Do you "Disown" People?

Scenario:

A white athlete -- let's say a football player -- is a tremendously successful running back in high school. Against all odds, he becomes a top recruiting prospect for a Division I NCAA team, and becomes their number one ball carrier.

After a three or four year stint as a college running back where in he does exceedingly well and sets several school records, he becomes a top NFL draft prospect.

He gets drafted by a lousy team but his presence immediately brings a lot of media attention to that team, and he anchors a steady improvement in that team over the next couple of seasons.

In his first three years as starting NFL running back for his team, this white athlete is among the top five running backs in the league in yards per carry and overall yards gained per season.

However, what if this white athlete -- all through high school, college, and his pro career -- basically acted like a stereotypical "wi66er"?

As in, he speaks in a sloppy "ebonics" manner, sags his pants like a thug, speaks disrespectfully of women, wears tacky jewelry, paints his car in effeminate colors and inappropriate wheels and rims, speaks disdainfully of other whites and socializes almost exclusively with blacks, doesn't seem all that bright, and never addresses the issue of the political unfairness whites face in American sports?

Does he lose his "white card"?

Or, do you still celebrate him in the hopes that his anomaly-success will lead to other whites succeeding, too?

Don't worry, this scenario is likely to never happen. Just ask:

Travis Jervey
Luke Staley
Chance Kreschner
Jesse Lumsden
Tommy Vardell
Brian Leonard
(and countless others)

Now if you said starting fullback it might be a more believable scenario.

As far as being a wigger, well I doubt anyone that graduates high school let alone college is still a wigger, but even if they still can not grow out of it in the NFL, they are still white and count as positive enforcement against the system.

Of course I would wonder if he was given playing time since he acted black. Then again with so many authentic blacks playing football, why would they pick a white wannabee?

Does he lose his "white card"?

The only "white cards" I know of are DNA and a birth certificate confirming one was born to white parents. The way people act doesn't change their genetic race. It may be an annoying act of self-hatred and stupidity, but they are still white.

Wiggers are the ones that seemingly disown whites that act like whites, not the other way around.Edited by: FieldThrower

The only wigger athlete I can think of is Jason Williams. Other than that, I think most white athletes, while at times will socialize with blacks, still recognize themselves as white men and conduct themselves in such a manner.

If I only rooted for white athletes who shared my world view, i.e. racially aware, I don't think anyone in the NFL would still have their "white card." This is pretty obvious trolling here, trying to cause dissention by bringing into question what White is when the answer is obvious to anyone but an idiot.

OR, maybe not everyone thinks like you do.



The answer isn't obvious to me, so I guess I'm an idiot -- to you, anyway.


Has it ever occurred to you that many white athletes -- even in the NFL -- might possibly, actually THINK along the same lines as you, but fear being ostracized in our politically correct (i.e., anti-white) climate? I played high school football and many of my white teammates would talk about this stuff all the time to ourselves, but we wouldn't talk to our coach about it because we'd get reamed for being racist or "anti teamwork."

I'm fairly certain that white athletes -- especially the professional ones -- know the kind of racism they face.

I'm talking about a hypothetical situation where a successful white athlete rejects his race and doesn't care about the unfairness faced by his white peers. Would he still be rooted for by whites?

Floyd Patterson was a successful black boxer who basically "lost his black card" by calling out Muhammed Ali on his poor behavior and racist talk.

I personally wouldn't root for a white athlete who so irresponsibly rejected my own values. Even if he was great on the field. If Hitler were a champion high jumper I'd still boo him.


If you have such harsh words for people who are generally sympathetic
toward your views, I can only imagine how abhorrent your attitude must
seem to people who are neutral or are part of your opposition.



Maybe the problem isn't me, but your belief that you're Sherlock Holmes. No troll here, pal, unless it's you.



If anyone's ignoring the spirit of this board, it's you my friend

Let's try to remember to be civil to each other, especially newcomers. Not everyone new is a troll and remember "there are no stupid questions."

As to Mr. Marconi's question, yes we debate white athletes and the support we would give them based upon their agreement with our point of view. Brett Favre is a classic example, both hated and loved by many on this board often at the same time (myself included).

We have discussed Casey Combest, a highly talented sprinter that was quite obviously a whigger and how we felt about that.

Even Brandon Stokely was open to some criticism for a TV interview in which he appeared quite "whiggerish".

Whether to support an athlete or not is a personal choice and certainly their personal attitudes and actions off the field is part of it. Although for the larger picture their race is their uniform and we are all wearing the same one.

"Whiggers" are still white...however, their attempt to emulate something they aren't is pathetic, foolish and an embarrasment to themselves, their families & Whites in general. I think it quite childish, but I've seen "whiggers" that appear in their mid to late 20's, which is unexcusable IMO. However, it's (supposed to be) a free society here in our Constitutional Republic, so to each their own.
