What was the point of him saying he had a record and knew he was going to jail? Serious question. You didn’t say it but what did u insinuate?
Perhaps it explains why the guy fought and ran? I didn't read that comment as excusing his killing, but I try to give people the benefit of the doubt most times.
If you look for racism in everything, you're probably going to find it, even if it doesn't exist.
Aunt Jemima is being cancelled, as well as the UVA logo because the handles on the swords have finger grips in them and something about a serpentine wall. Because literally everything is racist.
And can we please disagree without calling each other morons because we're all adults here? I'm *this* close to pulling the plug on the entire site because I'm losing money each month and I'm finding it not worth the headache anymore.

The UVA thing seems awfully brash. But Aunt Jemima — according to Quaker Oates — is in fact based on a racist representation of “the help” from a slave owner or something.
Actually surprised it lasted this long if that info is factual.

Why not just address the douche who’s come back and fought with literally every member on the site.
I'd like to clarify that I don't care what Quaker Oats does, but I find it nothing more than corporate virtue signaling.

Don't forget Gundy almost got cancelled for wearing a news network t-shirt (albeit a dumb one that Trump loves to tweet about and is 100% biased right). 2020 is really stupid, and you still have these hippy clowns causing havoc in Seattle and Portland (Paris and London too). A little glimpse into the future if we continue to let people who feel entitled get their way. They stopped having anything to do with Floyd about 2 weeks ago.

He said not to call people names, and you call me a douche. Justin—please ban!
And I would like to point out that I didn’t even call anyone anything. I was called a moron for discussing a topic. Plz also ban jmog! Tysm

Aunt Jemima is based off a very awful stereotype and Minstrel show type. It needs to go. I am also shocked it lasted this long. It is not virtue signaling. It is something they should have ton years ago.
I'll add if anyone does get the chance to see the African American museum in DC, the Minstrel show portion of the museum is pretty damning and whoa.
The UVA one does seem like a stretch. But, sure.

A statue of UNLV's rebel mascot is being cancelled and the school's use of the Running Rebels is under evaluation.

I agree with your overall sentiment but Gundy’s thing was just so dumb and unnecessary. You put a shirt on in the morning and best case scenario no one really notices it. Worst case you offend people most important to your job, which he managed to do. Just poor judgement on his part. Also, prominent college coach or not, everyone knows that network is trash so why even support it in the first place.

The current iteration of Aunt Jemima looks like a normal, older black woman. The old, old version? Sure, that was pretty bad.

It is also the name...Aunt Jemima is in the same ballpark as say Uncle Tom or any other Minstrel Show type.
Is Uncle Ben problematic as well?

Probably....yeah that Uncle and Auntie is linked to that slavery/ Jim Crow era naming. Same meaning as say calling an African American, "boy"

Very dumb on his part. You coach a team with a lot of black guys and are in a situation where you're looked at as a leader and wear a shirt sponsoring a TV station that refers to BLM as a farce during a time when black people are very upset about racism/brutality. At minimum, completely tone-deaf. At least, things have progressed in a productive fashion with stud player calling him out publicly and then more private talks between he and the team have happened and the typical "need to be better" sort of spiel afterwards.

Save Vandy and UF, the entire SEC can be cancelled due to them being educational jokes.

Looks like he got sucker-punched by someone much younger and fitter than him. Probably caught by surprise, but also probably not capable of defending himself in the situation, anyways.
