Thunder announcer suspended one game after racially insensitive comment about Russell Westbrook

People are idiots.

Amen!

People are idiots.

Cotton-pickin' idiots.

I would not be the least bit surprised to learn the person actually offended on someone else's behalf was white. Some things in this world just piss me off.

Diversity is our strength. Except that "diversity" historically never seems to get along very well. It also depends on which shade makes the comment. I don't recall much coming from this little gem:

Bias is typically one sided.

Saw this the other day and just rolled my eyes. People so dead set on being offended these days.... I never heard anything about Russell Westbrook directly being offended, did you?

People are idiots.

Oh it's even worse. It's that people are deathly afraid of offending those that are so easily offended. How pathetic is that?

I grew up in an area of the state where a lot of cotton was (is) grown. In the fall schools would let out of a week for "cotton pickin'". I picked many of rows side by side with men, women and children of diverse races. I would not be offended by the term, but then my ancestors were not slaves.

Who won the game?

The Vegas golden knights. They’re up 2-0 on the LA Kings

My dad picked cotton as a kid, ironically, as white white as the driven snow(flake).

My grandparents did, too. Sigh. This world has gone to hell in a handbasket.
