Well not exactly. As stated there are dialects of the word that some or maybe even most African Americans have embraced "ni$$ga" as buddy, dude, or friend. I don't like it and I don't embrace it. I would not prevent myself from watching a comedian or a movie because of it. It is in our culture and history black and white. In fact, in a lot of Quinton Tarantino movies he uses the word "ni$$er" hundreds of times in his movies. He's acknowledging it's existence and use in our society thru the characters he portrayed in his movies. For the record, Pulp Fiction, Django, and The Hateful Eight are 3 of my favorite Tarantino movies. Tarantino's been ridiculed for his use of the word, but he has a way of purpose with its use. It kind of like watching Alex Haley's "Roots." The tv series would not be realistic without the use of the word.So I’m guessing you don’t listen to rap, R&B except the older good stuff and you definitely avoid black comedy standup. I applaud you for your values. As a white person, there are a few things that **** me off when it comes to this. The first is having cracker thrown around at or around me as if it isn’t derogatory in any way or there is an entitlement to do so. Another big one is what you wrote about. Both forms of the word are used millions of times every single day including at white people but when a white person says it the world stops turning. It’s either racist and derogatory or it isn’t. It can’t be both. To say this is a word I can say but you can’t because the color of your skin is different is the very definition of racism.

I think the polite way of saying that is triggas.That's the point, we need to figure out what are the NCAA's triggers.
So they're saying it hasn't been submitted yet? I don't believe that.This dude has no clue about Martell and if he gets cleared. He’s guessing. I saw TOS say papers in process to being submitted to the ncaa.

Players sign a one year contract /scholarship if they do not perform they get weeded out .Coaches change jobs constantly .Why should players not have the same options.The argument that the floodgates would open is akin to if you free one slave you have to free the rest.Yes the players are not indentured servants nor do they have 4 year contracts.The NCAA rules should be changed to protect the student athletes who provide huge money to the universities and the NCAA.
If this is indeed true news and not some prognosticator trying to become Nostradamus then I’ll be one happy **** ****. That would be massive news for the team and the program. I just don’t see the NCAA being A. Nice to Miami or B. Allowing the floodgates to open up for college free agency.
Me thinks you're a troll or an alt accountOf course it’s been submitted. He’s QB1 on 8/31

So, I'm not offended when in Pulp Fiction, Marsellus Wallace says to Butch, "Are you my ni$$ga?" because it was appropriate for the character. It doesn't mean I like his character. It just means it fit the character. But, I was offended years ago when a friend said to me "what's up my ni$$ga" in the middle of a packed gym. I told him I'm nobody's ni$$ga and don't ever say that to me again. And he hasn't. It didn't matter where he said it. My response would be the same. So, I understand the culture and history. I just don't identify myself with it. I wish it would die, but it won't.
