That video should just be a picture.

Oh wait, it is.

Yeah I can't wait until we get some actual highlight videos up in here. Like from actual NBA games. Let's start the frigging season already!!

Dude, how in the world have the board SJW's let the term "whipping boy" fly, especially as it relates to black men? C'mon now, step up your game!

The term has to do with the English monarchy, not slavery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipping_boy

The term was actually coined in 1991 by James Hatfield.

Heh, it is cute that you think etymological history matters at all. . .

I think you mean Hetfield, and no you are not forgiven.

Perhaps not, but could I be unforgiven too?

Maybe you two can patch things up over some Whiskey In The Jar.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

Nah. Kill 'em all.

It does. In this case you chose to ascribe racial overtones to a poster due to YOUR misunderstanding of a common phrase. That is an egregious error imo as the concept "racist" is such a huge insult and a hot-button topic to boot, so by even insinuating this you do the other person a grave dis-service when that was never the intention, nor even the original meaning of the phrase to begin with.
