So did anyone actually catch covid from this event, or was there just a potential?

Be kinda sweet if the pigs look into the rape case since he’ll, at worst, get a manageable fine for the parties. Stick it to him, pigs!

On a rapist? I’d live to, but when I’ve been in the unfortunate position of having to comfort a friend who’s been through that shit they never wanted to report it. Can’t blame them.

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.
[close]

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.
[close]

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.
[close]

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 see what you're saying. Misunderstanding on my part. All good.

Is there a word for schadenfreude but you know the person you're watching is having the time of their lives, or at least thinks they are? That's how I feel about Nyjah. I follow him because I think his life is just so cringe. I know I'm supposed to want to live in Laguna Beach and have house parties with Instagram models and motocross with my sycophant friends but holy shit it looks like a vapid hell to me.

Hopefully, Jagger is up next.

I wonder how the ioc will respond. And, I wonder how the people working for the usa olympic skate team will make excuses and rationales for this shitty kid

Maybe, but kind of weird you would want to follow that. But then again, millions of people do that with celebrities they dislike. Wonder if that has any sort of affect on your/their mentality.

I can see it, I hate watch a lot of the YouTube skaters. People are just attracted to things they can talk shit about, hence SLAP

Very plausible, actually. Maybe they know USA skate cut he of the team? No more value for they without a medal, only baggage.

I don’t think this is scandalous enough for any sponsor action. Plenty of mainstream athletes have been doing dumb shit like going to parties without it costing them

Yeah, Djokovic wasn't blamed after his Adria tour fiasco.
