I've been following the other thread, but it's missing the exact tweets that transpired between Dwight and Lauren. Could Dwight be removed from his position at USATF for such derogatory comments towards the athletes he is supposed to be representing. To directly call someone a racist in this situation should be considered libel and she should move in the direction of making it a legal matter. Her career and business could be negatively impacted by someone in power publicly calling her a racist on such a platform.
See Dwight's tweets below.

This is crazy...... Was he high/drunk?

I wonder the same thing. Was he drinking during this twitter argument? It's extremely unprofessional and not acceptable in any situation.

Another reason NOT to be on Twitter. Liberals can't troll you, race bait and create news to advance their agenda if you aren't there.

Have you met the liberals on college campus these days? He would fit right in. This sadly does not surprise me at all. -
I find it funny when "big, strong black men" get their feelings hurt by a tiny, little white girl.

No.
But racism is.
And all white people are at least somewhat racist by the time they are teens.
I love to watch the denials of this obvious reality -

No, black people don't think they're racist because they don't understand the definition.
To a degree we all favor our race, that is not racism. It is when hatred toward another race or feelings of superiority becomes the mindset. I know your college professor taught you that but remember, liberalism is a mental disorder. INDEPENDENT studies have shown that and like everything else liberals tried to roll out their own studies to highjack the findings. Liberals have a way of hijacking words and meanings like, marriage, Christianity, the Constitution, an unborn baby but you get the picture. You are a lib.

What are you saying because he is black he had to be either high or drunk? Are you saying all blacks are always high or drunk? -
Unexplainable... Either he just finished watching the OJ mini series or he's lost it with our political unrest and craziness! Complete nonsense...

In 2016, screaming "racism!" is the ultimate cop-out. Just last night, I watched ten's of thousands of white people, cheer for shots made in one of the most exciting finishes to a basketball game, that most people have ever seen. The people who took and made those shots, were black. Those gentlemen will be high-fived, congratulated, and be even bigger men on campus' that are a majority white.
One of the fans of the game that was shown very often, was the biggest and richest athlete of our time... a black man by the name of Michael Jordan. A billionaire who has made a majority of his money by white people admiring him. Thirty years ago, white kids were wearing shoes that were inspired by this black man... white parents paid for those shoes. Many of those same kids were hanging posters of black men on their walls... again, white parents were predominantly responsible for paying for those posters, not to mention, allowing their white kids to hang posters of black men on their walls.
Everyday in the United States, there are arenas and stadiums that are full of people watching/cheering/admiring black men as they showcase incredible feats of skill that are ingrained into the minds, and often times hearts, of the fans... the majority of those fans, are white. Everyday, those same white fans stand around the watercooler to talk about the previous day's heroics and physics-defying displays of awe. Many of those same people travel home from work, only to sit down and turn on ESPN to follow the day's action, and to again, live in awe of black men. Let us remember too, the richest female athlete on the planet, is black.
To add to the god-like status of many American black men and women, we turn on our radio/iPod, etc. to listen to music inspired and performed by black men and women. We watch late-night talkshows and groove to the beats produced by house bands that highlight black musicians.
I can continue, but the point should be clear enough.
Yes, there are problems in American society, but the vast majority of those problems, are NOT race related. And when an issue comes across as being race related, it is most-often discredited after a thorough investigation. In other words, crying "racism!" is a complete cop-out that is only serving as a tool to create divisive environments... much of which, we are witnessing as a growing trend. And most unfortunate of all, is being used intentionally.
In 2016, it is virtually impossible to not 'make it' for one's self. The wonderful world of the internet has allowed a platform for ANYONE to set up an LLC and produce/trade a product that another party desires. The internet does not know the color of your skin... it does not know your gender, or sexual orientation, or religious belief. Create a business, sell a product, and ANYBODY can be living a life of happiness and respect. -

As far as generalizations go, it's close to true. -

Another conservative on self-destruct watch - just like the Republican party, just like the conservative movement.
The frightening thing is that conservatives actually believe this.
The wonderful thing is that conservatives actually believe this...
...and will continue to self-destruct, because that's the only course irrationality like this can lead.
Effectively, it says there can be no opposing view from yours - in fact, no opponent, since any opponents, by definition, would be mentally ill and unfit to lead.
There's no future in that within a democratic republic. So you'll either come to your senses and conform to participate fully within the democratic process - or you'll continue to marginalize yourselves as unelectable and not worth enough support to validate your existence.
Your choice. Divide and conquer (yourselves). Or rein in your reckless existence. -
this. the ironic part is that LF is about as liberal as they come, bleeds for anything, so funny to get called out by a fellow lib.
