I'm not sure if dapriest is a homeless man's version of Frank Ivy or if the original's writing has slipped.
Much better, to be sure.[KATZ INTERVIEW]
His speech isn't that bad.
It's much worse when you read it quoted than it is hearing it. He's a better public speaker than Calhoun, but the writers (after mocking him) usually cleaned up all the confusing parts of JC in the quotes. Before the press conference, I had never heard Ollie speak, only read him quoted. I was much more concerned then than I am now. He can still fix things, but he's good.Much better, to be sure.
Like I said, with some effort he could go from passable to outstanding.
I give dapriest credit for calling it as he sees it. I don't see it the same as he does here, but I understand exactly what he is saying and I am sure there are many who do agree with him. I think many of his points are legitimate and not intended to be racist or otherwise offending. People should be capable of having these conversations without assuming that those who see it differently are necessarily motivated by bad intentions. Assuming arguendo that his is a mindset formed by regional prejudices (which I have no basis to do), do you think that mindset is more likely to change when people call each other inflammatory names, or when one side simply observes that the thing they thought mattered doesn't seem to bother others whose opinions they respect?
If yall brings in recruits yall is what he says.He's a high character guy. The only thing he might want to work on is to say something different than yall over and over again. I love the guy but a little polish applied to his public speaking would help. Just replace Yall with All of you or some other form of that idea would work.
We've gone from Bostonian to Deep South...but KO is from LA. He was born in TX though. I don't know how long he lived there.
Don't get me wrong. I mean not to judge him. I'm over the top impressed with the content of what he says and the way he conducts himself, which is what a person should be measured by.
