Title: Andrew Harrison on Frank Kaminsky after Kentucky's loss to Wisconsin: 'F*** that n****'
I'd be really angry if I had any idea who these guys are.
As it is...meh.
ping #1. Damn it, you should be angry. This BS has gone on way to long. It perpetuates the divide between the racist and undermines any chance for real racial harmony. As long as blacks can freely use the word nigger while claiming that its death to whites that use it there will be no peace. Every time I see or hear a black person use the word nigger I think that he/she is a racist (towards whites).
Just a couple of college basketball players. I gave up watching basketball years ago when it became obvious certain players/teams had the game called differently for them, so don't worry you aren't missing anything.

This IS a Big Deal -- even if you're not into this College Basketball tournament (I'm not either.)
The media who heard this immediately circled the wagon and attributed the comment to "young and stupid" -- NOT "racism.") A simple apology of a "misunderstanding" was penance enough.
However, given the social ramifications and hypocrisy are an issue that's quite topical, recently there was a converse reaction of an Oklahoma Frat's "racist" song sung by drunken white boys. In their case, there was immediate and subsequent outrage and front-page media shaming/lynching for "racism." Public ostracizing and groveling for forgiveness was demanded. And even afterward, the ouster of the white boys from college, as well as disbanding the fraternity was executed as punitive measures.
