Think racism isn't a problem in America? Then why have white presidential candidates previously received 100% of the vote from all people?
no qualified people from other races?
Ya'll are taking this way to seriously. There are almost no black people in Oregon. Before the trials the city had a workshop for those volunteering at the meet to better accomadate black athletes. The announcer probably felt stupid as soon as he made those remarks, but I think it comes from unfamiliarity not racism.
here we go again. A black man/woman can say ANYTHING , and I mean ANYTHING about a white person ( See Chris Rock) "Cracker, cracker, cracker!!!" We all see black people day after day using racist remarks about white people. They call us cracka! , they call us "white mother --ker." But, can we call them a racist???? Hell no.
The answer for everything:: Play the race card. Don't get a job you were not qualified for? Play the race card. Don't get a good grade in school? Play the race card instead of studying.
The truth is, blacks are more racist than anybody else
the nick symmonds one is stupid...nowhere is that racist, he said "to keep up with these athletes" anyone average and intelligent person would know he means the quality of the field considering there were about 5 favorites in that race.
I thought the statement was absolutely dumb becuase Nick Sy was clearly the favorite and a great athlete himself. Again which can only mean one thing.

Word!! True that!
Let me ax you, did the announcer man saything about da white dude?
Das what I'm talk'n bout!
boyzzzzz!
You people (the ones complaining) are just ridiculous! I am black and I was not offended at what they said. The comments were just describing the athletes...you had to look for some offense.
WOW!!! It's amazing to read these comments about race. It's amazing how people can be sensitive about things like this. I am Black and I didn't even think twice about the comment. He was just describing which one she was. If there were 13 African American and 1 Caucasian and he said that about the Caucasian no one would say a thing. We've come a long way with race and we should be proud!
Yep we are more racist in sports then ever. Good job everyone :(
Western Europeans are excellant distance runners. Think Coghlan, Treacy, Coe, Ovett etc...
Eastern Europeans are excellant in the weight events. Dozens of shot and discus gold medalists....
That's as big a diversity as Africa has! (with its western sprinters and eastern distance runners).
As a matter of fact, the Eastern Europeans are the strongest men in the world! If they had black skin they would be called unbeatable gods by the medaia and liberals.
I am white, male, and a veteran AND I am bald, but I am not voting for McCain. Of course, I don't have a squeeky voice.
went back and watched the 1500 semis and it seems Lewis J. is just ignorant ...didn't mean to be racist. But if a white person made those remarks Al Sharpton would be having press conferences for months about this. There is a double standard, and if blacks want to be exempt from it then don't go crazy when a white idiot sais something not very PC. I think the post was more about consequences, than racism.
