[split] The CA Pic of Markel C - race discussions

Even when he was a Tiger that pic always bothered me.

He looks like he's ready to kill somebody.

Too bad he didn't step up and kill any of our opponents last season

I'd rather have a pic on the front page of Jake McDowell. He's a true Tiger.

If anyone has a connection to the CA it would be great not to see Growel Face every time we log on

this post is just too much. the underlying racism is gold

Indeed it is. But you commented on it...so expect fierce defenses, I mean Jake did not transfer.

RE: The CA Pic of Markel C
The race remarks are completely ridiculous. It's just a dumb picture of a player who left the program

I said the same thing about when the CA left the pic of Tommy West up for over a year after he was let go

Sometimes it really is there, and the pretty cliched geez you other people see race in everything is really the idea that should go away. Dog whistles and code words have been around for a while, and are more present now.

Mocking those who notice that unfortunately does not help to lessen it.

BS Nancy. Man up, aint everything about race no matter how badly you wish for it to be. You're obviously one of those who looks for racism in every word or deed from someone so you can use your offense as currency.

It's pathetic but as long as there is political capital to be gained the race baiters will keep pushing it.

RE: The CA Pic of Markel C
Post 4 brought it up.

But- while subtle, he was correct. If folks are really oblivious to the racial component of comments like the one concerning Jake McDowell, as a TRUE TIGER, they are purposefully daff. Yes, it is easy to spin other reasons for using Jake, not Joe Jackson or the like, and there are other reasons that Nichols was treated softer than Tarik Black (until such was pointed out) but it matters.

I think most know this, but it is easier to blame the press than recognize a problem. Yes, making a bigger deal out of this than was likely necessary, but it seems there. Delete away...we have for a while.

First - no way Nichols was treated softer than Tarik. Nichols was absolutely KILLED for "waiting" so late to transfer out. There were charges that he intentionally blew up the season by waiting late. Also, a lot of glee here when he was kicked off UV.

Second, when the poster used Jake in that context, I felt like it had to do with Jake's recent public comments in support of the team, university, and Tubby. He has been the most pro-UofM athlete in the public light through all of the recent maelstrom.

At least that's how I took it. Admittedly though, I don't take everyone's statements and immediately challenge them using the racial litmus tests. So there's a chance I miss some nuance.
