Duke University anthropology professor Tracie Canada wrote a piece Friday headlined “Damar Hamlin’s Collapse Highlights the Violence Black Men Experience in Football,” during which she claimed, “The anti-Blackness of the system is inescapable.”
She wrote, “As a cultural anthropologist, I’ve spent the last decade learning how Black college football players navigate the exploitation, racism, and anti-Blackness that are fundamental to its current system.”
Despite the article’s title, Canada later admitted, “I am not aware of research that compares the rate of injury between Black and white football players.”
In his SF novel, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, Robert Heinlein actually had a character erased, literally. Like this: “But something was happening to Samuel Beaux. He leaned forward and fell off his chair, dead as King Charles—and his body began to disappear. It didn’t fade out; it disappeared in swipes, through the middle, then across his face, as if someone had taken an eraser to a chalkboard. Then he was gone completely; not even blood was left. Even his chair was gone.”

If you say what certain people think is wrong about race …

He probably wasn’t even gonna talk about a person’s race, he was probably gonna talk about a regular running race.

Rat loves erasers. And erasures. And probably the movie, Eraserhead, by David Lynch, too….

Pig forgot to start by saying he had something to say about how evil the white race is. Everybody knows that’s okay.
