There are multiple threads highlighting racism within skateboarding. Some of you decide to make new threads making light of this (Adrian Lopez/Mystery, Mike V., etc.)
This is pretty much white privilege in a nutshell. Many of us are upset/hurt by skateboarding's obvious signs of racism, yet you idiots think it's a good idea to make a joke out of all this. Why? Because you can't comprehend why this would be such a big deal in the first place.
Shark Tits, you've spoken out a few times on the topic of white people using the n-word. You obviously don't get it.
White people: shut the fuck up about issues of race, listen, and try to gain something from the perspective of someone of color. I'm so sick and tired of you guys trying to whitewash every little thing that inconveniences your lives.
What signs of racism are you seeing in skateboarding exactly? Someone who was evidently one decades ago, and now clearly isn't? There are no "Nazi" skateboarders rolling in packs. As a singular one you'd be "kook'd" out in a heartbeat. Skateboarding is about individuality yet is very left-leaning and as a whole is extremely against racism and all about diversity. You are ousted if you are a racist skateboarder. So if there are any, they aren't showing it, so your very fragile feelings are pretty safe if you ask me.
Also, you're an evident groupthink cultist. Dave Chappelle made a show entirely based around racist jokes. Some of his co-writers were white. People of all races make racist jokes, and it will never not be allowed, because that's free speech for you. Many of them are funny, you should try escaping the clutches of groupthink and laugh a little. You'd probably begin to enjoy life and stop viewing yourself and those around you as victims constantly.
if youre getting on him about the phrase "you guys" im sure he meant it as in "you guys that are sticking up for jason jesse's shitty behaviour".
also, you say he'd be kooked out of the industry if he were really racist. why wasnt he 10 or 20 years ago? if youre right and hes not racist, its almost worse to wear and say that shit to be edgy. your spreading hate that you dont even believe in to uphold an image? never heard of anything lamer than that
if you think this thread wasnt a fuck you to anyone who was offended by jason's speech/fashion/actions, then youre tripping. i really dont know why someone(shark tits) would want to back a person using swastikas/hate speech. i guess were all too pussy to understand it and its wrong for us to be offended by someone promoting racism. if youre doing it as a knee jerk reaction to be different from the "groupthink" it shows how juvenile and out of touch you are. youre actively defending and therefore contributing to racism, but hey at least youre not like everyone else!
also re: the chappelle comment, youre right man. i should just loosen up and have a laugh over about jesse's swastika patches and his anger at his mom "fucking a nigger", its about the same as chappelle's show right?
not trying to play victim. trying to show you how ignorant youre being, since you dont seem to get it.
