In division I college football, 55% of the participants are black. So blacks would have a slightly higher percentage of getting caught using a racial slur.

Not that it matters much.

**** if I were playing in college today, I couldn't play. I would get double teched in the first ten minutes. Probably get kicked off the team for telling an opponent, "You can't guard me holmes. This is where the big boys play."

Ya, but the student that got expelled wasn't even a football player so we would base it off total college students not off football players.

***** ***** ***** Im 200% *****.

I dont say it because its offensive. I say it because I really don't care who says it.

Are we as a society so fragile that we collectively seize up because of a word, that originally came from the spanish word '*****', which means black?

****, in my day, saying 'colored people' was considered racist, now you have folks saying, 'people of color', and thats okay?

WHAT THE **** SENSE DOES THAT MAKE?

I have quite a few ****** friends that would knock someone out if they called them the K word. This is not a millennial thing. Wars in were started over words as far back as civilization in the fertile crescent.

Depends on how its said. I'm so backwards on this stuff I'm not sure what even K word is. ****? I'm assuming? I just remembered that from the movie American Gangster. xD

Heres an example of the double standard on racial language:

Guinea
Cooley
***
Greaseball
****
******
Heeb
****
Cracker
Slant-eye
Zipperhead
Dago
****** (n-word)

I mean there is 250 million white people in America and 40 million blacks. Statistically more white people will get in trouble for using a racial slur then black people purely because their is more than 6x the amount of them. In this climate if you use a racial slur you will get kicked off the team. I know of black people who have been fired from their jobs for using slurs. Also, really forget about the c word. Imagine if a player called a white ****** person the K word? That player would be expelled immediately. The K word is a lot more similar to the N word then it is to the C word.

I have never found the C word offensive, my black friends used it all the time around me, honestly I laughed like **** because they didn't use it to hurt me. I think they probably used it to make me laugh. I do find the N word offensive though because I know how much it hurts some people. I know where it came from and the horrific past in our country. I frigon cringe whenever I hear someone use it. That Miami fan was over the top. There could have been kids around, black, white, or Latino, they are going to repeat that word one day. That's one I wish we could let go.

Yes that is the one and it is equally as bad as the N word. If you used it in any work environment be it football or a regular job you will be fired. That is because you chose to censor the word. I don't use any of them. You said it a few posts up. It really isn't a double standard. Any workplace that would fire you for using the N word would also fire you for using any of the other words.

The C word still is a racial slur. If they used it in a work environment I doubt HR would think it was funny.
 
^About where I'm at on it.

No sir, I said *****, in order to bypass the censor for the word ******.

I see what you are saying. You are saying the website censors the word? For one you can't censor the C word because of its double meaning. That is probably because it is the most commonly used slur so they censored it. I am sure if the other slurs started to gain traction and were used for frequently they would be censored as well.
 
Those slurs have been around for a long time and been used for a long time.

And will continue to do so.

Racism exists. Racism will always exist. Racism is typically based in ignorant behavior, and unfortunately, there will never be a shortage of ignorant people.

In all races.

Of course. That doesn't mean players should not be suspended for hurling them at their teammates.

Exactly what has he done that’s tangible in Iran, North Korea other than tweet and have photo ops..last I read there’s high evidence that NK is still working on their nuclear program. We need China to do more there but trump won’t say/do nothing strong against China..and Iran? Really? All he did was overturn what Obama got done out of spite..HE HAS LITERALLY SIGNED NO DEAL WITH IRAN..no matter how much he tweets about it

Come on now, stop watching CNN. They were shooting rockets over south Korea and Japan. He has the worse sanctions on NK in history. He's crippling their economy until they start getting rid of them. Trump has people talking to them all the time now, we are having open conversations instead of what has been going of for 40 years. NK is talking to S Korea all the time now, first time in what 30 plus years? Give credit where credit is due. This won't get done over night but bariers are being taken down. Pompeo spelling? is meeting Kim as we speak trying to make deals with NK. Trump will be talking to him again soon too.

Doing nothing against China, are you kidding me. We have over 250 billion in tariffs on their products coming into this country. He's got China and Russia to add to the sanctions many months ago, first time for any president that I know of. We shouldn't even be trading with communist China, Trump knows it but there is little he can do. This is going to turn into a massive mess, but it has to be done. It's going to get much worse from here with China, the have bee ripping us off with Technology and trade for too long now.

That Iran deal let's the door open for Iran in about 8-10 years from now for nukes. They also are all over Seria now, they never stopped with their terrorist BS. Obama made it much worse by giving them their 150 billion back, they bought all kinds or rockets from Russia. Now Trump is putting the worse ever sanctions on them in Nov. Listen Obama was a clueless *******, again I'm bashing his white side so I dont' offend. Obama also gave Iran 1.5 billion in cash, look it up. Iran took pics of it to throw it in Obama's face. Obama was just too **** weak, look what Iran did to our American soldiers. Again bashing his white half. Iran will come to the table in another year or it's people will turn on them. Trump is tougher on the bad countries than any other president in history.

You really have to find another new outlet, the liberal news hates Trump you'll never get the truth there.

I think the kid went over the top or he'd still be there. Sounded to me like he was out of control. I hate to see any kid kicked off a team, sometimes it's warranted.

By any chance, do u think your brainwashed by Fox News ?? Or your sources from your own “research” Your basically peddaling one side of the argument..your 100% sure your view is correct ? And FYI cnn and msnbc did cover the new trade deal. They aired it
Click to expand...

A very small time they talked about it. Then they just went back to bashing Trump. Can you imagine if they did that to Obama day and night? You tell me what I have said that isn't true and I'll prove it? I don't peddle BS, I hate liars or being lied too. We can go over any view you'd like, I'll back it up without fox news.

Imagine if some baseball player as Miss St. called Michael Sam a ******? The kid would be booted in an instant. Or if a UCLA Male Volleyball player called Josh Rosen the K word? He would be booted in a second as well. But lets be honest. If Berios said the N word last year and the players didn't really care and it wasn't damaging the locker room at all I would be all for covering it up and not letting it get out to the public, but I am also the type of guy that would love to see Richt cover up all of our players marijuana offenses, cutting class, assaults, etc. in order to have the top players in at all times.

He did. People told him to stop saying it and he refused then a cop came over and told him to stop and again he kept saying it. The officer actually ended up standing next to him for the entire game due to the incident.

No excuse for something like that! JMO
 
Got to go to bed. Glad they didn't delete this thread. I think there might have been a little progress here, even if it's 1% I'll take it. All Americans are my brothers that's just the way I look at it. I'd defend anyone who was getting abused, just who I am. Good night guys thanks for the conversation. Can't wait till Saturday.

Not surprising. UGA wasn't going to let him stay and get the rep for protecting a racist fxck. But yet kids are still going to go to the schools in the deep south and get called the N-word.

There is no "deep south" anymore
