High School QB Recruit Gets Scholly Pulled for using N Word

[Family Man]

Breh no offense but this is a dumb ass question. The cac QB posted the video of him rapping the n word online. People saw it and the effect was they felt disrespected enough to complain to the school about it. So the school revoked his scholarship.

I got you. I see where you're coming from.
So basically no one would be offended if a black player had done the same so there wouldn't be a reason to take action against the black player.

Good. fukk em

My point is that Black people like to make a distinction between n*gger and n*gga. One, a racial epithet, the other a term of endearment. The person in the OP used the n*gga variant. Either the words are different, or they mean the same thing, you can't have it both ways.

You’re aware that black people in general do not give a fukk when it comes to white people using the word. It’s disrespect regardless of which variation they use. You can’t determine what should be viewed as acceptable or not to us (black people as a group) based off your individual feelings.

What? It's a case about so-called reverse discrimination, which is what you're whining about all over this thread.

it's a case about discrimination. The Plantiff claimed he was fired for using a word that Black employees use freely. The defense argued that he was fired for cause because of the negative publicity he ostensibly created, the same publicity that was a result of an internal leak, likely by the defendant that was never investigated. Dude was railroaded.

On July 12, 2007, Mike Renda, Ameena Ali, and Phil Metlin met with Plaintiff and informed him that he would not be put back on the air, and that his contract would not be renewed when it expired. (Pl.'s Dep. 244:23–245:6.) Renda testified that the Station could have fired Plaintiff for cause, stating that the adverse publicity resulting from Plaintiff's behavior violated the clause in Plaintiff's contract that prevented him from engaging in “any activity that may result in adverse publicity or notoriety for performer or company.

Mike Renda testified that if he learned of a Station employee leaking this story to the press, the employee most likely would have been terminated. (Renda Dep. 77:10–78:24.) The Station did not conduct an investigation to determine whether one of its employees had leaked the story to the media. (Renda Dep. 85:4–10.)

If the words are different, one disrespectful and a racial epithet and the other being a term of endearment, what specifically makes the use of the non-epithet variant disrespectful?

Y’all kno how football nikkas be too

Now juxtaposition this with how THEM FOLKS been moving for a whole month
Painting anybody that says anything disparaging about them as the enemy
Now if only black people practiced and applied the same amount of pressure and smoke
Instead we get Mattfakkit04 responses and whataboutisms
At this point everybody knows our hand
We talk and do a bunch of jaw jackin online
Then throw a cape saying ”these people ain’t that bad or racist”
Next he will have a black pastor standing next to him and just like that all is forgiven
Tell me I’m lying
I’ll wait

Given the context. I think we as a community have bigger fish to fry but that’s my personal opinion. Punishing him for singing a song to the tune of scholarship loss is excessive in my book.

That said , i can also see the flip side of this and how it could upset others and I’m not minimizing that. No wins or losses here.

Because you’re leaving out the part where we say nikka is a term of endearment that we use amongst each other. Just because one variation of the word is a term of endearment to us doesn’t mean outside groups can use it and expect no backlash. Like Mexicans and South Americans calling each other wetbacks. I grew up round plenty of em. It’s cool within their group. They’d attack someone else for saying it.

Wetback is a racial epithet just like n*gger is. The argument is that n*gger and n*gga are not the same but it would seem like you're arguing that both n*gger and n*gga are racial epithets.

Its fascinating how these dudes be really defending this shyt. Like who cares if this crakkka lost his scholarship.

Sure he may not be a racist. Just a dumb kid. But he is collateral damage. And thats fine.

How many cases of black and brown ppl being collateral damage at the hands of white ppl? shyt we cant even get them to accept the shyt they do to us intentionally. Much less the shyt they unintentionally do.

fukk them and him.

You’re not this dumb. That is exactly what I’m arguing when its used outside of the black community. You’re holding on to the different variations of the word argument as if it matters when it doesn’t.

I actually agree, in fact I don't think there's really a difference between the two words other than the spelling which can be attributed to people with different accents saying the same word. n*gga === n*gger

 

[Bar Razor]

I mean, people can celebrate him losing his scholarship but as someone who doesn't like the n word period no matter who is saying it, white people, Asian people, Arab people Latinos etc. are all saying it, rapping along to it at concerts etc. The only chance they will stop is when black people make it taboo to use it, by not using it themselves and making it known that they don't accept its use (you know, like how other groups don't use racial slurs about other groups casually because it's been made "cool").

This will not happen though.
