These days you never know when you’re a goner. You never know if your career and deeds — good deeds, well-intended deeds and honest work — will be hijacked by fringe lunatics or the merely wishful to publicly paint you as what they want you to be, hope you are or read online that you definitely are.
Thus you become a racist, because that’s a quick, effective substitute for reasonable, civil dialogue and for dealing with certain clear, present and often unpopular truths.
So the easiest, safest way to protect your career is to pander to those with whom you disagree, ignore what you can’t miss or simply run away.
Grant Napear, 32 years the TV voice of the Sacramento Kings, is a goner this week, fired from his gig as a Sacramento sports talk host and “resigned” as the TV voice of Kings TV broadcast because he’s a racist. Perhaps. There’s no evidence. But a knee-jerk reaction from easily frightened bosses (see: Doug Adler, former ESPN tennis analyst) is all it takes.

He didn’t bow down to LaBaby James and his little thugetts....Laura Ingraham put him in his place...”shut up and dribble” best quote of last year!
ReplyDeleteAnother buffoon comment. Please enlighten us on exactly how Lebron James and his associates are thugs? And Im pretty sure LeBron continues to not only speak out but organize some pretty big initiatives while ingram continues to whine like a baby on tv
DeleteSounds like a big lawsuit.
ReplyDeleteThat’s Fascism for you
ReplyDeleteAll it takes is a few calls to the head office and some social media s**tstirring to get any person not-of-color fired from a gig like this one.
ReplyDeleteChances are that every white sportscaster has made a comment over the years that could be considered racist. I'm sure that the off-camera comments about the Jamaican bobsledding team were seriously off-color, so to speak.
This brings me to question why the Winter Olympics are so darned white.
4:47, you still don’t get it. All lives matter is not racist. I’m sick of this stupid chit. Darned white you say. I am offended at that racist remark. Being a white boy, I can laugh it off though because I know you don’t know the difference. The difference is if a white says it, it can’t be good. Hold on listen to this, if a black says it, it be good. Get my drift. Hand me another beer. Lol
ReplyDeleteNo support from me for such a racist group; black lives matter in itself and on its face is a racist statement.
