Its sole purpose seems to be the belatedly obvious conclusions of the reporter. It is, in short, an affirmation to both the writer and a particular kind of reader that they are good and moral and correct.

There is literally as much evidence that Isringhause’s hypocritical disdain for Smith is motivated by racism is there is for supposition that it is motivated by the fact that he doesn’t like JR Smith’s shoes, or that he has a visceral hatred for the number 5, or that he heard that JR Smith may have secretly thought…

I did recognize that possibility. As I said in my original post, every time a white person says something about a black person, it’s obviously because of racism. No matter what. Always.

Awesome point about the article not calling him a racist — good thing I wasn’t responding to that, but to the post that literally called it “tweeting thinly-veiled racism”! Thanks for your stellar contribution!

That proves he’s a hypocrite. Care to show how that makes him a racist?

DURR EVERY TIME A WHITE PERSON SAYS SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT A BLACK PERSON FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER IT IS CAPITAL R RAY-CISS-UM, EVEN WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE TO SUBSTANTIATE IT. DOG WHISTLE DOG WHISTLE DOG WHISTLE THATS WHAT I SAY WHEN I WANT TO MAKE UNGROUNDED ACCUSATIONS OF RACISM BECAUSE I ENJOY WRITING FAN FICTION

Yeah I’m skeptical of method acting too. When you really think about it, has Christian Bale, Marlon Brandon, Daniel Day-Lewis, Robert DeNiro, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Harvey Keitel, Ed Norton, or Al Pacino ever actually given a compelling acting performance?

There is literally no way to prove that this is a racial issue. You may have missed this in junior high, but correlation does not imply causation. Something happening to a white person is not necessarily happening to them because they are white. It’s your right to see everything that happens to a white person as the…

Um, maybe the fact that Lampley literally said “only one” athlete would give up years of their competitive and money-making primes for a sociopolitical cause, when all three of those names mentioned also gave up years of their competitive and money-making primes for a sociopolitical cause?

everything is racist
