It's called a double standard, and it's based entirely on

race and is maintained only through intimidation.

Well, apparently, you're unfamiliar with how racism works...

Paula Deen says it and loses $10 million dollars. Jay Z says it and makes $40 million. Get it? If not, I'm afraid you're racist!

I agree - it's the ultimate in hypocrisy.......

to hear blacks condemn the N-word which they have every reason and right to do only to hear them use it themselves!
It doesn't make any sense at all.

say that the black community bears a huge responsibility for perpetuating the use of the word. He said that by using the word, whether it be in an affectionate or derogitorry manner, others assume that it is OK to use it.

Was puttin on for the camera. Now he knows he use that word just like every other black man who has experienced being black, and knowing what kind of history blacks had endured. Point blank period, if you say the 'N' word with an E-R at the end and you're not black.. It's offensive.

You're ignorant! It's a racial slur and white people can't use it! Get over it! I don't know why a white person would want to use it in the first place.

If it's a slur, then blacks shouldn't use it either.***

Also, let's look at the irony

that while he is getting fined for using racial slurs, there still is an NFL team called the Redskins, which to Native Americans would be viewed as just as offensive.

You may find this interesting.....

Heres something you'll find interesting; ESPN/ABC knew that the Manti Teo thing was a fraud before the NCG and kept it on the backburner. Think about it, Musburger and Herby knew about this fact and were forced to not mention it. How hard must that've been?! Then the ''mothership'' waited for a few lulls in the winter to bring it all up. Funny huh.
I think it has everything to do with this being the lulls of summer. The media had to talk about something and I'm sure they were looking for anything good or bad to bring in some football talk. Not to mention, this occured a while ago.

He didn't just say it. He said "I'm going to jump the fence and fight every one of them". That is completely unacceptable. Do not try to argue it.

said, which was "I'm going to kill n-word". It was racist, and he came out and admitted it was wrong. The racists on Tnet are ridiculous. They are trying to defend a person , who admitted there was no excuse for what he said.
And this double standard thing is baloney. What makes you want to say a slur

Because...

Us brothers don't call each other the 'N' word w/ an E-R at the end. You'll hear us call each other the 'N' word w/ a G-A at the end. And those 2 words definitely doesn't mean the same my man. You don't see DeSean Jackson on video screaming "I'LL BEAT ANY 'C' word w/ a E-R at the end azs" now do you? I think Riley showed his true colors, and his apology definitely didn't seem sincere.

Thank you!!! I honestly don't think White people will ever understand.
On a side note this topic has nothing to do with Clemson football.

Had he casually used it in passing you may have a point
Aug 1, 2013, 9:21 PM

But in a drunken anger moment he said he wanted to kill all of them. That's a bit beyond using the word casually or jokingly.
Context. It all comes down to context.

I agree with that - Riley definitely was pi$$ed and used it
Aug 1, 2013, 9:27 PM

in a very derogatory way. I'm just trying to think of a context where it would be viewed as acceptable for a white person to use that word, even in a casual or joking manner. I can't, and to me, that's where the double standard exists.
