how exactly does one "throw shade"? cause the only things i know that have any affect on shade is gravity and the sun. the wind cant move shade, and you sure as hell cant out run shade...so how does one "throw it"

Clearly a problem with minorities feeling justified to claim “racism” instead to taking responsibility for their own actions.
It's amazing there are still such stupid people as you around in this modern world.
Two people claiming racism makes me listen.

how are they not trustfunders? mom and dad are giving them monthly allowance and not making them grow up. they will be taken care of their whole life, and there pitiful 4-12 hrs a week job is their "own" money. thus they can complain about being soooo broke, yet mom and dad still pay their phone bill, car insurance, car payments, half or full rent, still give them money for climbing/camping/christmas/springbreak/europe vactions.
i think you are being confused with this slang term for a "trust fund"
this is the best i can find, but these days "trust fund baby" is just called "trustfunder" or a "trusty"
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=trust%20fund%20babythese brats 115% vote democrat, and have entitlement attitudes, and believe they are special. its prob 98% white, but back in college there was a kid on the team that was 1st generation mexican immigrant and he was worse, cause he was just as bad as the rich white kids but pulled the race card as well, a very annoying brat for sure.
he grew up in highlands ranch, his parents were somehow connected to the mexican government or something like that, and he cried and complained he was soooo poor, cause he was bullied that his parents only made a combined income of $375K a year. his neighbors he said were government officials, one worked for NASA and the others were software engineers or something.
like wow your family only pulls in $375 a year and you are pulling this "im a poor mexican i have been through soooo much" card. needless to say he had few friends and threw some serious temper tantrums
That's an upper middle class income level right there sorry. It's not even quite top1% income levels In USA (~389k in 2016). If you have to put your children through 4 year private school that works well enough but doesn't put you in a funder category. The kid may have some temporary assistance but will still have to find his/her way. Trustfunder means there's a pool and an advisor involved and they are listed as a beneficiary with certain stipulations as to how the monies get distributed.
By the way most people in Highlands Ranch voted for Trump (Douglas County). It's the well off republican area of colorado, so why do you say "115% vote Democrat?" Im friends with people there, it's not a place I'd like to live, but thankfully everyone is different.
Jared Borowski (2nd in D-3 Cross Country this year), now of North Central, also left Colorado after last season. I have no idea what made him leave specifically, but I agree that something newsworthy is definitely going on with this program.

You need to stop picking on teenage girls!
M!ndweak and others, from what I understand of the situation, joedirt gives the most accurate description of the alleged racist incident. Unfortunately, some of the less intellectually gifted members of the CU team don’t understand that when a coach tries to dumb things down and tell you that ‘you shouldn’t call a woman a _______ because that is just as bad as calling someone from a certain ethnic group a _______’ doesn’t mean that the coach is a racist.
But, many people on these boards don’t care about the truth and would prefer to bash highly successful coaches at a highly successful program.

Plus, Mark Wetmore's comments about the New Mexico women (about 2 years ago) were cruel. You know, a team of foreigners. Makes me wonder what the "atmosphere" is at CU.

Sounds good. I am glad that they've taken a good stance but it's too bad as it appears the CU kid in question took things the wrong way.

Here is my experience being on a college XC team. I walked on to my team just as Capetillo did. Guess what, not all 15 runners accepted me on the team. Some did, some didn't. Some didn't like me because they looked down on me because I was a walkon and they were on scholarship. Some didn't like my personality, some did. Some of the girls on the team liked me but some didn't and I was even rejected by one after asking them out. Unlike Cpetillion I didn't call her a @#$% %^&$#. Some of the men just didn't like the way I looked, because I looked different. I had a large frame for a runner. People made negative comments/slurs against me for how I looked, sometimes to my face, sometimes behind my back. Some runners supported me. The coach gave more attention to the top runners and less to me because I was slower. Sometimes when running on campus, students not on the team (i.e. part of the "campus environment") made vulgar comments and even occasionally there objects at me just because I was a runner. Once I did something stupid and the coach lashed out at me publicly and I felt very small afterwards. This is all called Life. Grow up you friggin wimps and stop hiding behind the race card, no one is buying it anymore. Life is full of people who wont like you and you can run away (transfer) and quit, you get tougher, you grow from it, you overcome adversity, otherwise you will just be a loser hiding behind the race card and everyone knows it.
You're the type of guy that would solve the racist problems at CU by having "Taco Night" once a month for all of the CU runners.
Someone said “He is a tool” because of his Instagram posts, so I guess posting an appreciation post about Veterans Day thanking his own dad and other troops is being a tool?

I'm the one who said that. Just because you have one nice post doesn't mean you're not a tool. Look at the rest of his posts, he is a self absorbed narcissist.
It never made me quit. I hear, read etc. racist and ethnic slurs everyday against me and others like me.
Well, for one thing, since White make up only about 8% of the world population due to their own doing such as not having children, race mixing and being stupid enough to feed nations starving and therefore getting those people to actually have more babies just like them that need even more saving, it won't take long for them to die off and be mixed out.
So just because he posts up photos of pretty much what everyone else on IG does, friends, family, selfies, means he’s a self obsorbed narcissist? Everyone who is on IG must be that way as well because that is what you are implying. Lmao
You still aren’t getting it. If he’s telling the truth then i applaud him for not going along with it anymore. The problem is painting everyone with the same broad stroke of being racist. He may not feel that way, but to everyone else who doesn’t know the details it appears it can be anyone and everyone, which is why people are suggesting this is slanderous. Suddenly everyone at CU is guilty. If you’re going to post something like this online why would you make it so veiled? If they don’t want to give details online that’s understandable, but if that’s the case they should talk with authorities that can make a difference for future student-athletes rather than make their credibility questionable. I agree i don’t get to choose how people handle discrimination, but most people also agree Rocha and Capetillo have made themselves look like foolish children, which is all the more unfortunate if their claims are valid. If someone wants to run 200 miles a week to train for the 800 that’s their choice, but it’s also a stupid choice if they want to be taken seriously.

Someone else said:
"It's certainly possible Rocha and Capetillo are telling the truth as they see it, but going about it in such a way as to cast guilt upon the entire team comes across in such a way that creates doubt regarding the validity of their claims. If you're going to call someone out for such a serious transgression, you need to be specific about the details. Who all exactly is guilty of racist comments/slurs and what exactly was said? Throwing the entire team under the bus is irresponsible and cowardly, although that doesn't mean they aren't telling the truth."
The concept here is flawed. He did not call out the whole program, only people within it. He did not say the entire CU team is racist, only that he experienced racism from parts of the program. I sincerely hope Wetmore addresses or removes those parts. And he does not need to be specific in his claims, because you do not get to choose how a person handles discrimination.
