F150 owner. 

Joke. 

Bro, I am clueless as to what any of this means. I guess it was a joke that flew over my head. All good.

It’s astounding that in this day and age, he didn’t realize that his comment would be taken as racially insensitive….now the idiot had to come up with a forced apology. 

I hate to apologize for my own stupidity.

If I post full lyrics to some choice  rap songs on here, will mods remove them?

If I post Elvis, Nat King Cole, or Chuck Berry lyrics will my post be removed? If disliking the vulgarity of rap music and the culture that some sub-categories within rap props up, I guess I may be racist.

But I'm here to tell you, this doesn't fit the definition of racism, bigotry, or even discrimination. 

Is it possible that Cam could be distracted in practice while listening to music, which is why it seems like he has issues throwing guys open and anticipating routes in games? Unlikely considering the noise level at games would be similar to what you'd have with headphones.

Does saying "rap" music make dude racist? No. What would make him racist is if he thought that listening to a genre typically associated with white people wouldn't be a problem.

That was basically a KKK meeting at the QB. They knew he was going to be the face of the NFL with a SB win and just couldn't stand it. Using Whistles like you're too young for that call or running QBs don't get those calls.

Haha what? I agree the calls were BS and he was treated differently but a KKK meeting? Hahaha! They hated him because he made plays and celebrated while partying on the field as superman. I loved the hell out of it because he was with us and he is a good dude. Some people didn't but hardly a KKK meeting. If that were the case EVERY player of color who made an impact would be held down. Talk about reaching for straws here jesus man.

It's a term they use here for racists. I laugh every time I see it due to having a neighbor who is afriacn american that drives an F150 he customized. I guess my neighbor is racist too....? Makes no damn sense and is a stupid generalization as dumb as the generalizations they are supposedly always on the hunt for. I don't like trucks myself but if I had to have one I would probably opt for a silverado. I don't think they look too bad. Much prefer an SUV. I drive a toyota 4runner and I suppose it's "bad" too according to the tinder box mafia.

My god. Everything is racist on this message board. Unless you're black, then you can say whatever the hell you want about other races without any repercussions. Don't believe me? A dude literally said "f-150 owner to a poster" How is that not racist? check the Tinderbox too. It's just a mob of bullies who verbally abuse you and call you racist for not agreeing with them.  No wonder why this message board has slowly been dying. Remember the glory days 5-10 years ago? Its seen as a joke my most people around town. The owner (Zod) just lets it happen and is completely out of touch with at least half the fanbase. Self sabotage at its finest. Quite funny.  Ban me? Sure. Call me a racist? Go ahead.  Like I give a shiit. The Panthers are a joke of a team too. David Tepper will run this team to the ground. Sam Darnold as our QB? Just lol. I'd rather have Jameis Winston. We'll win 7 games at most

Getting called a racist based on the vehicle I drive. I would much prefer an SUV but my wife and I are rehabilitating an historic home and there are times I need the bed to haul.

I certainly didn't mean anything racist about it. I would appreciate if you wouldn't put that in someone's head considering he was talking to me, and not you.

I'm just not a Ford fan. So rest assured, I'm not calling you a racist, as some other clueless person attempted to explain what *I* meant. 

God Bless

poo.

Is owning an F-150 a problem now? I'm in a middle class neighborhood and am one of probably three or four white families while the other 85% are POC. 

There are at least seven or eight F-150 owners in my neighborhood and I'm the only white guy that owns one.

Guess we are all racist...

For owning a truck...to pick up sticks and move things and stuff...

I like you. But this is the type of B.S. response to a serious issue that goes on here. Stereotyping issues go both ways (or any infinite numbers of ways).
