re: What did LSU tweet that some players are complaining about?

It is racist for any person who is not black to say the N word.

There are racial slurs for all races that if you say it and you are not a member of that race, it is racist. We all know slurs for Asians, Hispanics. Hell, you can even say calling a white guy a "cracker" is racist.

The whole notion of "well black people say it" is wrongheaded. Lots of marginalized groups reclaim language as a means of subverting its power. By reclaiming this word, they flipped it on its head and used it as a tool of camaraderie to the point where the word lost its power over them. Another example is the "F word" in the gay community.

If you cannot comprehend this, I don't know what to tell you.
