When Harrison says it in the locker room to one of his teammates as in you my n**** then no one should have a problem with it. But when you are talking about another player who hasn't been in his locker room and with the connotations that went with it then yeah it is racist.

He shouldn't get a pass just because he is African American. And as far as Kaminsky goes he is just trying to be the bigger man. What do you expect him to say that he thinks Harrison should be expelled from school and never allowed to play in the NBA, then he looks just looks bad also.

If Wisconsin had lost and Kaminsky had said this about Harrison and then apologized do you think Jesse and Al and every other pot stirrer out there would just let this go. Hell No and everyone who is trying to defend Harrison knows this.

So if he says it to a white person he knows then it isn't racist, but if he says to a white person he doesn't know, then all of a sudden it is? How does that make any sense???

He's not. Saying frick on national tv should put him in hot water, regardless of race.

Kaminsky is not offended. No one on the Wisconsin team is. Harrison didn't hurt or embarrass Kaminsky in any way.

If Kaminsky had racial undertones behind the usage of the word then of course. Also if HARRISON had used a word with racial undertones meant to demean Kaminsky then he should be punished as well. But since neither thing actually happened, and no said that they were offended (it's not like Kaminsky was pressured to not say anything) then this is a non issue.

apples and oranges

I've been called a ****a by many black friends before. "Wassup my ****a" has been said to me tons of times and not once did the thought of my black friends who said this being racist cross my mind. You guys are so ignorant to the context of the phrase it's unbelievable
