[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 105101, member: 196"] There is a huge difference between making an obvious statement regarding race, and saying someone is playing the race card. The man simply stated a very real fact -- it is not an excuse or a race card. Further, it is an opinion piece -- not an indictment of Racism in America. DePack asks an interesting and provocative question above. If you were in a community where there were only 1.38% Caucasions and you came from a place that was very different and where you were used to being in the majority and you were greeted with boos and people calling you names like PUNK, PUKE, THUG and worse you might just find it a bit of a culture shock -- plain and simple. Yes, an Ivy league Euro-American from Atlanta would suffer culture shock moving to Green Bay, but in very different ways, but come on he could certainly pass unnoticed through the streets of Green Bay without everyone identifying him as being either a Packer or part of a very small ethnic community Wait a minute are we talking about Bush or Carrol here? Because aside from the Atlanta piece it does sound an awful lot like W :wink: Finally, we totally agree :D Unless you were really bad I doubt it was it was by your home crowd that were supposed to be your fans. Further, of course as White man you can be quite assured that those mostly 9k white folks in the stands were not influenced by the fact that you were white. Ryan you are a great guy, but it is you who is turning this poorly written opinion piece into some huge Racial issue. The author made mention of culture shock in the 4th point in his opinion piece -- that hardly qualifies as playing a race card. You are making a mountain over a molehill, my friend. [/QUOTE]
