Go-rilla Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 SAD. Kid (17 years old). Works hard,plays hard,endures offseason and summer workouts that most kids cant imagine. Goes on social media and uses a phrase that can be heard 1000 times a day in most High School hallways, and now he gotta sit out. I hope other teenagers realize that this probably could have happened to 10000 other players if we really looked at what is being put out there.

One or the other. Expand I would suggest you visit the Equal Justice Initiative, aka the Hanging Museum, in Montgomery, Alabama. That is a horrible word that white people have forever forfeited the right to use. It's about a days drive and will leave you in tears. As for black people, some of us have turned it into a word of endearment and others would bury it. I go back and forth on it every day and have educated my children why it's not a good word but I understand why we as a group use it amongst each other. I can't call my lady' friends the b word but she can. I have no problem with that. Taneshi Coates said it better than I could, that ain't y'all's word and y'all can't tell us what to do with it.

Bulldogs92 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 I'm white, but very sensitive to the use of the word because of what Jasper has gone through as a result of the behavior of racists. I wish this kind of stuff would stop, but it just seems to get worse with society being the way it is lately. Common decency and respect are becoming lost concepts to a lot of us.
