How do you get "excluded" from a sport you do by yourself?

Sounds like Nike is going to offer FraudCo some cash to say racist things.

About a year ago, feminists took umbrage at the term “jogging”. They say that term belittles womyn who are “runners” as men are called.

Sheesh!

I hike a lot, and have very rarely ever seen a black hiker. Thus, racism. Must be. That's the only explanation. Yep.

I thought in the 70s and 80s black young men who considered themselves rappers or what not all wore jogging suits.

Hard Stalinism is the only way a person of European descent can reliably escape the racist, sexist, homo/trans/islamophobic label. Come to think of it, it’s the only way anyone can escape it.

How often does the left wing press refer to Castro or Guevara or Marx or Mao as “racist” or “sexist”? See how that works?

We used to live in town and about 1 block from a grocery store. I’d see blacks jogging down our ally all the time, and many of them would even jump our picket fence and continue jogging through our yard and out our front gate. This was always followed by others jogging and jumping after him.

The writer is so full of hate I wonder if he foams at the mouth?

The dude ain’t been in my neighborhood.

Half the people you see out walking, biking and jogging are black.

Kinda’ what you’d expect in a 50/50 neighborhood.

Can’t we just go ahead and declare everything “racist” and be done with it?

Having one thing after another being classified as “racist” in dribs and drabs over the last few decades is too slow and too exhausting.

“This was always followed by others jogging and jumping after him.”

Were they all wearing blue jogging suits with a badge and a gun?

Black people have not only been excluded from the sport — one survey by Running USA found under 10 percent of frequent runners identify as African-American — they’ve also been relentlessly depicted as a threat to legitimate, white joggers.

Not one fact to support her claim. The 10% figure is probably about right, given that Blacks constitute about 12% of the US population. Yet another example of how dumb people don't know crap about statistics.

Looking at men like Sharpton it won’t be long before climbing stairs is considered racist.

If the writer was a Randy Newman fan, it would be clear.

Sail Away

In America you get food to eat
Won’t have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It’s great to be an American

Ain’t no lion or tiger, ain’t no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Ev’rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog, sail away with me

Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

Not being sufficiently racist is racism.

Swimming and Ice hockey are rassist too!

“- Roy Boy: How come you never see any black guys playing hockey? - Kabral: Now do you think it's easy to just gradually take over every professional sport? Let me tell you something, man. Brothers have started figuring out this ice thing. Hope you enjoyed it!” -Canadian Bacon
