Tit for tat: Vol Network personality calls out racially-charged tweet, gets fired for racially-charged tweet
University of Tennessee sports reporter Kasey Funderburg has apparently been fired by the university following the revelation of tweets containing racist slurs that she apparently made when she was a high school student nearly a decade ago.
As Outkick first reported Thursday, Funderburg’s profile page has been deleted from the Tennessee athletics website. She was an on-air talent for VFL Films and a sideline reporter for the Vol Network.
Her termination — if that is indeed what has happened — came at the end of a cycle that, ironically, began with Funderburg.
Earlier this week, a Twitter user who calls himself Richard G. West and purports to be a news reporter said that UT would be asking fans to paint their faces black as part of the “Dark Mode” for the Vols’ game against Kentucky on Saturday.
West isn’t really a news reporter, nor is he a real person. His Twitter account is a parody account, and he is constantly hooking unsuspecting followers with “news” about Tennessee sports.
“All fans will be asked to wear black clothes and paint their faces all black as well,” West wrote.
For those who might not know, blackface — facial makeup typically worn in theater in the late 19th century and early 20th century, a practice that was abandoned because it came to be considered highly offensive — has come under renewed scrutiny in recent years. (Now...? You read this bullshit RIGHT HERE BY THIS PIECE OF SHIT WHO TYPED THIS UP, this? THIS!? Is how WHITES REWRITE THEIR OWN SCUMBAG-SHITTY HISTORY & THEN TOSS IT OUT TO OTHER WHITES AS AN OUT, so that They can all then BUY INTO THEM CHANGING AROUND THE ACTUAL, FACTUAL-EVENTS!!!! That THEY PREVIOUS GENERATIONS PARTICIPATED IN! Blackface, as I typed on here YEARS AGO, YEARS, ago, had nothing to do with simply a bunch of Whites RANDOMLY DECIDING that They were going to fuckin paint Their Faces Black! Where they had no fuckin point to what They were doing or why They were doing, yet this fuckin White-Apologist Asshole!?
Is trying to CONTINUE THE CONSISTENT TREND OF WHITES REWRITING THEIR OWN BEHAVIOR & THEN USING THE FACT THAT THEY OWN-&-CONTROL EVERYTHING TO CHANGE THE REWRITTEN-LIE/S, into "the New Factual-Truth" on whatever Matter THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM & COVER UP!!!! Again!?
How anyone, BLACK OR OTHERWISE, can then be DUMB ENOUGH TO EVEN THINK, let alone say or act upon "Yeah, We can SIT DOWN & TALK REASONABLY & WORK SHIT OUT, with a RACE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NORMALIZED, THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR." is fuckin, STUPID. COWARDLY! And is ALSO A LIE ON THE PART OF ANY IDIOT WHO WOULD IGNORE SUCH A MASSIVE, INESCAPABLE, RED FLAG OF DISTRUST & DISHONESTY!!!!!
Add to this that when I found THIS PARTICULAR PIECE, written by some RANDO-WHITEMAN, it is the reason WHY I DECIDED TO POST IT HERE. To SHOW YOU ONCE AGAIN, how Whites, NOT BLACKS. Keep on GETTING THEMSELVES INTO SITUATIONS WHERE THEY GET PISSED WHEN THEY ARE TOLD TO THEIR FACES "You are an UNTRUSTWORTHY RACE OF LIARS."
It is SHIT LIKE THIS, as well as, SHIT LIKE WHITE-WOKEISM, which has NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WE AS BLACK-AMERICANS CREATED! When We took the word Woke, and then gave it an ENTIRELY DISTINCTIVE DEFINITION AMONGST OUR OWN RANKS, WHERE NO WHITE-PEOPLE HAD EVER USED THE WORD-TERM TILL THEY WANTED TO START SLANDERING EACH OTHER WITH THE END GOAL OF ONCE AGAIN DESTROYING SOMETHING WE'D CREATED...!
I needed to TYPE THIS, because I need to REMIND YOU ONCE AGAIN, no, none, no Black-Americans, are forcing this Whiteman to sit & type a FLATOUT LIE!!!!!
Blackface was created by VOTING WHITES OF THE TIME, where I also typed about THAT TOO, as well as Green Gorilla did a broadcast DEEP-DIVING INTO THE FACTUAL, ACTUAL HISTORY, of Voting IN AMERICA, and its REAL HISTORY.
These Whites, would VOTE, and the Whites THEY WOULD VOTE FOR WOULD TURN AROUND & DO WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY WANTED ONCE THEY GOT INTO OFFICE, sound familiar, sounds like current-events, further proof of why Black-Americans have no business blindly voting with NO TANGIBLES ON THE TABLE STRICTLY FOR US, where...!?
These were Whites who had to OWN LAND & meet SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS, meaning YOU COULD NOT BE, FUCKIN POORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! Long live democracy MY ASS!
This country was WHITE-DOMINATED, and yet, JUST LIKE IN THEIR ANCESTRAL HOMELAND OF EUROPE!? The White 1% & those DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THEM, were & STILL ARE, where it is simply done in a different way today but They are, THEE ONLY ONES WITH A VOICE OR POTENTIAL VOICE! These Voting-Whites of Yesteryear, GOT SO FRUSTRATED & ANGRY!?!?!? That THEY PAINTED THEIR FACES BLACK & TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY FELT LIKE THEY WERE BEING TREATED LIKE NIGGERS!!!!!
THAT!?!?
You lying sack of SHIT!
Is the ACTUAL ORIGINS OF FUCKIN BLACKFACE!
And the curse words are there because They fuckin need to be there! Because We cannot keep ALLOWING WHITES TO LIE TO OUR FACES & THEN ONLY TYPE SHIT UP ONLINE & NOT DO ANY ACTUAL WORK IN THE REAL WORLD!!!!!
We cannot, as Black-People, keep allowing Whites to LIE ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE ACTUALLY, FACTUALLY, DONE! Lemme let the rest of this Bullshit he typed playout & pay attention to all the BULLSHIT this muthafucka IS TYPING! Where he also proves that WHITES DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT SHIT FOR AS LONG AS IT AIN'T FUCKIN HAPPENING TO THEM...!)
Funderburg decided this week to point out how offensive West’s tweet was.
“It’s disgusting that this person thinks putting out a joke like this is okay,” she tweeted. “Please don’t believe everything you read on Twitter.”
Less than two days after Funderburg called out West, she found herself being called out for — ironically — racially-charged tweets.
A former University of Tennessee tennis player named Elizabeth Profit screen-shotted tweets from Funderburg from 2013 and 2014. In them, she used the word “nigga.”
The tweets were made when Funderburg was a high school student.
“As a former @Vol_WTennis and @Vol_Sports black student athlete im disappointed to see that people with these viewpoints continue to work in this sacred parts,” Profit tweeted. “She made my time as a post grad at vfl films MISERABLE. Hope something is done about this.”
A day later, Funderburg had been scrubbed from the UT Sports website.
There’s rich irony in the fact that Funderburg called a parody Twitter account to the mat over a racially-charged joke, then wound up being exposed for her own racially-charged tweets.
However, the fact that someone is fired over a dumb tweet that was made when they were basically a kid is mind-numbing, even in this day and age.
The fact that someone would want to see a person’s livelihood destroyed because they apparently have a beef with that person is unbelievably petty.
At the end of the day, West’s tweet was in poor taste but didn’t really hurt anyone. It was a race-based joke, but it’s hard to say that it was racist in nature.
And, at the end of the day, Funderburg’s tweets from nearly 10 years ago were in poor taste, but it’s also hard to believe they hurt anyone. It’s impossible to read racist intent into her tweets; more likely, she was a naive high school student trying to fit in.
Yet, round and round we go. One person wants to expose a dumb parody account that is known for saying outrageous things. Someone else wants to get that person fired for long-past dumb tweets. (This Fool could give two-fucks about whatever horrors this Blackwoman had to go through dealing with this Funderburg-Whitewoman, pay attention to THAT FACT, meanwhile, White-Person shoots up a school, WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT DROVE THEM TO DO THIS!? White-Person shoots up anyplace Black-People are, MEH, go sing-&-dance to the Niggers & let's get back to talking about Black-on-Black Crime in Chicago, where!? CAMERAS ARE EVERYWHERE YET NOBODY IS GETTING CAUGHT FOR ALL OF THESE CRIMES) And, no doubt, there are Vol fans sifting through Profit’s Twitter history as we speak to see if she’s said anything that can be used against her.
Where does it end? (Note that Whites don't make the Mistake of Tweeting Racial Insults TOWARDS ANYONE ELSE THOUGH, now DO THEY!? Where does it End, this fuckin moron types, where does it End, as if someone has CALLED THE POLICE ON HER FOR SELLING CIGARETTES IN FRONT OF HIS STORE & THEN THE POLICE KILLED HER FOR IT, oh wait, or someone calling the Police WITH THE INTENT OF GETTING HER KILLED BECAUSE SHE HAD THE NERVE TO TELL THEM THEY HAD TO OBEY THE FUCKIN RULES OF THE PARK, this is the level of HOW LONG this horrific power-dynamic has been going on. Where the MOMENT Whites CAN'T SIMPLY SCREAM NIGGER-NIGGER-NIGGER ON AIR, now "WE'RE LOSING OUR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH!!!!!" yet They won't scream "KIKE-KIKE-KIKE-KIKE" & "HITLER WAS RIGHT" on air though, THEY DON'T SCREAM "GET THESE WETBACKS & GOOKS & CHINKS OFF MY AIRWAVES & BRING BACK BONANZA!!!!! Whites DON'T DO THIS THINGS PRESENT-DAY because all of "these racial-groups" are ACCEPTABLE TO WHITES & in TOO MANY INSTANCES WERE OR ARE, classified, AS WHITES! REGARDLESS OF WHAT THOSE SAME RACIAL-GROUPS SAY OR CLAIM...! This madness will END, when Black-Americans GAIN REAL POWER, whether anyone else LIKES IT OR NOT. And We won't get that BY PLAYING STUPID ABOUT THE HAND WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH & THE CARDS WHITES KEEP SHOVING ON US & THEN GETTING UPSET WHEN WE REFUSE TO KEEP PLAYING IN THE CORRUPT-CASINO THAT THEY BUILT...!)
In a perfect world, parody accounts like Richard G. West wouldn’t be able to fool innocent people, and they wouldn’t find humor in racially-charged jokes. In a perfect world, even young high school students wouldn’t use racially-charged language, however innocent their intent might be.
But we don’t live in a perfect world. We live in an imperfect world populated by flawed human beings. Sadly, we’ve converted ourselves to a society that holds no secrets, using social media apps on our phone to leave our entire lives and our every action forever exposed to the masses. It’s unfortunate that people with axes to grind are working hard to find any flaw in our past to use in their quest to tear us down. It’s even more unfortunate that people in positions of authority cave to the pressure that’s created by those petty-minded justice warriors. (This muthafucka is full of shit)
And it’s almost surreal that we live in a world where a football player can punch a young coed who poses no threat to him, without repercussion, because he’s “afraid” but a professional in the same industry can be fired for a mild comment she made as a high school teenager nearly a decade ago. (A...? Mild. Comment. So this dumb-fuck DOESN'T REMEMBER THE RED SCARE, which HIS RACE IN THIS PLACE, CREATED. This piece of shit, doesn't remember "the Mild Comments" after 9/11 happened & Whites were RANDOMLY ATTACKING ANYBODY WHO EVEN REMOTELY LOOKED LIKE, in Their fucked-up Mind, AS ARABS. White-Americans had REDUCED US TO SLAVES-&-PROPERTY, yet Whites STILL FOUND THE TIME TO DISCRIMINATE-ALIENATE-&-ATTACK Irish-Americans, Asian-Americans, Italian-Americans & what was left of Native-American Indians, all of whom had lovely MILD COMMENTS IN THE FUCKIN FORM OF RACIAL SLURS, yet You then EXPECT ME, as a Black-American, to not SEE THIS CRAZED, HORRIBLE-BEHAVIOR, and then say "Meh, surely I can trust that Whites will have MY BEST INTEREST IN MIND, I mean!?!?! NOT LIKE THEY'VE FOUGHT MASSIVE WORLD WARS EVEN WHEN THEY HAD ALL THE FUCKIN POWER TO THEMSELVES, RIGHT, HAHAAHAHAHAHHA, no -_-. And of course, more MILD COMMENTS, countless jokes about Polish-people, meanwhile unless You know any fuckin actual history you don't know that They USED TO BE VERY POWERFUL AT ONE POINT IN THEIR HISTORY & THE HISTORY OF THEIR RACE, nope! THAT DOESN'T MATTER, because "how many Poles does it take to screw in a light-bulb?" har-har-har, ISN'T THAT FUNNY, no You piece of shit, IT ISN'T. It is NOT FUCKIN FUNNY, because YOUR FUCKED UP SENSE OF HUMOR HAS NO GODDAMN GUARD-RAILS TO IT, ASSHOLE! And then I'm supposed to say "Well surely because Whites destroyed OUR SOCIETY & CIVILIZATION ON A GLOBAL SCALE, why, SURELY I CAN TRUST, no. NO. -_- AND MORE NO! >_< Meanwhile this moron ends this crapfest he typed with this CRAP at the End;
We’re devolving. You all know that, right?
(Newsflash, CBS calls itself the "Family Network" meanwhile IT HAD CHARLIE SHEEN WITH TWO-&-HALF MEN WHERE SHEEN WAS AN HIV-AIDS INFECTED SCUMBAG WHO BEAT WOMEN & HIS CHARACTER ON THAT SHOW WAS A WOMANIZING SCUMBAG AS WELL, family-network, RIGHT!? OHHHHHHHHHH WAIT!? How about LES MOONVES, STILL WAITING ON THE WHITE/WHITE-JEWISH MASS MEDIA BLITZ ABOUT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE WOMEN HE ALLEGEDLY RAPED & WHATEVER ELSE, DIDN'T HE WORK & CONTROL CBS, family-channel, RIGHT!? HOW ABOUT BIG BROTHER, a show THAT REWARDS YOU FOR LYING & MANIPULATING PEOPLE WHILE ALL BEING VIDEOTAPED FOR "wholesome family-values" EAT A WHOLE FAMILY-NETWORK OF DICKS & CHOKE ON THEM & DIE WITH THIS BULLSHIT...! I'm done with this fuckin post!)
