I called your liberal ass out on your inconsistencies yes, but did I disrespect you the way you are talking to me in this response? NO! I would beat you the fuck down and wouldnt need 5 other guys to do it. Talking to a bitch like you is just a waste of my time.
    Whatever....Your first response to me was filled with disrespect. We had a civil debate until you jumped in with your hatred laced post.

          Personally ... I think we disect everything WAAAAY too much at times. I hate how the race card is used every time a prominent figure is accused of something. It drives me crazy to be honest. This is a big story because of the stature of the accused and the crime at hand. I don't think the color means much. At least it doesn't to me. Hell, when something happens to a white guy i never hear racism. Why not?

          I think white guys are covered by the media just as much as a guy of a different race/color when they do something wrong or stupid. We had to hear about Tony Larussa falling asleep at a red light for about 2 weeks. It is just overkill no matter who it is (IMO).

          When i sit here and think of the 4 major sports and college as well. I try to think off hand at the arrests and crimes by athletes. I'll be honest in saying alot of things come to mind. When trying to remember bad things that athletes have done, i can quickly name several black guys and things they have done like Jayson Williams, Rae Carruth, Ron Artest, OJ Simpson, Mike Vick, Pacman Jones, Ray Lewis, Tank Johnson, Mike Tyson and many others. When i think of white athletes who have been in the headlines for similiar crimes ... I honestly struggle to think of any/many. Most are like LaRussa or like Mark Chmura or guys like Brett Myers. Most of the white guys i can think of either did things to themself or things that didn't cause as much death and destruction.

          I highly doubt that white athletes are doing the things that the colored athletes above have done and it's just not reported. If they were doing it, we would know.

          I by no means consider myself a racist but why can't i think of more things that the white athlete have done wrong when it comes so easily for me to name the black ones? Is it selective memory on my part? My head profiling the black man?? Or is it just the way it is and the black athletes DO put themselves in a bad place way more often than the white one???

          I don't want to offend anyone here but i think alot of people who think the way they do about blacks comes from the "Thug" persona the black athletes bring on themselves seemingly 5 times as often as the white athlete does. I don't know, maybe there are 5 times as many black athletes as white in sports and that would explain it but i don't think so???

          O.K. i'm done.
