IT ****ING HAPPENED



OP UPDATE:

Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy!

In his most recent video, there are two moments that involve Mahomes. The first one is him talking to Dee Eskridge at like 1:40, where he talks specifically about Mahomes COACHING him on using quick hands during the route. And the 9:00 part shows an awesome look into Mahomes' offseason receiver sessions and how he interacts with them. Really good stuff.

Does he seem nice?

It looks like they made too many Luke Kuechly bobbleheads and had to find a way to reduce inventory when he retired.

IDGAF anyway. Human is human.

mulatto means "mule" and it is in fact 100% racist and you shouldn't use it.

Mulatto.

Sure, but there's also a band called The Pansies and one called NWA but good luck using either of those terms.

If you're calling someone half horse and half donkey because of their race maybe just say mixed instead, it's pretty easy.

Eh...

Some sources suggest that it may derive from the Portuguese word mula (from the Latin mūlus), meaning mule, the hybrid offspring of a horse and a donkey. The Real Academia Española traces its origin to mulo in the sense of hybridity; originally used to refer to any mixed race person.

It does not mean Mule...it may be a derivative of that word...but in today's world, I'm sure it's insulting. Just like every other ****ing thing.

When someone says "Mulatto" these days, the first thing that pops into my head is the "pussy pop" rapper.

I had a longer post about it and just opted to delete it. Not worth it.

My point only being that it'll take time for people to stop using words that were common twenty years ago and thought of as non-offensive.

"Mulatto" was not an offensive word when i was growing up. It was commonly used and used proudly.

Today it's offensive. Maybe it always should've been offensive.

It's offensive today and that's all that really matters i suppose. Just be patient as it will take time for people to identify that.

[Kiimo]

Right I first heard from a mixed race person that she found that offensive somewhere around 2003 and it was the first time I had heard that. I can see why that would be offensive too.

Changing language is annoying but in the end it's worth it. I understand people go overboard on twitter trying to find the newest offensive thing to tell everyone not to say in order to gain attention. I don't think that's what is happening here.

So what's the consensus on Oreo?

I like the vanilla ones or the mint thins

Man...you had to bring it up.

I dated a girl in HS who used the term "Oreo". It was the first time i had heard of it.

She was half black, half white. She thought of it as a 'cute' way to identify her mixed race. Like a cookie. So all this time i've used "Oreo" over the years light heartedly.

I've used the term twice on CP in the last few months and got neg bombed for it .

So again...what was fine 20 years ago is apparently racially insensitive now.

Anyway, i originally came into the thread to post this, which is an EXCELLENT video of Kurt Warner explaining why the Mahomes haters' idiot brains are being ****ed by stupid.
