lets run is a joke...front page articles shaft africans

You are right about that. Top 10 athlete all-time and nothing. Maybe they think she is doped from her indoor season.

I see where Ajee Wilson got some love. Seems to me they were praising American athletes, not white ones. Makes sense, seeing as how Letsrun is an American site.

Bosse and Willis are now honorary Americans?

The racism on this site is virulent and very disappointing. I always felt the track crowd was a bit above that. And they are on, for example, the track & field news message board.

I love to watch you guys come up with "reasons" for white certain obviously racist posts are not racist. Fabulous examples of over the top rationalizations.

Who?

Mods must be off work today

Willis went to an American college. Bosse was almost unheard of until today.

… and the expert commentator calling the race highlighted 7 out of the 10 runners before the start and guess what???? Bosse wasn't one of them. So I guess he gets to join my little uninformed club also. lol Feeling lonely yet? Sorry but it's those kind of snarky replies on here that make it such a depressing place to visit at times for me.

Why do the moderators allow this endless race baiting? In thread after thread these fanatic lefties conjure up imaginary enemies. I'm sick and tired of them.

I love how racists cry "race baiting" when called on their racism.

What a whiny bunch.

Did you ever think it could be because Dibaba didn't run that impressive of a race? I mean the time is fast, but she only managed to pull away in the last 50 meters. Compared to her unbeatable indoor form, this is a disappointment. And they mentioned Ajee Wilson winning the 800, so it's not racism.

Can you explain how your response has anything to do with my comment?

You were responding to the guy who was complaining about this thread because it was making racism out of nothing. You said this thread was pointing out a legitimate case of racism. I replied saying it wasn't.

I made the comment that racists cry race baiting when called on their racism.

Can you reply to this comment rather than arguing a different matter -- whether or not this thread is racist?

Too nuanced for you?

Sorry, I automatically assumed you agreed with the OP's statement. Upon further reading, I see that your comment has no bearing on the validity of it. My mistake.
