There's plenty of racist arseholes in positions of power, he's not one of them. He wasn't thinking and made a mistake, now he's handling it like a man.
Wow wish I included a coffee bean farmer caveat to my original post so people like you wouldn’t freak out and completely miss the pointAnd whether @Rocktheworld knows or not it is still commonly used for housing developments with golf courses among other things. Also, the landing site for the Pilgrims is called Plimouth Plantation. It’s a word with ordinary meanings. His usage was indeed a problem but the word isn’t evil.
Do you really think he made a mistake or do you think he's a racist ? Because I think he made a mistake and I think he is putting this "I need to learn and grow from this" statement out there to keep his job. Look, he knew right away he shouldn't have used that terminology the way he did because he's not a racist . And if he's not a racist , why would he have to bend over backward to tell everyone he has to learn and grow from this. It's contradictory because it's all just optics.There's plenty of racist arseholes in positions of power, he's not one of them. He wasn't thinking and made a mistake, now he's handling it like a man.
The BLM patches must have gotten to him.As long as he doesn't use concentration camps as a point of emphasis, he should be just fine.......
Screw him. Screw his employers.

Superjohn probably thinks there are poor white people on plantations in Iowa.Do you really think he made a mistake or do you think he's a racist ?

I'm sure he doesn't see color...or patches.The BLM patches must have gotten to him.
Typical. Please share, if you have a point.The kids on the team definitely think it's all optics.
What? I can't answer that because you're all over the place.Do you really think he made a mistake or do you think he's a racist ?

He wasn't thinking. He said "plantation" by mistake.Grow up.
