Obviously, the OP didn't, or wouldn't read the article.


Obviously obvious.

Uh no. The liberals are complaining since all they see is skin color

Olympic Committee doesn't mean black people. The author of this article is trying to paint some picture of black people needing to be overrepresenting in winter Olympic crap. We don't. This is what many of you would call an SJW and this time you'd finally be accurate about that stereotype. I know you have all kinds of pre-type of "blacks are complaining too much" types of responses....sorry you can't use them here. It's not us, is a white liberal.

When WaPo isn't making up Fake News about Trump, they revert back to race huckstering.

Fits in well with the demographic that still thinks they are credible.

If the Jamaican bobsled team isn't there, I'm not watching.

Blacks are under represented as they are about 5% of the team. Yet in the summer Olympics blacks were over represented as they were close to a quarter of the team. I see the usual double standards once again. NBA players are mostly black with white players under represented but most people know the best players are picked for the teams. Nobody wants to change the demographic of NBA players. Coaches though? Too white time for change. Owners? Too white need to change.

You know, I was watching the victory speech from the Eagles after the Superbowl, and I thought it was interesting that everyone on that podium was white, from the coach, to the star quarterback, to the owner, to the CEO of the NFL, the reporters and camera men.....

and then people get mad when there is a movie about Jamaican bobsledders. You cannot please those who seek to find victimhood in everything.

We 'all' know blacks historically came from warm climates.
They probably just don't like the cold.
