@mott-the-hoople saidWhat "pass" does she want?
"But she also does not deserve to get a pass just because she's a black woman."
She wantr get a pass because she is a black woman.
She will get a pass because she is a leftist black woman.
Should any type of offensive remark ever made on Facebook or other social media no matter how far in the past warrant disqualification from any Olympic event?

@no1marauder saidOnly if the offensive remarks were made by a white person, everyone else apparently gets a pass.

@no1marauder saidNot the Olmpics specifically but all manner of other professional and amatuer sports.
What "white persons" have been banned from Olympic events because of past social media posts?
Be specific, please.

@dood111 saidName one.

Colin Kaepernick was effectively banned from the NFL for not acting the way right wingers prefer during the national anthem. Has any "white person" been effectively banned from the NFL for similar reasons?

@no1marauder saidThere was a college coach a year ago that made the mistake of wearing a One America News T-Shirt to an interview and he got fired because it offended some black people.
Name one.

I'm not googling anymore for you.

A) Coach wasn't fired though he did offer and then take a pay cut; he only made $4 million for a college football coaching job;
B) The "black people" who were offended were some of his players.

@no1marauder said“ Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to physical appearance and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another.[1][2][3][4] It may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of a different race or ethnicity.[2][3]”
The statements may be offensive and bigoted, but they are not "racist".
Grab a dictionary, Rat.

@no1marauder saidGreat. So you’re simply using whatever definition suits you, and disregard anything else. No surprise there.

Meanwhile, if the colours had been reversed, you would’ve had no problem identifying this as racism.

@great-king-rat saidI use the most popular dictionary in the US and a definition it has had for decades. It makes no sense to call someone a "racist" who doesn't show any belief in the superiority of one race over another.

The comments made over a decade ago were offensive surely, but hardly a reason to disqualify her from Olympic competition. I would say the same whatever the "race" of the person who made them.
@no1marauder saidno you wouldnt…It must really suck to be you living in your false world of lies

@mott-the-hoople saidYour constant "strategy" (if something as dimwitted as what you do deserves that title) of calling other people "liars" with zero evidence to support such a claim is noted.

@no1marauder saidyou could always quit lying, or keep whining, which ever floats your boat.

No1,
When are you going to provide a single quote of mine that makes me a racist by your defintion. Or do you simply make a habit of making false claims without evidence? You know, you are simply a liar.
A liar and a coward, pretty good description of you if a person judges you by your posts.
