I like you man, you are a goodamn genius.
I know, totally.
White people have it so hard! When will people open their eyes to our plight??
I don't know if you're really young, ignorant, and impressionable, or just an asshole. I hope it's the former and you still have time to learn.
I can't watch soccer in general, dumb sport.

Not once in my comment did I say that "white people have so hard." You seem to just be another internet tough guy trying to pass judgment on others.
I'm a black and educated, going to Law School to be a prosecutor. I'm not an asshole and I'm very open to learning new things.
What's your point again?
I'm a white guy but I dated a black girl who's parents and grandparents were/are racist. The one time I went to dinner at her house, her grandpa called me the white devil because I said I was going to college. Apparently to her grandfather an education makes you the devil.
Needless to say, I was speechless. Hard to believe there are people like that still alive.
My point is that your post can be taken as an implication that black people frequently and irrationally cite racism as a cause of violence and discrimination, but that white people don't stoop so low and the ones that do are called racist themselves.What's your point again?

This thread is just something else.
I also like the, "I'm a black" line followed by "educated"
This thread.

No, we're not, we swear! Race has nothing to do with it when a black girl beats up a white girl.Also why the fuck are people bringing race into it?
I'm a black.

Oh, but you can bet that if it was a white girl that attacked a black girl, people would be bringing race up! Double standard much?
What a shitty thread this turned out to be.

But yeah she dived then flipped out i imagine she had been awaiting payback for an earlier foul.

Holy fuck just because one confrontation between people of two different ethnicities might have some 'racism' roots doesn't mean EVERY single one should. Goddamn, if the white girl tackled the black girl, would be the exact same thing - two girls getting pissed at each other in a soccer game.
Fuck me.

Fixed?High school girls soccer is so painful to watch. I could beat off to either of those teams by myself.
the girl that got beat down was a good 3 feet or more away from her when she started to trip

Faceless Master mastertrolled the entire thread with his fauxoutraged parody post of the kind of comments posted on gaf lately.
Wow!
- Where you're from - Dublin Ireland
- Where you live - Boston, Ma (college in Ann Arbor Michigan, law school in Boston Ma)
- Your cultural heritage, lineage and genealogy - Mother is French/Black (by way of Nigeria) Father is Irish/White (met my mom at University, touching story too)
- Do you know your roots? - Only know about my Father's side, descendants of Spanish pirates who crashed off the coast of Cork in the 1700's.
- Your Age - 23
- Favorite musical genre - House/Techno/Trace After watching Tron I've been on a huge Daft Punk kick
- Your profession/major/career interest - Currently in Law School, graduating in a year and I'm going to be a prosecutor (what I've always wanted)
- Your religious affiliation - Catholic
- Hobbies - Video games, reading classic books, running, playing/watching soccer
I'm really light skinned (has to be the Irish in me) which has been both a blessing and a curse. Unless I tell people that I'm mixed, people assume that I have a Spanish/darker skinned white parent. My family (parents, brother and I) are going to Nigeria this summer and I couldn't be more excited. I am a little worried about racism over there though.
The trip or the "fight"? The trip is definitely something that happens in every game of soccer ever. Beating the shit out of a girl on the other team is definitely not something that happens normally at any level of sports.
This thread has already sunk to disgraceful levels with people being apologists ("I bet she said a racial slur" is really just as misguided the "Treyvon is a thug" defense force), the false equivalency ("where is the CNN spotlight and President Obama?" is a pretty dumb thing to say, no one is dead or seriously injured), and others throwing out "racist!" and "reverse racist!" while diluting the meaning of both terms.
If some white guy had punched Bruce Bowen in the throat during a game, I would have said he had it coming. And I'm black. Of course, that assessment requires context.
Fact - a ridiculously salty soccer player took a questionable call personally and ruined the game for everyone else. She deserves any punishment handed down by the league and the law. If her actions were racially, sexually, or religiously motivated, that will come out if anyone bothers to follow this story.

I couldn't help but try to figure out why he would lie about such a thing, but It looks like Mike is mixed.... not to derail... Not sure if the ban had to do with the lie..
Seems to pick and choose when hes white, or black though whilst posting.

I sure hope the family of the girl that was being hit presses charges.
Seeing as that the white girl was the one being hit, there will be no major news conferences/no Al Sharptons or Jesse Jacksons coming to get their time in the spotlight...and for good reason the violence was (based on what was seen on the video) not based on ethnicity.
If the situations were reversed however...
