Obviously racism is wayyyyy more problematic; however, he allowed some guy to call him "silly billy," and he didn't even blink an eye. That is a fire-able offense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was saying that fully sarcastically as an example of the outome of systemic racismand income inequality that shouldn't be a problem (and I don't believe it would be a problem). Issue is, it's so easy to not get that context in a text...this is a situation where you would need to see other texts and comments, especially because that is pretty right on in terms of satire that aligns with what truly needs to change systemically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChans Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 15 minutes ago, dave mcbride said: It is part of a thread, and Fromm allegedly says that guns are good (not a problem), that he should be allowed to get suppressors (silencers), and that they should make suppressors expensive enough so that only elite white people could get them. The response is basically "Wtf, you think you're elite? Look at your profile picture." If legit - and I am not saying it is - it's super-problematic for the obvious reasons, but also because Fromm has painted himself as Bible-quoting devout Christian whose hobby is praying. (I'm not making the last part up). https://sportsspectrum.com/sport/football/2019/08/30/georgia-qb-jake-fromm-follows-god-embraces-pressure-as-he-chases-elusive-title/ It sounds like it was a joke. oh no, he said guns are good!

Bermuda Triangle Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 If true, move on from him. I'm sure that'll be an unpopular sentiment, but so be it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part about making the silencers expensive so only rich whites could afford them is what will bring him down, if this conversation is actually true.

Again, difference in a joke vs satire. Agree, not a tasteful joke...if it is satire used as a metaphor to show general things through a single example taken to an extreme...and proving a point very clearly that charging so much for supressors that essentially only elite white people are able to get them, and that is largely what is happening with say a college education, where the vaaaast majority of people graduate with student debt...it's a pretty solid satirical sarcastic comment...that said, I have no idea if that's what he was doing.
