I think that's being veerrrrrry kind.Like I said I don’t know if he’s racist but I doubt there are many non racists who would tweet like that. Not just once but again and again.
No-one I know would “joke” like that.
I know some people here used to post on the old KFFL boards? He was the screen name Still Swingin' over there and was regarded as a total joke. A Steelers fan but a Peyton Manning fan even more...
He should've been fired just for that alone.What a horrible combination.
They're not. There's worse in the New York Times and mainstream media about white people every single day.Inb4 one of a very specific subgroup of Patsfans posters chimes in to say the tweets "aren't that bad"

bro, you are waaayyyy reading into those from your imagination, but I don't really want to get into it on sb weekend
we are on to the rams
It's not just that it's racist. At this point, if you, as a white person, are stupid enough to be in the public eye and leave even questionably racial material on your twitter feed, you have the kind of stupid that can't be fixed. When James Gunn was fired from Guardians of the Galaxy, everyone with 3 brain cells should have gone through their own twitter feed and deleted anything remotely questionable.
The other thing is that there really isn't a 'sliding scale' for racial comments, and it really doesn't take a lot of intelligence to know where the line is. Hint: if you're referring to someone's race IN ANY WAY, or calling attention to a racial difference IN ANY WAY you're probably doing it wrong. Even if it seems innocuous, what's the point? What are you going to gain?
