    Sometimes it is so much better to just acknowledge a mistake and learn from it, rather than dig in your heels and try to recover when you clearly screwed up. You either: 1) intentionally made a racist joke; or, 2) are somehow so oblivious that you don't know an obvious racist symbol.

    It is hard to believe that you don't know that fried chicken is a racist symbol when there have been so many high profile incidents involving it. Fuzzy Zoeller at the Masters with Tiger Woods. Sergio Garcia with his fried chicken comment. Questlove and NBC serving fried chicken for Black history month. There is an entire Dave Chappelle bit about fried chicken and racism, that is really quite funny.

    You calling creekster and I the racists is like someone showing up in black face, pretending he didn't know it was offensive, and then calling people mentioning that black face is offensive racists.

    Stop and just admit you were wrong. This has nothing to do with victim mentality, it has to do with not using a historically offensive symbol. Do you think that people who are bothered by the Confederate Flag just have a victim mentality?
    Oh my. Such irony. You are the king of digging in your heels.

    BTW, I just went back through the last few pages of this thread. Since the Utah loss on Friday night, here are the post counts for this thread:

          Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

            Nah. GM has mellowed out on that front.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                      Don't you win these kind of things more than most people?
                      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                            Looks like it. I suggested that Mrs. D take the (seemingly) sure thing in Kansas, but she didn't like that she would be left on Saturday to take either Oregon over OU/aTM or, assuming Nova wins, Nova over Kansas. She likes this gamble better. Can't really disagree with her logic.

                              So - not to climb back into the weeds...

                              But I'm curious now.

                              Fried chicken is a racism symbol because Black people eat fried chicken more frequently than non-Black people? (allegedly)

                              Does that mean that burritos, Navajo tacos, curry, and other ethnic foods are all symbols of racism as well?
