No I’m asking what evidence in the ESPN thing? A lot of people (not just blacks but let’s say a lot of black people) thought it was offensive and shouldn’t have been done. Warb’s opinion is that those people are wrong, my opinion is that he shouldn’t give that particular opinion. I’m not saying he can’t, I’m saying he shouldn’t. What’s the available evidence in the specific case that caused pages of pointless arguing?

You’re being dismissive. You’re saying because a circumstance doesn’t affect him he shouldn’t give a shit about it, nor should his opinion matter because his knowledge is not informed by first hand experience.

I’m not saying he shouldn’t care about children starving because he’s not starving. I’m saying he shouldn’t bitch about black people being offended by something that they are offended by. There’s a difference.

by you are still being dismissive and saying my opinion doesn’t matter. You are automatically invalidating my opinion.

I love how you get to determine when it is reasonable for people of color to be offended(fantasy auction), and when it isn’t(guy named Robert Lee).

I don’t. Black people do. I just follow their lead.

So if you found a black person that was offend by the reporter being named Robert Lee, you would then agree with what ESPN did with the guy?

come on! You decided it was reasonable to be offended at the fantasy auction but not at the Robert Lee thing. You’ve basically said that any black person that says they’re offended by the reporter being named Robert Lee is an idiot who happens to be black.
