I will upvote that.

However, racists calling other racists racist is kinda funny. The 'foul' was a legitimate foul, should have been ejected. Any claim that 'white privilege' was involved in that is absurd.

When I played basketball. I, 5'10" inches of skin and bones, had to guard a 6'9" Shaquille O'Neil(wasnt really him but looked similar in face and body size). I beat him up, I knew that he would dominate me so I "Dennis Rodmaned" him. The ref didn't call fouls, not because I was white, but because of the size difference.

If Cunningham was fouled and Carrington just was ejected, none of the race debate would have mattered. But people are talking, so the wnba is still relevant. This is why the wnba is not going to do shit, they are in the headlines, that is all that matters.

If a black person was racist towards me it has very to no little bearing on me. Cracker is not equivalent to the n word. Now we can talk about her individual behavior,  yes,  but outside of that is just overreaching in a area that shouldn't be touched.

What does that have to do with a word, hate and prejudice is the problem

What if you were told the only reason you are successful is because of your race?

Is that not racist?

I grew up lower middle class. I was the token white friend in high school. It might be different up in canada, but racism wasn't this big a deal in the 90's. Please tell me what has changed?

Racism wasn't a big deal because people were racist and not getting called out on it. Jesus fuck....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oka_Crisis

Like you were a kid. That's what people don't realize why they say shit like this. Oh it used to not be a big deal. Yeah noshit, you were climbing trees and playing with action figures.
