Texas superintendent 'totally regrets' racist Facebook comment on black NFL quarterbacks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A school superintendent in Texas who wrote online that football fans “can’t count on a black quarterback” now says he “totally regrets” the racist remark.

Lynn Redden, superintendent of the Onalaska Independent School District, said Monday that he wishes he never made the comment, which came in regards to Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Redden raised eyebrows Monday when he left the remark in the Facebook comments section of a Chron.com article about the Texans’ 20-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans Sunday.

“That may have been the most inept quarterback decision I’ve seen in the NFL. When you need precision decision making you can’t count on a black quarterback,” he wrote, referring to Watson holding the ball for a lengthy amount of time as the clock continued to tick and time eventually expired.

Redden told Chron.com that he thought he was responding to a private message from a friend and did not know his comment had been posted publicly.

He said he deleted it as soon as he realized it was out on the internet for the world to see, and wishes “it had never been posted.”

Meaning he got exposed for what he really is.

1. Oh, well, as long as he totally regrets it.

FFS, he needs to be removed from a school setting.

2. let's see... a post that was intended to be private was posted publicly

and the subject of the stupidly posted idiocy was on the intelligence of black quarterbacks.

Irony.

3. 1st rule of social media: don't say anything you'll immediately regret later.

4. Glad to know that he has racist friends that he feels comfortable enough to

share his racist thought with. When he says "he thought he was responding to a private message from a friend", he somehow thinks that makes his racist views OK, and that just compounds the problem of having someone like that in a position of power over schools with black students.

5. So if black kids grades are lower in his district or school he'll blame the parents

6. And didn't Mahomes toss 6 TDs for Kansas City on the same day?

7. Nah. He hates the backlash is all.
