I love how high and mighty these people (in media and NFL) who are offended are. If you are offended by that kind of language from boys in the locker room, then you are in the wrong profession.

I also love how the Eagles are going to send him to 'pray the racist away" camp. Sensitivity training??? LMAO. So are they doing that for every player who says '****er" or 'Cracker" or "pillowbitergot". Every player in tROFLhe league would be 'Sensitivity training".

Those players need to realize they **** up and say stupid racist, bigoted shit too, just like he did, and to give him some slack.

That's another interesting thing - you have guys that have slapped women around, guys with multiple felonies, there's been guys that have killed people in DUIs and a host of other stuff, and they stay on rosters. But apparently being racist is worse. You hear people say he should basically lose his job.

Riley Cooper isn't even a racist. I find it hard to believe that a guy who plays in a sport dominated by black men is a racist.

He got drunk and said something stupid out of anger. That's it. Nothing more.

Defintely not what I expected. I considered that between Jemele Hill, and Whitlock, they would of been painting this guy as the Anti Christ.

Impressive article, is impressive JWhit. Myself, a Caucasian who grew up in the hood in North Carolina, who spent many days running home from the bus stop because I was white, especially during the Rodney King riots, I have very little understanding of this. One day when playing pick up football in my neighborhood, after being called a cracker, honky, whitey all day long, laid out a guy on a pass play, and said something to the affect of, "keep your black ass down." 7 boys none white, beat my ass down. After all day of being called every white derogatory name in the book, I was stunned by this, and then I realized that race, and using anything racial just isn't called for under any circumstance.

I fought in two deployments, with Mexicans, Whites, Blacks, Hmongs, Asians, and honestly, race doesn't bother me.

What does bother me though, is late at night, when I am watching tv, and I see an add for blackpeople.com


Can you imagine a web site if it was called White people.com? Could you imagine the BACKLASH that would cause? The god father of my son, and my best friend is black, the first girl I ever had sex with, black, I have dated Mexican, white, black, Asian, and I have made derogatory remarks towards a person and included a racial tone to it. I have used derogatory remarks, all the time on COD, it slips out like a second language. "you are such a f##," on more than one occasion.

Im not homophobic, as most of the time, with my group that I run with, we have a gay guy on our team. Doesn't bother me. just something to say.

One time when Vince Carter was playing against the Timberwolves, and Wally Szerbiack (sp) was guarding him. Vince looked at the Timberwolves bench, and said, "If you leave this white boy on me, ill score 40." Its all unneeded bullshit. And I hate it. I hate it that we hold on to these racial tensions relentlessly, and make national stories out of this.


On twitter yesterday, I said in Jest, "when are the pounceys gonna be seen with their Free Riley Cooper hats."

There are people, who actually would defend Aaron Hernandez, but we crucify a racial slur as if it was murder. We as a society, need to get our priorities in order.

I liked Whitlock's article up and to the point where he equates sexual preferance with race. You can't choose your race. You can absolutely choose who and how you have sex.

I don't condone the use of that word, ever, but this shit has completely gotten out of hand.

Michael Vick killed dogs. Donte Stallworth killed a human being. Both played in the NFL afterward and neither were a distraction in the locker room.

Killers. Felons. Not a distraction.

But a drunk guy says the "N" word and he's on the verge of losing his job, forever, because he's now labeled a "distraction"? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

:rolleyes:

Riley's biggest mistake was saying "n****r" instead of "n***a". If he had said "n***a", it would have all been "okay", which makes this situation absolutely absurd.

Same goes for T.V. Totally acceptable for there to be a "BET", but imagine if some network tried to make a "WET"....all ****ing hell would break loose.

"White Entertainment Television? They only focus on white artists and white current events? RACIST"
