Absolutely, the Lady Bears are our team and ladies that represent Baylor in the best fashion. It's a term of endearment & admiration. I don't understand why anyone would be bothered by that.buildabear1 said:

I had no idea it was a racist term. Thank you for bringing that to our attentionbuildabear1 said:
It's not a term of endearment as you would like to think, but a rascist term. Condone by most of you on this form. I come here because I like the lady bears basketball team, and put up with a lot of crap. But i will call out the problem when i see it.
Don't feel alone wichitabear. I've never ever known it to be racist. But times are changing you know.Wichitabear said:I had no idea it was a racist term. Thank you for bringing that to our attentionbuildabear1 said:

Good grief! Aren't there real issues out there causing problems in America?
We still have a lockdown/quarantine because of a disease unleashed on the world by the incompetence of the Chinese communist dictatorship. And now, American cities are being traumatized by criminals who feel entitled to loot, vandalize, and attack people. And their excuse is the horrible and tragic death of an innocent man. How many innocent people must suffer because of their actions?
Valid point. Too many people suffer because of the criminal behavior of others, whether dirty cops or rioters/looters. I am in complete agreement with you there. If more Americans would learn to live by Christ's commandments ("You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.") then these terrible things would not happen, or at least not as often. That's the particularly frustrating aspect of all of this: at happens too often. There are too many selfish people acting out their selfish desires without regards for others. I think the vast majority of cops are decent people and are likely angered by what that one bad cop did just as I'm sure there are plenty of black people who do not identify with the handful who are engaged in rioting or looting. The problems transcend race since we are all sinners and all capable of doing horrible things to one another. The only answer I know of is to treat each other with love as Christ commanded, and with respect.buildabear1 said:
Lol, how many have to suffer because of the criminals in blue killing blacks. This is the very talk that keeps America divided. You and the ones that cosign your rhetoric keeps up anger and division. You think the young ladies you Cheer on aren't affected by the tragedies. Go to social pages and look. Trust me i know I'm alone in the fight on this page. Yes I'm African American Man. Better yet don't go to there page you may decide not support them gals.
Now maybe you can come to the board more. We do love our lady bears.buildabear1 said:

Heart change is the only change that will make a difference.Eball said:
People sin been that way since Adam and Eve won't change no matter how hard we try as people or think we have it figured out...people have always hated other people just because they are different that will never change show me any minority group through out the ages that did not feel oppressed at some time or the other by a majority group...sometimes maybe most times justified. This recent incident as bad as it is/was and the protests , riots and looting will not bring about changes in how people feel or act...you can change all the laws you want and attempt to control peoples actions and feelings to some degree but the only real change will occur when peoples hearts are changed. I see way too many Christians more interested in politics than heart change...
As much as some may claim police brutality is limited to race it is not it may happen because of race on occasion but Bad cops just like bad people really don't care about anyone else just themselves and gratifying their sin issues...I have had countless friends and clients complain about conduct of law enforcement folks and Judges over the years most have been white...I have handle race discrimination cases and reverse race discrimination cases...it happens.
We have plenty laws and the constitution and bill of rights to help anyone of any color or status redress wrongs but it does not stop wrongs from happening because people are sinners.
Nothing inflames a majority more than their belief that someone is getting preferential treatment...think everyday Joe and Corp fat cats, think uneducated v educated think, social economic differences, minorities who get treated differently in order to protect their status in a job, school or whatever so the institution can show it is not being discriminatory.
People who break the law and do wrong should be punished and brought to justice but when you deal with imperfect people you will always have failures.
Bias prejudice and sympathy we all have them.
I just wish more of us would be interested in making heart change.
