Interesting reading through the replies. I was raised for 4 years of my childhood next to an affluent black family. Their house was twice as big as ours. They had a tv and an Atari, we didn’t. Their piano was grand, ours was a scratched up upright. My father came from Hungary and my mom’s Canadian and neither ever…

Context makes a difference here. The poster was responding to people claiming Alabama had to be cheating because some of their players were driving Chargers, so he responded with the above tweet sarcastically insinuating tOSU must be cheating as well because on of their players was driving a Camaro. You either didn’t…

I’m getting a little annoyed by the casual racism from this site. Like it’s okay to reduce white people to a caricature (Wypipo, Folx, etc). It’s not cute or helpful in addressing the issues of racism in our country, if anything it alienates those who would be allies to the cause. If I were to use equivalent phrases…

I liked every about this article except for the title. Let us not group a whole race together over one uneducated white male comment. When we do that it becomes just as tasteless as the ignorant man’s comment’s.

I like the racist “White Folx” added to the title - looks to me like Mom was reminding EVERYONE that there are Blacks outside the ghetto.

fuck yall blacks

wtf is a folx

You spelt folks wrong. How are you a professor of journalism and you can’t even spell a five letter word correctly. You know that spell check exists right?

dope! let’s give more positive coverage to a serial abuser of women like Elliott!!!!

LOL. I’m so unbothered.

Awesome president better then that race hating obummer

During the playoffs is an important distinction.

It’s a public university, so the First Amendment very much applies here. And “detainment” is not required. Somebody failed civics.
