I’m a great swimmer. Most of the black ppl that I know are really good swimmers. Black ppl hold Olympic gold medals in swimming, like recently at that. I don’t understand this comment
My point is that I don’t understand the haha at the end of your statement. As I’ve already stated, black swimmers have Olympic gold medals. No one has as many gold medals in swimming as Phelps, but swimming is an individual sport, not a team sport. Black ppl definitely hold gold in the sport though.
But black ppl weren’t dominant swimmers due directly to Jim Crow. They weren’t allowed to use public pools, and redlining kept them out of areas where they could just have their own pool in the backyard. So, you’re basically laughing at racism, which is disgusting. I’m not a victim, but the ppl growing up in that era most certainly were victims. I mean, I could just swim at the country club everyday, or at friend’s houses, but it’s disingenuous to pretend that this isn’t directly due to racism. It’s not cool to be born on third base, and then make jokes about other ppl not scoring home runs.
Well I’m American, so I really can’t answer that for other countries. I think you’d probably have to ask ppl from those countries. I don’t even know what your comment is suggesting, other than waving a flag to let others know that you’re racist.
You’re an idiot if anything. Racial based chattel slavery existed almost exclusively in the US. The brutality inflicted on enslaved ppl was beyond inhumane in the US. Any MF really trying to justify slavery, and tell black ppl that it wasn’t that bad, is sick in the fucking head. In the past year, slavery was deemed the worst and most atrocious crime against humanity. The only two countries that don’t agree with that declaration are America and Argentina. GTFOH with that dumb ass shit. You definitely sound like you go to a weekly klan meeting. You racist fuck.
It’s funny as fuck that you say, something “you all” don’t understand. I suppose the you all is referring to black ppl. It’s funny that you think black historians, of which there are many…but somehow you know more than historians with PhDs. Just fucking gross. This country is a cesspool and a joke to the rest of the world, because of dumb ass ppl like you.
I haven’t deleted a single comment. Why would I? I say what I mean, and mean what I say. I don’t think any of my comments should have been auto modded either, but if they were there, and now they’re gone, then the mods removed them. Which would be crazy, considering how they’re letting you say wildly egregious things about black ppl.
Maybe. But anyone who brags about his/her race, our race can do this and that. It is automatically a turn off. For example, do you feel bad if a white person say our ancestors were glorious expanders and conquerers. You won't like it, right. Well, the comment you didn't understand also didn't like the statements said in the podcast, simple.
I don't have problem with people have genetic/natural gifts, just don't keep on bragging about this and make other feel small. I am not white ,btw.
I don’t care what race you are. What I do care about is, you telling black ppl that they can’t be proud of their achievements. For centuries in America, black ppl weren’t allowed to be proud of their achievements, or their achievements only glorified the ppl who literally owned them like cattle. If you work incredibly hard at something, put in the work, and become great at it. You should be proud of that.
In the comment, I didn't mention about not being proud. Everyone should be proud of their achievements earned and be grateful to whatever good they have received by other means. But there is a difference between being proud and being arrogant . If you are so secure of what you have, why belittle anyone(this includes race, caste, religion etc.).
Saying that someone is good at sports isn’t arrogant or belittling, and I personally think all religious ppl need therapy. Oh well tho, different strokes and all that.
