It does amaze me though. I mean if Goff called somebody an "Uncle Tom" while working for ESPN it would be national news. And he'd be fired. Same with a lot of other shit that SCORE people say. Like even Goff mocking Steph Curry for being a light skinned brother.

And I'm not saying it would be right. Just saying it would happen. But anything goes at the SCORE.

Bernstein would have been fired for his BOOBS comment had he said it while working at ESPN.

The OJ documentary had a whole section on how he didn't consider himself black and above those he was associating himself with. I think it's hardly a surprise to hear that particular insult used, particularly when it's directed at a guy pretty much the whole population views as guilty of murder.

The Steph thing was literally debated on ESPN when Jemele Hill ran an article about whether he receives more hate as a result of being light-skinned. And while he's never taken the bait to discuss that issue specifically, Bomani Jones has consistently been pointing out how ridiculous it is that Curry gets labeled as "humble" when he struts after every. single. three. compared to the vitriol that Cam Newton received during the NFL season. None of which is to say that Goff is in the right but the idea of a conversation like this being out of bounds at ESPN is silly.

To conclude, I'm the real loser for seriously responding to a Beardown post on race.


:lol:

Beardown, race really is important. Too important for you to keep projecting your twisted idiocy onto other people. You're as racist as there is because you think your brand of naive idiocy is no less offensive.

Goff has become a very lazy talker. His thoughts aren't very deep and his mouth runs while his brain splashes.

It must be tough to be a black guy named Tom. What are your nephews and nieces supposed to call you?

Right. I'm the racist. Twisted? It's twisted to say mocking light skinned brothers is wrong? It's twisted to say "Uncle Tom" is an offensive word? But I'm the racist. Gotcha. :roll:

I'd never thought about that one. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thomas or Tommie/Tommy. I've never, ever heard a brother named/called Tom. Damn, now my day will have random moments where I wonder about this :lol:

Yeah. I never thought about that either. Black parents really shouldn't name their sons Tom. You're right.

Kind of like how white parents stopped naming their kids "Dick". That probably stopped in the 1960s

I really feel bad for this poor bastard. But when he was born, the parents didn't know.

That was quick. :oops: :lol:

And didn't/doesn't Tom Gordon have both of his (alternate) families living in the same neighborhood? Must have been the pressure/burden of being a Black "Tom".

What's the ruling on this? Is it OK or not?

On the one hand, O.J is a horrible person since, ya know, he brutally murdered 2 people. But on the other hand, calling somebody an "Uncle Tom" is very offensive.

What do you guys think?

Who the fuck are you, and where do you stand? You apply your labels and interpretations but when pushed to back up what you're saying you go all "gee golly" in your naive idiocy. If someone says you're offensive, stop doubling down with your idiocy. You're offensive, you've been offensive. If you think acting as a joke while slinging racist bullshit makes you cute, you're not. You want to put your words, your racist interpretations, as someone else's thoughts or beliefs, whether a joke or not, is dispecable. Nothing about it is funny.
