#Seahawks twitter us a funny space. The same folks who were screaming to bench Wilson for Geno after the Packers game were saying this team has a chance ywo weeks later when he won against the 49ers. Maybe the team/coaching is bad and it's not all on the QB 🤷🏿‍♂️
Debates over what constitutes an "Elite quarterback" and a "Quarterback you can win a superowl with" are completely driven by pre-existing biases about QBs which - Hate to say it - are filtered through race class and culture lenses.
Jimmy G was one quarter away from beating Mahomes in the SB. Is he a "Quarterback you can win a SB with?" It's all incredibly subjective and the biases in commentary, especially when it comes to black quarterbacks, makes most sports analysis hard to stomach
Speaking of which, I'll be on @HolleyandSmith tomorrow to talk about all of this....As they both mock my sad season of #Seahawks Fandom

Baby Shark is like Back That Ass Up for 3rd graders 😅
- @AbbottElemABC
Btw there's already been a reference to Zach Ertz - Which is a pretty good #Eagles deep cut for a show based in Philly
#AbbottElementary 👍🏿
If Donovan McNabb makes an appearance by the end of the season @quintabrunson will have surpassed the writers of @alwayssunny in making the most Philly-centric sitcom in history 😂

The issue here is that white Americans in the center/ left cannot win elections w/out a coalition with the primary victims of systematic racism. They resent this dependency so they resort to attacking the victims (Black folks) or allying with the perpetrators of the violence
Democrats can't win without 90% black voters and high turnout. Centrist democrats respond by blaming #Wokeness which is code for "The Black's have too much power" thus thier fantasy of holding on to an increasingly small and disinterested share of "working class whites"
The Very Online Far Left has been even more blatant. They openly court Insurrectionists & Bigots under the guise that class unity can build a workers coalition and resent when black people point out that these groups do not WANT a coalition that includes full black participation

This mindset fascinates me. When black people critique Hollywood for failing at representation for decades mostly white studios said we should stop begging to get into movies and "make our own". Now that is the go-to response for black people caping for problematic television
Pointing out the consistent erasure of MOC and the one sided diversity of straight and queer couples in high profile #Netflix shows amounts to "begging" for inclusion 🤔 Would he make that same argument about Afro-Latin erasure in #TheHeights ? That criticism was "begging" ?
@YouNetflix is part of a long standing theme in Hollywood where "diversity" means centering straight white men and adding a bevy of poorly developed sexually available WOC around them. It's a problem, it's not new but change only occurs when you point it out. But there's more...

A quick thread about #Superman coming out as bisexual. As a general rule it annoys me that people who know nothing about comics drive discourse about a format they haven't read in 20 years but people are shocked or supportive - I'm cautiously optimistic
Jon Kent is Clark Kent's son from various merged realities & the potential future superman. This matters because while introducing new characters with queer identities is good its not as bold as having established characters come out *Ahem* Wonder Woman
The X-Man Ice-Man coming out after 50 years was a MUCH bigger deal and it forced bigots to reconsider just how "stable" sexuality is since Bobby dated alot in the 80s and 90s X-Books

There are 3 perennial #NFL playoff teams at 1-2 right now

#Seahawks
#ChiefsKingdom
#SteelersNation

Who's got the BEST chance of still making the playoffs?
CC: @HolleyandSmith
I want to say #ChiefsKingdom because of history but they aren't just 1-2, they have 2 conference losses AND a division loss. Plus #Raiders are undefeated.
#Steelers have 2 conference losses AND a division loss to a team that's supposed to be a pushover #Bengals . That's not good either. Can't see them getting into even second place with the Browns and Ravens on top

You almost got away with the neutral presenting bad faith "just asking questions" shroud popularized by the horseshoe left, but this tweet tips your hand. The 2020 election was not STOLEN on any level, and certainly not through the supposed suppression of the Hunter Biden story
This is how you can spot the bad faith shtick of the phony online left. Thier obsession w/ elite media & politics power games while ignoring or dismissing actual ongoing oppression and corruption of basic systems of government. Mostly white & white adjacent champagne socialists
Trump suppressed the vote through the USPS, intimidated secretaries of state, GOP legislators limited voting access for black people, a report drops this week of the MYRIAD ways Trump tried to undermine the popular vote - And you say hiding Hunter Biden STOLE the election?
