Everyone knows that the best celebrators get the endorsements. Not the best players

Him pulling the race card out of nowhere did it for me. Tired of that BS these days.

You do his "race card pull" was a reaction to all of the hate filled, racially charged tweets directed at the Panthers organization don't you?

Because he represents everything wrong with today's young people, and none of the good.

And that's just what he shows on the outside. The pressure he has on himself has to be insane.

I lived in Indianapolis for a couple years and once you get out of the city most places are 90-95% white and it's way more racist than a lot of places in the south.

Although to be fair, I grew up in the Greater Birmingham area, and I've been to small rural southern towns where even the black people were racist against black people

Whether you admit it or not, it's true. You likely have direct relatives who don't consider themselves racist but in reality, they inherently are. It's just how things work.

My grandfather was one of the sweetest men I've known. Deacon at the church, non profit board member, etc etc. but I have vivid memories of full blown racist shite coming out of his mouth and he didn't even realize it. Same with my dad and brother.

Cam has been through more as a black man than any of us white folks will ever know. It's a "you don't know what you don't know" scenario


maybe his dad, probably his grandfather, definitely his great grandfather. cam is nothing but a pampered bitch. bless his heart.

eta: regarding the op, i dislike ben more than cam. but ben doesn't get nearly the play on here that cam does. i guess i'm just a racist of all races.

But it has a big influence. There are racists everywhere, it's just not a part of the 'accepted' culture everywhere.

White folks like to pretend they know what it's like to be black in America. Especially in the days of social media. I've read so much crazy racist bullshite on Twitter, IG, Facebook etc

Yet if you're a successful black man, none of that matters. Life is easy!

I do agree that there is an ingrained racism that exist in a lot of the south. That also doesnt mean that someone is a full blown racist because they have some racial tendencies ingrained in them.

Your statement is bull shite. "Racial tendencies" are within everyone's DNA, but most have been able to subdue them or make them an insignificant factor of their psyche.....and you'll find as many, if not more, racists in other parts of the country.

So I'm guessing all of these racially charged tweets occurred on day 0? Also isn't Russell Wilson black too or he doesn't count?

Basically this. There are good arguments to be made that racism is an evolutionary trait. Distrust of enemies, basically.

That doesn't make it right in the modern world, but racism isn't some random thing that is new and specific to the American South.

Cam Newton doesn't like being hated? Then stop being a sore loser, cry baby, piece of shite that hides his true colors behind well orchestrated PR.



Oh 'Barners and Cammy Cam don't like it when I say that?


Well too bad they don't make band aids for feelings.

I mean, sorry man, but you're wrong. It has a lot to do with where you live. You honestly think small southern towns aren't going to have more racist tendencies than a metro area? Because I can keep citing examples. I graduated with 90 kids in a town with one caution light and have since lived in multiple metropolitan cities and 2 other small towns. It's painfully obvious.
