Is This Blackface? vol. Olympic Edition

[hand2handking]

 

the context is her standing next to simone with it on

thats what made me have the knee jerk reaction

coupled with my opinion of biles it jus smacks of them playing with race

you say it didnt "infer anything other than a girl in the bathroom" but thats just your opinion

you cant tell me what i can and cannot infer from the picture

thats why its called an opinion, the only thing you can do is disagree

 

yea its because of people like me

not actual white supremacists right? got it

because im not one these kumbaya folks, that means the failure of ending racism falls on me

sounds like respectablity politics and tone policing to me

 

[mynameaintg]

So you honestly don't believe the people that had this cover in mind knew what they were doing?

Serious question.

nope. Lebron a monster of an athlete, King Kong a monster of an animal.

 

[hand2handking]

 

yea THATS the association

not black people and monkeys

willful ignorance man

 

[cashbanks]

see i totally disagreed H2HK about this whole face mask ordeal but that LeBron cover was racist as ****.

Cool.

That is why perspective exists.

We can respectfully disagree.

But I think that is as blatant as you can get.

But everyone doesn't look at those things the same way

 

[hand2handking]

but yet the same person who posted that pic wheres the dogpile on him for not seeing it?

yall wanna dogpile on me for "calling her out" but yet when a genuine racist artifact gets brought up, and he is telling you its NOT RACIST, all i see is mild disagreement

none of the vitriol that was sent my way

indoctrination i tell you

i dont know if its defending the white girl or getting to lash out on a black man

 

[cashbanks]

Nah fam you genuinely were wild'n about the face mask IMO

i do agree tho that buddy brushing off a clear gorilla reference is nutty tho

 

[TURBO UNO]

That LeBron photo shoot was awful. **** the people who thought of the concept. Inexcusable.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

yea its because of people like me

not actual white supremacists right? got it

because im not one these kumbaya folks, that means the failure of ending racism falls on me

sounds like respectablity politics and tone policing to me

I was being sarcastical

And when you get an opinion you don't like, you proceed with accusations of people being brainwashed. Then you expect people to stand with you? Man get lost.

QFT.

Somehow a girl wearing a facial cleansing mask = white supremacy

OP is a prime example of why racial tensions have regressed in this country

 

[Based Jesus]

Accusing a beloved black athlete of not being black enough and then calling us all indoctrinated certainly didn't help you

willful ignorance man

the people that found it racist are the racist ones.

you looked at the picture and automatically thought "monkey".

 

[hand2handking]

but how was i wiling when i didnt even start the thread off assuming it was blackface

i just asked for opinions, but ppl didnt just mildly disagree like yall did with him

look at everything that has been said about me in this thread, on top of which im now "playing victim"

i even relented to say, "well even if its not, could she not see how it could be seen as such"

and ppl still jumped on me like i clear face called her a card carrying member of the kkk

 

[derryj3]

H2HK,

It is because of people like you that racism still exists

I was being sarcastical

OP is Trump Dc is Pence

 

[DCAllAfrican]

the people that found it racist are the racist ones.

you looked at the picture and automatically thought "monkey".

So if I looked at the Lebron pic and saw monkey, it is ME that is racist?

 

[hand2handking]

 And when you get an opinion you don't like, you proceed with accusations of people being brainwashed. Then you expect people to stand with you? Man get lost.

no i dont i only call ppl brainswashed after being denigrated in so many different ways

i can only turn the cheek but so many times

the difference is, when i disagree, thats all it is 

when people disagree with me, they get personal and nasty

The photo is a direct reference to King Kong. We're supposed to think "monkey" or actually gorilla because that's the association being made.

Just stop while you're behind. You're embarrassing yourself.

 

[stillin729]

the Lebron cover is clearly racist, not sure who thought that would be a good idea

 

[cashbanks]

Yea not the fact that a decent portion of white america has exposed itself as clearly racist through their support of trump and dismissive attitudes towards police brutality against blacks

the people that found it racist are the racist ones.

you looked at the picture and automatically thought "monkey".

its a reference to a ******* monkey

 

[hand2handking]

 

why dont you ask the guy who posted it for his tax returns?
