LOLWUT??!?!?!? because i think more than 1% of our population and absolutely more than 0 people on this board are racists?
honestly, I didn't know people were this naive. but this explains a lot about the board and how these discussions go. you guys just honestly think racists don't exist. absolutely wild.
i wish i could share the DMs ive seen from multiple black legislators that have showed them to me. absolutely wild that you refuse to believe aamir simms and others who say this is real. just wild.
this view is literally holding up progress. i hope you'd see that, but im sure that you wont.
Not going to argue with you about the comments made by the guy earlier saying 99% of people aren’t racists. It’s absurd, I agree, and too many times people throw out arguments with ridiculous figures like that or absolute statements that begin with “everyone is this” and “this never happens”. As they say, the truth is always somewhere in between.
I have no doubt Sims is telling the truth. Why can I say that? Because it doesn’t surprise me one bit that some unhinged ******* said some ridiculous things. Also, I can say with certainty that those unhinged people aren’t likely to comment when the team wins and he goes for a double double.
To me, this is where the issue lies. People like the ones we are talking about have access to spew their BS as much as they want. Most are outright racists. Some are just unhappy. They’re all pathetic. Unfortunately, these players open themselves up to these idiots and after a while these things are perceived as the overwhelmingly majority opinion of the fan base. It’s human to just focus on the negativity. I have no doubt it’s easy to do that when the majority of the comments thrown at you are negative. How does a young man know that the majority of the fan base isn’t like that? I don’t know if we can expect someone that immature, as most kids are at that age, to be able to come to that conclusion having mainly faced negativity in these situations. Silent majority is a real thing. I just wish young people could see that most of the people are pulling for them. Not 99%, because no one will ever achieve that. And it’s impossible to see the true number of people that are behind when you base your perception on comments made anonymously on social media. Nothing positive comes from doing that, yet it’s what so many young people, and adults for that matter, do these days.
