Damn racist coin flips. If there was a tie in the process of deciding the USA flag bearer, and one of them was black then he should obviously be chosen during #blackhistorymonth.
Ugh. What a tool.Already I'm sick of the Winter Olympics. ;-)
And what's with the USOC and its
now-mandatory diversity scorecard?Well that going to screw everything up! I forget what comedian made the joke that the winter olympics exist so white people can win medals :)
Shee-it. If anything, we need to get some reverse affirmative action going in those leagues and get some more white folks and maybe a few more Hispanics in there. ;-)
At any rate, Shani Davis acts like a puss and boycotts the opening ceremony because of the racist coin toss. And he's backed on this by, of course,
Jesse Jackson. Because I suppose a 50/50 chance of winning the coin toss wasn't good enough for Davis and Jackson. Also, I guess in a battle of oh-pressed people (women versus blacks) we know who's gonna win that one, right? LOL!
On a related note, this sort of nonsense is why you'll almost never see any sort of negative reviews for the new MCU movie "Black Panther." (Disclosure: I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know if it's truly worthy of the almost-perfect 100% critics rating it was getting at Rotten Tomatoes... right up until a critic gave it a bit less-than-enthusiastic opinion (mostly based on the lack of action in parts of the movie), at which point he was savaged and accused of being, wait for it: a racist. ;-)
