At no point. Unless you are ok with being a hypocrite.
Stereotyping young black males and stereotyping old white males are essentially the same thing. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Even if those stereotypes are “accurate” in your mind.
Guys, I am not saying this topic is not allowed to be discussed but it has zero to do with UF so this kind of discussion needs to go in the Locker Room not The Swamp. I am moving this thread now...
Get over a racial slur in a world that racism is more evident than ever… Godspeed
Actually its my generation of black people that started to use the word in public
1. No one would consider me "young"
2. Just like using a term like "negro" is more about the connotation & context its used in rather than just whether or not the term is used
3. None of us know what exactly occurred but does it seem a little farfetched that OU just fired their OC for reading out loud a word on a football player's iPad?
You would probably have a stroke if you heard me karaoke Nelly's Country Grammar. haha
Lol, I remember when we explained the lyrics to the chorus of that song to our teacher. She was so stunned.
"racism is more evident than ever"...is it?
and I don't agree that someone should say "get over it" when referring to a racial slur, but I also don't believe racism is more pronounced that ever, it might be more "evident" because racism is thrown around a lot today when it might be racism, and it might not.
Did he racially slur someone? I don't use that word, but I've read writings with that word & have watched movies for entertainment with that word thrown out ad nauseam for no real reason, but again if he was reading from an iPad and in the course of reading what was on it, leads to him needing to resign or be fired after 24 yrs of working with people of all ethnicities? Hmm, ok, yeah we won't see it the same for sure, Godspeed to you as well though.
And at what point does laying the sins of the great-grandfathers, grandfathers & fathers upon the sons & grandsons end?
If the word's that bad - and it is - maybe NO ONE should use it.
By "get over it" I mean the nonsense. I'm not for anyone using racist slurs directed to or referring to someone no matter what. Apparently, it was announced that he read whatever a player was writing, distracting him from paying attention. As he read it exposing what was "more important" than paying attention, he said a word.
Fired/Resigned, whatever, it's nonsense. To me, they weren't his words, he was exposing what the "teammate'" viewed as more important than paying attention.
He should definitely apologize as reading through that and saying it, I'd just look at the kid and say grow up & pay attention! Unless this is an ongoing history with this guy, I'll say it again, nonsense.
If racisms wasn't still a thing then I agree. But racism and anti-Semitism is the highest its been in 12 years (as of 2021) according to the FBI and DOJ. Almost like some guy made it ok to say the quiet part outload.
There's your problem, pay attention closely to the FBI & doj & you'll realize the agencies that aren't supposed to be politicized, have so become. The military isn't far behind, like I said pay attention, you'll see how it goes.
Do like my former school teacher did. Make the student read it out loud themselves. Love notes or whatever we were writing.
My coach always jumped my azz for doodling in the playbook until he realized that is what made me focus more. ADHD was highly undocumented then or wasn't accepted.
"Do like my former school teacher did. Make the student read it out loud themselves. Love notes or whatever we were writing."
Great point. Also, the ADHD statement is true, many got swatted across the head for it back in the day!
its a think, and it alwasy will be, for all races and creeds. i have no idea how you can measue such a thing with any accuracy though!!
