Elijah Millsap: Lindsey in exit interview: “if u say one more word, I’ll cut your Black *** and send you back to Louisiana”.

If all he wants is to “shine a light” why even name names?

Because it gets people's attention, as evidenced by reality.

Reading through this thread, I have to be honest. Even though I'm firmly against firing DL based strictly on an accusation (I've made my thoughts clear in a post from about an hour ago), I find it a bit uncomfortable how quickly people are rushing to throw dirt on Elijah's motives/character.

The dude could very well be telling the truth, and have good intentions.

Story coming soon

Sounds like he's backtracking to me.

"I don't believe he's a racist. I was highlighting the remarks."

Sounds like somebody is using the race card over hurt feelings.

This is hilarious considering I'm the person who has wrote out the most clear and critical arguments here regarding this, and most other topics.

No you wrote out your manifesto, and did so while insulting everyone else. Hardly a reasoned argument.

I mean if there was a chance you misheard him, and you come forward six years later, still **** him.

To be clear when I say “it was six years ago”: I’m saying our memories degrade over time.

But the more I think about it, I’m not sure how valid that point is.

Sorry if this has been addressed, but what was the outcome of this in terms of the roster? Was Millsap retained to begin the next season or not?

Millsap says this was on 4/16/15. He was on a multi-year deal at that point. He ended up being waived the next season on 1/5/16.

It seems to be a pattern with Dennis Lindsey.

Here's an interview where he bigotedly refers to someone as "a black man from Tallulah, Louisiana."

He seems to have something against black people from Louisiana. Odd that he should end up with Karl Malone's team.

Also, in this photo here, you can observe he refuses to even make eye contact with Melvin Hunt. The disrespect is off the charts. I can't believe we didn't notice it sooner. **** this racist piece of ****, and **** his whole family. I hope they all die in a car crash, just like his mom did. It's what they deserve.

Its a crazy world we're living in.

Just today, there was a hearing to confirm a former crack head man, who believes he is a woman, as the director of mental health in the US. This person believes kids as young as three should be able to have sex changes.

We live in a sick society.

Thanks.

I was curious because if he was already getting cut then the comment would have made less sense.

Fair, but maybe it's just me but I've been in more than a few arguments where I say I said one thing and the person I'm arguing with says I said something else completely different. So people here and interpret things completely different even when they were both involved in the same conversation. Not saying I believe DL or EM, as I don't know either of them at all.

Why? Even if Lindsey remembers it differently, if he is an anti-racist as others claim, he can acknowledge that he obviously said things very poorly (and if Millsap has this much resentment 6 years later, he said something poorly), that he needs to be better, and that he will work on being better. What does Lindsey lose by saying that?

Here's an example just from today. A student just contacted me about the perceived irritation and frustration at treatment she received both from me and from a visit to our Success Center. I certainly don't remember being impatient with her. I could have defended myself, and she would probably have left the class. Instead, I apologized for not giving her the responses she needed, and we will having (likely regular) virtual office hours so I can her with some of things she's struggling with. Ultimately, it doesn't matter if she is being too sensitive or if the both the Success Center person and I are being jerks; what matters is she gets the helps she needs in a way that she can use it.

You know why they are so quick to do so....

I'll give you a few guesses

It's more than meh, especially if he's denying it. He just needs to own it and apologize

Unless that's not what he said.
