I basically lost 80% of faith in old white people when Don Imus saying “nappy headed ho’s” turned into “rappers should stop saying the n-word”.

“I have two African American adopted cousins in the athletic world”

“This is a teachable moment,” Sung told the Times-Dispatch. “It’s not something that we’re proud of. The team is very apologetic and sorry. There’s nobody of any color that should say it. Period. There’s nobody that should say it.”

Hot take (but also serious): Her response is more racist than the actual video.

Totally agree with that statement. Sometimes, it’s easy for me to be focused on the surface issue (and maybe some underlying issues), and miss the root of the problem.

I hear you and I would love to jump on the bandwagon, but like the weather in Chicago...wait 5 minutes and it could all go to shzt. MJ was married to a black woman and then tossed her aside with some “fluid” chick (not sure what she is...or if she is). But I would love for their connections to mean what you think it…

It would be. But this isn’t about the video. This is about the reaction to it. That everyone would rather just look the other way, pretend it didn’t happen. The girl sending the twitter messages more concerned about how this will affect her than what she did.

Wait, are sports cousins the same as regular cousins?

“This video really was out of innocence

We have reached Peak White Girl.

“I don’t see why this should be an issue about privilege. Also, take it easy on me.”

Yup. That word belongs to one group of people, full stop.

Hating on black people is always a “teachable moment.” shooting black people is a “teachable moment.” Putting innocent black people in jail is a “teachable moment.” When will there be a teachable moment about respecting people of color? Or treating us equally?

“There’s nobody of any color that should say it. Period.”

I knew I liked both and your friend for a reason!
