Seems like a Rorschach test to me. A non-racist would recognize the common platitude (h/t duffy), where as a racist would see racism. Therefore you are all racist.

Agree with Coop on this one.

BL wants people in the media to apologize for racist Jeremy Lin puns?

He wants to put them in a Kung-Fu grip!

I think there’s enough of a rapport in here to realize that there is no hatred in the so-called racist comments. It’s humor. Sure, we would all feel better if our friend Hiro Nakatami came here to laugh with us and tell us it’s okay. But we don’t have tha tluxury.

I’ll do my best to pass down the legend as retold to me. Apparently, when Kevin Duckworth died, at various points throughout posts, people kept coming in and saying that Kevin Duckworth had died. It came to represent a story that has already been discussed in the comments section.

So the /duckworth’d is used when anyone comes in and drops a link or mentions a story that has already been mentioned previously in the comments.

i like ESPN’s byline under the current Knicks headline: “Jeremy Lin got sloppy Friday and it cost the Knicks in the end”

he’s been sloppy the entire time, and they have just overcame it.

In this day of OHR, Diversity Training, etc, how the fock did this get thru the censors/proof readers? I mean, I can't believe someone looked it, re-read it and said "Oh yeah, That's gold Jerry, gold!"

Wasn’t this inevitable? I guess the headline writers ran out of creative puns and word plays.
