You were doing ok until you took a left turn. I didnt defend anything Smollett did. I spent plenty of time cracking jokes about him when that happened and never believed it in the first place. I simply stated that his lying didnt do any damage to anyone sincere about any of this. Nobody decided...

I don’t fully disagree with your statements but I generally take issue with the sentiment. Black people (and non black allies) have fought tooth and nail to get every right/concession, the whole while being shouted down by huge segments of the population. The Jussie Smollets of the world only...

Aw the old ‘call the person discussing potential racism racist’ trick. Been making appearances on message boards for decades lol. Thats an old trick that only works on the stupid. Charles Hallman is pro black and pro community. The only folks that would ever dream of calling him racist are those...

Youve missed about 300 years, my guy based on your previous post. No need to go back and forth. You already disagree with everything I have to say before I say it. Have a great day.

Ill say there are plenty of clear reasons for the firing that had nothing to do with race and it is fully justifiable. Even if its currently true that black CBB coaches get a shorter leash he hasnt done anything to earn the benefit of the doubt.

Ill just say I wholeheartedly disagree with that as does actual historical fact and leave it at that.

Maybe, maybe not. I offered no opinion about that nor do I have much of one other than that Ben Johnson hasnt earned the right to another year so his fate was rightfully murky. I do know that we live in a country where everyone agrees racism exists but there still seems to be immediate backlash...

Historically? Absolutely. In 2025? I don’t know. I dont have the data to give an informed opinion and also situations are unique. That said this is America and anyone who dismisses the potential of prejudice at play, even subconsciously, out of hand without consideration is usually being...

Charles Hallman has been a fixture in the community for decades. Just because you arent familiar with him doesnt make him a ‘nobody’. That word is far more descriptive of anonymous message board posters than someone with his name on everything he puts out there

I think people overestimate the value of experience in a blowout game. A guy playing 2 series at the end of a game well out of reach, playing next to backups, likely against other backups, in a pressure less situation isn't going to make much of a difference in terms of their future...

His name has been out there for years. Had like 20 offers as a freshman

so you answered your own question. Why are you directing questions you know the answer to towards me?

don't be stupid. Or worse, willfully argumentative and dense.

Are you a white male? Im a black man. I know exactly what it feels like to be told to honor and respect something that has no respect for me. I know what its like to go through life being told certain people are our nations heros knowing that those same people viewed my ancestors as inferior. I...

So your argument is that black students of the school, who DO know the origin if the song, and who know its history has mocked them and denied their humanity should just be ok with it because other people don’t know? You should regret that...

It likely could be. And today more and more people are voicing concerns about them. I for one and not a huge fan of spending money with faces of people who would've enslaved me, sending my kids to schools named after people who thought my forbearers inferior to them, and so on and so forth...

I believe that many want to fix it by finding a new song

The racism isn't in the song lyrics itself, but in the history of it's creation and adaption.

See Suggs, Jalen. See Anthony, Carmelo. See Duke's last national title Gonzaga played more nationally televised games against high level comp than almost anyone. That's a false take.

The state is more than the university. Its fairly rare that high level players ‘stay home’ unless its UCLA
