Instead of a GIF, how about some data? I have mine

Check out this link from Gallup, tracking perception of race relations over time. What do you know, it’s fallen off a cliff from its high in the late 2000s…

Race Relations

Are you very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied with the way blacks are treated? Do you think black-white relations will always be a problem for the U.S., or will a solution eventually be worked out?

Ousted to "Head Coach in Waiting". Got it.

Exactly, funny he is saying that.

If you think scalley didn’t go through hell with that situation I don’t know

Yeah he seems more classy than Whitt. I hope he can end the toxicity.

Just a joke.

I'm not sure what the steep price he paid was

His name was vilified. It continues to haunt him even today.

He got all that stuff back pretty quick after the incident and I doubt a million

Exactly, they waited for it to blow over and then reinstated the pay and title

I think Manti is simply pointing out the hypocrisy of some in that fanbase

What exactly price did he pay??

Nov 21, 11:02pm

Didn’t it cost him more than a million dollars or something?

No, more like a 100k for about a year. To recover from the financial penalty.

He's a dork, but he doesn't deserve to be canceled over what he did

Jericho

Sounds like he didn’t pay anything. See above.

He did, especially in mental anguish and distress

Sounds like you know him personally so maybe you do know better than I do.

Poor guy if he were in any other field he'd have been fired. I'm gutted for him

I don’t think he is a victim so much

Can we please stop bringing this up? It’s not a good look for us.

I can’t believe I’m about to defend a Ute and the n-word

reddead

You said the n-word a lot growing up? I never did, nor do I recall any of my peers. Well, my non-black peers.

It’s insanely common even today. Have siblings that just graduated from a UT HS

I can’t believe I’m on a message board w/ people who defend the n word. What am I doing here?

11 years ago was too recent for a man in his 30's to be using the N word and not get backlash. This is laughably

It’s also a different enough time that jumping to fire/cancel/never forgive

That's a completely different matter. I don't think he should be canceled. I think he should be mocked mercilessly

Sure. Okay 🙄

It’s kind of insane that you assume everyone uses the N-word. Lol.

I don’t think “everyone” USES it. I think many have USED it

Those of you who are shocked about this

AFtotheNW

Exactly. It’s edgy and coarse, but was not as bad as the f-word back then

reddead

It’s always been worse than the f-word

140 years after Huck Finn was written, there’s no excuse for using the n-word

13 years and 140 years are the same according to reddead's "data"
