Don’t you dare say anything about China though!

He was. Some red neck called him “boy”. Clearly racist

Jdoc

You're right. I forgot about that incident. I was thinking of the knees comment.

Hypnotoad

How is that racist? Seriously wondering.

The use of the term “boy” was and is commonly used

I grew up in San Bernardino, my high school was 30% black

Tone matters in this case

Tone and context. If you have African American friends and

Jdoc

BTW, my black friends like to be called black

cougarblue

10/22/19 10:31pm

Yep. I agree with that. Both terms are fine in my book. Now,

Jdoc

Ok, cool. Also, I’m 46% Native American, 2% Mexican

cougarblue

10/22/19 10:49pm

What would you like to be called? Hey, why don’t

Jdoc

Please call me Mexinjun

Also, did a little research for you. Now educate yourself. Knowledge is freedom.

Thanks sir, I’ll let my fam/friends know too

cougarblue

10/22/19 11:04pm

The fact you didn’t know that calling an adult black male

Jdoc

10/22/19 11:06pm

Only based on life experience. I’d venture to guess that I know

cougarblue

10/22/19 11:07pm

Like I said, start calling black men “boy” that you don’t know

Jdoc

10/22/19 11:09pm

I’ll tell you what I’ll see what my friends think tomorrow

cougarblue

10/22/19 11:11pm

Nope. What you need to do is go up to a few black

Jdoc

10/22/19 11:16pm

I’m not saying the term isn’t racist, I’m just saying based on actual experience

cougarblue

What you need to do is go up to some white strangers and say...

I thought the redneck told him to get on his knees and some kid said boy

Little Britches

10/22/19 10:23pm

No. A grown adult male called him “boy” multiple times.

Jdoc

10/22/19 10:24pm

The reason BYU fans may not realize these things is because they didn't go to Redneck U. They weren't subjected to that

I went to BYU as well. Saw racism and ignorance at

Jdoc

Now you are making claims I don't think you can back up...

777

10/22/19 10:28pm

Because he's a Yewt fan. They see it all the time on the hill.

John Doe

10/22/19 10:30pm

The dude was caught on camera calling him “boy”. Clearly racist.

mobomanjoe

10/22/19 10:31pm

I've seen the footage. The question is how do we know if he was a racist or

If you did not deduct from the video that the guy

Jdoc

10/22/19 10:39pm

I think it's fair to say that his intent was to belittle Westbrooke, no doubt,

Maybe you’re right. But the punishment fit the crime.

I don't disagree. Ignorance can't be an excuse. Comes with a price. For the

He was definitely a racist. Possibly a redneck. He knew

Jdoc

10/22/19 10:34pm

That's quite the assumption.. I'm just curious though, you

777

10/22/19 10:40pm

Your definition of redneck is incorrect. See below.

From Wiki...

“Not exclusively applied to white Americans...”

Jdoc

10/22/19 11:18pm

Look, it's a derogatory term. I just find it odd you have no problem using it

777

10/22/19 11:20pm

Yes, I am white and am racist against my own people

Jdoc

10/22/19 11:25pm

Yes, Bill Maher has a good video for you. But it's full of bad words and I can't

Just watched it. Hilarious. And he makes some really

Jdoc

10/22/19 11:38pm

You've been level headed here. Good to have a discussion that ends on

777

10/22/19 11:50pm

I agree. You made some really good points that helped

Jdoc

Might as well call him white trailer park trash

Osteotome

Calm down. Just trying to keep you ute fans straight here. No

Little Britches

If the fans were banned for life, not sure how it's a misrepresentation
