For a centrist like yourself that sounds like a compliment.

I highly doubt many guys on this board would want to look like a chick. Even if there were, I doubt they’d want to look like Liz Cheney. This has nothing to do with political views.

Maybe they are? :shrug:

If this pregnancy works out, it's supposed to be a girl. Which will be great, because means I will have a daughter and it will be impossible for me to be a misogynist.

So if I don't want my son to have long, nasty, greasy hair because I want him to look nice, that's somehow different from Kaperknick's parents not wanting him to have dreadlocks. ok

Corn Rows. They're different than dreadlocks. 

Also, corn rows require fastidious attention and grooming. Calling them "nasty" is literally an aesthetic judgement. Calling them "greasy" is incorrect. And considering who gets corn rows, well...

He comes across like an ungrateful sack of shit.  

You've never read memoir where the writer works out issues with their parents?

I think people are only getting butthurt about this for one reason...

Even if he privately thinks his parents are racists for disallowing corn row hair styles, the fact that he took this public with his reach as a public figure, and publicly accused his parents of being racists is a pretty bad look.   What does this accomplish other than making his parents look bad?  

also it seems like a reach.   A lot of parents probably don't allow certain hairstyles regardless of race.

You're right. My favorite memoirs are always the ones where the chapters about their childhood are one word long: "Great!"

 fans feel defensive of their favorite players but the guy's public statements calling his parents racist is really poor taste, especially since they didn't do anything that bad.  they disallowed a hair cut but otherwise treated him very well by all accounts.

 

also it isn't unusual for public figures that bash their parents in a memoir to get called out same as Kapernick

ithink people are recently calling out Prince Harry for it

i think Ronald Reagans daughter got harshly criticized when she bashed on her mom's faults in a book.   it is ungrateful and a bad look.

"I've learned something else about truth: Not every truth has to be told to the entire world," she wrote. "People are always going to be curious about famous families, and often the stories from those families can resonate with others, give them insight into their own situations, even transcend time since fame flutters at the edges of eternity.

"But not everything needs to be shared, a truth that silence can teach

I went to school with him. Dude acted like Carlton from Fresh Prince on a daily basis. Maybe that’s why he’s so bitter, I dunno. 

He just needs to go away. I’m not sure why some people still think this guy is relevant. He sure has milked every single drop of his previous status.
