The White People v. Black People issue in Sports will NEVER die!

Althea Gibson, Arthur Ashe and Lee Elder would like a word with you.

 

Nobody's talking about you.
What I'm saying is that the notion that a badly drawn argument does affirmative damage to a position in the eyes of people who might otherwise support it is belied by the fact that there's a substantial number of people who wouldn't support the position no matter who made the argument and are just looking for a handy excuse that doesn't make them look like the enablers of racism, which they claim no longer exists.

 

Come on now, Lee Elder was no Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods could have his own country right now.
Plus, those 3 played a long time ago. Where were all the black golfers and tennis players in between them? And other than Ashe, were any of them as popular around the world as Serena, Venus, and Tiger?

 

Once again your posts are like a camel toe on Hillary Clinton.

BIG FUCKING DEAL, it's still a race based decision to root for them.

 

You said "ever." Just pointing that out.

 

he's anti semantic

 

Fen, let's be honest. The people to whom you are referring don't figure into this equation. Since nothing's going to convince them there's a real problem that needs to be addressed, why refer to them?

But arguments like Scoop's and Sportsbra's actually do damage, as you indicated. It's those arguments you have to worry about.

 

Ill tell you why its a BIG FUCKING DEAL you ignorant fuck.
Its because white people haven't had to deal with all the shit that black people have had to deal in the history of this country.

 

So that makes their prejudice OK?

 

It makes it natural.

 

Maybe you should read a history book.

There was a long time in this country where if you were Irish or Italian, there were signs that said don't apply for work.

 

A lot of immigrant Europeans were oppressed when they first arrived.
