OT: "Run of the mill white kids"

[keydet#]

While lauding the diversity of her team, the Wisconsin women's basketball coach, who is African American, noted the various ethnicities represented on the roster and then commented they also had all the "run of the mill white kids."

What would the fallout be if a white coach referred to "run of the mill black kids" on the team?

I am sure when Wisconsin plays that Iowa team, I think the coach will believe that they were not playing a "run of the mill white kid". She beat us up pretty bad and we could not even acknowledge how great of a player she was.

That can be said of anything. The past cannot be changed, the way the past is viewed can be. For people today to declare that slaveholders were evil greedy people who ruined something are engaging in revisionist history and ignoring the reality those people lived with when they were alive and making decisions based on what was acceptable at the time.

The luckiest African descended people on this planet are the descendants of black slaves in the US. If you could travel back in time and wave a magic wand and eliminate slavery in the US you would condemn millions of black people today to a life of misery in Africa as opposed to a life of opportunity in the US.

Is this an assumption or a fact? If a fact, the shoe could have been on the other foot!

There would be hundreds of multimillion dollar law suites, along with the white coach being terminated.

Double standards. Kind of like when a black person can call another black the "n" word but God forbid that whites use it.

And that is something I have never been able to understand since it is supposed to be taboo.

Is this you DeSantis? You have lost your ever-loving mind if you think that being a descendant of person enslaved in America is in any f@@@@@@ way lucky! A life of misery??? You know nothing about the places we came from or what we were before being enslaved!!! The life of misery is in this country where people like you have the audacity to even think that we were lucky to be brought here and be enslaved for generations! Perhaps learn about the inventions and contributions of these enslaved people and their generations....the same inventions and contributions that would've occurred in our native land!!

saw a map recently that laid out how many slaves were shipped to other countries. guess which country had the least.

White liberal quilt is a thing, and they have been using it for a long time.

One slave in America was one too many!
