Hey Don, we’re on the same page. I did read all of his other posts. The football stuff and Packers praise (of almost all black players) was annoying and against the site purpose. I just thought it strange that you flagged this post, which was his only good one, vs all the other football ones. But yes, he would have been a bad fit here if he was going to try to lecture us on how great Love is.
You missed the subtlety of his post and why I asked him the question I did. He wrote, "
This is probably the most blatant case of racism in pro sports I've ever seen."
Notice what he
didn't write: "This is probably the most blatant case of
anti-White racism in pro sports I've ever seen." That's why, after reading his other posts I asked him the question I did. That's what's known as a tell.
And notice his response: "What does that have to do with the topic?" It has everything to do with the topic and with the site he was posting on. My guess is that he believes there's still racism against black QBs in the NFL and against blacks in other leagues and sports, or alternatively that McClung is an outlier.
What you do is check out a site, get a feel for it for a while, see if you agree with it or not, and then if you do agree with it, sign up and begin posting. Instead this guy just started posting. We don't need to "prove" the existence of the Caste System to him. The evidence is overwhelming and my guess again is that he didn't bother lurking or reading anything, just began posting.
I don't need anyone telling me how to moderate newbies. If you have an objection then send me a PM. I'm not going to discuss it further on this thread. There's a lot that goes on "behind the scenes" that I don't post about and have no need to justify. I've always moderated CF in a way that I believe is in the best interests of the site and its supporters.
I'll add that this poster wasn't banned permanently, only for a few months. During that time period if he wants to lurk and learn more about the Caste System and finds that he agrees with us then he's welcome back as he does seem to have a lot of knowledge of football and basketball.
