Well let's see... one father on an internet radio compares to this...

Recent flaps over racially offensive language at the University of Alabama fit a pattern that’s dogged the state’s flagship school since it was integrated: Missteps along the path to greater diversity and inclusion often make more of an impression than positive strides do.
Months after the university unveiled a plaza and clock tower named for its earliest black students, the campus was swamped within the last two weeks with unwelcome attention after a white student was disciplined for yelling racial slurs at a black student. Days after that incident, more racial slurs were written on a campus sidewalk in chalk.
But it’s student foibles that garner the national headlines, such as when a parade of white students in Confederate uniforms stopped in front of a black sorority house in 2009 and angered alumnae gathered for a party.

Most galling to some is the fact that Alabama’s Greek-letter social organizations remain segregated almost entirely by race, not by rule but by preference.

I fail to see where a 3 yr old incident in Tuscaloosa has any bearing on what an Au player was accused of uttering a racist epithet in the last month or so.

I may be out of the loop, but does anybody actually use the N word any more as a derogatory slur?

The only context I've even heard this in the last few years has been amongst and between black folks as an acceptable slang word.

Of course its been several years since I've been close to a trailer park too. So, what do I know?
