My goodness. How is it "clearly" racist to point to the indisputable fact that OJ Simpson was acquitted on criminal charges? Or to note that Hershel Walker is getting a lot of moral indulgence (from white people and black people)?
I have also posted a comment on THIS VERY THREAD about the moral indulgence that Trump is getting -- as I have done previously -- and how too many other (white or otherwise) people are getting in on the act.
Your observation that Georgia loves football stars regardless of character does nothing to support your bizarre (and extremely uncharitable) charge of racism against me. Are you suggesting that it's all the fault of white racists that football stars get moral indulgence?
Your claim that my comment "clearly" exposes me is a racist is an example of bad faith, and another illustration of how some people really love to call other people racists at every possible opportunity. (Which Paul Mccary does a lot.)
My guess (at the risk of intruding) is that it was an inartful way of saying that it was more about the money than the race. Rich being the bigger factor. That's not to minimize the privilege that comes from being white, but being rich and famous are pretty big markers of privilege, and perhaps the more important factors. Emphasis on 'perhaps' because I don't really know the particular case, and maybe being white was the biggest factor.

Get a grip. Really.

People should really count to ten before alleging racism.
Clearly you didn't. If you had, it might have occurred to you that, as knowltok pointed out, it was about fame and money, not race.
Max: last warning. This is a civil community.
