Do we know the context yet?

Remember that commercial from several years ago? It was three guys (two black and one white) talking about their favorite basketball player. One black guy says "so and so is my N____" the other black guy says "so and so if MY N____", then the white guy say "Charles Barkley, that's my N____!" and the two black guy look at him like he's crazy. I wonder if that was the kind of context that was used. Still incredibly idiotic, but not intentionally racist...just **** and insensitive.

When I lived in Washington State and went to Wazzu...I did hear the N-word up there quite frequently. That was a huge culture shock because being raised in the south, I virtually never heard it.

Might they have been surprised by his choice of Sir Charles more than his language. lol Charles is a pistol. He's my....man.

I haven't lived in GA in a long time even though I was raised there, and I've lived about everywhere you can imagine since my UGA days. Georgia was one of the least prejudiced places I have been. Up north, they are careful to keep their racism in the closet, but when they pull it out you are in for a shock. Some other parts of the South did shock me, particularly a couple of states to the west. That was almost 40 years ago, though. But, if I had to pick a place to break down in a car it would be the South. Black, white, you name it, the people are just a lot nicer.

We definitely agree on this, the southern hospitality is in a class of its own. I stop for folks all the time that are broke down, mainly older folks, White or Black, I’m cautious with younger folks cause you never know if it’s a trap!!!

I think an African-American’s response to hearing that is almost automatic and w/o much thought, at least for many. Are you saying the guy who said it gave no personal meaning to the word? Your theory is ok but I don’t think it works well in real life.

If a person has spent their life in this country and they have an IQ above 60, they understand the implications of yelling that word.

My point is that if people would stop giving that word cause to hurt them then it would go away!

I know this is going to get me a lot of down votes. Has anyone looked into the possibility these girls might have heard it out of context, been a little tipsy themselves, or just flat out just wanted to cause a buzz on social media? We don't know what is what. Girl could be a woman scorned. Go ahead and go all PC on me. Sick of people crying. Make money, it fixes most things. If you are pissed, go punch the dude in the face. Fist fight, gun fight, I'm in. Bottom line is we all talk BS about other races. I got a joke, bet you do too.

Honestly I find with many southerners who came up in the 50s and 60s the old prejudices are still there, they just are not on public display anymore.
I've only lived out west and in Western Pa. outside of the south, Colorado didn't have enough blacks outside of Denver to really have to deal with race and Pa. was much like Georgia on the surface, which is as deep as I got with most locals.

I only met Philly natives in passing, but they are clearly an aggressive lot and I'm sure many are very tribal.

There is no context that I can think of where a white man can repeatedly yell N*** in Sanford Stadium that would be at all appropriate ..unless he was in a play maybe.

It has no place period point blank. I’m a 43yo black man from Augusta. Spent over 10 yrs in the Army and never had to deal with it. My wife is white and we have two kids. I will break my foot off in my son’s behind if I heard him using it. I doesn’t matter what context he said it in. I live in Maryland now and see more racism up here then when growing up back home. Anyhow no excuses he was wrong. Sporting events is the one true place that brings all of us together. He won’t be looked at the same around campus that’s for sure. It’s gonna follow him for a long time. 😡. Go Dawgs!!!

My Aunt is 65, she's White, I'm Biracial. White and Native American. She works in a predominantly Black work place. They pick on her every day. She cries some nights when she gets home. So it goes both ways. Guess I'm lucky that I look White. If any race in this country has been S-h-i-t on it's Native Americans. So don't cry me a river.

So slavery, Jim Crow, that wasn't being $hit on ?
Of course native Americans were treated as sub-human as well.

I doubt it, all of us over 45 who came up in the south have known people who used the word in place of a person's name.

Any news on how this is being handled by UGA admin?
