Nah. The Black player should've had some self control. That looked like a high school game, which means there are most likely rules against certain language, taunts, etc. The ref followed the rule book, the player earned his tech fair and square.Another way to have control over Black players....I get not speaking it I really try not to say it but it should be left to the individual.
I used to referee, and I can tell you that a girl would've gotten a tech for saying that. She would've been subjected to the same language rules that got the player in the tweet charged.If they can't say it then you can't say it. That's pretty much why they got the rule. My guess is if a girl says b*tch in a game, they won't get in trouble over it.
Exactly. I don't see anything funny about this at all. People shouldn't be laughing.If they can't say it then you can't say it. That's pretty much why they got the rule. My guess is if a girl says b*tch in a game, they won't get in trouble over it.
It's a judgement call and could have determined the outcome of the game I get the so called rule and I suppose the young man could have said "boo yah" instead maybe he wouldn't have gotten a foul maybe the problem was him celebrating himself ? Society doesn't want us to shine on any level.....hence the control that I speak of. Interesting dialog to be had by us all.Nah. The Black player should've had some self control.

That was a white league, white refs, white everything it seems like. There was all kinds of n*gga, b*tch azz, etc, trash talking in our mostly black HS city league. But to be fair, I don't know if they can say that these days. Most of the refs were black, the coaches were 50/50 black, but even the white ones were used to street language. I'll have to ask my homies, so it could have changed all over.
Brother RCNAL, would you consider it a good change?

Buy why do WE want to say it is my point? Forget them.Exactly. I don't see anything funny about this at all. People shouldn't be laughing.
This is just a softer form of anti-Black racist oppression and overpolicing under the guise of "equity" and "equality." This is their form of power play and way to control us.
If whites and others can't say the n-word, then Black people can't say it either.
If FBA / ADOS Freedmen get reparations, then everyone has to get reparations too.
If whites and non-Blacks are racist (even with Black people being dead last at the socio-economic bottom), then Black are racist too.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
But Brother ZxBro, is the problem not clear? It has become a derogatory term. That's simply not allowed in sports and other formal settings. Is it always enforced, no. But neither are ANY of the rules in the rule book. I mean, would we rather them allow it and then having "White" boyz and other races yelling it? Cause you KNOW they will. 🤨 This isn't about shine, this is about trimming unnecessary FAT! Do we need it in our Lexicon? If so, WHY?It's a judgement call and could have determined the outcome of the game I get the so called rule and I suppose the young man could have said "boo yah" instead maybe he wouldn't have gotten a foul maybe the problem was him celebrating himself ?

We absolutely don't need the word in our lexicon! My point is that these rules they put in sports are to control players mostly Black from celebrations of any kind. The young man broke the so called rule and was penalized. That's good enough for everyone I'm just saying be careful how much control we give them over our voices and what we say and how we react.Buy why do WE want to say it is my point? Forget them.
I was raised in a household that never used the word. I know a lot of people use it and that is fine, that is for them to decide but for me it is just not in my language. Never has been. I think originally, people used "negro" as some sort of empowering statement or a "taking it back" move. I don't care if it is a soft "a" or a hard "r", I refuse to play cracker games. I also don't use the word "bitch" or "bishes" to refer to females. These WS just use this kind of language against use anyways.There is an episode in the Black Mirror series, where the mother gets upset and says to the child, after the child said that she "LOVED" something, "Precision of Language." It was a future where we had done away with VAIN words. The word is VAIN and needs to be retired from the "Black" lexicon. It isn't empowering, it isn't a symbol... it's VAIN. I'm talking about "NIGGA," not "I’m a racist." 👳🏿♂️
Amen Sister Sapphire! Although, I do believe we have to get away from the, "to each his own," mentality. It's either fruitful or its not. 🍇 What say ye?I was raised in a household that never used the word.

I had it like that when I originally made the site because I thought that google ads would stop running. I need to change it.Oh wow! It appears that the algorithm changes the actual "N" word to "I'm a racist." Interesting. 🕵🏿♂️
Understood. And I agree. Here's what I want to make sure that WE understand and hopefully AGREE upon; the CONTROL that we are giving them is due to the LACK of CONTROL that we are giving to ourselves. Remove "Niger AKA Ni@@er AKA Nigga," and there is NO LAW to break. Are you following me?We absolutely don't need the word in our lexicon!
