It seems liberals cant win at anything anymore. Not even a simple coin toss. So it has to be racist.
Yep , you heard it right. That coin was racist. Disregarding the laws of probability . Probability is science so therefore should not be considered .

Look, seriously. I know the alt-right media machine is very proficient at churning out all of these 'XYZ Is Now Racist!' outrage stories, but they're absolute fabrications designed to distract you with simple outrage from the real issue.
Read the Chicago Tribune story, the story is actually about this angle of it:
"The coin toss is almost beside the point. That the vote was tied between a bronze medalist and a two-time gold medalist points to an outcome that also included intangibles — among them, likeability and popularit y. While a coin cannot be biased, people can — and often, the results of racial bias can sting with unfairness."
That's the issue here.
Absolutely not that the coin toss is 'racist'. Stop allowing complex issues to be boiled down to these simple emotional headlines by people who don't want us to think about the complex issues.

I kinda didn't want to believe this one but today, well anything is possible.
Yes you read the title correctly.
The coin toss,
The most innocent of decision makers.
The true 50/50 chance.
Rock, paper, scissors is the coin tosses lil bitch.
Yet now it's racist.
Well kinda.
There was a coin toss to decide which athlete would get to carry the American flag at the Olympic opening ceremony.
One, a black male speed skater.
One, a white female skier.
They agreed to a coin toss and the woman won.
"The skater, Shani Davis, said the coin toss was dishonorable"

So then, Kap being half white, does that mean Ole Barry isn't the first black president? Only half of the first black president?

I do not fail to see the irony in the situation.
Black American are upset about not carrying the flag at the Olympics that represents their country but at the same time support black athletes that refuse to stand and respect the flag during the national anthem.
You don't respect it but want to carry it....
My world just doesn't make sense anymore.

Yes, he was the first mixed race president. That is pretty common knowledge.
