I think it's just misinformation thinking Ngakoue is born in Afrika. Ngakoue has a father from Camaroon but he's on the record saying he's never been there, and wants to go. Wouldn't surprise me if Incognito said something like "get to Africa like you wanna" which is fair game IMHO if the guy is on the record saying he wants to.

Not at the table Karlos Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Why are people so sensitive? Who cares if someone calls you a name. Grow a pair and stop whining to twitter
shrader Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Why would the guy even make the tweet in the first place? There is absolutely nothing he can possibly gain from it other than unwanted attention during preparations for the next playoff game. It's another classic case of the "think before you hit submit" mentality that is badly needed. Even if he's 100% correct (or even 70%), nothing comes of it.

Ivy League schools take your little darlings and turn them into folks who think correctly, don't you know? Oh for crap's sake. Why not try to prove you can think independently without an Ivy League school, instead of slotting yourself into "think correctly" mode of your own (just a different mode of "correct" thinking, just as unoriginal).
Peter Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) For those of you who do not know or do not remember, Incognito had the support of the entire Dolphins locker room . . . except for one guy. Ask Mike Pouncey whether he thinks Incognito is a racist. Ask any of his Bills' teammates. Let's not assume one way or another just because one guy goes on twitter after a game and makes an accusation. Edited January 8, 2018 by Peter 3

You are assuming a fair amount based on a quick comment. I am a conservative, but more influenced by European thought. I am not a gun-toting Trump voter, for instance. I have a PhD in the humanities. I speak from experience. If one espouses proclivities for traditional Western culture (Homer and the Bible,) one will find it almost impossible to find an academic position. Progressive ideology has a stranglehold nearly everywhere from elite institutions to community colleges.

Paulus said this 18 minutes ago, sorry won't let me edit. Anyone who thinks any particular group, fictitious or real, needs to be "wiped from this country", is a worse cancer, disease, and terminal disease than the group of which they complain. Period. Even psychopaths and mass murderers deserve their day in court. Deny that, and you deny the "due process" and other legal principles that made this country great, which makes YOU the bigger problem.

Well, I assumed that was hyperbole. If meant seriously, it's certainly deplorable.
Billzgobowlin Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 At this point this Dlineman brought on a distraction. He should be worrying about the Steelers and not some statement he thought he heard that no one else did. If there is an issue please deal with it later because all it is right now is a distraction. 1

Your comment is unoriginal and, following up a comment about "wiping out" a group, proves you to be as much a "correct thinker" as anyone you might complain of. There are plenty of people teaching both traditional Bible and Greek lit at universities, including Ivy League ones. Now some smaller LA schools, you may have a point, but it has more to do with hiring priorities than esposed proclivities (ie, there is an institutional decision to hire more African history teachers and fewer Western history teachers) . This whole whining against so called "SJW" and so called "politically correct" thought has gotten way out of control, as or more out of control as the movements that spawned the reaction. I respect people who want diverse thought, I don't respect people who complain about "correct thought" while spewing their own brand of lockstep. 3 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Just for context’s sake: Yolo man, I love you, but your quotes are coming through to me dark blue and I can't read 'em.

Ivy League schools take your little darlings and turn them into folks who think correctly, don't you know? I would love to know which Big Brother decides what is "correct"?

I went to one of the most liberal universities in the country and graduated an admirer of Milton Friedman. As always - and as I do here much to the chagrin of some - I will continue to voice my views even if they are contrary to the "conventional" or board's "wisdom" on any particular subject. I would hope we all (regardless of which school one may have attended) would feel free to express our views rather than be lemmings and adhere to what the people who are the loudest or post more frequently may prefer. Having said that, I had to take a break from this board for a period of time. Just my two cents.

I did explain that I did not read the original message board comment as serious. If you want to continue to act as if I am party to a desire to actually wipe people out, that's not honest on your part. Lockstep that isn't really lockstep isn't lockstep, but fine, I can live without your respect.

The metaphysics of truth exceeds ideological conceptions, but that requires a discussion not germane to this kind of board. Naturally, one may graduate from any program and run counter to the ideals established by department chairs and the like.
