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..

 

 

The Charlotte Observer is trash. This is the second time they did this to Cam. The first was that ridiculous cartoon of Cam with Hello Kitty on his chest. I'm not saying the local media needs to bow down to Cam, but they don't and shouldn't give these ignorant people a platform to trash him. Cam is a good guy. Why as the local media would you go out your way to find crazy people opinions about him to publish in the newspaper?  Also, their reasons for why they put her letter in the newspaper are stupid.

What do you mean by "my true feelings?" I'm simply stating that the majority of Cam's critics who are white (not all white people) are racists. It's clear as day.

Bye!!!

 

Categorizing most of Cam's critics as racist is stereotyping in and of itself. There are definitely critics of Cam who are racist but to say that most are racist is flat out ridiculous. I would guess that many critics of Cam don't know much about him and just remember things that the media was saying before he was drafted and the laptop and recruiting, etc. And they would see him with the towel on his head and assume he was immature without knowing Cam whatsoever. Plus there's the jealousy of people who's favorite team doesn't have a good QB as we've seen in some of the fanbases of teams we've faced this year and they hate him because he beats their teams and is happy about it. If Cam was on the Aints, Falcons or Bucs most Panthers fans would hate him and probably spew some of the same things that others do now about how he's immature or whatever just because we would hate the fact that he's a rival.

Let's be very clear here...

 

Cam is fighting against the status quo and white culture in the NFL. He's fighting against preconceived notions of what a QB is in the NFL both on the field and off. This is a guy who has been seen with and is friends with rappers Common and Young Jeezy. This has all been well documented. Pockets of society are resisting this, the examples are everywhere in this forums threads. For the most part, i think Cam has been embraced and is a breathe of fresh air to many. More and more people are seeing what we have seen the past five years.

 

He walked into his presser today smiling, kind of a oh snap what questions am i gonna be asked today. He reads and watches all of this. He knew about the lady in Tennessee. Cam knows exactly what he is doing and how it's being perceived by some folks. It reminds me of the Miami Hurricane's in the 90s who won all those national titles and were not afraid to show their own culture and upbringing. Those players were called thugs and poor sportsman's.

 

Just keep fuging winning and keep pounding. And Cam needs to continue to be himself. Everyone in that lockerroom has bought in.

I'm not stereotyping anyone. I'm telling it like it is.

You're acting like I'm saying that ALL white people who hate Cam are racists. That's not what I'm saying at all.

I said MOST of them are. I see it when they write in code and I hear it when they speak. 

I'm not just making this up out of thin air.

You saying "MOST of them are" would be the same as someone saying "MOST black people are criminals" just because they happen to see a few black folks who are criminals.

Terrible comparison.

"Most" black people don't get arrested.

"Most" black people don't commit crimes.

"Most" white people that criticize Cam DO use the "code words" to which Cookie is referring.

You sho' is sensitive about this for some reason.

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.

EVEN with your ADVANCED DEGREES, you still don't understand. You, of all people, should know that EVERYONE isn't racist about something Prejudice, yes! Racist, NO! . You, of all people should understand AND KNOW what racism really is. There is a HUGE difference. Again, don't ignore it.

I agree that most black people aren't criminals but not that most people who criticize Cam use "code words." That's absurd.

You clearly didn't understand what I wrote. I'm not explaining myself again.

I understood what you wrote just fine. You claim that most of Cam's critics use code words with underlying racism. Unless you've heard every single one of Cam's critics speak about him then there's no way you can generalize like that. Cam has millions of critics in this country and to say most of them are racist, like you have, is just completely ridiculous.

      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

      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.
