Very interesting. I think that's part of why I was questioning this: I had a similar thought process. Thank you for posting that!

Yeah, but just to be sure we're clear...White dudes get a LOT more room to be self-promoting blowhards.

"Nobody is allowed to talk about racism because it doesn't affect me (as a white guy), so it's a boring and unimportant topic".

I, for one, want to say "fuck you." This site is great and it's evolutionary. Have fun at Barstool...duuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Have you ever tried telling the police "Someone is sexually harassing me on Facebook"? There was an article recently run where a woman actually pursued calling the police when a man consistently harassed her with rape and death threats over Twitter - the response was to ask her what Twitter was. http://www.psmag.com/na…

Thing is thoough. The game industry and the various gaming conventions are notorious for this type of behavior. Since it's part of a pattern and not isolated to a single idiot, we should keep publishing stories like these so people come to understand that eyes are on them and they'll have to learn how to act…

No, you are wrong again. Rotten behavior should be brought into the spotlight. This shaming will teach him a valuable lesson and other idiots might be discouraged from being despicable online as a result. Women deal with a lot of bullshit of this type and historically it has NEVER been in the interest of the ladies to…

This actually reminds me of an Oglaf comic. Falling into the so desperate you actually feel pity category.

So you choose to be oblivious or apathetic about issues involving class and race intertwining with sports. You want to not care about important real life issues. Seriously?

Yeah! You and none of your friends are openly racist, therefore none of the reaction to Sherman was racially motivated at all!

Brilliant. Deadspin didn't drive this story. When they posted about it last night, it was just "Look at Richard Sherman acting like a crazy person! How fun!" What drove this story were 1) A flood of explicitly racist tweets and 2) A lot of grandstanding and moralizing that contained barely concealed racism. There's…

I think Kayla Knapps response to the article would have had heavier weight if she simply explained what she meant. Her open-ended tweet is what I think leaves it confusing. When she says, "I don't blame her" What does she mean? What was her purpose in tweeting?

A brother can't get credit for shit around here.

"By inserting it in there within that context, you’re implying I said she looked petrified because he is black. That was clearly not my intent with the tweet. #NotRacist" - KaylaKnappFOX

The Kanye is not a talented musician always comes back to "I don't personally like him therefore the large swaths of society who regard him as a musical genius are incorrect." Most people don't like classical music yet not many would ever diminish their talents the way people do when Kanye is brought up.

From Kayla Knapp:

Yeah, it's definitely not any more complicated than that. For instance, there are definitely no white musicians with an inflated sense of worth who aren't run through the wringer nearly as often or as brutally as Kanye...

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day.

So.... He's black and arrogant, but not talented? Got it.

If you want to find the raaaayyyycis in the room, listen for the word "thug". It's become synonymous with "any black man with any attribute I disagree with", or sometimes just "black man". There used to be another word for it, but that's become taboo.
