    Most folks are unaware that the Louisianans featured on Swamp People are members of the Houma Indians tribe. Their ancestors lived off of that land for centuries.

    I always wished I was Indian.


    To the guy starting the thread. You polarizing it is much worse than him joking about it. I thought it was funny. Game threads are pretty useless anyway and it broke the monotony.

    Regardless of whom it is screaming racist or racism they are the ones keeping it alive. Jokes are dangerous on forums because its difficult to determine intent, but I don't think Tiga was being malicious or racist. In the words of Officer Barbrady, "Move along. Nothing to see here."

    You've been on the left coast way too long bro, lighten up a bit or have a drink. If his posts bother you so much then you can a.) quit posting here, or b.) ignore them, it really is that simple.
    Now... LSU is 13-0, best record for our program since '58, and going to the 'ship... can't we just enjoy this and stop the cry baby bull chit? If I didn't know any better I'd think you were a gump.

    Why am I getting drug into this ????

    I was wanting the discussion to stop. It has no place in college football.
    Our entire defense is African American. If someone is racist you are surely cheering for the wrong team or any sports team unless you like Hockey (Which I do for the record)

    Fact is most of us dont see colors. But I will also say just because many of us find JJ difficult to watch at QB, these are the same people the eagerly looked forward to watching Jamarcus or Rohan play, or Flynn or Howard (Well maybe not howard). So the ones who bash us as racist for thinking JJ is a very below average QB dont paint us in that picture either. It has nothing to do with color and everything to do with ability to lead our team and actually pass for more than 30 yard in an SEC championship game. Its also the same people who were calling for Jefferson back in the day when JL was throwing multiple TD's to the other team. We dont care what color you are.

    For the record, Tiga's a well established asshat.

    That said, you are an even better established pussy. Grow a sack and a sense of humor.

    Let me recap.

    1. There seems to be a consensus that LSUTIGA was "joking."

    2. If this old "I was only joking" card, is indeed true, then good, that is less offensive than the alternative.

    3. You apparently have to read several pages further into a huge thread, after multiple racially tinged comments have already been made to come to the old "I was only joking" explanation of the earlier comments.

    4. The original poster says he did it just to piss off someone he doesnt like.

    5. Ok. Lets see if I have this straight. Its cool to bring up a racially explosive topic that includes historically sensitive subject matter...like a black QB, or riding on a bus with a black person...those people sticking together...or asking if someone is "mixed?" Its just in good f*cking fun, all with the noble purpose of pissing off one poster.

    6. Anyone finding this offensive or in excessively poor taste is a baby and just stirring up crap.

    Got it. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to your Tiger Forums.
