Remember the people saying That Hayward can't be an All star because he gets shut down by Kawhi Leonard? Yeah, Not so much anymore. . .

Hayward > leonard. And it's not even that close imo

I'm arguing for people to chill and not get too upset over a jazz forum post made in jest which seems somewhat minor in the grand scheme of things

Then you do that. I do not think chilling out is a morally justifiable response to casual racism. So I won't.

Fair enough
 
Yeah, people saying racist things suck. However, people acting like they marched in Selma gets tiresome too.

Do you realize how asinine this sentiment is. Oh, there's a dude being hanged on that tree, just mind your own business and have a thick skin. This is obviously not a case of death via discrimination, but every heinous ideology begins as a seed. Hitler's ideology began as words (Mein Kampf), and moved to action. That's why, heinous ideology should be derided in whatever form. If you choose to just take this seemingly insignificant racism in stride than that's a part of your laissez-faire existence, and I suggest you take a look in the mirror.

You can make a comment about feral honkeys if ya want. I promise it went hurt me even a little. Hell you can even make it specifically about me. (Fish is a feral ******) I don't mind.

I have perspective enough to know that words don't hurt me unless I choose to let them

Words do hurt people. Entire populations of people. When people are comfortable verbally denigrating an entire group they are comfortable discriminating in ways that really **** up those peoples lives. You're right though, guys like you and I(white guys) are only hurt by words if we choose to let them. That isn't the case for everybody.

The Kanter/Jazz breakup may be a win-win. It's kinda like when I stop going to buffets—saves the restaurant money and helps me lose weight.

Pretty sure if we let this dudes comment go without getting after him that there would be no horrific ramifications.
You are making a mountain out of a mole hill
