Another racial hoax: BYU volleyball game

That being said. I hate BYU. Dirty players, dirty coaches. No integrity:

extremely thin-skinned player.

BYU grad here.

I think it’s worth noting that to most BYU students racist animosity is a foreign concept. Any racist thoughts they might they have are based on ignorance and a lack of life experiences, not actual animosity. Most people from the mountain west simply haven’t been around a lot of diversity and think of themselves as genuinely nice and accepting of all races. The LDS faith has racist facts in its history, but the current generation of Mormons see that as a confusing past to be grappled with and theologically overcome and purged, not something they embrace.

Is it possible that someone yelled something racist? Yes because there are ignorant racists like the godmother everywhere, but it is unlikely. BYU students, staff, and people working there would have shut it down very fast.

Thank you for walking back all the anti LDS hyperbole with reality. I agree with your thoughts

The AD (who played for the 49ers and was head coach at Cal), like a lot of Mormons, tried to get out in front of this in an attempt to appear anti-racist.

Considering no evidence from hundreds of spectators and players and many cameras he was wrong.

How many here who think there was a racist taunt think Jussie Smollett was an actual victim? Haters gonna hate and victimhood is practically an incurable disease.

Rojo,

It's kind of hilarious....you go off on a rant about how nowdays there's no way people would allow someone to get away that racist behavior so it must be a lie.......then you ban me for pointing out that let people get away with racist behavior on your own site and welcome them back. You do realize you're proving your entire attempted point wrong lol

The girl lied.

People make up ugly stuff about racism to get others in trouble…happens a lot.

people also pretend racist things don't happen.

LRC for example. happens a lot.

I was just banned for stating something that very clearly was said on LRC and I was banned with the message "Factual Incorrect"

lol.....LRC in denial so hard it's hilarious

maybe ban the registered users who say outrageously racist things and are welcomed back.....not the people who point it out.

okay…

But still doesn’t change the fact that this player made stuff up about racism.

Black athletes can’t lie?
doesn't exactly help the cause

maybe they lied maybe they didn't....either could be true

what isn't great, is a website with a very questionable history on race to have one of their owners go off an unhinged rant on race and banning people for correctly pointing out his hypocrisy.

yeah, maybe the athlete lied

what we do know for sure, is LRC is a racist cess pit and the owner and mods are part of the problem

Letsrun does not like to be called out on their past transgressions, even if many of them are left up for the world to see.

BYU AD Tom Holmoe should resign. He is another L.A. loser from Crescenta Valley High School. L.A. people have screwed up BYU for the logest time.

Why is everything blown up into broad historical contexts or about this message board?

This specific player lied about something that could ruin someone else’s life…it was reckless, the irony is that she’s the true racist, it happens move on

I had a friend at the game as well. They heard the whole thing. Sad.

Lol. I wouldn't say it happens "a lot" but it does happen.

But know what does definitely happen a lot? People yell racist comments at others. Remember this?

Probably the only reason this was reported was because there were several black students around that overheard it. Plus the guy said it repeatedly and loudly. If he had been a little quieter about it and said it in front of no black students maybe he would have gotten away with it. Most of his pals apparently thought it was very funny! [ as did he] if it wasn't corroborated I'm sure you would have called this a hoax also, right? Right.

well when the owner of the message board comes on and posts something as ridiculous as he did, it kinda opens up the conversation.

(especially when he then bans people for criticizing his take.....on the same thread where the registered poster who defended slavery as 'not that bad' and claimed it was OK to call flag kneelers N-----s continues to be welcomed and allowed to post freely)

What’s crazy is the guy talking actually still has xc eligibility for BYU
