Caitlyn Jenner will recieve Arthur Ashe award

[nomoreneveragain]

Leah Still & Lauren Hill aren't more deserving?

 

[HHR]

They've given this award to people with only tangential relationships to sports many times.

Have you read the thread you're posting in?

People online making jokes and distasteful comments? ok, how will this impact them in the real world, I don't see homosexuals or transgender people being killed or ostracized, if anything they are being embraced and encouraged to live how they choose.

Truth be told I didn't even know motherfukkrs even watch the ESPY's mean less give a fukk about who receives what award

 

[Roid Jones]

get their ass whooped. Let's be real. A lot of us sound like white people in the 50s. This is not to cape, but rather why I won't discriminate and try educate myself with some reputable information before judging. I don't know Bruce, but if you don't think this is brave, I would say, you go dress up as a woman for a day and tell people you are serious about it and try and hang with your family and friends. Go to the store. Ride a bus or a train. Doesn't take much imagination to realize this is brave as hell whether you agree with it or not. Sorry, I'm not going to act like some hillbilly white man from the 50s. Its part of life. Its not going to make your kids want to be women. Its not going to end civilization.

And you're damn right there's an agenda. Just like we, black Americans had an agenda. White people thought we were being silly and we were ruining society. "Why can't they just keep to their own kind"? Why is that Martin Luther King always on the tv. And they had c00ns parroting the same thing to other black people. Just not gonna do it. Not going to hate. Not going to complain about someone trying to get their struggle out there. You know why? Because that's hegemonic, demonic white American behavior.

I just don't see it i'm sorry. Sure mommy and daddy may be angry, sure Sue and Andy next door may be weirded out, sure PwnrRnger01010 will make jokes. But I don't see enough for me to act like they are being shunned from society (the opposite is happening) or they are being hunted and exterminated, like so many articles I have read are making it seem.

Transgender people have a 41% attempted suicide rate as opposed to a 4.6% rate for the general populace. They're not being hunted, they're choosing death over living life as themselves in this society. Whether or not Bruce Jenner is the perfect representative for this community, especially in light of his connection to the crass Kardashian PR machine and the E Network, is a legit topic. It's also a legit topic on whether or not he deserves the incredibly prestigious ( ) Arthur Ashe award over other courageous people. But let's not be denigrate the very real trauma most of the Transgender community has to live through.

Once they got Monday Night Football it was a wrap...

The Christian Right won't even turn their back on them at this point...And they can race bait and insult Blacks all they want with the Whitlock's and Stephen A's because they have our locked in viewership with the NBA Playoffs..

This is REAL power...The Whitehouse should be jealous...

Trauma because they are different from what society expects? so they killing themselves over peer pressure?

Because wanting to become transgender is a mental illness. Mentally unstable people commit suicide. I'm not anti transgender, and I would work with whoever if their attitude was right, but I would look at the peron as a little "eccentric"
