“You claim you’re a dog, why you not coming to Colorado? Why you not helping somebody who looks like you?”
Here's the video:
Unfortunately, there are many on here and off this board that claim racism doesn't exist in 2023. They are also the ones who align with the "forget about it" or "this hurts my feelings" vibes.I survived forced integration in Mississippi circa 1970. I know racism intimately. With that said, the constant focus on the failures of the past will not and can not move us beyond that, and I personally am over it all. Move on. There will always be racism, but in 2023 in America, there is no reason for it to keep you from succeeding in life.
Jeeze. One of you guys………we are tired of it all man.Unfortunately, there are many on here and off this board that claim racism doesn't exist in 2023. They are also the ones who align with the "forget about it" or "this hurts my feelings" vibes.
I fear that forgetting or not properly acknowledging history will lead to a repeat to a degree. I do agree it's not a reason to keep you from succeeding at this point but racism still leads to racially motivated mass shootings, violence, unfair treatment. The people at the extremes are the typically the problem. Needs to be balance but I mostly see both sides.
Stop crying? Lol.Stop crying. You will be ok in a few hours. If he feels comfortable at Colorado, that's good for him. I don't know his lived experiences, and neither do you. It appears his coaches at IMG has all looked like him until this past year. We don't know what that experience was like for him.
Pointing out that white people, team mates, coaches, business leaders, referees…..might take extreme offense and it will hurt his career in the long run….is now fragile?And I’m here to laugh at you thinking everyone out there in the world is as fragile as you
Did

I think there is a gender studies class or rally, that you need to attend. Clearly reading and comprehension aren’t your strong attributes.
You are either really young and just naive, or a village idiot. This will 100 percent hurt him. Guaranteed there is some sort of “explanation” about his quote that will attempt to tamper down and smooth over this very racist statement.No one is going to remember what he said.
No one is going to care.
You’re acting like he said he hates white people.
Get a grip.
