If a white guy can't understand why it's racist he should thank God he was

Never on the receiving end of the prejudice that comes with that term. It shows he lacks awareness - even if it's honest ignorance - and one would hope once he becomes educated on the matter he'd show more respect for someone else to who it is a significant slight.

I can understand Westbrook's side more and more.. This is gross IMO.

Lol. I do not understand Westbrook's side

3/12/19 9:34pm

I don't think I'd like a white man yelling "Boy" at me as a black man.

HingleMcCringleberry

3/12/19 9:36pm

Calling a black man "boy" is super racist.

ironman1315

Really? You are clueless. A white man calling a black man boy

Why Would you understand it? You think it’s funny

3/13/19 7:43am

Or it's simply he didn't know. Why is it OK for you to be derogatory?

Weird how that video is from last year. I don't remember ever seeing it until

3/12/19 9:35pm

TIC, right? Westbrook is going crazy. Did you see him lecture the little boy in

3/12/19 9:35pm

Westbrooke is always the victim. He is never seeking any of this. That's why

He dances before every single game. You think that's him provoking fans? Yikes.

You think he's not going to get a reaction by grinding right there 2 feet from

No, I honestly don't. Russ does this EVERY SINGLE GAME.

HingleMcCringleberry

3/12/19 10:14pm

Alcohol doesn’t excuse a fan from his behavior or the words he says

3/13/19 7:44am

“Grinding” LOL

I just realozed.its not racism..not intentional most likely anywsy

3/13/19 10:49pm

Possible intent but not an excuse.

StalwartBraveTrue

3/13/19 10:56pm

Actually, IMO, quite literally an excuse..since intent and context are what

3/14/19 1:13am

And one person’s context is vastly different from another.

StalwartBraveTrue

3/14/19 2:14pm

Yes. Let that sink in for a bit.line i said. Even a smile. Revisit Covington

3/14/19 3:42pm

Don’t get me started on modern news/society’s need to dramatize simple issues.

StalwartBraveTrue

3/15/19 9:25am

You seriously blame Russ for that? He didn’t do anything wrong, certainly

3/12/19 10:11pm

that was actually a composed reaction. the right reaction. he lectured the dad.

ag4cougs

3/13/19 5:21am

Russ was totally in the right in that instance. Be upset that the kid’s dad just

And yet there will be some who say "what's wrong with that?", either completely

If a white guy can't understand why it's racist, it's not racist.

No one can understand the true plight of a CBer unless they read and then boycott the Trib. That's the only real

Ha, so good.

3/13/19 3:07pm

I understand why that word can be racist depending on the context.

3/13/19 2:15am

Why would you take that chance?!

3/13/19 8:38am

I wouldn’t. But there’s plenty of people who would have no idea

3/13/19 9:55pm

Is he gender fluid? Notice how he was dancing by the water cooler but when

More and more, I’m realizing more people in Utah are really ignorant. Some really uneducated

The Dude Abides

3/12/19 9:39pm

I am learning I am very ignorant on this stuff. I say "boy" all the time.

I didn't think what was said last night to Westbrook was racist

Mmmm...sweeping generalizations. The sign of the TRULY educated.

andrewg3

3/13/19 9:34am

Where is the sweeping generalization in “Some”? Haha

The Dude Abides

3/13/19 9:43am

It's in your use of the word "Utah." An annoying fan at a sporting event doesn't

andrewg3

3/13/19 2:38pm

I feel pretty comfortable saying there are "some" really uneducated people. I think it avoids any

The Dude Abides

3/13/19 2:51pm

You should have just said "some people." There are dumb people everywhere.

andrewg3

3/13/19 3:00pm

But there are multiple players now that have accused Jazz fans of this.

In this day and age people get their undies in a wad over smiles

3/13/19 10:59pm

Yikes

HingleMcCringleberry

3/13/19 11:06pm

Context certainly matters. And in this case the fan misread the context in

StalwartBraveTrue

3/13/19 11:57pm

I know the guy who took the video, he says its the same fan as last night.

Seems bodies are slightly different, but, it is possible.

HingleMcCringleberry

3/12/19 9:49pm

Unbelievable that some are still defending and denying this behavior. Truly

3/12/19 10:08pm

Yeah, lets go threaten some women!

cougaman

3/12/19 10:13pm

It's entirely possible to say that Russ should have handled it better

ironman1315

3/12/19 10:17pm

Your eyes are finally opened. Good on Russell Westbrook.

messi

3/13/19 3:12pm

I'm not sure you can talk Hingle with your over-the-top End Zone celebrations

3/12/19 10:11pm

I only ever pumped twice. Ref was blind!

HingleMcCringleberry

3/12/19 10:32pm

The more i listen the more i think the fan is applauding Westbrook dancing

3/13/19 10:07pm

Same. But I get why RW didn’t like it.

3/13/19 10:38pm

People want to be offended...some more than others.

3/13/19 11:20pm

Yep. And never more than right now.

3/13/19 11:33pm

How can you defend racism like this?!

cougaman

3/13/19 10:59pm

By it not being.

3/13/19 11:18pm

I completely agree that this is out of line and inappropriate.

No, nope. Not with the fake southern accent. He sounded like one of the slave
