White guy in the exact same pic would get same response, so pls stop the this is racist bs.

I thought the same thing till I really thought about it and pictured a white guy. sad to say but it would look different

Looks alittle different, but overall would get the same response.

or at least if it was a clean cut white guy it would look different, not so much a trailer trash white guy. a clean cut white guy in that picture looks like someone being funny trying to be gangsta. as opposed to just looking gangsta

lol! white guys trying to look gangsta are funny and that would help the perception of this picture

Nothing about that pic says anything other than a clean cut young man that is enthusiastic about target shooting. If you read anything else into it is on you.

I don't have a problem with this-- I love to shoot. They are cleared and siide is back---good safety

Perception is reality. You choose to pose with handguns for twitter and you want a scholarship to a real school.....says your brain could fit in one of those chambers.

that's a bit of a stretch.

 

[pmchawk]

if it was a white guy, say JVB, I wonder what people would think of it

I don't think JVB has the balls to use a tranquilizer gun on a bear. (one in his right hand looks like one anyway.)

Who's the fat kid?

Who's the fat kid?

that joke's played out.

that doesn't appear to be a 'fat kid' in the pic.

Yeah, no, not even close to proper safe firearm technique.
The idiot fails on at least two counts:
- Fingers on triggers.
- Muzzles pointing anywhere but the ground.

 

[latrans]

The pistol in his right hand is 22 cal Ruger target pistol, slides are back indicating there is no round in the chamber. Yeah, super gagsta.

If it had been some white posing w/ his shotgun on the farm no one would have problem with it.

 

[Scorpio79]

Verdict: not gangsta, just stupid and irresponsible.

Haha you're funny, its about our football players if anyone of our FOOTBALL players would have taken the same pic (no matter white/black) would have gotten same reaction. Some WHITE posing with a shotgun is irrelevant.

i respectfully disagree. everyone applauded jvb for killing a bear. if the pics had been of him with a gun (i know he used a bow) and the bear no one would think twice. this was a bad decision by coe but i think some of it is racial and the pose he has.

And I respectfully disagree. Hunting for sport and standing holding pistols while posing are completely two different things. Look at it the other way, what if Coe was standing there with a bear he had just killed he would have got the same slack from the people that disagreed with what JVB had done (as well as the people that had no problem with it). On the other hand if JVB took the same pic that Coe did not being with the team yet people would think same of him (that being a stupid decision and would not want him as a hawkeye either). Really disagree with people who try to make everything about a persons race because you know what?..... some times its not.
