LoL. Again, you sound stupid.
What made his statement racist? Please describe these “other uses of the n-word that are not racist” if you’re white?

Go check a few of the people freaking out of this kid. Many of them post things as bad or worse daily.

m sure they were posting exactly what they were told. I’m sure the social media person doesn’t have the authority to freewheel a response

You don't think there are white kids out there using the N word daily with their black friends? It's very common.
And the kid in question said he hated them. That's where the racist intent comes into play. I said that from the beginning but you apparently have reading issues.
Words are simply sounds you make with your mouth. They only have the power we give them.
If I decide that I'm going to call all black people 'avocados' and post all over social media about how I hate 'avocados' then that is a racist statement. The word I chose is not relevant, but my intent is.

Oh that goes without saying. I didn't watch the video and assume he's as advertised. I generally ignore racist video rants and screaming Karen videos because we reached PEAK IDIOCY as a culture long ago and this stuff is ubiquitous and there is only so much time in the day.
What DOES interest me are Free Speech and Equal Protection/Equal Application/Rule of Law issues. Which is why I have racists from both sides attacking and slurring me for suggesting they slow their roll, and start thinking. Because people have STOPPED THINKING. It's 100% emotion at all times and now that Progressives have entered the shaming, bullying and humiliation phase, they have blood lust. They just can't fricking wait to destroy the non-believers. Drew Brees is just the first of many. These ideologically-possessed people want BLOOD.

It's idiots of all races. You originally posted about LSU players posting racist shite everyday, now you're talking about some black mississippi cult.
I said post bad things that black LSU student athletes posted similar to the dude that said "I hate n-words."
All I see on social media right now is players like Kardell Thomas Mo Hampton pissed about this situation.

No, you still don’t understand.
Intent has nothing to do with the term being racist. It still is whether the white kid knows it or not. He’s just ignorant.
If the white kid were to say the n-word around another group of black kids or his black friends parents there would be an issue.
What is so hard to comprehend about that?

No, I understand fully.
There is a difference in something being rude, crude and socially unacceptable. And being racist.
Words CANNOT be racist. People are racist due to their intent and thoughts.
If a word is racist, then it is a racist word no matter who says it.
It's not, which is why WHO says it and their INTENT is what matters.

This is what YOU said:
My ACTUAL original quote:
Now, rather than go back and spend three hours finding random crap, I will just politely make it a point IN THE FUTURE to bring it to your attention, so you can see how racial double standards apply.
My operating premise: Kids are inherently foolish. This is why we cut them slack. Just as I have always favored VERY lenient treatment with student athletes who screw up in college, I would expect we cut 15 and 16 year old kids a LOT of slack. Because their very nature is to be idiotic. And because by bringing them INTO THE FOLD we can help them improve their lives. It's a constructive approach rather than a PUNISHMENT approach.

The person you are referring to was an LSU recruit from Mississippi who ended up at Auburn(maybe, or Mississippi State) and I think didn't last long.
He had some social media content that would bar any white kid from any college.

That is correct. And the VAST majority of posters who these guys are lazily and shamefully calling "racist" argued that we must not judge a young guy too harshly because we want him to have a chance.

At this point, I honestly don't if you're just plain stupid or racist.
Bjorn Cyborg:
Also Bjorn Cyborg:
If words "CANNOT" be racist then why did you say the kids statement was RACIST?
How do you determine someone else's intent and/or thoughts? Maybe the kid the video wasn't intending for his words to be viewed as racist.
Do you see the fallacy in your logic?

First question, what is hate speech? And freedom of speech is a pretty good place to find an answer to your question. Safe spaces create soft faces.

There is no fallacy in my logic and I am not racist (or stupid).
He added the verb "hate" to his comments, which illustrated his intent and thought process.
You may not be aware of the way language works, but when you add different words to a sentence structure, the whole picture can be drawn.
Individual words cannot be racist, but strung together to form sentences, then of course they can.
This is not difficult stuff.
Posted on 6/8/20 at 12:59 pm to Bjorn Cyborg
LoL. So now its individual words CANNOT be racist?
So if a white guy was to say, "Look at all those n-word on the field", that wouldn't be a racist statement?
