Somehow this is okay<\/a>: Detroit Lions cornerback proclaims \u201cnever saw a white guy\u201d like Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey<\/span><\/p>\n

Double standards are fun!\u00a0 Imagine if the situation were reversed, and a white player were talking about a black player excelling at a role that black players weren\u2019t necessarily known for playing.\u00a0 Imagine if Eli Manning praised a black placekicker:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAh\u2019ve never seen a black guy<\/em>\u2026\u201d and then he would get his ass kicked by every black guy in the locker room before he could even finish the statement, because that\u2019s just how things are in this day and age.\u00a0 Or, he\u2019d get the entire statement of praise out, and despite being phrase, Stephen A. Smith would absolutely blast him on The Ocho<\/em>, calling him a racist, the Giants would suspend him, and the NFL would make him have to take sensitivity training.<\/span><\/p>\n

The point is, even using the word \u201cblack\u201d piques ears and interest like prairie dogs, regardless of what follows it, just in case it\u2019s in reference to race, but applied the other way around, and it\u2019s completely acceptable and okay.<\/span><\/p>\n

I get that Darius Slay is really trying to praise Christian McCaffrey, but what does race have anything to do with it?\u00a0 McCaffrey is an incredible running back regardless of if the color of his skin were white, black, green<\/a> or Kree blue<\/a>.\u00a0 But nope, gotta get that white guy commentary in there, because black folks are allowed to do that.\u00a0 And not just to white people, but all races, because society has been so whipped into feeling guilty for the treatment of blacks in history that they\u2019re entirely given a free pass to make racist remarks without any repercussion.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait for one of the numerous Korean placekickers<\/a> in college and free agency gets singled out for being great kickers\u2026 for a Chinese guy.\u00a0 If you think there\u2019s vitriol in this post, you ain\u2019t seen nothing yet.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
