the context is that people keep repeating over and over that shaka is this particularly wonderful man, and heās not. now, i put what i said in spoilers, and i bent over backwards to repeat that what i was saying was secondhand information from sources who i trust, and that itās not necessarily a fact, but that this idea about him has legs for a reason.
i, and many other people here with connections, have been sharing secondhand info like this for more than a decade around here, and itās never been a problem before. suddenly when the post is a hot button topic like race everyone is scrambling to clutch their pearls and distance themselves from this info. itās seriously not even remotely as big a deal as yāall are making it out to be. at this point itās an internet rumor thatās buried deep within a texas basketball thread in a minuscule corner or the internet. everything is going to be ok. you all are overreacting to this.
