BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU is responding after a women's tennis player was caught on video using a racial slur.

The student, Madison Scharfenstein of Slidell, is a walk-on on LSU's tennis team. The video showed Scharfenstein using the slur and then subsequently laughing about it in a follow up video.

LSU released a statement Saturday afternoon, condemning the incident: "We are aware of the social media post concerning one of our student-athletes, and we are taking immediate and deliberate steps to address it... We will not condone behavior that is in violation of our core values and expectations of student conduct."




Here's the Scharfenstein video where she's recorded saying "come in n***a"


Meanwhile in today's Citrus Bowl, a hot mic caught Sage Ryan calling an injured player a "bitch arse n***a."

No public statement from LSU. No comments about behavior that violates core values and expectations of student conduct. No word on opening an investigation.

What gives? Does LSU apply disciplinary rules differently based on a students race?

Something something it isn’t racist to dictate who can say or do something based on the color of their skin.

But only when it comes to this.

It would be interesting to see these two incidents juxtaposed in court. Wonder if the tennis player has any legal angle to leverage now.

We have de facto blasphemy laws in the 21st century. But it's not God you have to speak about reverently, it's black people.

LSU needs to be pushed on this issue, but we know they won’t.
It should be unacceptable by everyone.

Sharfenstein is white and is therefore the aggressor and wrong.

Ryan is not white and therefore a victim in this case.

- racial inequality standards of CRT

The difference between the two incidents is that Scharfenstein’s use of the word was far, far, FAR less egregious

Which lib will be first to chime in and explain the cultural differences as to why one person can use the term in an aggressive manner and the other can't use it at all?

Any white person who says any variation of the “N” word is either (1) ignorant (2) racist or (3) both

Any person who “can’t understand” the difference btwn a white person using the “N” word and a Black person using that word ….it’s being overtly obtuse


There I said it

LSU Athletics has become a left wing political entity under Woodward. What do you expect?

Two black guys calling each other the N word is nothing. It has nothing to do with anything important and everyone needs to stfu and leave it tf alone.

I was at the hangout when a rapper (Kendrick Lamar maybe?) when he pulled an overweight white 20-something girl onstage to sing his song. She says the n-word he wrote for the song. He stops the music and chastises her onstage. Most bizarre, humiliating thing I’ve ever seen on a stage out of the hundreds of shows I’ve attended.

The N word is just like guns...

A white person uses a gun we have a gun problem.

a black person uses a gun we have a poverty, education and inequity problem.



I want to hear if LSU address' both people using the same word.
