Shani Davis skips opening ceremony after losing coin toss [and making racial tweet]

come on, admit it, racists got triggered by this Tweet.

 

to give credit to your claim he wasn't pulling the race card

 

that's the irony in it. February has repeatedly expressed disdain for various races.

 

no you need to admit he pulled the race card like you liberals have taught blacks to do when they don't get their way

 

my abilityb to view his Tweets is pending.

once it is approved, I will prove to you all that he has Tweeted about Black Histiry Month before.

and it will be clear that this is simply an issue of racists feeling triggered.

 

everything is about race and everyone is racist. you can't change the rules, bro.

oh, and Putin, Russians, misogyny, bigots and homophobe. yippee

 

according to the GOP aka American Fascist Party

 

you didn't ask, but i'm going to elaborate on my philosophy anyway because i'm a prick like that.

i find it concerning how the language of finance capitalism, all about value and investment and whatnot, is being applied to human personalities. i think it's incredibly psychologically destructive to treat people like they exist to be traded and turn a profit. i advocate for the mindful, purposeful, and controlled indulgence in waste, destruction, excess, and laziness as a means to connect oneself with one's own human qualities in the face of an inhuman culture

 

don't hate the player hate the game which was created by our friendly neighborhood neo-marxists.

also, a big thank you for the partial quotes. it really brightens my day when I see you folks twist in the wind getting lost in the turbulence you've created.

 

Damned racist two headed coin! Right?
Do you really see nothing wrong with the loser of a coin toss to determine flag bearer for the Olympic team (both received an equal amount of votes for the honor) calling a ubiquitous customary fifty-fifty tie breaker "dishonorable"? And then skipping the opening ceremonies altogether? Really?

He's eliminated himself, in my view, from any future consideration for the honor given his childish bitter inability to accept the fairest
way, under the circumstances, to determine the honor here possible. And you need to wake up also.

 

Then you explain why this guy Davis called the customary and innocuous method of choosing a winner for a team honor "dishonorable"?
Is there any other possible explanation? I think not.

Erin Hamlin, the other person in this little flap, has her own accomplished back story which I suggest you look up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Hamlin
She is not a nobody and is just as deserving of the honor as Davis and his
sour grapes.

 

The left already has.

 

Don't see the op mentioned anywhere in my posting.
Typical of you dems. Fabricate things to fit your narrative.

 

he didn't accuse anyone of racism.


looks like the racists got triggered, and see accusations of racism everywhere!!!!

 

hell yeah

 

Something wrong with it, doesn't make it a racist statement.
But RWers see everything in binary, so that means to RWers it's a racist statement. There's no credibility to work with.

 

LOL. The OP is a fabrication. A RWer, and by your logic, a marxist.

 

So he called it "dishonorable" and use the hashtag for black history month by accident?

 

The coin flip happened.. His reaction happened.. Calling it a fabrication is borderline loonyville.

 

I called the OP saying it was a racist tweet a fabrication. Your post is loonyville.

 

So some leftists have claimed and I am willing to listen to any other plausible explanation that accounts for this black winter Olympics athlete's accusation he was disrespected and "dishonored" by a simple coin flip.

Haven't heard one yet from you and your pals. Gee, shocking! I'll add your name to the list of those who are sure we are wrong but cannot say why. (speaking of credibility problems).

 

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of blacks in U.S. history. The event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month.

Nope not by accident. Looneyville to think the tweet was racist.

 

Everyone would be making an ASSumption as to what his motive for the statement was, other than he was obviously upset.
And many make stuff up and call it racist.
Only racists would see racism in the tweet.

And now you make up yet another false accusation by saying he tweeted he was disrespected. That's not in the OP either. There's that credibility thingy.

Here, read his tweet, slooowwwwly.

I am an American and when I won the 1000m in 2010 I became the first American to 2-peat in that event. @TeamUSA dishonorably tossed a coin to decide its 2018 flag bearer. No problem. I can wait until 2022. #BlackHistoryMonth2018#PyeongChang2018pic.twitter.com/dsmTtNkhJs

His coin toss had nothing to do with the month it was in. He lost and played the race card.. No wonder you want to discuss anything but.

 

Nope, you, the OP, and a few other RWers are the only one's to have played a race card. <Rule 2/3>

There is not 1 hint of race in his tweet.
