CFB Cale Gundy resigns at Oklahoma after using the N word in a team meeting

Advertisement
1st of all, I don't think he should have had to resign ...BUT I do think he made a very very stupid choice to read what was written verbatim and deserved some kind of a reprimand.

Don't know about the rest of you BUT ever since I was a child, I've always processed the words I was reading BEFORE making the choice of saying them out loud. Maybe it's different for some others, regardless, it just wasn't necessary for him to say it.

IF he wanted to embarrass the player make him read it out loud

OR

Say look at what this idiot was writing and pass it around the room. ( Unless it's really true that most of their players can't read )

Whoa amigo. Hold up on the negative connotations. Bums are people too. Some bums can focus with the best of them.

On top of it, you used the word “bum” with the word “***” to describe “kid” but in England “bum” means “***” as in buttocks. Not sure if you were intending to use “bum” like “***” but clearly defining your intent would better serve everyone. And of course, no offense intended by my little factoid - we are simpatico compadre.







Woohoo! British slang down to a science!
 
I'm guessing it wasn't really an accident as claimed, and probably became a thing after the meeting when someone expressed displeasure.

How sad that grown men behave this way. There's a word some people can say and others can't? This word can be said with permission in certain circumstances by certain people? How bout we all grow up and everybody can say it or nobody can say it? Seems fair and cuts out all the bull****. I don't see anybody crying about any other racial slurs.

Au contraire mon fraire. The dragging must be inclusive of all. White posters would like to share in the dragging as well. Provided that it’s done in a manner where the “Dragee” feels a part of it the same as everyone else. Dragging is a serious matter requiring serious solutions.
 
Lol boy y'all acting like SuperSaveAhHoe on here. FVCK HIM. How he try to get on a kid for not paying attention but yet..... He couldn't even pay attention to the words he was reading...lol He did what he did. Said what he said. Y'all cry too much man.

Lol! Gotta love middle America line of thinking. I honestly believe most of the players, media, and boosters were pretty much okay with him saying the N word. Probably shrugged their shoulders. Glad Venables was the adult in the room and said that **** can’t fly here anymore.

Let me share my thoughts and personal experiences to provide some context.

People use that word all the time. They just don't do it in public or around brown people most of the time.

I grew up in Iowa which at the time was 2% African American and now it's 4%.

So, I've been accustomed to being the only person of color in many group settings. Countless times I would hear that word come out of the mouths of my Caucasian peers.

They were so comfortable with me that my race was somewhat invisible to them. Not the color of my skin, but rather how I carried myself. They were talking and then it it would slip out. They'd turn red struggling to find their words. After saying "n****", they'd say, "Oh, I wasn't talking about you. You're different." As if that was somehow comforting to me. It wasn't and I'm not any different.

African American Enslavement, Speech Act Theory, and the Law - Journal of African American Studies

In the context of African American enslavement and the legacy of that enslavement, do some uses of the word “******” possess the power to enslave? It goes without saying that the words “*****,” “******,” “colored,” and “black” are an important part of the language and discourse of African...

It would always end in an apology. I would look them in their eyes and tell them don't apologize for something you do at home or when I'm not around. This is just who you are.

My personal perspective is I don't use or accept it from anyone regardless of their ethnicity.

However, I do understand and know the distinction of when it's used in a derogatory manner and when it's not.

The reason it's unacceptable for Caucasians is because they created the word. Born out of slavery with all the hatred, bigotry, and psychological exploitation that branded itself to it.

It is a word they can never take back and made inoffensive. NOT EVER. They don't get to change history on this one.

It's not much difference for Native Ameeican Indians. I can't imagine how it must feel to have another race try to exterminate you and then a hundred years later they assimilate the culture into the mainstream making it their own with a perversive exploitation of Redskins and tomahawk chops all the while softly painting over the hundreds of years of genocide.

The Native Indian experience is synonymous to the Black experience in many ways. In describing how their exploitation into mainstream culture paints over the hundreds of years of genocidal treatment. In my opinion, Black people are doing the same thing by repurposing the word. It paints over the history of the word and what is attached to it. It makes it feel like it was just something black/brown skinned people were called. It removes the entire context of the psychological trauma of slavery. Perhaps that's why black people use the word for a different meaning. Maybe to remove the psychological trauma, but it still exists. Otherwise, people wouldn't be upset when White people say it.

As reprehensible as that word is, does same apply to players and other staff and any music lyrics they play in public?

You're going to "drag" me because I don't think people should use that term. Makes a lot of sense. You sound like a really cool guy.
