Racism against a ruling majority is not the same as racism against a disenfranchised minority. Calling a white man a cracker is not the same thing as calling a black man the n-word. Literally everyone knows this.

But they didn’t yell soccer. They yelled basketball for a reason. And no we shouldn’t yell racist things ar white people either.

So what exactly, pray tell, would be the point of yelling “basketball” (a strongly black-identified sport) at a black player in a strongly white-identified point if the intent were not “Hey blackie, black on back to blacksketball”? How in the world do you get “grey area” from this scenario? Are you one of those Very…

Yo, dingus, no one is saying that stating the word “basketball” is racist.

Who died and appointed you the Grand Arbiter of What Is Racist and What is Not Racist? They’re telling a black guy to go play basketball instead of hockey. The racial implication is obvious, to anyone who isn’t too goddam dense or obtuse to see it. For fuck’s sake.

you are not getting it. the intent was racist as hell, not the word itself. Depending on the context and intent, many common words can be used for racist shit.

What do you think they were getting at by chanting “basketball”?

No where did it mention the player had them ejected. It said an official said something. And if you for a second don’t think chanting “basketball” at a black hockey player isn’t racist...then you my friend should be kicked out out of this stadium...

Telling a black guy to go back to playing basketball is racist. It’s pretty simple.

right. Because hockey fans just like to yell “basketball” at all players who visit the penalty box. Get the fuck out of here

Yes, when “basketball” is a stand-in for “you are black and therefore you should not be playing hockey.” It’s clearly intended to reference a racial stereotype, and deploying it to taunt and unsettle a black man makes it obviously racist as hell.

Yes, it is offensive enough. Paying for seats doesn’t let you be a racist, and it isn’t being “thin-skinned” to want to do something to stop racism.

Are you suggesting that paying $500 for seats gives you the right to be a jackass without penalty?

Why don’t women report/speak?

Sometimes a monster like Nassar gets what what they deserve.

I wish I believed in hell, because there sure as fuck isn’t any justice in this life.

I fucking hate fat shaming. I’ve struggled with my weight all my life and it has taken years to get comfortable with my body. Seeing shit like this makes me want to crawl into a hole. And I’m not even that big. I feel to the depths of my soul for women who are larger than me.

Don’t forget gaslighting them when caught, using mealy-mouthed doubletalk because they’ve learned that as long as they say the right words after the fact, all will be forgiven.“Oh, the official chapter didn’t sanction that behavior!” (As they all giggle behind their sleeves about how clever and funny they are). 

Oooh! I got some! How about not having to worry about that the guy hitting on me is only doing so in hopes to sleep with me so he can win a contest with his frat bros!

I was already feeling bad enough about my body tonight and seeing this makes me want to stop eating from here on out.
