chains, athletic apparel, airlines, etc.

I’m just reposting this to help spread awareness that there are people like you.

One of the most racist places I've been is Staten Island, New York. TS.

Why is that when you post something, regardless if it's accurate, I just want to disagree with it?

 

[Bonzo_Cat]

Having worked the last decade in DC and the Northeast I'm not sure 'racist' is the right word. There's certainly a lot of that goes unchecked because those folks think they're infallible, delusional and incapable of such antiquated thinking ....

...overall I see much more contempt for our part of the country, from both R's and D's. The whole coastal elite thing isn't exclusive to one side of the isle.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

Because you’re a known contrarian, anth.

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

I have family in Vermont and they make it clear that they and their neighbors don’t have a racist bone in their body. The fact that they intentionally live in the whitest state in the nation is just a coincidence, but boy are they woke.

You and other idiots always use this as a loophole, despite its fallacy. Rupp Arena is not your social awareness soapbox...do that on your own time. Write a column, go to a message board, buy some airtime, hold up signs on Cooper Dr, etc.....but keep your protests out of the arena, stadium, etc.

[MGGA]

Off to a hell of a start on a Monday morning, GYERO. Just need some financial and political advice from Chief and some rap recommendations from catfanbgky and we should be set.

 

[BBdK]

He & Tucker must have a side bet on who can stir up the most when these “bad fans” things happen.

They’re like weathermen in the early stages of a thunderstorm seemingly praying for a tornado.

 

[anthonys735]

-I still haven't met anyone that lives in Vermont, Delaware, North Dakota or New Hampshire. Kind of amazing.

Is there a more forgotten State than Delaware? Like I know nothing about it. Capitol is Dover, that's it. Maybe because they don't have any sport teams. If you live there what do you do? Just go around watching people's reaction when you tell them you're from Delaware.

-If everyone agreed with the kneeling it would serve much of a purpose, would it? Kneels, a few fans get offended, wokes get offended, circle back.

-Rax's trolling of Matt is elite.

-Get Clarke back healthy and keep building but really we'll know if we're in the tourney by Feb. Our next month is really tough with a razor thin margin of error. We couldn't drop more than 3-4 the rest of the way and feel good about it, right?

-Football team shores up LB and the new offense works... next season could be really really fun. Best schedule we could hope for. Davis hurt s a bunch but I trust Stoops to reload with those dudes, he's done it every time.

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

Problem with football is that we have no proven QBs.

 

[Dore95]

Delaware is not forgotten by big business. Most major corporations are organized under DE law and the state's economy in many ways revolves around that.

 

[anthonys735]

Good, we played a proven QB this entire season and it cost us 2 games.

Give me a real QB competition all/air.

 

[B Rax_rivals210137]

I like matt Jones, honestly. I think he’s a good dude and overall is a positive for this state. Super entertaining radio show. He’s just not above getting called out for humble bragging and ********.

 

[BernieSadori]

Delaware: Corporate tax haven.

That and Joe Biden is about the extent of my knowledge of that state.

 

[80 Proof]

Boston is worse. Way worse.

Was about to post the same thing.

Europe has gotten pretty racist in recent years too. Some of those Eastern Europeans just flat out dont like any Brown people, and dont hold back talking about it.

 

[Dore95]

In Eastern Europe they throw bananas at black soccer players and call them monkeys. That part of the world is far more racist than anything that goes on here.

 

[rudd1]

-built a walmart in seaford, DE in the 90s. Thats all i got.

-stirring **** is the business model, that's ok. Don't be coy...it's insulting.

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

My sister is a New Hampshire resident and has always claimed that they dont have issues with racism bc there are only educated white people living there. Instead they stick their nose up at everyone and everything.

Highlighting the worst of the fans is just an easier headline than writing "Kentucky basketball lucky that majority of fan base supports players"

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Philadelphia may be the most hard core racist place in all of America. TS. Boston is a close second. But they’re cosmopolitan cities located in the Northeast so they get a pass.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

It's almost like people look down at Kentucky because it's mostly poor, uneducated, and rural.

That was in Spain.

-whilst ignoring their poor, uneducated urban populations.

Also, imma call out chief again about these DMs he referenced me sending to him.

Pretty much post your receipts or gtfo with your made up ********.

You're a North Carolina fan, you insufferable asshat.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

We may be poor, uneducated mouth breathing rubes but have you seen the women in general from the Northeast? Good grief. Harsh looking.

Women in general from Kentucky and the South are infinitely more attractive.

 

[Geese Feeder]

That was in Spain.

.. and dear old England, too. I remember Tottenham had a fan that got fined/banned a couple years back.

It's rampant.

Most definitely and wasn't implying otherwise. They have to put signs up at their stadiums to not be racist.

I do feel that we do very well stifling hate speech here compared to the rest of the world. Where I'm concerned is who decides what is what and seeing labels applied to large groups in order to wholesale punish people.

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

I hear elitist morons (more than2-3) in NYC, point west of the Hudson River and call the rest of country, “Pennsyltucky”. Hilarious.

I always fight the good fight and say, outside of restaurants and Baked goods, Pennsyltucky is better than this ********.
