Racist Purdue fan against RU ladies

[ScarletDave]

You know, since we’ve been in the big ten I’ve noticed (especially on twitter) that the fan bases of our conference “mates” are full of old fashioned mindset people with lots of racism. This response on twitter from a Purdue fan really has me upset... “I’ll never forget Don Imus’s characterization of Rutgers” .. along those lines.

Dave, you can try to fix ignorance, but you can't fix stupid.

It's really sad (and infuriating) that there are people in this world who not only think like that, but also aren't afraid or ashamed to say things like that in public. This man's comment is disgraceful, but I would hope he does not represent the majority of their fan base. I also wonder how the Purdue players and coaching staff would feel about his comments. They are a racially diverse team. I wonder if he knows that we held a moment of silence to pay tribute to their former student, Tyler Trent, who was a wonderful young man and a super Purdue fan. Rutgers showed class, even if people like Scott Innis can't.

A white high school crowd in Minnesota sat in the stands this week with Trump banners while playing against an all black team. This is who we are. It will never stop.

Rutgers is a racially diverse University and that includes its athletic department and all the sports programs it runs.
Recruiting in a racially and ethnically diverse manner is how all RU sports fill their roster.

But like everything ,when it comes to the general population of the USA , there might be some who just are prejudiced and the idea of being racially or ethnically diverse is just foreign to their way of thinking.

That might include a few of the RUWBB,MBB &/or FB fanbases.
Or: hopefully, everyone posting on this board accepts the best way to treat their fellow man/women is in a racially & ethnically diverse way

Take a look at the RU Rivals Current Events message board. There are racists and nuts EVERYWHERE.

Take a look at his Twitter feed before you spread hatred against this gentleman. He retweeted approvingly:

"A modest proposal: The cure for ignorance is understanding. Covington Catholic High School should organize a spring break project doing service on a Native American reservation."

Does that sound like a racist? Sounds to me like he was saying "I'll never forget" because I was upset.

And he referenced Don Imus' comment about nappy headed ho's.. was that necessary and what would you conclude from that tweet?

People are way too quick with crying “racist” these days and by no means am I saying racism does not exist in the world today.

It would be nice but I don't think so. What about his comment to this post?

You're right; not a good tweet. Yet, the poor guy has Parkinson's and Parkinson's patients can suffer from impulse control. I'm going to wish him well and assume he's a fine man.

I didn’t take it that way at all. I, too, will forever remember that moment. Don’t we all?
