exactly. words are cheap and don't mean shite to me. call me a honkey or whatever your worst insult can be. I will move on with my life and let the chips fall where they may.
I'm sick of this idea that saying racist or offensive words is the absolute unforgivable sin. So What. Rise above it.

Seriously. Don't call me a honkey

What sucks is that you don't go on trial for racial slurs, yet you are convicted to a life sentence as a racist by the media.. with little to no chance of exoneration.

This nation has regressed. He said the N-word. This is not news worthy.
You are right. Using a word is not newsworthy.
I am right: making a violent threat against a person of authority while using racial language is newsworthy.

Here's a question for you, what should happen to NFL players who use gay slurs on the actual field of play?

I agree that he's an idiot for his behavior.. but the backlash of his comments is more than he should endure.
Chris Culliver got to keep his job after making homophobic comments to the media.
I realize that this was in a violent context, and that there are far more black players in the NFL than there are gay (assuming), so if that's the reasoning for the excessive amount of coverage, I can at least see that side of the argument. I still don't necessarily agree, however.

As long as blacks use the word in daily conversation referring to each other, I cannot take matters such as Cooper's seriously.
Shame on ESPN for making this national news that won't go away.

When Kobe said Gay or fig or whatever (which doesn't bother me at all) he had to apologize but no one would have ever said "he's gonna lose his job over it"

quote:That doesn't matter. What Kobe did and what Cooper did are not the same, regardless of the histories of blacks and whites and gays. One of the reasons I would never have jumped on Paula Deen or Dog the Bounty Hunter for their "N's" is because the contexts of the things they said were harmless. Considering the context of what Cooper said, it was a threat of violence in a public gathering, even without "****." The context of what Cooper said couldn't have been worse. Therefore, frick him.

This isn't about rectifying an injustice and equality . It's about power - and you can't achieve it without a continued division of race, religion and financial worth.

Paula Deen? Harmless.
Dog? Harmless.
White guy saying "You my ****, dawg."? Harmless.
Cooper saying "I will jump that fence and fight every **** here."? Violent racial threat.

Honest question, I have only followed this story on here...
How many "n*****" were over that fence? Wasn't this a Kenny Chesney concert? My only guess is that maybe the security guard was black.

This x10000
The double standard is what I can't stand.
And what made the N-word more unspeakable by a white to black, than a black calling a white Honkey or cracka?
Each are negative words given to one race by another race to degrade them. Why is the one so much worse?
