    CometsWin if you'd like we can continue the conversation in the D&D to not derail this thread any further. So let me know. I've owned you repeatedly over there exposing your hypocrisy for the bigot you are.

    For now let's stay on topic and the origin of this thread, which was taken out of context and blown way out of proportion. I think Stats deserved the right to defend himself when people put words in his mouth, which he did.

    Why don't you respond to Stats comment? I think you owe him an apology for this r****ded thread.

    Let's check them. Pull them all up from my entire history here.

    I criticized both Mayweather and Pacquiao. Again, pull up the posts.

    When you're finished embarrassing yourself I'll accept an apology.

    You clearly do and are projecting. It's ok. I don't hate you for it. People like you are a dime a dozen and closet racists. It's cool you hate black people. That's how you were probably raised. Myself, I just think Lin sucks. Have the mods pull up all my posts on Yao. Like I said, let's put my post history against yours. I honestly feel sorry for you. 1k to the tip jar?

    The only thing you've owned is the title of angry Asian race card thrower. I'm still waiting for you to present the material effect of racism on Asians. Waiting... waiting... waiting...

    LOL at you calling errrreybody a racist that disagrees with you.

    You are pathetic. I really hope you put your money where your mouth is.

    We can even let Clutch make the final decision

    That's fine. I was under the impression you were over critical of Pac and Lin. I've said many times I actually like Mayweather and am a fan of is, but I never heard you say before a nice thing about Pacquiao. I may have missed your other posts so maybe its the sample size.

    For you to say I hate black people? That's funny because I am a fan of many black athletes and celebrities, and have many friends who are black in Houston and other States. That's a description of someone who hates black people? Ok. I do hate hypocrisy and I've been compelled to voice my opinion when I see outright ignorance and if that tends to be certain pro-black posters then maybe it seems like it's "anti-black". At the core of it, its about hypocrisy that I felt needed to be addressed.

    This is what I'm talking about. You don't think Asians experience racism? That shows your ignorance but you're too narrowminded to see it.

    Save it. You chose to clearly paint me as a "BOF" and racist against Asians and now are tucking tail. It's not "fine". Why should I simply shrug my shoulders and accept your ""my bad" when you clearly accused me of being racist? Sorry, that's not something I take lightly and it clearly shows what poor character you have.

    Sounds like the "I have a black friend" excuse and I'm not buying it at all. Again, you called me into question and I'm willing to put 1k on the tip jar if I'm wrong. Own your words, coward

    This is one of the stupidest threads in the history of the board. I am sorry Red Redemption, but this is just a blatant attempt to troll LOF's.

    If I had read this thread before voting, I would have voted "Yes" as I am sure many others have just to stick it to you for even going there. No one is comparing Lin to Robinson they are only trying to use him as an example of why they feel the way they do to make a point.

    They do.
    the lin fans don't think yao was asian so they don't identify with him.

    You've already done it for me. It's sad you don't know that but at the same time I feel bad for people like yourself.

    You will get real angry and throw multiple tantrums regarding jeremy Lin and they will fall on deaf ears because everyone now knows you are a racist

    Hope you change our ways dude. Good luck

    Says the guy who has no proof. Because it never happened.

    I only got angry at the hypocrisy of certain posters and their displays of ignorance. I never said anything insinuating I didn't like black people. You shouldn't say things like that unless you have proof.

    It's a stupid point. Jackie Robinson went through death threats, segregation, the Klan, players trying to kick his ass, fans spitting at him and calling him slurs. There's no comparison. On top of that, Robinson was an MVP and a Hall of Famer. Lin is a backup point guard with a $25 million contract. It's insulting to compare whatever racism Lin experiences to what happened in Jackie Robinson's era. It's just not comparable, at all.

    This is laughable. You are the one who accused me of racism and then retracted it. My post still stands; 1k to the tip jar at who is wrong. No agenga there.

    In the future, you should really choose your comments more carefully and to whom you address them. Honestly, your racism doesn't bother me. I can laugh it off but it may be time for you to look in the mirror.

    Like I said, I feel sorry for you man. I wish you the best but your racial prejudices are sad.

    While most LOF's are insane and I, myself, don't feel Lin is that good of a player, I can see where that guy is coming from and why he has all that anger. For the record I'm not calling you a racist by any means, but you do have to admit that unfortunately racism towards Asians in this country is a lot more tolerated and accepted than it should be. And racism towards Asians also seems to get brushed off more. It's like when Mayweather told Pacman to make him some sushi rolls and everyone thought it was funny...imagine the backlash if it was Pacman that told Mayweather to make him some fried chicken or something.
