Words chosen to make a description come from were a person comes from, we all have different back grounds from which we draw comparisons, which come with different descriptives, when theses different backgrounds are mingled descriptives can then be miss interpreted, so then get taken out of context, it happens, there was no malice there. If one finds a descriptive abrasive, then it becomes a learning opportunity for the parties involved. What race we are is not nearly as important as how we conduct our lives.

elroy16 Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Reading those made me want to run through a f*&#ing wall. This was the most encouraging though. Quote Cole Beasley: Cannon "He's got a gun. Like, the first couple of weeks I came in, he was firing that thing. And I actually had to tell him, 'Dude, I'm right here. Right now, we're in routes on air and it's tough. When there's linemen in there and I can't see you, it's going to be really tough because I'm not going to see you. I'm just going to see the ball.' But he's improved so much in that regard and now he just places it to me. It's perfect." Expand Other good ones about his improvement that I liked. Quote Lorenzo Alexander: Malleable "I think he's been extremely coachable, receiving information, obviously, from (Brian) Daboll but even Matt (Barkley) and Derek (Anderson) last year. Just receiving that and really trying to change his game. And I've seen the fruits of that just on the field this year in OTAs, the preseason, just his command and stuff with the ball. He's still growing and then I think just as a person, too, being more aware of who he is and some of the situations that he's grown from and listening." Tre'Davious White: Ascending "He's getting better and better. You could just tell just from practicing against him, from last (year's) OTAs to this OTAs, the second-year jump, you can see it for sure in his decision-making, making accurate throws. And then reading defenses, too. So I feel like you know you've been doing a great job against us." Expand 1 1

Expand Why does Dion have the need to remind us Josh is white? Is it harder for white people to have swag? If Cogs says the same thing about a QB of color there would be a backlash. Similar to Dave Chappelle, a white comedian would be destroyed if he/she made similar jokes to most of the ones Dave does in his new special. FYI I think Sticks and Stones is hilarious. Dion and the populous at large would have been better served if he had just said Josh is a big kid with swag.

iinii Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 What I am saying is what we see in children. Kids who aren’t raised with bias, learned from their parents usually, don’t see skin color at all.
