FalconsIn2012 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I mean, WTH is this guy thinking when he says only “elite white people” should be allowed to buy guns... “In a text referring to guns, Fromm said "just make them very expensive so only elite white people can get them haha." The texts were released as protests over racial bias in the US and the death of George Floyd in police custody reached their tenth day in cities across the nation.

Funny how the girl sat on that text for over a year before ‘outrage’ set in.. Someone had an axe to grind.

VA F.O. Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I mean, he says "ha ha" at the end. It was a joke. A dumb joke sure, but I'm sure everyone of us have put our foot in our mouths at some point before also. In context, as in the conversation at the time, I bet no one involved was thinking it was racist. They were being idiots. Was it bad? Sure, but I'm really not sure why we're crucifying him over a dumb joke. If something comes out to show it was more than that, let me know, but until then, everyone of us have made dumb jokes that would seem really bad if posted online, especially right now. g-dawg, sdogg and AutumnEffect 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tl;dr Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 It may have been a joke, but it was a bad one. Racial things honestly aren’t that funny and Fromm is an idiot for making the “joke.” But I also think it’s pretty clear this girl didn’t really care about bringing racial insensitivity to light. This was pretty clearly a way for her to get back at Fromm. Doesn’t excuse Fromm one bit, but she isn’t really clean herself 95Dawg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a kid and he said something dumb. Everyone's said something stupid before that could get them in hot water if posted online, especially when they were young. My thing is, there are actual people who have shown they're more than just a kid that said something stupid once. That's where the focus should be. He was idiot, OK, move on.

Malik Herring didn’t think it was racist, or that Fromm is a racist. Was it in poor taste? Absolutely. But to think that you have to now censor yourself, while joking in a text, is just sad...but It’s the world we live in now.

He’s a kid when it comes time to fit your narrative, in this case what is racist, but he’s an adult when you want to argue that he should get paid by the NCAA. Quit straddling the fence. I would say Malik is qualified to speak on whether or not Fromm is a racist, and what he, Malik Herring, constitutes as racism. And last I checked, Macknsweetjones doesn’t speak for all black people, either, do ya? Is This What You Want? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VA F.O. Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Racism is defined by each person as to what they find racist. It's subjective in many cases except for the ones in which everyone agrees, but technically even then that would be subjective. Oh, and I never claimed to speak for anyone but myself. Be offended by whatever you want. That's your right. sdogg, g-dawg and Turkeydawg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All kids have said dumb things for sure. I don't think you should hold one thing over someone's head for all of eternity because people do change. I'm willing to accept that Fromm could change. But man... that really was dumb to say lol. I can totally understand why people would be mad about it. I'm a white guy, so I don't feel comfortable telling people how they should feel about racially charged jokes because I haven't ever really had to deal with anything like that. 95Dawg and Macknsweetjones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of people out there who are really crucifying him over this, and I just think there's waaaay bigger issues right now than some dumb*** kid putting his foot in his mouth.
