What's new
By:

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

So Elijah said DL isn't racist yet is taking about years of oppression and talking about "hundreds of thousands of black lives being slaughtered".

I guess I just don't the endgame and exactly what he's trying to get out of this. If said poster earlier was right and Elijah said DL isn't racist then what's the point here?

Before bigot Cy responds, I'm asking a simple question. I have no clue if DL said such thing or not.
 


If DL is encouraging the league to investigate it, he must be feeling pretty confident they won't find anything.
 
No one has a damn clue if he said it. Last time I checked we still live in America, we don't make judgments on "well....I could see him maybe saying it...". 6 years is a long time to sit on something like this, it isn't rape.

This is the power of cancel culture, and the biggest problem with it. In the end it doesn't matter what the truth is, the allegation is enough to ruin reputations.


It is like this. Imagine you move into a new neighborhood. You like the neighborhood, everyone seems nice. You are chatting with your new next-door neighbor and asking him about the other families. He gives you the run-down, everything sounds great, you are happy. Then he says "oh, and Mr. Jones on the corner there, he is the nicest guy, used to hold a barbecue every year. Until those kids said that stuff about him. I mean, don't get me wrong, there was an investigation and everything, they proved it was all made up, and the kids even apologized. He never touched those kids, the cops proved it, so you don't have anything to worry about."

You leave the conversation and go inside. Will you ever be comfortable with your kids in that neighborhood now? What do you instantly think about Mr. Jones, regardless of how open and forgiving you might be? Yeah you likely think of him now as the child molester. It doesn't matter what the truth is, the allegation, the comments alone, are enough to damage his reputation in your eyes before you even meet the guy.

That is the issue I have with cancel culture and you see it in those comments.

Yeah... people on both sides were super guilty of rushing to conclusions in this very thread.

In serious he said/she said situations, I feel like there is definitely an acceptable middle ground between ignoring the accuser and torching the accused. I also think society in general sucks at finding that middle ground, and most people jump into one side while mentally pushing everybody who disagrees with them into the other.

It's toxic as hell.
