"Pete Carroll Knows What It Is To Be Black In America" [View all]
No he fucking doesn't Joe Buck. He never could.
Heard this bullshit watching the Seahawks game earlier. They were discussing the Bennett harassment and Buck dropped this stinky turd of a statement in praise of Seattle's coach... simply because he has sympathy for his team's players.
But no white guy will ever know what it means to be black in America. Just as I don't as a German / Dutch / Mexican / Korean who presents as 'white enough' in America.
This is so much of what BLM is about to me as an ally of equal rights. People assume that just having surface sympathy for a cause means they totally 'get it' when they can never experience it for themselves. It's surely a step in sharing sympathy - but thinking you grasp the whole of an issue when you don't also leads people to check out of the fight for equal rights because they imagine they are on the right side already because they aren't actively an asshole.
