badassgixxer05 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Only in this country could you tell a person with brown skin, that they have brown skin, and be called a racist. I'm going to just start imagining African Americans are purple. Its way easier that way... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 He should be suspended for making a laughable ridiculous theory as to why Jackson is good a the fake. Without the "skin color" comment....it's just dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine you play the person not the ball, but at some point you have to know where the ball is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, by all means--ask all the black LBs if they struggle to see the ball due to Jackson's dark skin....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BehindTheWoodshed Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Just now, Mr. WEO said: They don't want to get punched out...straight up. Do you really think he would get angry at that question? Maybe I am naive, but I don't think he would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark uniforms , dark football, Lamar is an African American so obviously his hands are darker then let’s say Josh Allen’s , 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) is the guy a racist? I don’t know him but it seems like he wasn’t trying to be racist. Fairly innocent mistake but it was a mistake. Talking about someone’s dark skin is always going to not great. it’s a game suspension and he will be back the following week. Learn and move forward.

I agree. There should be a uniform standard of empathy and an ability to step outside of one’s own head to consider just for a second how words and actions may be hurtful to others. Instead, we get the old “well then, why can’t *I* say *this*?” as if that makes any damn sense at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, people should also not go out of their way to find something offensive in other people's words and actions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
