Politically Correct Hypocrisy taught at college campuses?

Is this sinking in? Words have more than one meaning and they can be offensive in one and NOT offensive in another. It's a fact. Often their context provides assumptions as to the meaning

You are finally understanding this better. Yes, his meaning was derogatory. He was mad and used those words to belittle the person he blamed for his loss.

That is why he apologized for saying it. If he had been complimenting him he would have just said so.

I am finally understanding? I said in my very first post that context was key.

NO, the use of the "N" word was not derogatory. He apologized because white-breds get all bent out of shape about the word in any context.

you're the one missing the boat. not me.

As an FYI to those who may be wondering why this thread is still on the main board. It's the off season and the OUHoops staff made the decision to allow it to continue, as long as posters keep it real and avoid name calling and inappropriate language. If the season was still in progress, it would have been moved to the Smack Talk board long ago. And, in time it will be anyway. It's just not time to do it right now.

He was being a poor sport and a crybaby, was called out on it, and has rightfully apologized.


As for the word in question, context is everything. It would be better for everyone involved if the word just went away, but that's not happening. The distinction between "a" and the hard r is an important one, whether people want to admit it or not.

In this thread we learn that coolm can't read..

So it's okay if I (a white man) says it with the "a"? Directed at a black person?

That would go over about as well as a turd in a punch bowl.

Who will in this fight on the internet? The White-Breds or the White-Guilters?

The reason he actually apologized is the fact the TV network this was airing on could be fined up to 1,000 dollars per screen because of the f*** word. The other word I could care less. Would never say it but to each there own. The F*** word on non pay per view channels is a major NO NO to the FCC. Without an apology and admit of guilt from the player the network and NCAA could have been in a lot of financial trouble.

And technically still could. But with apology they have tended to let that go.

Since there are obtuse people taking what Harrison literally does that mean you actually think he wants to have sex with Kaminsky?

I'm going to guess that you took the drunk frat guys words seriously. That you think they were really going to grab their rope and that there would never be a black person is sae.

Oh wait we are only suppose to take things literally when it is something you disagree with

How many current black members of SAE were there at OU? Nationally? Have black people been denied access to social clubs that would improve their standing in society?

Have black basketball players on losing teams had sex with the white players who won after the game?

Setting aside the racism discussion, I do think that this UK team's sense of entitlement showed through. They had never lost and seem to have never learned how to lose with grace.

How many white people are in the black only fraternities? How many white women have competed in Miss Black America?

I'm confused. Do you want us to take things literally or not?
B/c in one case you say we shouldn't. In another we should.

CoolM yes the word has multiple meanings and context matters. Harrison wasn't referring to his skin color. However he said it with all the other meanings of the word that people hate. By adding the verb in front of it he was certainly driving the point home!

Also he was expressing direct hate towards an individual. This isn't acceptable.

I wouldn't call it hate, but CERTAINLY unwarranted disdain.

it is NOT "either it is or it isn't". Geeeeez.

once again ... when used to refer to specific IMMUTABLE traits (ones that you have no choice in) such as race or color or culture then it is viewed as bad because it is implying that said traits are bad and anyone possessing them is bad.

When used in it's OTHER meaning ... as a general reference to an acquaintance or association ... then it's NOT offensive.

Is this sinking in? Words have more than one meaning and they can be offensive in one and NOT offensive in another. It's a fact. Often their context provides assumptions as to the meaning - like saying "b!tch" at dog show or, unfortunately, a white person using the N word to refer to a black person. He may very well be intending not to mean it that way but due to people who dont comprehend the idea of multiple meanings the assumption falls against him.

Lol....

You see, smart people take something literal when there is overwhelming historical evidence of it existence.

Smart people can recognize a figure of speech.

The people who try to equate the two are not serious people. They are riding around in the clown car.
