Jpsredemption Posted February 20, 2022 Author Posted February 20, 2022 This post should not be taken down. It’s Bills relevant and it’s posted on the front page of the local news. 1
BuffaloBillyG Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 Wait, the Buffalo News is still a thing? 1 3
julian Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 Is anyone really surprised ? People will jump to dismiss this as irrelevant and overblown because many who believe in racial equality have good intentions, and blatant racism against whites displayed on font pages of newspapers somehow discredits “real racism” therefore it cannot actually be racism. It’s really strange 1
JaCrispy Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 You don’t end racism by being more racist...It’s as simple as that...👍 3 1
eball Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 It’s not an “article” as others have noted, it’s a letter to the editor. It’s not “on the front page” of the physical newspaper, it’s in a column labeled “trending now” on the online version. Is it intentional by the News editors to draw readers? Probably. The letter already has 70+ comments, and it’s a schittshow as one might expect. Like it or not, racism (in the NFL and elsewhere) is still a very real issue. It’s very sad that some people are still so threatened by anyone suggesting that the white-privileged world we live in might not be perfect. The premise of the letter — that McD should be fired so the Bills can “end racism” by hiring a black HC — is obviously ludicrous. 1 2 1

teef Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 I thought this would be a bigger deal than it is. Reading that was a giant nothing, and it should be taken that way.

Person gets offended by an obviously racist letter and all of a sudden it flips back to white privilege. How about just call out problems when you see them and stop twisting everything back to race? 1 2
Simon Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 It's not an "article" It's not on the "front page" The news has not "fully endorsed racism". It's an online letter to the editor from a random schmuck desperate for attention. If you'd like to provide that attention to him you can start another thread that is not full of disinformation. 2 1 1 3 2
