It is always interesting to hear white people (I assume you are white, by how your post reads, so correct me if I am wrong) speak for how all black people think. It would be interesting to know how many black people you see and interact with on a daily basis. Where do you live? In a small town in Iowa with maybe no blacks that reside there, like the town in Iowa I grew up in?
Did you forget that the father of the black recruit from SE Iowa, Xavier Foster, expressed his concern over Dolph's comments? Is he that random black person to which you refer? Do you think he was alone in his thoughts on the matter? He didn't try to get Dolph fired when he expressed his thoughts on the matter. He was actually trying to thoughtfully educate people through dialogue. You would have heard that had you actually been listening. But instead of listening to a different perspective, you probably had already erected your walls to keep anyone from saying something that might make sense and change your mind.
A lot of people like to say that words matter; that what people say matters. But what they really mean is that it only matters when it is important to me or people that think like me. If it matters to less than 30% of the people, and I am in the other 70%, then it doesn't REALLY matter. And I will let them know why their feelings are incorrect by "educating" them on what was REALLY said and what it REALLY meant.
That is what I hear YOU saying. But I am sure you can "educate" me on why what I am hearing is incorrect. And I have indeed, stepped into the fray. So go ahead, if you want. I don't really have anything else to say. But I am sure others will after reading my comments.
