I was accused of being a RACIST on another forum.
Me.

A racist.

I have more black friends than white friends, for crying out loud.

I'm the NDSU Bison fan in this thread. I made a comment on the poor quality of an architectural rendering, and then some people started speculating that I my comments were racist. I didn't see the thread for about a week, but when I saw the comments, I was flabergasted.

1. I don't get how your comment was taken as a comment on race...

2. I think some SWAC football fans just like pulling out the race card.
I guess they get touchy about these things.

I must say, most black people I know wouldn't have made a racial case about it...

3. What the fuck is wrong with people?
But to be honest I couldn't draw anything like that then again the only thing I can draw is the sun.

4. I think it's just thin skin.
Maybe some of these people have had to deal with actual racism from other football fans, so maybe they're in a high-defensive mode??:shrug:

6. I don't understand either
Nothing about what you wrote had anything to do with race. I just guess that for some it is easier to go to the race card anytime anyone says anything that they don't agree with. Plus, you were right, it was a shit rendering. Another thing, just because you go to NDSU why was it assumed automatically that you were white.
