Absolute chad BIPOC shuts down soys who cried "muh racism" when his teammate tweeted 🦍🦍 in picture of them celebrating together

Plus calling a dude a silverback is actually considered a compliment. It means you're dominant and a leader.

Maybe he just meant beast or something similar. It doesn't matter, it clearly wasn't him being racist towards his teammate in a picture celebrating him after a huge penalty save.

This may sound stupid, but there should be a whole class in school that is solely focused on teaching how to interpret things based on context (I know English/literature does this to a degree, but there should be a course that does this using social media as the source material). Black person in photo + ape emoji doesn't automatically mean there was racist intent.

If I'm Garnacho, I stick to my guns and use this as a lesson to teach people about context and how ridiculous it would be for me to racially abuse my own teammate after he saved the game and then also post it to social media for everyone to see and potentially get disciplined for it.

I get maybe they don't want real racists to potentially use that as some sort of plausible deniability excuse going forward, but I actually say let them because it'll just mean either they out themselves as racists, or you force them to publicly explain what exactly they're praising the player for and how the emoji related to said praise for a player they clearly have a racial bias against.

It pisses me off that shit like this can get someone in trouble because it wasn't intended to be racist in the first place and also it just makes cancel culture look silly, when in reality it can be a great tool (when used correctly) in having people face consequences for their unacceptable behavior.
