The Poojer Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 On a side note, that race yesterday was so exciting, the ending especially, to have the #3 finisher spinning across the line. Damn was that fun to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I return to offer my Mea Culpa for my earlier post in this thread. As multiple posters pointed out it was pretty damn hypocritical of me to call for a waiting for judgement, when I had posted a skeptical reply right at the beginning of the thread. I have no good excuse. I reacted to the post from the Dean, that made assumptions about me that weren't remotely true and I replied too quickly with an ill-thought out mess. Racial hoaxes have been all too frequent in the news lately and I would still like to see the investigation go forward before innocent people, on any side, are declared guilty. Thank you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well.............without trying to draw myself back in, There are three posts on the first page that accuse white southerners of being "responsible" Which is fine, this IS a message board, but I don't believe that your reply holds true.

They should do that For drivers who come back after horrific crashes. Let the investigation proceed. About 90 percent If these are people drawing attention to them selves or their cause.

Nonsense. Yours was the FIRST response in the thread. No accusation against Southerners was made by the OP or ANY other poster in the first page. One poster suggested Confederate Flag waving Nascar fans, and another the historic white culture of the sport, make this less than surprising. (My mishmash translation. I'm in a hurry) 1 hour ago, Wacka said: Never repaid it was. They should do that For drivers who come back after horrific crashes.

Let's assume some are doing it for real support. Some due to peer pressure. Some for "attention" (though I'm not sure what kind of attention one of the many participants is going to get). But how do you decide who is who, and then calculate the percentages? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s odd to chime in immediately after the initial post believing that it is the 1 out of 50. That’s just a bad look. Don’t be a victim shamer.

Spend a few minutes in the mirror asking if that’s the guy you want to be? What always gets me shaking my head is when people who I've never heard complain about discrimination against African Americans, Women, LGBT. etc get ALL worked up about some event of "reverse discrimination". I say (or think), "Seriously, you're worried because this ONE white person didn't get into a school, while a person from one of these historically under-represented groups with a slightly lower SAT score got in? Where you complaining about the bigger, more ubiquitous discrimination before this?" They ignore the BIG issue and most of the cases, and focusing on the oddball minutiae instead. The outliers. The same way a few here approach the science and medicine surrounding Covid 19. And for the record, I'm not referring to B-Man specifically as I don't even know the person and I won't use a couple sloppy remarks to label someone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
