GunnerBill Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I don't think "thug" is the racially motivated term in what she said (though it is true that I am unexposed to any additional inferences that word may have that relate directly to American social history) the racially motivated bit is the comparison to an animal. I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that it was simply a clumsy, unthinking, use of language from someone who was in the heat of the moment dealing with the prospect of a loved one suffering serious pain and if she has since amended her tweet then I afford her that benefit. Intentional or not though, you liken an African American individual to an animal you cannot have too many complaints when people label you a racist.

Intentional or not though, you liken an African American individual to an animal you cannot have too many complaints when people label you a racist. Yeah as a white person you have to be cognizant of it and avoid such references. In defense of her though calling an ill behaved man an "animal" is such a common go-to for women that it seems almost like an involuntary female reaction. Women of all color do it about men of all color. Why? I think the intention is to cut deep........and perhaps it would be much more effective on another female?...... but it has little or no impact on men whatsoever. It's an utterly discounted insult.

3rdand12 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Nine weeks deep into the season and here we are discussing the careful and precision craft of testicle removal. GO BILLS ! And we elected trump too. Coincidence ? Sherman is a crafty man. I am not going to get into the psychology. But jboys was not far off. Although i do not want him on MY team. I recently heralded his intelligence here. But even the highest intelligence quotient does not make up for an malicious bent in personality.. The best serial killers never get caught. Because they know the game better than the ones trying to catch them. Yes, i just made that comparison Mr Sherman. Autism gone awry. Thug does not nearly describe a carefully calculated approach to the environment he lives in. She short changed him ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmichii Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 It wasn't just that he deliberately launched himself at carpenter's knees but the fact that afterwards he walked away all smug and did that little shrug like he had zero respect for another player.

r00tabaga Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 So she apologizes, didn't need to, and he is a prick about it??? I still do not see how racism had anything to do with this. I think HE is racist for "bringing up" racism. If you say anything these days, someone, somewhere will find something in what you said that COULD be like 0.01% chance of being racist and then run with it. So sad.

racecitybills Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Unreal how the saps in the media have spun a dirty play by an attention starved sympathy queen into a racism thing. Never get between Sherman and a reporter. He will take you out worse than he did carpenter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Pick a better battle than calling a black guy an animal that should be castrated as the ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN BE TWISTED argument I just don't agree here and i always respect your POV. But i think one has to reach a good bit to get there. Why does anyone think when speaking of a farm animal (beast ) Bible) one thinks black?? this stuff amazes me. I am not religious and hardly prejudiced. I just do not get the " pick the ball up and run with it" on Ms Carpenters extreme comment. She was pissed. so what? I am too. The play was BS and filthy. he should be fined twice for that game. damn the rules. where is Johnny Scissor hands when i need him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Sherman is an idiot who plays with no class. Player's wives who go at other players on twitter look like classless idiots. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 So many people here are ignorant, which is part of the problem in today's society. No reason to try and change people though, I accept the ignorance and move on with my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
