Here in Europe nyjah probably wouldn't count as black.

But in the US you have that one drop rule, right?

Correct me If I am wrong. I am not an expert on american culture.

You’re correct. It’s not really the one drop rule as it is physical attributes. Remember the United States as a whole is highly uneducated and racism still is perpetuated and encouraged by the powers that be. Anyone doubting Nyjah being black are likely the same people that would yell all lives matter and call nyjah the “n” word if he did something personally offensive to them like sleep with their girl.

lol, no not me. all lives dont matter until black lives matter

You're probably right. I just want to point out that "racism still is perpetuated and encouraged by the powers that be" holds as true for Europe as it does for the US.

Saying Nyjah wouldn't count as black in Europe (as was done in the previous post) is highly problematic in my eyes. Of course, it depends on how "black" is defined and I don't want to get into the details, but suffice to say that unfortunately Nyjah would be - depending on the situation of course - subject to severe racism in Europe. Racism works a little differently over here, but Europe is in no position to point a finger at the US. Just sayin'.

As said, not a direct reaction to your post, but the one before it.

Wait a minute. I didn't say that Niyjah couldn't/wouldn't face racism in Europe or disparage the US in any way. Of course he is at a higher risk of facing racism in Europe as well. I was just saying that in, say, Western Europe you wouldn't say "he's black" (I don't know how things are in eastern Europe). That doesn't automatically mean he is seen as white or free from possible oppression.

People don't say Turks/Arabs are "black" either, but they suffer a lot of racism here. You don't have to be black to face racism in Europe. It is enough if you belong to any other minority.


I just pointed out that here the most people wouldn't call nyjah black. But in the US thats normal.

I live in Western Europe and I would've said he's black. Not sure where you're getting your data from

[baaaaaaguette]

Can you fucking stop derailing threads honestly. Hey rawbacon how about you use those clever little fingers of yours and you go make a specific thread to call out someone not being black enough for your taste, you fuckin muffin

Mh yeah you are right. But i assume you just have as many differences between different states in the US als you have in Europe between different countries.

You have over 300 Mio people living in the US if i would compare it to let's say france it wouldn't feel right.

Do you think people across Europe speak European?

ok smart ass, say one european country that can be compared to the US in terms of cultural differences, different timezones and population.

I am from Europe myself.

Damn this topic is exhausting. I didn't think that people get so heated about what I think people in Europe would call Nyjah. Sorry for bringing that up

I said "probably most people" and not "all people". You can say Nyjah is black any day you want. Nyjah belongs to a minority in Europe and the US, even if you wouldn't say he is black and for that can be a victim of racism, no questions asked.

I just wanted to point out that you are likely called black in the US and not that likely in Europe if you have a lighter skin tone, even if you have let's say african ancestors.

Nyjah's lawyers are taking a hard look the Nike athlete code of conduct employment contract that's for sure. I'd imagine the IOC is going to need to be extremely careful if they have any chance of actually pulling off Tokyo this Summer and don't exactly want this kind of attention associated with their grand unveiling of snakeboarding.

You keep speaking for all of Europe while making sweeping statements on race, and are now frustrated that people have been responding. Which is all very silly of you.

Wow crazy that an article written to drag Nyjah and shame his covid parties wouldn't even mention he's a future US Olympian. Classy I guess?

[Coldpizza]

Wow, what a mess this thread is...

[lovermangenius]

I'm waiting for o see if any sponsor's drop him..like pretty sure any other industry he'd be dropped asap.

I don't know about that. James Harden was partying in clubs with Lil Baby when he was supposed to be at training camp and he just had a new signature adidas shoe released. Stephen Jackson repeatedly defended an athlete who posted a (fabricated) quote from Hitler and said that he was right about Jews, and he still has a show on Showtime.

Athletes and entertainers get a lot of leeway in this country, mostly because people here just don't give a shit.
