The sister of Fitchburg State star basketball player Kewan Platt, who went viral for cheapshotting Nichols College player Nate Tanaglia, has chimed in about the incident. This is who we’re dealing with.
We got a snapchat filter and a tittoo. I think we all can guess what card she’s about to play…..
The Race Card. Never leave home without it.
When I first watched this video I thought I was watching a frustrated player who didn’t get a call he wanted take out his aggression on the player after he made sure the ref wasn’t looking.
But that was just my white privilege talking. Turns out it was really the “white man tryna make a black man look bad and mess up his name.” The whole thing was Nate Tanaglia’s fault. He made Kewan elbow him in the face because he’s racist.
I thought the videos she posted would possibly enlighten us by showing a dirty play by Tanaglia, or maybe even a racial slur or two. But it turned out to just be a highlight reel of Kewan dunking.
Someone who seems to contradict her theory is Kewan himself, who issued an apology today on IG.

A lot of people are hating on him for the apology. I dunno, what else can he do? He fucked up and he knows it. He doesn’t make any excuses in the post. The only thing he did wrong was do it on IG. What happened to the days when you actually apologize to the person you’ve wronged, instead of posting about how you apologize on social media?
A few people also sent us this link, about a man they claim is Kewan’s pa dukes, who happens to live in Jamaica Plain where Kewan is from.
The program supervisor at the Hennigan Community Center was arrested on June 13 for allegedly setting up a school playground fight between his daughter and another girl, then grabbing the girl himself and throwing and hitting her, according to the Boston Police Department (BPD). A witness reportedly captured the alleged fight on a cell phone video. Robert L. Platt, 49, who lives on Minden Street near the Hennigan school and community center at 200 Heath St., was charged with assault and battery on a child under 14 causing injury, according to an official BPD incident report and the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office. Police officers also filed a child abuse report with state officials.
The BPD report does not state the age of Platt’s daughter, but identifies the alleged assault victim as 13 years old. The report said that the two girls had an ongoing conflict, including a history of fights. The alleged victim reportedly was hanging out at the Hennigan School playground on the afternoon of June 13 when Platt spotted her, then “went across the street, to his home, got his daughter…and instigated a fight between the two girls.”
The BPD report says that cell phone video taken by an unidentified witness shows “the victim and the suspect’s daughter fighting and the suspect standing around watching and antagonizing the girls. During the video, as the victim overtook the daughter, the suspect leaned down, grabbed the victim by her face, and threw her on the ground.”
The alleged victim claims that Platt also punched her in the face at that time. The BPD report says: “Officers could not clearly see [in the video] what occurred after this but did see the victim lying on the ground, holding her face….” The victim required medical attention, according to the report. The witness who took the cell phone video also reported that after the fight, Platt told his daughter, “Every time you see [the victim], you better fight her.” Platt has been involved in local community centers for at least 17 years and is the longtime program supervisor at the Hennigan. In 1996, the Gazette reported on his efforts to broker peace among some youths involved in turf-war street violence.

When all else fails blame white people?
What a low IQ defence she made, should we be surprised in todays race card society?
Heath St. That’s all you have to know.
All I have to say is, “She light skinned.”
We shoulda picked our own damn cotton
I’m sure the SJW’s will be calling her out for blaming the victim
For a second I thought the victims name was Tryna.
Your brother made a bad decision. He let his emotions get the best of him . He’s probably a good kid, but he fucked up. He apologized, did the “man up” thing. Nobody forced him into his bad decision. He fucked up. Period. Now he has to deal with the consequences of that bad decision.
You, on the other hand, are an asshole.
Don’t try and use “racism” as a cover for bad decisions.
You should be thankful that your brother isn’t being charged criminally.
This wasn’t incidental contact. It wasn’t even a flagrant foul.
It was clearly an intent to injure.
It was a viscious assault on another person, who never saw it coming.
Your brother fucked up.
Now he has to deal with the consequences of his actions.
Hopefully, he learned something about controlling his emotions.
A life lesson.
Now you need a life lesson: stop playing the race card.
Sort of reminded me the Dave Chappelle skit “when keeping it real goes wrong”. He thought he was going to teach the other player a lesson for having the nerve to play tight defense against him and cause him to throw up a shot that missed the hoop by about 40 feet. He could have broken that guy’s neck with a clothesline like that, he deserves every bit of fallout over this and should consider himself lucky he just got kicked off the team and nothing more. Don’t worry, dude, the NBA wasn’t ready to draft your division 3 ass…
I thought Laramie was a city in Wyoming. My bad.
Doubt it. That dad probably couldn’t point out Boston on a map.
Not even on a map of Boston labeled “Boston”
She could probably do The Whole of Laramie for sure
She has a point. That white boy was putting on a clinic.
If he truly thought to apologize on his own, I’d give him a pass. You get one fuck up, not 20 or 30. Otherwise, he’s just another you know what. Although, given the sister…
I’m pretty sure Laramii sucked my cock at my bud’s bachelor party while I fingered her asshole.
What happened to the N word allegations? Did that disappear into the mist just like the Duke lacrosse allegations? If I was the victim here I’d be consulting with Richard N Vulva Esq.
Monkey See – Monkey Do
Fuck yo brova, Mocha’Latté, where my money? And why you tellin’ the honkeys yo real name?? Does Quin’Tesince hafta choke a ho??? Don’t make me put down my chalice.
Word Quin
She be bad fo biznezz yo!
Black guy wants unearned handout from people in power.
Doesn’t get what he wants, throws tantrum and assaults someone.
Blames the racist whites for everything.
It’s almost like they dipshits have a playbook and apply this to everything.
Garden variety ratchet peeps o color
Well, there goes that Criminal Justice career he was planning on . . . . .
Sorry sister, that’s a black man making black men look bad.
He’ll still have the career but without the justice part.
the unmarked grave
White men don’t have to try and make blacks look bad, you do a fine job of that all by yourself…
Reason 1,657 I wish the South won the civil war.
No, we should have picked our own cotton. The war started because the south didn’t to pay the cotton taxes.
Another attack on the innocent from a low IQ racist, “Y’all don’t realize this is just the white man tryna to make the black man look bad…”
Laramii, you’re a piece of shit and yes, you and your brother are the real racists here. You don’t need any help looking bad, nor does your thug brother. Every post, action and sentence coming from the both of you proves it and makes you look bad. Own it, “Y’all”
This would have never happened in hockey. 😉
No, Sunshine. It was not the dreaded, white-privileged devil that did your boy wrong.
It was your boy that did himself dirty with a forearm hit behind the ref’s back, like no else was watching…except EVERYONE else was watching, lol.
But that’s ok, he can salvage this. They’re going to be making $15 an hour at McDonald’s, right?
Thug life, yo.
If you could you super size that for me, that’d be greeeaaatttt. Yeah.
The apple doesn’t “Rot” far from the tree.
The “apple” shouldn’t swing too far from the tree!
