I think the statement as a whole was meant to be negative. Like "frick that guy". I definitely don't think he meant n**** with the connotation of "that guy's my black slave".
That's the difference that apparently people are having trouble grasping.
It truly is amazing. It's almost as if they're playing dumb
If they simply could realize that n***a was used in the same context that "man" could be, maybe they'll see the light. But they rather substitute the word n***er and act offended

And he meant "frick that guy/nig*ah" as a compliment because Kaminsky was killing them.

Do you realize that this exact phrase is used amongst blacks towards fellow blacks every single day?
Yes, that doesn't make it any better.

Do you honestly believe there is racist motivation behind that phrase when a black guy says it about another black guy?
You kids need to read up a little more about this before you go spouting off to your elders like you have all the knowledge.
There's a whole body of literature on the use of n***** by blacks. Just because it's new to kids, doesn't mean it's new to adults.

You're ridiculous. The fact that you even notice my "logo" proves it. I should change it because you ordered me to???? Lol, you have issues. I've been pulling for Wiscy since Arkansas lost, not that it's any of your concern, so I think I'll keep it up until after the championship game. Don't like it? Don't look.
And yes, coaches who do not discipline their players for inappropriate actions while representing their school - even Kentucky - are the primary problem in the climate of "I can get away with anything bc I'm a great player" in NCAA sports. ... I typed it again for you since you seem to have a problem comprehending. That's about as clear as I can make it. But there is no point in trying to reason with you since you are so unbelievably asshurt over any criticism whatsoever of UK, even when it is well deserved. Carry on with your delusions.

bitching about the racist connotation of a term
Maybe you have some personal problems, but I'm not bitching about the racist connotation of 'n*****', I'm merely stating it as fact.
What I'm bitching about is kids acting like they're never going to grow up into adults. How are they going to take having the next generation of kids telling them that they don't know about the world? "Oh, yes, I see, you're so smart, and I don't have any real world experiences..."? No, they're going to laugh at the next batch of kids and then tell them to get the frick off their lawn.

So obsessed, all the time. 
I comprehend your idiocy just fine. Because it's just that. If you think Cal not disciplining Harrison over this is the NCAA's "primary problem" then you're not nearly as smart as you think you are.

Sorry you're out of touch with how some words in the world are used today. The word n***a is used in the same context as the phrase "frick that dude/guy/man"
But just sit in your ignorance and try not to use common sense

I just love that he keeps throwing around "ignorant kids". Nothing like the old guy who is all "get off my lawn".

This stuff still going on? Lol
Either the word is good or bad, can't be both ways.. Similar to being pregnant, ain't nuffin in between.
Use another instrument that works..

It's beginning to look like you're upset that there are people younger than you trying to explain how some things work today, and you will just not have such a thing

I know what it's like to be 20-something. Do you know what it's like to be 30-something or 40-something? If you did, you might not see being 20-something as a 'luxury'.
I wouldn't go back to my 20s for anything.

If you think I'm pissed, you value your self-worth on this board just a smidge too much.
It's a message board, I disagreed with your idiocy. If you can't handle getting called out on it that's on you sweetheart.

Maybe we'll make progress when the faux outraged people on here realize that n***a can be substituted with words like man, dude, and guy in the context of the phrase that Harrison used
And that the word n***er is a whole different ballgame

here's the deal.... me being 40 and white.... If I had used the same phrase towards a black man and it was caught on camera, I'm pretty sure it would be a big deal. So if a word is or isn't bad depending on the color of they guy's skin who says the word... it's probably a word that just shouldn't be used at all. This generation is too much about individual rights and has no understanding of the concept of sometimes just just do things for the greater good. It ain't all about your rights young pup. It's a derogatory word youngster. DON'T USE IT. we all know what the word implies so just don't use it and everyone is happy.

Yeah I'll grow old. And the common sense that the word n***a is rarely if ever used in a racist context will grow old with me. I've seen an old black man call a young black man a "lazy arse n***a". Not once did the words racist or racism cross my mind. That's usually what happens when you think logically
quote:I'm having a hard time giving any shits about how many "real world experiences" you have. It doesn't change the fact that I can understand that was no racist motivation behind what Andrew Harrison said and you can't. It seems that you're offended that posters younger than you are trying to explain how something in the world works which is why you're going off the deep end in here and telling us "kids" how you're a grown man who has real world experiences and stuff! Seriously, how is that even relevant to this discussion
No it doesn't. It's a lack of knowledge and real world experience that makes you ignorant.

Except Harrison isn't 40 and white. And Kaminsky isn't black.

Good luck telling that to these kids who use it all the time, hear it all the time in their music and age-appropriate media, etc. As a 33 year old white woman I don't use it, but if you've been around kids his age long enough you'd see it's just like another noun to them. I don't like it, but it is what it is.

Except they've pretty clearly distinguished in their youthful culture the difference in the term we would've found as racist and the modified vernacular they're using. I'm not crazy about it, but I'm not going to be the idiot calling Harrison racist when that's clearly how he was using it.

Ok, groovy, I can dig that.

Anyway,, there is another way.
