I didn't read the article, couldn't bring myself to do it....but who on earth refers to young black men as "brothers" in this day and age?  <----Brian Gates, apparently.

The Guthrie, Okla., linebacker is working toward his final season of high school football, but the recruiting process has not slowed down much for the three-star rated prospect, who slowed down from running super fast to jive with our Brian Gates.

embarrassing

Ummm... his last name was Brothers. So by that standard, I think it's alright.

Didn't know people still used the word "jive."

Everyone, stop what you're doing and awkwardly start looking over at MIR for an official ruling... Or Trim could forward it to his cousin I guess

True story:  OK_Cat knows this kid.  "Does things the right way"

No way in hell he goes to Manhattan, though.

It's cool, he totally knows a black guy and they are friends and stuff.

First thing I thought about doing was PM'ing MIR and check on whether he was as upset about this as I was.  But, then I thought "No, I am going to take a stand against this racism."  So I did.  Pay it forward, MIR.

Do you think he constantly checked over his shoulder (to make sure no black dudes were around) as he typed this article?  Or is he more in your face about his racisim?

[MakeItRain]

Gates is from Beloit it would be more of a surprise if he didn't hate minorities.  Rumblings that he used the word coons instead of brothers but the fat boy made him change it to seem more "down."


edit:  the auto correct on this EVO is starting to piss me off.

He's OPcatJohn's favorite GPC writer, and that really tells you all you need to know.
