    Poor poe.

    It must be difficult for you to come to terms that you're just proving White Privilege and CRT are actual things. I didn't make it about his race or reduce him to a skin color. I pointed out an fact. 

    And congrats for admitting Black people live in hell in America when they have to constantly think about (consciously and subconsciously) their race in everything they do. Good job poe! I proud of you admitting it. But that's not what my argument was about the recruit. You "made a choice" to not look at the context of the argument, which is sad. 

    And then poe says he didn't know Simmons was Black but then comes back to the website to say he "saw a kid celebrating a dream come true with his family an friends" which means, yes, you did know he was Black. No one reduced him to his skin color rather I just pointed it out because it's true. Isn't that what you and your people do--"jUsT sTAtingG FaCtS!?!"

    No, I don't live in constant hell so I'm not sure what that has to do with anything or where it even comes from. I'm sure you live in constant hell though, you know flipping and flopping and purposely misrepresenting things to bend to your agenda. Right?

    I don’t think black people are miserable, I think you are. Either way, I wish you well. I know you’re involved in education and that’s a profession I respect, even if I disagree with you on everything.

    If you can't understand how race affects pretty much every aspect of a black person's life in this country I can't help you.  That incident in Frisco (where a completely innocent family was stopped, held at gunpoint, threatened, and cuffed for being...black in Frisco.

    So you can’t enjoy a commitment ceremony without thinking about the Frisco situation? Like I said, what a nightmare.

    There really is not much better evidence of the existence of white privilege than when a white person says "I've never had to think about my race at all, much less daily, why should you"?

    It also makes a pretty good case for why DEI education is so important.  That sort of empathy obviously does not come naturally to people.

    Again, reading is very important in these discussions. That wasn’t said at all. We were discussing this player committing to Texas and Pancho’s need to point out he’s black. It’s sad to me that he looks at Colin and that’s what he sees.

    I don't follow recruits on social media either rather I see what they post based on what others on this website (and other websites) post. So yes, it was pretty easy to see what race the recruit was. You hope athletes commit to your team without knowing anything about them? That doesn't make any sense. Would you be as equally happy if we got a rando athlete from Montana who was a 2 star? No.

    I don't know what makes you think you're happier than I am. Communicating injustice doesn't mean someone isn't happy. 

    Not to alarm you, but if you're insinuating I'm not happy because I have to think about my race consciously and subconsciously in everyday life and you do not, then you're just further making the claim as to why white privilege is real and Critical Race Theory is an actual thing. You do know that right? 

     

    You’re taking one of the best days of this kid’s life and making it about his race, that’s what miserable people do. You’ve made a choice to think that way and it has nothing to do with your skin color. It will always taint your enjoyment until you break free from it, but I really think you will one day.

    I knew he was Black because I followed the recruitment so I've seen his social media. You just admitted you don't follow recruiting yet you're telling people to be happy we got a certain recruit?

    It must be terrible to constantly think you have to live to be smarter than everyone else in the room knowing you really aren't. I'm truly sorry you have to live that way. 

    I don’t follow kids on social media, but I spend far too much time hoping kids commit to my team. I think you’re a professor so I don’t claim to be smarter than you at all, I’m claiming to be much happier.

    See, if @Poe It Up were capable of real introspection and reflection, one could believe that their post was sincere. But, most likely @Poe It Up has never considered why a black person may have to be more aware of their own race than the average white person. 

    I saw a kid celebrating a dream come true with family and friends. I couldn’t even imagine reducing him to his skin color at that moment. I pity people like Pancho, they must live in constant hell.

    @sidis, you see, here, unlike with @Lidig8r, you have an authentic troller.  If you're wanting to blast someone, by all means please feel free.

    FWIW I've never met lidig8r but I know who he is based largely on him having revealed himself during the course of the tragic loss of his daughter (who my daughter, DDD [no pics], knew as a contemporary).  I gave him a pass on his comments, with which I completely disagreed and assumed were uninformed, because he has not shown himself to troll on this board or Shaggy, and because professionally his reputation is solid.

    Carry on.

    Dad, we just landed Simmons. Get the fuck out of the cloak room and party.

    If you guys are looking for good news, here it is. In reading this write-up and knowing what I know, Sonny Shipp doesn't know what in the fuck he is talking about for either of McKinley or Simmons. NIL is a fundamental issue for Simmons. The McKinley's made a courtesy visit to LSU in order to keep all of the slackjawed cajun imbeciles at bay with their whining about not giving LSU any chances in his recruitment. 

    Beyond that, to commit somewhere in which you don't even know who your position coach will be isn't particularly on brand for Simmons either. 

    I continue to say LSU and have said that from the beginning, outside of some optimism for Texas just after his visit, but there are folks who were pretty fucking accurate about Gipson that do not feel the same way about Simmons. 

    If LSU is really thinking along the lines that Shipp is and they don't think that NIL is the front and center issue for Simmons, yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.
