Scared White People Are Running Out of Reasons to Hate Cam Newton

The best part about this whole situation: Cam is in our opponents' heads. Football just like chess: you can make all the right moves, sacrifice your pawn for a bishop, etc. and you may win. But when you can play with your opponent's psychology - when you force them to focus on something other than the play at hand...well that is when you know you've won. Think about how dominant the Panthers will be when other NFL teams are playing ONLY to stop Cam from diving into the endzone. Over-pursuits, missed assignments, stupid penalties...all to keep one guy from dancing.

Cam may just be the smartest QB to play the game.

Keep dancing Cam! Keep dancing!

The funny thing is Cam iIS a great role model, but that has nothing to do with it. People hate Cam because they hate Cam. Russell Wilson can dab and everyone would laugh and it would be great. Cam can't pay his taxes without someone getting (fake) outraged by the way he signed his signature. It is what it is.

To be fair, his signature on his taxes did seem fake and immature.

That's only partially true. Beast Mode did all right this year with Skittles and that one where he was late to class and finally Black Ops 3 and I remember just earlier this year him being very controversial for grabbing his crotch as he fell into the end zone backwards. It depends. Always. But I don't see how Cam could be looked at as more controversial than Lynch....from the perspective of an advertiser anyways.

Keep in mind the audience that they are shooting for with Lynch, under 30 years olds who typically like controversial subjects and wont boycott products based on a players behavior.  Cam has done pretty well with Underarmor and Gatorade and the same thing applies, the market is young physically active people who may reject standard conventions and mores.  But when you mentioned State Farm that is a very different market which is much older and mature and a lot more prone to avoiding controversy.  BTW I have no expertise in marketing or advertising so what I am saying is speculation on my part and might be totally wrong.

Moving on. 

I'm betting this was the one that provoked @Jeremy Igo (rightly) into posting his Clean Up The Huddle And Your Own Acts post.

I think a simple dab should be incorporated in the Purrcusion drum line routine and the Top Cats pregame routine. Cheerleaders line up in the high kick long line and dab together just before their 1st kick. Awesome!

 

The whole team should dab on dem when the thanksgiving Turkey is being carved after we whoop the cowgirls. It will be a nice F U to all the haters on national TV

Just because you choose to ignore it(racism) doesn't mean that it isn't there. Prejudice and racism are two entirely different things. Sociology 101. I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

I dont ignore racism in fact I admitted that everyone is racist about something.  And while all prejudice isn't rooted in racism, all racism is rooted in prejudice.  Psychology and Sociology 101. Two subjects I have advanced degrees in BTW.  So whether you explain it or not, I totally understand it.  The question appears whether you do or not.

Most of the attacks you see against Cam's dancing are due those people hating black culture. Most of them are not racist (believing the black race is inferior), nor are they bigots (intolerant toward those holding different opinions). They simply hate certain aspects of black culture. Why? It's an emotional response, so don't expect a clear and logical explanation. They see the dancing, feel upset/offended/angry ect, and then express their feelings by complaining.
 
In black culture dancing is in general more sexually suggestive. White culture, for centuries, practiced dancing that was anything but sexually suggestive. This began to change when black culture began to effect white culture. Elvis Presley, and other white entertainers, decided to dance in a slightly sexually suggestive manner. Most white people were highly offended, and tv stations refused to film Elvis dancing below the waist early in his career. Keep in mind that America was settled in part by religions puritans, and their DNA is still in the white population today. Why does DNA matter? Religious susceptibility and piousness are tied to a mild form of STPD which can be hereditary.
 
The bottom line is that the people complaining need to be ignored by the media. Will that happen? Of course not because it's their job to stir the pot.

I listened to Bomani Jones yesterday and he said he contacted the Charlotte Observer on why they would run a story of the woman complaining that her 9 year old was offended. He said he asked the reporter why of all the letters they got they would pick a negative story to run on their own state's QB. It wasn't a column story, it was an email they received that they decided to run. The reporter said it was news worthy? 

His question as I brought this up yesterday myself on another post is why would you go out your way to negatively showcase Cam unless you wanted to INTENTIONALLY put him in a negative spotlight..Even our own local media have issues with Cam Newton..It's apparent he won't be able to do anything right for a lot of folks and it has nothing to do with Football why he receives so much hate..

      Panthers need to move on from Young ASAP

      By strato · Posted

      38 seconds in tells me he is full of poo and is spinning for clicks. You know how they say in court, where if they lie once you can assume they are lying always?  To me Riddick is doing a pretty spiteful thing I think, by putting those words in someone's mouth. Unless he knows that is true. Which I doubt. An honest person would not have said that to Tepper, so he basically assaulting Canales. It is not Canales' fault that Young will not adhere to the the coaching he was obviously given. And of course I am referring to that Buffalo series and the very noticeable footwork change. Evidence that he had the opportunity to be a better player but reverted to his wonky ass 'techniques'. Because it is fuging hard not to. But that is still on Young for not getting that done. And unless he gets it done he is just a fraud. A wannabe NFL quarterback, playing at it. I mean NFL quarterbacks are kicking his ass, even the rookies.  If he works to change this steadily he may be able to get it ingrained in a couple more months. That is as optimistic as I can be for him.  Riddick though, I don't don't listen to sports talk any more except what youtube clips I like but I used to think pretty highly of him. This is pretty sad, to see this scapegoating.  I can put words into Canales mouth too: "Mr Tepper, I have a pretty good feel for working with these guys, and have had some luck with it. You know Baker pretty well. That's my work with him.  But I have to be honest, I'm not sure i can promise I can fix Bryce. He has many challenges. There are things we can do to help but so much of it is up to him. If he is willing to listen and work, I am sure we can make him a better QB. How good will be up to him."   blah blah blah blah

      My Mother visited 3 Doctors in Florida and 4 in North Carolina before anyone cared

      When dementia gripped my grandmother (and eventually took her), we each spent time with her and would try to correct her to what was reality and what wasn't. It was very tough on my Dad who she lived with for as long as they could care for her.  It seemed like she had become detached from her own timeline and would slide up and down it wildly. As my Dad said, "somedays I'm me to her, somedays I'm my Dad, somedays I'm her father, somedays I'm just the guy who works here. I tried correcting her but it just upset her. I found out that the best thing is to just not correct her and let her live out where ever and whenever she is."  And I'm not going to lie, it gets tough and eventually they leave their own timeline and it becomes unmanageable. Hold on to yourself and the ones you love through it all. Prayers for you and yours, man.
