    Despicable, considering roughly 60% of the prison population is white...

    If he truly believes the words he said, shame on him. If he said those words to gain support for the MAGA and conservative crowd, shame on them and him...

    What he said is inexcusable. So is your generic labeling.

    Racist and dumb are not mutually exclusive. In fact they often go hand in hand. Tuberville has shown how dumb he is many times with his '3 branches of government' comments and his comments about Russia/communism, etc.

    Interesting that you consistently favor pointing it out to me. Why not the guy who shot at me as well? It clearly goes both ways. Does it not.
    Probably the same reason why river only post pro-libbie articles.
    No need to respond. You are biased against my stance. No worries. Just note that it’s a bad look for you.

    Byrd was a racist and a former klansmen as many of the pre civil rights southern democrats were before the parties in the south flipped. He’s also been dead over a decade, and at least outwardly disavowed his racist views decades before that. What is the relevance?

    Meanwhile, Tuberville just gave a speech that would go perfectly at a klan rally. This was 2 days ago.

    Really dumb thing to say or think. What exactly do reparations and crime have to do with one another anyway?

    So, because a former Klan supporter was a Senator in West Virginia years ago, it is ok to have racists, bigots and hate mongers in the Senate now?

    You people are unbelievable.

    These disgusting comments shouldn't surprise anyone, this is who racist ass Tuberville is and has always been. He's definitely not the only former/current college football coach who feels that way, since he's no longer involved in sports and is in politics he's free to let it be known how he really feels. That's why he was welcomed with open arms by his current party, that contingent aligns themselves with scumbags like him and there are plenty of scumbags who feel the same way that he does.

    He inarticulately called out the party that wishes to defund the police, and the party that goes easy on criminals.
    Don’t act as though your party is not part of the problem with the political rhetoric these days.

    Before I entered this thread, I wondered how a certain contingent would attempt to deflect from Tuberville's ignorant statements. I certainly got my answer.

    I don’t think that former black players who liked him will let this slide. It’s not the kind of thing that black people ignore. Perhaps, they won’t hate him, but it likely changes perceptions. BTW, love is a strong word for the typical relationship between a player and a former coach. I’m sure there are a few here and there that have a strong bond, but not the overwhelming majority.

    This isn't about my party buddy, this is about your boy Tuberville making racially charged statements and you deflecting from them, as usual. Since you seem to have zero issue with his statement, I'll have no choice but to assume that you agree with him.

    Folks are so used to black people being a forgiving group of people, that they just ignorantly assume that will be the case with racist ass Tuberville and his former players.

    I do agree with him in that the liberal party of the United States has created a huge problem for many law abiding citizens and has put many police officers in increased danger.
    Tuberville is upset with the libbie party but his words are poorly chosen.

    I know you do, that's why you're defending him. Nothing more needs to be said.

    Crime is a major issue. You and your party are in favor of it.
    End of story.

    Tuberville is a flaming racist. You're defending him. As usual and as expected. End of story.
