Coeur d'Alene community reacts to reported racial incident against Utah Women's Basketball team

Members of the community said they were disappointed and that shouldn't happen anywhere.

[@vestagirl8484]

This day and age, and no video? Hmm

[@jaycagle6453]

100 % Right 👍🏼

[@mesaeddie]

Shocked I tell you , yeah right.

[@bingbang3318]

A 90 top and no one had a phone or camera? Interesting

[@deuswulf6193]

The whole downtown area is covered with security cameras as well. There is no way something like this would not be on camera if it happened.

[@brand5466]

Man that sucks if this is true but It feels weird this thing is turning into a huge spectacle without any evidence.

[@Rootsmanskanking]

Bro I don't think you understand. The whole team, including White coaches ..white Players , and white trainers were with the team and heard the slurs. This is not just black players complaining. You have to be living in a bubble to think this cant happenin CDA..supposedlyl there is a video the police is reviewing. Have there been false cries of racial incidents..yes ..this just doesn't look like one of them ...happens more in America than a lot of people want to believe.

[@packergeek10]

Yep. No video at all.

[@manuelrojas387]

I'm from idaho, born and raised. The reason brown idahoans, yes there are lots of us, don't go to couer d'alene is because it is, was, has been, and will continue to be a rascist area.

[@brand5466]

@@manuelrojas387 The POC I know don't seem to have a problem with CDA. I've personally seen more racism in major metropolitan cities than I have in CDA, but of course those instances won't make the news. The only people I know that truly think there's an entrenched racist population here all seem to share one similar quality - they're ideologically possessed slacktivists coping with living in a world with lack of meaning. Finding, or more often than not, creating demonstrable moments of outrage so they can LARP as a resistance to oppression.

[@KevinKevs-sp1rd]

so it’s hard to believe that a town full of inbreds are racist? That town has a history of racism it’s all they have.

[@jimmib6143]

Blame the women. That is original!

[@stevelangdon6227]

I seriously hope this is not true but, Video? Pics? Nothing so far. Seems odd when there are phones and cams basically everywhere! Not one of those basketball players took a video or Pic?

[@micclay]

It supposedly happened a week ago. I doubt there's alot of pickups flying Confederate flags riding around town. No video or photos.

[@pacwest1000]

the mob doesn't need evidence. All those cell phones and girls constantly taking selfies and no evidence even when supposedly followed back to the hotel. hmmm...

[@sophiamunoz103]

There are videos and audio recordings smarts all you have to do is look it up

[@jaycagle6453]

I don't believe this to be true and the manager of crafted they have an outside patio none of their employees or patrons there heard it is this big guy in the ugly coat from Utah the only one with the complaint I'm downtown all the time and I've never seen it in all my years I think this is just a way for the man to use as a crutch for losing to Gonzaga he knew he was going to lose and he's from Utah I mean, I have family in Utah and I told him I lived in Coeur d'Alene and they said oh the white supremacist state so apparently people think we're racist state anyway so this man probably had it in his mind to begin with before they even got here probably pissed the NCAA put them here anyway my rent is over I don't believe this happened I'm honestly shocked that if it did happen no one did anything about it there's no video no proof at all other than this jolly dude and an an ugly jacket

[@rocloerocloe4702]

Again, these are allegations, which i really hope are not true (as a CDA resident), but let’s see some evidence as to what actually happened. Keep in mind, there are those out there that would love to slander North Idaho and brand it. Jesse Smolett ring a bell as to what some folks are willing to do? Not saying this is what’s happening but I don’t really appreciate CDA’s reputation being tarnished by something that has not seen a shred of irrefutable evidence. KTVB is really sensationalizing this without any evidence.

[@John-uz4et]

Racist says what? Jesse? You’re comparing a failing actors desperate act for press to UofU college girls? Shouldn’t you be busy planning the next Jan. 6? Or an attack on a gay pride parade? Nice try White Supremacist Nazi freak…NOBODY BUT YOUR KKK KLAN IS BUYING YOUR SEEDS OF DOUBT! You’re only telling everyone that YOU are a RACIST.

[@KevinKevs-sp1rd]

They have video and audio proof but I’m sure for some people that will never be enough. Your town is full of these inbreds who are losers and have never accomplished anything in their lives which is why they resort to chasing and cursing out teenagers unprovoked. Usually suspects if you ask me

[@pacwest1000]

there definitely is a political/media movement to run down Idaho as being backwards. Dems in Washington State are upset that people are going there to shop, go out to dinner, buy gas, etc. they are losing revenue.

[@FiFo911]

Yep, everyone is a racist in N. idaho. In addition to racists, we have dangerous big foots, snakes in the water and arctic winters. I hear Iowa is nice.

[@Greysquirrel98]

Yeah yeah yeah that jokes getting old

[@sophiamunoz103]

North Idaho is where the Aryan nation was founded and is a place that is notorious for racism and discrimination this place is full of the worst kinds of people and it is such a shame because the town is absolutely gorgeous, the problem is not the place it is the people that inhabit the place

[@abbypitts3857]

I dont buy it at this point. They thought "this place is backwater. I bet they jave racists here." And magically, out of nowhere, racists appeared. 🙄

[@beck9522]

They are from Utah. There's tons of racists there. They don't need to make some up here for fun.

[@manuelrojas387]

They flagged down cops. . .cops are like yea let's just point out car cameras in a direction that covers our incompetence

[@AbsterNoneOther]

Oh wow I'm shocked

[@deuswulf6193]

Need proof, not the usual false accusations.

[@BestAuntieEver]

Alleged.

[@constancemichelle52]

I bet they are trumpsters!!!

[@manuelrojas387]

Born in idaho, never been to couer d'alene in my 46 years of life, never wanted to go. Cause we know its a rascist area. Yes it aint a secret. Mcall is fine, sunvalley is fine, payette is fine, couer d'alene is a crap rascist place, all the people who complain about cant all be lying.

[@LetsEatPigfeet]

People can't even live safely in their homes in Idaho

[@beck9522]

That area is incredible racist are you kidding? That's literally my hometown so no one say I'm lying. If she's lived there 30 years and thinks that would never happen its just bc she's a white women so shes never had to directly experienc ehats for being a person of color or lgbt. But you get hate all the time living there if you are. If you're commenting that you need video proof that's so dumb, as people get called slurs all the time and not everyone has their camera all ready. Sherman avenue is the tourist street but it's Idaho. No doubt this happened and I'm so sorry for them.

[@TheAmberpooh82]

Idaho has been racist for years. People act like this is something knew and unexpected. Aryan nations are still in that area!

[@deuswulf6193]

"Racism" is everywhere, even in the most "progressive" cities it can run rampant. The problem is that some of it allowed due to "political correctness", some groups get a pass for doing it en masse, while other groups get attacked for doing even a fraction of that.

They need to be arrested for false information. This farcical tale would be laughable if not for the wasted resources.

[@1.culturechanger]

I lauched a AMZ Facility in Spokane and we visited Coeur d'Alene around a 20min + drive. I felt a little uncomfortable with the looks, however I am use to it, you people, especially the uneducated always have this superiority mindset like you cant do anything wrong, example this low intelligent level comment.

[@scarpfish]

Well, just as they have to prove that it happened, you have to prove that they're lying about it.

[@micclay]

@@scarpfish they didn't have to prove anything. News outlets are reporting it as fact, even though anyone with a functional brain knows it's not.
