This whole thread is borderline racist. Its sad to read some of the comments people are posting about blacks. Im not excusing his multiple arrests but the X-man is one person. He does not define my race. Many whites and other races commit crimes and are never arrested or are punished less severely. Also races, such as, blacks generally are subjected to much harsher childhoods and broken households. There are many experience that poor black people go through that you will never understand. How many people here have drug addicts in their family? dont have both parents? dont have role models? never left their neighborhood? never been loved or cared? worried about their next meal? You should think about these things before you go judging a race or person. The X-man clearly made some bad decisions considering his opportunities but lets just leave it at that.
So you are contending that whites and non-blacks just simply get away with carrying illegal firearms and weapons, drugs etc etc?
Yeah, I'm guessing they don't - man, that ridiculous line has been in use since the 80's. Absolute bee-ess.
Furthermore, how is it the law abiding citizens of America's fault that Xavier Carter may have grown up in a family of "drug addicts" and lacking "role models"?
Racist? This thread is racist?! And how is that? Because some idiot within our sport is a criminal and someone wants to report the facts? Make no mistake about it - he's a criminal. The things he has done ARE FRIGGIN WELL ILLEGAL.
He doesn't get a free pass because he is black. Just because he may have had a rough upbringing. That guy probably has more $$$ in his bank than 3/4 of white America does - THERE ARE NO EXCUSES ANYMORE.
Instead of trying to blame everybody but yourselves, how about sticking your well and truly overused race card back in your wallet and taking a look in the mirror pal.
