Just seems real odd anyone would randomly select a race and act like it was crazy-talk they’d pick a school based on academics. Like I said, it’s not off to you and that’s ok. It was very odd to me as I know lots of former players, even African American players, that based their decision on a school based and academics. Maybe you and hunt ducks haven’t had that experience or even knew it was possible.
I’m here to say it’s very possible and happens all the time. :thumb:
Ok, since you "know" lots of former "African American" players, ask them if they think it's racist. Have you run it by them? Didn't think so. They would probably be more questioning of a Wokester White guy with Tender feelings tip toeing around the subject like they are made of glass.
Gotta love that "African American" part also... I lived in Virginia, 90 percent Black. In my first week, I asked a group of people I worked with if they preferred "African American" or "Black"... The first guy said "I prefer Leroy, but I have never been to Africa, my Pops never been to Africa and my Granddaddy never been to Africa. My Ass is Black".
Maybe you should just ignore your tender feelings that might not even exist to them. Maybe they could care less. Maybe they would be offended.
If someone called me a "Powder Honkie", I would probably laugh because I don't have tender feelings about every little thing.
Again, Hunt can defend himself, but nothing he said would assign him a White Hood.
Man all sorts of assumptions here. You don’t know my race or who I’ve talked to.
Like I’ve said in the beginning, if you don’t think “black people don’t pick schools because of academics” (because that’s what he was saying) comes across as racist, ( you know because he specified a race) that’s ok. I wasn’t trying to change your mind. You’re the one who chimed in.
As stated, if I’m “woke” because I don’t think it’s surprising at all that black kids choose schools because of academics, I’m fine with that title. :lol:
