Seriously I don't know why you are entertaining these dudes. None of them would ever have a sit down face to face, man to man (nothing physical) and say these things. The keyboard gives them power to say how they really feel or just troll the hell out the topic.

I'd gladly sit down and talk about it.

So lazy black players play in the SWAC lol, I bet this is coming from a MF that couldn't catch a ball if you held a gun to his head. FYI some of the best players to ever play in the NFL have been from that lazy conference of AA. Damn just imagine what if Walter Payton and Jerry Rice had not been lazy smh.

cybergangsters funny because i've never had these things said to me in person but always see them online. Posted on 11/9/15 at 9:50 am to kiNupe5
I've know quite a few guys that have played in the SWAC. A lot of them were pretty lazy once they got to college. I also actually took a class at Alabama State. It was one of the 3 easiest classes I took in college.

OP, I appreciate your sentiments and understand why you're frustrated. I can see myself feeling the same way if I were in your shoes. It's absurd and intellectually dishonest for any white southerner to pretend that dumb, ignorant racism doesn't still happen. However, institutionally, I don't think race relations even resemble what they were like even 20 years ago. A lot of educated, reasonable white males are frustrated with the media, the protests, and PC culture that is systematically waging war on intellectual honesty in this country. I think this Mizzou episode, and the debacle at Ole Miss over a state flag, is emblematic of the current toxic political climate.

Stereotypes do not equal racism. Stereotypes will never end because it's instinct to judge someone at a glance. You can also control the stereotypes put on you for the most part.
There are people that prove that stereotypes don't always apply but the stereotypes didn't come from thin air. An exception to a stereotype doesn't prove a stereotype wrong.
Racism is when you hate someone for the color of their skin. That is mostly dead. It will never completely die because nothing ever does.

This is not the definition that is generally used in political/academic circles. Racism is the denial of equal dignity and respect based on race. It goes much, much deeper than "hating someone for their skin color". It must also include all the actions we take and beliefs we hold about another race being inferior (bot conscious and subconscious beliefs). And it is FAR from dead. It may be hard to prove when it occurs, but that doesn't mean it is no longer a problem.

Hatred would be the basis for why they would be denied equal dignity and respect.
If it's so hard to prove then how can you know for a fact that it is FAR from dead?
I've lived in the south my whole life. This "racism" (which is really just stereotyping) that everybody talks about is mostly based on what you wear and the quality of things you have. A guy walks up to me in baggy pants and a oversized T-shirt and I will think certain things based on past experiences from people who dress like that. Does that mean he is like all other people who wear those type of clothes? No. But it's more likely he does. And he will be treated like the people he makes himself similar too until I see he's not that type of person. A black guy wearing these type of clothes are put in the same stereotype as a white guy wearing those type of clothes.
A black guy wears a suit and I think the same thing as a white guy wearing a suit.
Bringing up race at every turn only builds resentment.

Shut the frick up. Black people have no more fricking plite that white peoples do in this day and age. I'm so sick of black people fricking complaining about EVERYTHING but then a large portion of their people remain uneducated, government dependent, lazy, rude, and just plain a drain a society. You know why white people have "privilege?" Because we earned it and still earn it by carrying the burden that a majority of the black community continues to put on society.

No, that assumption is why it remains prevalent. There are all sorts of beliefs and actions that come NOT FROM HATRED, but simply the way we view the world based on how we were raised. You can claim that you see a black man in a suit the same as a white man, but in most cases that is far from true I can't disprove your claim, but statistics clearly show that if you are what you say, you are in a tiny minority. Most of us remain profoundly influenced by our views on race. Some of us have come to the point in life where we are willing to challenge our assumptions. Many have not.

The problem, too many people crying fake racism. I don't think most people even know what the word means today.

Blacks are typically more racist, but you know this already if you're as intelligent as you sound.
Clearance Buggs(local radio talk in BR) said it perfectly, racism showed it's ugly head when 95% of blacks voted for Obama. Just on the fact that Obama black, Btw Clearance is black.
I hate Obama, does that mean I'm racist? But I love Ben Carson, so, still racist? Maybe I should vote for Hillary just because she's white, because that's not racist it seems. But I won't because she is a criminal, and Bernie is a socialist.

They voted on party lines, not race.
Check the numbers from the previous presidential election.

That's not racism either. The word has been rendered useless.
