The Pre-Emptive Dusty's Racism Claims against Chicago Thread

[OleMissCub]

 

but why do you care so much about grammar all of the sudden? you never have before.

 

Hmmm, you don't recall me bringing it up numerous times with CubInNY or Hardcorecubsfan? I even outright asked CubInNY if he was dyslexic once because of it.

 

 

perhaps he just should have reiterated the idea that the only racism that exists is reverse racism. maybe then he would have received a warm reception, huh?

 

lol

My point? I posted a picture of a grammar text book. What the heck do you think my point is?

 

That post makes a hardcorecubsfan fan post look like a Noam Chomsky essay. It reads like one of those fourth grade Grammar class problems where you have to fix the paragraph.

You're a funny guy sometimes.

i mean, the post was fairly innocuous, hardly worthy of such a flame

 

Come on, man. It was his first post. I think he should know to bring better grammar up in this house after all this time. Enough is enough.

Does the fact that someone happens to be black make them immune from ridicule? Aside from some Yanr posts of yesteryear, that was the most unintelligible post I've ever read on this forum in FIVE years.

 

Seriously...posting a picture of a grammar book after a syntax disaster like that is racist?

shouldn't you be sleeping on your bed of money with many beautiful women?

the fact that he's black is relatively meaningless. it's simply what he said that got him flamed, not how he posted it.

 

i doubt he gets crap if he agrees that racism doesn't exist and never has in any way shape or form.

Yep, that's right.

just checking.

our country wasn't built on the back of violent mistreatment of black people just so they could one day be free and then misspell words on the net

Fwiw, even if Baker protected the young arms in '03 and made better managerial decisions in 04', that the Cards would've likely finished ahead of the Cubs regardless.

Ok, my geek is going to show here for a minute...my apologies in advance.

 

The problem with that card is the italics. Any actual gameplay effects that a card has is in normal font. Anything in italics is just flavor text. If someone took the time to make that, they should have known better.

I was kidding when I called you racist. I'm sorry, I guess I shoulda made it more obvious. I thought the "dude" would tip it off.

I'm not one to usually criticize someone's grammar. But, if you're going to do it, you should do it without using sentence fragments, and you should capitalize your sentences. Not to mention, "whew" isn't a word. I'm just saying, you might want to watch what you criticize other people for. You just might be doing the same thing yourself.

As being a African-American i find it funny how people say that a person is using the race card. Blacks or others dont like using the race card. Another thing being a Cubs fan I get a lot of u should be a White Sox fan since ur black.. Believe it or not racism is still out their. One thing i want to say is i dont think every person is racism but the one out there leave a bad taste in ur mouth. Go Cubs in 08!!!!!!!

Crap that was done a little preemptively. So did Dusty get booed or not? Some of us don't get Comcast sports

Sorry, but I have to pile on a little bit. I'm surprised no one else brought it up. Saying "blacks or others don't like using the race card" is racist itself, isn't it? Aren't you making predetermined judgements about someone because they belong to a race here? Racism, ignorance, and the willingness to throw out the race card (or reverse racism card) can be found amongst a percentage of all races of people. Any statement that any one race does or doesn't do or like to do something is a bunch of hypocritical malarky. I thought this post deserved to be jumped on, even if it was someone's first post (personally, I suspect another user created a second account to post that, who knows...).

[brinoch]

This thread is very likely to be moved. Can we get back on topic and drop the relatively pointless conversation on race, grammar, and new Magic: The Gathering cards?
