Amazing how some are determined to see racism in everything especially if it's anti-racism.

Usually this kind of story comes out during Republican administrations.

It would have been nice to actually point out the facts of the case instead of droning on for 1,000 words about racism.

What the Tuohys did with their pretend adoption was wrong, but it was not racism.

How did the Tuohys exploit Oher???? They paid for college,a tutor through college and he ended up with some stability and went on to have a dream job with 34 million attached to it.....He had numerous siblings....Did they all get the same chances???The only difference between oher and his siblings is THE TUOHY’S.......

Poor Tuohy family probably wishes they would never had opened their home. Today I tried to reach out to an individual from a minotirty ethic background. He had power tools in his trunk and wanted to fix on the spot the large crashed fender on my car. Just needed $1,1000 and in 6 hours, he could do it right here at my hotel. I thought I would help him, his tank was on empty, he wanted money up front for gasoline, then wanted money up front for the parts. I started getting cold feet and he went into a rage, accused me of being a Trump supporter. I told him if he didn’t have a line of credit at the parts store, or money to put in his tank to go get the part....I asked him to use HIS credit card, and he didn’t have one. So I got called RACIST. Sometimes you just need to let them hurl the rants.

They saved his life and gave him a life that he wouldn’t have otherwise.

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

Its not getting hit in the head that causes violence.

If everyone who got hit in the head went violent, ..

But they don’t.

As a demographic blacks are more violent than other races. Its more of an IQ issue and how their bell curve is. The less intelligent you are, the more likely people are to regard violence as an acceptable solution to conflict/issues. Also the more likely they are to misunderstand something in a conversation as an insult and escalate offthat.

Their claim to have adopted him was wrong, when they just put him under conservatorship. That was probably a heartfelt sentiment, as opposed to a legal standing. They made him as much of a son as they could.

If Oher had saved 10 million of that 50 or so million he got for sportsball, he could have invested it at a measly 4 percent and been bringing in 400,000 bucks a year.

200 bucks an hour annually.

Instead, he moved in to Loserville.

“The Tuohys refuted his [Oher’s] claim that they told him they intended to legally adopt him.”

“Racism has never been or will ever be Black people’s problem to solve, given that we didn’t create it nor do we continue to control and refine it. It’s on white people to shut racism down.”

And yet most of the crimes involving different races are being committed by blacks. There is total delusion among many blacks that they are not capable of committing hate crimes, but the statistics say otherwise. This is why we can’t have a rational discussion of racial issues with blacks because far too many of them think they’re the victim when in many cases they’re the perpetrators of racial strife in this country.

Deadspin is one of the worst scum sucking far left propaganda spewers out there. Do not waste your time.

I think it’s more of “No good deed goes unpunished.”
