I'm going to take a quote from Dave Chappelle here.

We're supporting through our SILENCE.

Those of you who think these social media statements from coaches are meaningless ... here’s evidence that they aren’t.

Regardless of what you, I, or anyone else thinks, these kids want to feel like they’re being heard.

Flat screen TVs on deep discount tonight in Gainesville?

Bookmarking this for the next time a Jort wearing phaggit mentions the Justin Fields transfer because of muh racism in Athens.

Truth. And yet so many want to silence them.

Silence? No. I think more people need to react with an eye roll and the words, "moving on..."

That’s another opinion.
And you’re certainly welcome to it.

Then, when they get agitated because they think I'm not listening, my response is, "Oh, I'm listening, but all I hear is white noise."

Well I’ll be brutally honest I really don’t give a shite what some white 20 year old has to say on the matter- one way or the other.

At least this gal is black and possibly has a valid opinion/experience.

So yes, in a nutshell, I think the opinions of the young are far less important, less meaningful, less wise etc. in general.

College sports teams should comment on ALL murders, every day, all day. I need to know their opinions about pretty much all crime. That's what they need to be tweeting about.

There have been multiple murders today, even several interracial murders. Yet these sports Twitter accounts pretend like none of that stuff even happens.

Their silence is deafening.

Who is she talking about? Her team? The coaches? Who is saying racist shite and asking her to suck it up?

She sounds like one of those types that lets you know she's black when you meet her and your supposed to notice and acknowledge her blackness and kiss her feet.

Is it that hard to figure out before she speaks?

So many people in this thread upset about racists being called out.

Wonder why?

I’m not calling anyone in this thread a “racist.”

Each of us has our own experiences and opinions.
I’ve just personally come to the conclusion—for me—that I need to hit my mute button and listen to what others have to say ... whether I agree with them or not.
