White althlete kicked out of olympics for racial joke

[LogikAndReazon]

Her comments were very, very, very insensitive to mosquitos.........................

Racist ??? lol

 

[squeeze berry]

We care, because 40 years ago this would have been laughed at and people moved on, now with the liberal diversity gestapo in full force any protected group cannot be made fun of.

that and the double stsndards

Such as?

 

[Shelzin]

The only shitheads are the ones claiming there was a racist comment....................

Why does it matter to you? Olympic Athletes are very much diplomats and are expected to act as such and serve at the pleasure of their countries respective Olympic committees, at best this is local news in Greece.

I agree with the bolded part of your comment.

I also agree with bolded statement.

John Carlos and Tommie Smith were suspended and expelled from the games for their black rights salutes in the 1968 games.

Those who speak of a double standard are either ignorant, mentally feeble, or malignantly motivated, or a combination of all three.

Racists are simply feral.

So anything in the news that you don't like must be it's "the left".

You think David Duke got her banned from the olympics?? Get your butt outta your head.

Glad to know you identify with David Duke.

Actually the senate candidate in New York identifies with David Duke

David Duke endorses Charles Barron - New York Daily News

I really like why:
The possible election of [Barron], a dedicated anti-Zionist to the U.S. Congress, has thrown the Zionist-influenced media and the Zio-political establishment in a tizzy," said Duke, who made an infamous bid for the White House in 1992.

Yep he'd fit in the Obama administration, no doubt about it.

I'm liking you more every time I see you.

what they did was waaay more serious. In addition they did not have their medal stripped. The sespensions were hollow.

oh, and what if a white politician had made the statement 'typical black person"

perhaps you are the feral racist

 

[whitehall]

Wow, not only do Olympic officials test urine but they also monitor tweets. You might get by if you show up with a trace of drugs but a caustic tweet will get you a bus ticket home.

 

[Pheonixops]

[Sounds like intolerance from the athlete, who supports a far right wing party.

Intolerance and racism is a left wing trait. They are the ones who gave us affirmative action, the govt mandated persecution of whites.

Yeah and the conservatives were against freeing the slaves, voting rights and civil rights for Blacks, the conservatives were pro Jim Crow and Black codes as well as treating them (the Blacks) as less than citizens of this country. They (the ones who had the mindset) were and are the true racist bigoted pieces of shit. They were the ones on the wrong side of history.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Lets face it....there have been righties here who actually defended a person for saying blacks are dumber than whites. Do you think they wont find a defense for this? In their world nothing is racist....unless it's against a white person, then they'll proclaim that racism is everywhere.

Its tough being white nowadays...you cant tell your racist jokes in public, cant say ******...I mean it's a tough life

 

[Swagger]

Indeed. It does rather beg the question: what exactly was racist about what she tweeted? As far as I can tell, nothing in the tweet fell within the defined standard of racism. Saying that there's "so many Africans in Athens" is an observation. And forgive me if I'm wrong, but mosquitos inhabiting the west Nile are among Africans. Tasteless, but just as harmless as an African saying that Mercedez cars are disproportionately owned by whites. Personally speaking, I reckon some of the parties that oppose Golden Dawn didn't like her politics. So, regardless of her hard work and determination, they used it as an opportunity to score political points. Shame on the IOC for rolling over to PC driven spite.

 

[Againsheila]

This is indeed unfair. It wasn't smart of her to post this, but in no way should she be barred from the Olympics.
Besides, who are they to speak? They can't even bring up the courage to remember the murdered Israeli athletes.

Good point.

You mean the democrats? You refer to the shameful history of the democrat party? Yeah, the democrats have always been in favor of slavery and oppression. Some things never change.

 

[JakeStarkey]

They were booted from the Olympic Village after the medals ceremonies.

The USA managers were not going to allow that until the Olympics President said he would boot the whole team out of the Village, and the compromise was made they would keep their medals.

Now if you are equating a "black power" salute a racist joke, then you have no balance or understanding in your logic or reason.

This is one of the racist, feral crazee far right extremists' non-stories. Move along, nothing to see here.

You guys and gals are so lame, and you are falling by the wayside in your numbers rapidly.

[Swagger]

If this is such a "non-story", Jake, why have you seen fit to submit no less than six comments on it?

 

[JakeStarkey]

The "story" are the feral conspirators and their craziness.

That is what historians will focus on in the future: your hatred of Obama and your fabrications. Not on Obama and the story itself, because there is nothing there.

What is "there" are you crazees.

I'm not saying what Carlos and Smith did was a racist joke.

A racist joke is less serious than a racist political statement.

Carlos and Smith were probably done running for the games anyway. They did get criticized and rightfully so.
They really didn't suffer in their athletic careers either.

They even won the Arthur Ashe Courage Award which appears to be a friggin joke.

PS what would happen if a white person dis a white power salute on the podium?

If it's in Britain, I'll bet they are hauled off to jail.............

No, I am referring to Conservatives and the shameful history of the people who have and had that ideology, the Conservatives have always been in favor of keeping the status quo for the Blacks, that status quo would be slavery and oppression. It doesn't matter what political party it was. Political parties tend to change in ideologies, the ideologies......................not so much.
