OT: Meyers about to be in hot water again...

[Labinot41]

MAGA Meyers is not really smart lol

 

[wizenheimer]

Meyers will have to go on an apology tour

 

[Scalma]

I always knew Meyers was a dipshit, glad I don’t have to listen to people defending that jabroni ever again.

 

[Labinot41]

That is actually not a well known slur. Tbh this was the first time i ever heard it. I don't know but this probably says something about Meyers that he knows what it means

The Heat's Meyers Leonard said an anti-Semitic slur during a Twitch stream

He is such an imbecile.

 

[tlongII]

So much for Meyers' desire to remain in Miami long term.

 

[Natebishop3]

Wow...... what a moron.

 

[wizenheimer]

So much for Meyers' desire to remain in Miami long term.

yeah Miami and NY would be the worst places to say that kind of dumb shit

 

[calvin natt]

Yeah, this is not good, at all. Yikes. Shocking coming from him, guess you just never know.

 

[DDolla]

I prefer Elle than Meyers

 

[Natebishop3]

Meyers isn't nearly good enough to weather this.

 

[blazerkor]

things like that are normal where i live, you can hear that shit every day, no-one cares, you just move on, what are you going to do

you can tell me what you want, i might get angry and try to beat you or whatever, but i wont speak about fucking racism, who gives a shit

in a heat of the moment you can say a lot of things you dont really mean

It might mean something to Jewish people whose families have been killed while that was being yelled at them. Society's faults don't excuse the damaging actions of the individuals who give in to those faults. There's no excusing racism.

 

[illmatic99]

smh, this guy

 

[Sedatedfork]

How hard is to not use slurs?

 

[Natebishop3]

This is why I don't understand pro athletes or other people in the public eye doing something like streaming gaming.

It would be like getting drunk on stream. People do shit and say shit while gaming that they wouldn't normally say in public. Not making an excuse for Meyers, but my point is that it's taking a risk. Being in the public eye is all about perception. You're giving people an unfiltered view of yourself.

TLDR - he done fucked up.

 

[tlongII]

I have to admit that I don't really know what that word means though. I assume it's derogatory but that's about all I know.

 

[Natebishop3]

How hard is to not use slurs?

While playing COD? It's near impossible. That's like asking how hard is it to not say you fucked the other kids mom.

 

[Natebishop3]

I have to admit that I don't really know what that word means though. I assume it's derogatory but that's about all I know.

Yeah, I just always knew it as a slur against Jewish people. I don't really know the history of it.

 

[tlongII]

Yeah, I just always knew it as a slur against Jewish people. I don't really know the history of it.

I didn't even know it is a Jewish slur to be honest.

 

[riverman]

Dumb fucking Beibs....he is as bad at trash talking as he is in rebounding and protecting the rim....this will put him right in the Ted Nugent hall of fame

 

[riverman]

I didn't even know it is a Jewish slur to be honest.

How old are you? I find this shocking that anyone doesn't know what that means.

 

[wizenheimer]

I have to admit that I don't really know what that word means though. I assume it's derogatory but that's about all I know.

saying it to anybody Jewish is about as bad as saying the n-word to black people

Really? i guess I don't understand video games. I played COD back in the day and I may yell at an NPC (never really did that head to head stuff), but I don't think I ever dropped an N bomb or racial slur. I'm sure I called someone a bitch, so maybe I am not immune from that. But, I just don't understand people that use racial or ethnic slurs at all.

 

[Propagandist]

Kike is actually not a well known slur. Tbh this was the first time i ever heard it. I don't know but this probably says something about Meyers that he knows what it means

It's known in the U.S., maybe because it originated here.

Who gives a shit about racism? Wow...

63. I'm being honest when I say I don't know what it means.

I was born in the 70's and it was a well known derogatory term to me. So i am also surprised, but some of these younger people must not have been exposed to that word as being offensive. I think part of it too was the more openness and anti-semitic forwardness of the KKK during the 80's maybe? I don't know. Just speculating here.

Did you know it was a very derogatory term for Jewish people? That's all i know. I didn't know anything else.

Edit: oh nevermind, you addressed that above.

I figure most people have seen George Carlin work this derogatory term angle and at least have seen Robin Williams in the Good Morning Vietnam bar scene with the brain dead redneck marines.....

If you go into one of those games you'll see a lot of racial slurs, things like "hitler was right" stuff like that. It's kids trolling. It's stupid.

With that said, this isn't Meyers trolling. This is just a straight up racial slur.
