I'll crawl out on a limb and say your sarcasm meter is broken and the point of his post sailed over your head.

I'm not sure what parts of the south you've lived in if you think that sounds like sarcasm at all

You realize that "white people" aren't the only people that have ever enslaved another race, right?

You realize Africans aren't the only people that have ever been enslaved, right?

Honest question. How long should white people have to pay for past transgressions? How long can a race point the finger?

I'm gonna crawl out on a limb and say that you're probably a racist and that you like NASCAR and country music and you love Duck Dynasty.

I’m sure my black sister-in-law likes Duck Dynasty. I know for a fact my bi-racial niece loves her some Luke Bryan.

And speaking for other white people.. just stfu about how we're being persecuted. I'm pretty sure that not a single white person out there would trade races in the United States because white people have it so bad

I never once said white people have it bad. I said the liberal media and reverse racism make it impossible to move from the past. We’ve become the target. History is full of events that has led to cementing racism as a standard in society. How else does someone move on from racism? We are reminded of it every day. You know, BET, Black Colleges, Black Scholarships, Black History Month, etc. I refuse to accept responsibility for the actions of past generations.

If you define racist as someone who despises liberals, and thinks they are scum, low life leeches, then yes I am. Wake up it’s 2015. I’ll let scum sucking liberals like you harp on the past, while I look to the future. It’s bright, and there isn’t a color, just human beings. So frick you, and your agenda.

But for the sake of the OP, let’s stay on topic.

I know you're reacting but accomplishments don't erase wrongs. However, I'd be surprised if the moon landing was a solely what endeavor. It's hardly relevant to this case tho.

Of course black Americans aren't the only one enslaved nor were they the only people ever to be enslave. But other people's wrong are largely irrelevant - white folks, particularly wealthy whites, benefited from the system of slavery and enriched themselve a great deal.

But again, I really don't like this line of discussion for several reasons. This should be about the case. Even the racial and racialized arguments regarding what one of the convicted may or may not have sad (we have no transcript/no evidence other than one sheriff that a racial slur/comment was made. Keep in mind the original info was that it was a slur - the whole slavery, bitch thing is new and the first time anything like that has been touted. Even so, until someone OTHER than Clay Travis gives us the content it's hearsay and could be very very wrong.

Although, I don't doubt that a racial remark might've been made, these alleged comments just don't sound like something a dumbass rapist would say unless Vandenburg told him to "say something about slavery!" and that was the best he could do. He could also be a racist frickstick. But until we know more on the racial angle, everyone really needs to wait until we do. The allegation will come out as that one dude alleged it early on.

dont call college athletes 18-22 kids, they are grown and know right from wrong

Well. After reading this entire thread. I'm sick to my stomach. There is no lot of hell deep enough for the sociopath Vandenburg. Now I feel like I need to watch Disney movies or something to cleanse my brain of the images this thread created, and hope I avoid nightmares.

How absolutely horrific, I hope this girl never remembers the details.

We will never know if Franklin was involved in an attempted cover-up or to what extent. Awful.

Do yourself a favor. Educate yourself on how Muslim women are treated, not just in the Arab world, but especially Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and Indonesia. Start with the ritual genital mutilation of women. Then look at the use of brutal gang rape by village councils as punishment for fornication. Then next time you start to post, take the time to rub a few brain cells together. Maybe...just maybe...you'll avoid looking like a fricking dumbass.
