That’s what I’ve been trying to tell people. Females is the word black people started using because “bitch” was deemed offensive. It’s only after it went mainstream and white boys started using it that everyone started getting cut up over this term.

It’s black people talk. First it was bitches and hoes, there were protests, so black guys started using “females” which they thought was incontestably neutral. Then white boys picked it up, and white girls started getting offended by it.

I Keep my hospital ID on me all the time.

Matt McGory thirsty as fuck.

I am soooooo excited for this shit.

Nothing would be good enough. There is no point. He needs to find some writing gigs, work low key and stay out of the spotlight. Perhaps he could get a pseudonym.

No, I mean you know it sucks to be black when there is such a massive shortage of black people doing cool shit that people have to be tearing themselves inside out trying to balance their desire to dismiss Parker with the importance of his work or whatever. Like had he been white, like Bryan Singer, he could have…

I seen Kevin Pietersen score a double century in Australia then jumped in an ice bath like motherfucking boss. Shit was lit.

I actually am a doctor (who isn’t on the internet these days). But you don’t need to be a doctor to know that Inflammatory (rheumatoid? gouty?) is a totally different kettle of fish from a traumatic injury.

Well, I’m a black guy from the Caribbean who studied and worked in the US. I came across that shit all the time. From college kids too.

Well if you did, then you would understand that the ice bath is not just about the bad ankle

Is your inflammatory arthritis a sports injury?

Are you black?

Wait, for real? Drake’s not a pro, but he works out. And normal people put pro methods into their regular workouts and recovery. You never seen a motherfucker do some dynamic stretching because the pros love that shit? This is not bizarre at all.

Yes.

Sure does suck to be black sometimes.

Wait, you’ve never played any sports, have you? Many pro atheletes swear by ice immersion therapy after a workout or competition because it is possible it may accelerate recovery. I seen even cricketers do this. And if cricketers are doing it, you know that shit is legit.

Fair point. “Buck the wonder slave” and other such Oscar bait usually score higher with the critics. Still, I think people are looking for failure because of Parker’s kerfuffle. Which is fine, people are entitled to their biases.

They don’t want to know, so you put it in front of them. This is what activism and “raising awareness” has always been based on. For breast cancer or ALS, or whatever cause. How can we reach these people?

Are you serious? Did you know that people thought there were female Navy Seals after GI Jane? That people think the Scarlet Letter is a movie starring Demi Moore and the book was written after the movie. What fraction of people do you think were aware of the Titanic sinking in 1912 before the 1997 movie came out?
