Is Evans, Georgia a bit backwards...or is it still about 1918 in this guy's mind instead of 2018?
Kind of off topic but I noticed that in the Facebook message describing the incident, Klarissa says, "IF YOU ARE WHITE YOU CANNOT SAY IT. AT. ALL." If a group of black UGA basketball players was watching the game and one of them yelled, "Put that [N-WORD} in the game!" in reference to Fields, is that okay? Would there be an investigation of the player who yelled it? I'm wondering if the statement above reflects the opinion of the person who wrote the Facebook tweet or if there is actually a race-specific policy about this on campus.

This is the general attitude of people of color with regard to white people using the word. "They" have "taken" a word from "us" that "we" used to exercise power over "them". At least that's how it has always been portrayed to me when that question has come up. I can assure you there is no race-specific policy pertaining to it. That would be a legit cluster-frick.

This is the problem with the word. It's either not okay for anyone to say the word or it is okay for everyone to say the word. You cannot have it both ways.
However, as a representative of UGA Athletics, he should know he is held to a higher standard than the general public.
