After Wisconsin beat undefeated Kentucky last night, while at the interview desk, a Kentucky player (Andrew Harrison, who is black) was asked a question about trying to guard Wisconsin's best player, Frank Kaminsky (who is a white Jew).

Harrison, not realizing how sensitive the microphone was, muttered "Fuck that n***a". The first few reports about this story said the exact wording of the phrase wasn't clear, but Harrison has since publicly apologized for his "poor choice of words".

If the roles in this situation were reversed, and the white Jew had said "Fuck that n***a" at a national news conference, the whole USA would be spewing all kinds of hate and maybe even bricks at him. Barack Obama, Eric Holder, and Al Sharpton would be calling for an investigation. But the black kid pretty much gets a pass here.

Racism is ugly, no matter who exhibits it. That's something that hasn't quite caught on yet in our evolution as a nation.

A pass!!! Really!!!, obviously it has offended some people, hence why it is a news story. Obama will probably say it was a ignorant thing to say, just like he did for Donald Sterling. You claim there would be outrage if the roles where reversed, well there's your situation reversed, how did he handle the DS incident, like a professional, like a boss, like a president. Get a life.

Yes, the kid is getting a pass.

If the white Jew kid had called the black kid a racist name, he would be singled out by the NCAA. He would have been suspended by the NCAA and/or Wisconsin. He would be required to complete sensitivity training and anger management classes. And he would always be remembered for it.
 
he meant it like "dude". The context makes that obvious. That's why this isn't news.

When the word can't even be spelled with all its letters in national news stories, does the kid deserve a pass for saying it out loud for all the microphones to record?

So if I called our president a nigga and said I meant it like "bro", would I deserve a free pass? Hell no.
 
Why is this even in politics?
Its was called NEWS and politics, not just politics. So that's why. They changed the title, but the people still see it as a news and politics site. Sometimes you just can't change people by changing a title.

Than why didn't you mention the NCAA in your original post!!!!! Why is it you thought it be the job of the president and a couple other black males to reprimand this student athlete? Do you really hate the president that much that you would actually make up duties you thought the president should be handling just to paint him in a bad light? You are sad sad racist boy.

How do YOU think the president should handled this???
 
who is getting a pass? He's apologized and it made ESPN. It wasn't even racist. Like said above if he called him a kike that would be racist. As used in this context it just means guy.

OK, so now "nigga" means "guy".

But when does "nigga" mean "nigga"?

Does it really just depend upon who said it?

I never said the president should go after this kid.

Compared to what would have happened if the white Jew kid had called the black kid a "nigga", or even a "Chink" for that matter, the kid did indeed get a free pass.
 
Yes, but the vocabulary of some of these basketball players includes only about 200 words and their variants...
Really you racist twat?? College students only have a vocabulary of 200 words?? Are you stupid or something? Do you say that because a vast majority of male college basketball player are african american, and you believe AA are incapable of having a large vocabulary? You Tool.

I said it because it's pretty much true. Scholarship college athletes are pretty dumb in general. No matter their race.

They've been given passing grades all their lives because they were so good at sports. Their academic achievements have been few.

And I am no racist. And you are the twat here.
