This text has been floating around MySpace and probably the entire Internet, I've seen it here and there, but I guess it's my turn to share it. There's some epithets, but there's actually a really good point behind it: reverse racism is still racism. You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey", "Casper" and you think it's OK. But if I call you nigger, towelhead, sand-nigger, camel jockey, beaner, wetback, saltwater nigger, gook, or chink it's not ok because you call me a racist. You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live? You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.

The NFL is essential a giant country club, it should govern itself, with it's own rules.
ReplyDeleteafter more thought, I changed my mind. Especially hearing that the kid didn't finish high school. This is my final opinion. High school diploma a must, just as most NORMAL jobs in the US. Also, I don't think minors should be endorsing alcohol. Since Budwieser is such a big deal to the NFL, I don't think minors should be associated with the endorsements. There, I said it.
