Social Justice coming to NCAA

[HogDawg]

If you aren’t black, you shouldn’t touch that word, even if you are singing along to your favorite song. That is old news that, unfortunately, some people still have to learn.

So.....you're making decisions based on people's race, right? So, you're a racist?

When professional players start taking a knee during the National Anthem in ANY sport, that station will be IMMEDIATELY turned off. I have been a Bulldawg season ticket holder for over 20 years. However, if I don't like the social justice messages I see on Tech uniforms......I will walk out of the stadium!!! Enough is ENOUGH!!!!

The National Anthem is a 20th Century invention. The Star Spangled Banner set to to tune of an impossible to sing British drinking song...it’s tough.

‘America the Beautiful’ was in the running for the National Anthem. Shame that didn’t happen. Less bombs and more brotherhood is something we could use right now.

White rappers shouldn’t say it.

That was never your argument when we debated this before. Again, it was okay for you then because of the way they were pronouncing the word. You gave them a pass. Now you change your stance. Typical snowflake cancel move.

BTW, what if a black person is offended by the MFs, F bombs, and treatment of women in some of those celebrated songs. Is it ONLY the N word they can be offended by?

I am not going to say racist things. If the culture that was oppressed with a demeaning label wants to use the term to denote the resourcefulness of pragmatic survivors of racial injustice to form a bond of solidarity against the “out-group” oppressors, it isn’t hypocritical. Words have no magic power in themselves. N-word when spoken by the out-group that used the term during slavery, segregation and Jim Crow has a different ring than it does when spoken by the group that experienced and continues to experience injustice. This really isn’t that hard of a concept. It just requires a touch of empathy.

Putting on your black skin again because of your white guilt.

I don’t hear the hard “er” at the end when it is spoken in the black vernacular. It is all part of the same.

As far as the content of the songs and the language used to express the message of any song, well, I cannot comment in any universal way about that. There are songs in all genres that fit your description. Music is an art form and some people are just better at it than others...and then there is the issue of taste.

Sometimes it is the point of art to provoke offense. If you are offended by it, that might be part of the point. But if offending a repressed group is your thing, I don’t think you will be openly appreciated in civil society.

Not at all. Empathy and guilt are two different things. Guilt is more akin to sympathy. The focus is on your feelings. Empathy is about the other.

Man, you are PC but the only thing of substance in your post is "Music is an art form." What is rap?

[MoonPieBlue]

So is it OK for a black person to call a white person the 'N' word?

I’d like for you address the points Guisslapp made in the above post.

Black skin, though. Maybe you should try it on.

OUCH! You said that like you think Black skin is a bad thing, or something that needs to be compensated for. That's a seriously racist statement.
