Racism just became as big of a problem for white people as we have made it for everyone else in the world for centuries.

so with you here

We have to call people like her in and explain to her the context. We don’t just laugh it off an pretend it didn’t happen and hope racism magically goes away. It requires context, information, introspection and conversations between people of different races. Calling her out for her tweet IS NOT worse than her tweet.

yeah RS is clearly picking his battles—didn’t appear to me that he was laughing with her

and i just want to live in a world where people don’t think castrating black guys and comparing them to animals is a good thing to joke about.

saying it’s okay to castrate a black dude even jokingly also perpetuates racism. that’s worse than someone pointing out that the joke has racial undertones (whether the joke intended to or not.) her joke is FAR less innocuous than someone pointing out that it could be offensive. you are dangerously close to saying…

I’m not trying to convince you of anything, but what you’re missing is that even if she didn’t happen to think of Sherman’s race or intend anything racist, the fact is people are allowed to threaten harm or castration to blacks and compare them to animals in this country for minor transgressions. She could very well…

This is exactly right...there are racist undertones but unlikely she thought much of his race but then that’s part of the problem because race is part of the equation when we look at who can and cannot be physically attacked.

Were these refs just daft or was something else going on? I know the refs are often drunk zombies but this sequence seemed unusually bad even for them.

Yeah just to complain about the clickbaityness of the vid and the post headline, that was more of a light reprimand than a slap or a smack. That was like a strong tapping on the shoulder.  

I think they help them make sure the right players are on the field, don’t get dumbass penalties, etc.

They can call unnecessary roughness or late hit though.

I am not a ref mind reader and I think this call was completely fucked, but maybe if his ‘blocked FG’ was legit then the contact afterward was technically legal. #fuckthoserefs

Why didn’t someone do this to Seattle’s kicker on the next FG or PAT? That what I would fucking do.

Seriously I will take you up on this. I have been just watching the nine minute highlights on youtube that show every basket in the game.

Has anyone seen a rice cooker that DOES NOT have a non-stick/teflon surface? Seems ubiquitous. With other cookware you generally get a range of choices as to the surface but I’ve been having trouble finding an alternative for rice cookers. Thanks!

More like Mychal MURDER amiright?

Yeah and to me, the tackle was kind of one like...”not trying to hit you hard but I gotta make sure you are outta bounds.” I almost wanted it to be a late hit or he got him technically after the foot had touched out of bounds. But at the same time I think Armstrong should have known he was out of bounds and let the…

it’s pretty high up there i can’t stop giggling
