  1. I think it's a pretty ignorant thing to say that I have never been treated unfairly especially on an individual level but I'll play along for now. I will address all of those things in a little bit.
  2. My post wasn't designed to take apart all of those things but I can go into greater detail about all of that and I will shortly. It was designed to show you the madness of collective thinking attributing guilt to a whole group of people.
  3. I explained my case on this above but it doesn't sound like you bothered to read it. What's ridiculous is you think you can just label someone a racist without any evidence of them being racist. There is evidence that people of all races are screwed over to a certain degree but in the 21st century if you are born in America, you have way more privileges than people born anywhere else. And the data doesn't back your claim. This is what people do when they have no argument. They label you as racist, hateful, etc.. if you don't agree with their point of view. You are nothing more than a ideological bully and not a very intimidating one at that.
  4. You don't get it and that's ok I guess. Adult conversation isn't for everyone. I could say the same for you buddy.
  5. He's a political troll dude. He's said nothing of substance this entire thread.
  6. If you live in a first world country, particularly America, then we all have privileges. The benefits of being born in the 21st century are that you are not necessarily held down by the social class you are born in. You can start out as nothing and work your way into something regardless of race. We have millionaires and even billionaires of all different races and backgrounds. We had a black President not long ago. Is affirmative action not a privilege? So the people who invoke the myth of white privilege is really only pandering to gain sympathy. It's used as a way for people who have no balls to do what they want to do in life to blame shit on the system as if the system is keeping them there and acting as they don't have the freedom to make changes. And that kind of thinking is not race specific either. I think the idea of white privilege is completely reprehensible. And I'm not saying white people aren't born with certain advantages. Most people have advantages in some way or another and you should be thankful for those advantages and work to deserve them. But the idea that you can target an ethnic group with a collective crime regardless of the specific innocence or guilt of the constituent elements of that group, there is absolutely nothing that is more racist than that. If you really wanna know more about that sort of thing you should read abut the Kulaks in the Soviet Union in the 1920's. Because they were farmers who were the most productive people in agriculture in Russia and they were virtually all killed, raped, and robbed by the collectivists who insisted that because they showed signs of wealth that they were criminals. One of the consequences of the prosecution of the Kulaks was the death of 6 million Ukrainians from famine in the 1930s. The idea of collectively held guilt at the level of the individual as a legal or philosophical principle is dangerous. It's precisely the sort of danger that people who are really looking for trouble would push. Just a glance at 20th century history should tell anyone how horrible that is. The players have privileges too. Because they are athletes they get free stuff all the time. They dine well. And let's be honest, a lot of them aren't playing here for free now. And I'm not saying they shouldn't have those things because I believe they've earned them. Using a term like white privilege is too vague because it's not just whites who have advantages in American society. I often find that its used to shut down an argument meaning your opinion doesn't matter on this because you are white. Being white doesn't inhibit the ability to use your brain and have a valid opinion. I think that about covers it.
  7. That's such a tired and worthless argument troll. Every group has privileges in different ways. What special treatment? You must be speaking for yourself or rich people.
  8. Lol. She said you'd say that. I know what the context was. No one said they didn't fucking support them as people. That is basically what your'e saying. Anyone who has an opinion different than that according to you doesn't support them. Which is the dumbest fucking thing Ive ever heard. Yea I do take their word for it as in I believe they believe it is offensive. But that's the deal with topics like these. It's subjective. And if someone has a subjective opinion other than the one the players have according to you they don't support the team. Or if someone points out they are in the minority that thinks that way that they also don't support them as people. You put your own standards on how someone looks at someone personally based of a subjective opinion discussion.
  9. Triggered. How about the fact that you shame other people for having an opposing view than yours? You claim that because someone doesn't support the players demands means they don't support the team. That's fucking retarded. You can have your mom come pick you up now. I'm almost finished with her.
  10. You could. Just like I could call you retarded for all the dumb shit you've said. But it won't just be me. Plus I don't know how I would be singing "over" it. I don't have a voice that carries over a full college marching band and 100,000 people.
  11. Yet in the thread about our players you said my opinion was morally bankrupt. So when it's Mississippi State's players who get offended they are a bunch of pussies but when it's our players it's a morally bankrupt position to have that exact same opinion. And you justify it by saying just because you don't feel it should be changed doesn't mean it's not right that the players don't. Why doesn't that apply here? Why should they not be offended? Unless my sarcasm meter is broken, (entirely possible I could have it in the wrong context) you sir are a hypocrite.
  12. Really? The entire black community? You must be under the impression they all think the same way. Yet the ones who oppose your opinion are condescending. Takes about 3 seconds of thinking to come up with that conclusion.
  13. Btw when they change the song to different lyrics no one should feel obligated to sing the new version. You should be able to sing the old song if you want to. If anyone calls you a racist because of that they are fucking retarded.
  14. Maybe I think you guys are being dicks. See how perception can change things?
  15. I'd rather be real with my opinion and have what is perceived as the low ground than just side with the narrative for the moral high ground. Not saying everyone who disagrees with me is doing that. I'm sure a few believe all the players demands are perfectly reasonable. But there is a lot of pandering and white guilt going on here.
  16. Na I was just pointing out what you guys have been doing the entire thread. You can interpret it however you like. Doesn't matter to me.
  17. You just can't have an opposing view of it without getting shamed. Iv'e given up on the idea that there is much nuance on here. Any opposing view you have against the players will be shit on here. Even if you bring up good counter arguments the mob is waiting for you to say something against the narrative so they can show you how "woke" they are. It's all about having the moral high ground so they don't have to take on the sins of their ancestors and put it on anyone who disagrees with them. That being said I really don't care anymore. They can change whatever they want and my opinion on it isn't going to matter anyway. Still love the players and I hope they have a successful season. Always will be a longhorn for life. Hook Em.
  18. Micheondra Williams, a College of Liberal Arts sociology major, learned about the alma mater's history from a friend. "I have to admit that I was a little bit shocked to read about the song's history," she said. "But there aren't any words that put me down or degrade me, or make me feel negatively about myself or anyone else." That's the part you left out. Try to be more professional in the future sir.
  19. I have nothing to prove to you. You can look back at my first post. It says word for word what was said in the article. You make me sick. Your'e a jackass.
  20. I feel the exact same way about you. I never said they weren't going to have their say or have a problem with them having their say. I'm saying I don't agree and I told you why. It's not enough for you to get over that but I explained my valid concerns. I know society will endure. We are all on the same team at the end of the day. We all bleed orange. Hook Em.
  21. They are all just humans and don't have the capacity to think logically anymore than any of us. You do come after me. You use emotion as a way to navigate your argument instead of actually having a logical adult discussion about the issue. I will agree when I said everyone who supported this was just pussies looking for witch hunt was out of line. At the end of the day we are all on the same team. We all bleed orange. And I still love every one of y'all for that. I love being apart of this university and I love the fact we can disagree and still have something in common. We want these kids to be successful on and off the field. I just disagree about the methods and measures they are taking to make a statement that is obvious to the masses. Hook em.
  22. I have let them say their peace and I disagree. Apparently that's too hard for you to understand. I don't have to agree to understand what they are talking about or where they are coming from. Do I think they are influenced regardless of what they say? Yes. Because from ages 18-22, which is what most of these guys are, they don't have a fully developed brain and solidified thought patterns to not be completely influenced by the media they consume. That go's for all of us to a certain degree. But way more so for developing kids. Do you agree with every 18-22 year olds ideas about how to make change? You hear what you want to hear from me and take what I say out of context. You are the one who is close minded in the since that you can't see how someone can have an opinion that disagrees with what the kids are saying and still support them. Their is no room for nuance or thinking in your point of view. It's agree with the mob or you're full of hate. That requires next to no thinking to come up with that conclusion. I'm not playing victim to anything. I just said what happened. I have an opinion that opposes the players point of view and you guys come after me for it. That's fine I guess. My opinion is not immune to scrutiny. But the execution of the way you guys do it is childish.
