South Florida: Ban Use Of N-Word

The University of South Florida has reached unforeseen heights on the football field this season.

However, the greatest heights reached by the team may be in the locker room.

From the Tampa Tribune, via The_Big_Lead:

"These days the only N-word being thrown around the University of South Florida is 'national championship.'

Last season that wasn't always the case. At least not until Walter Walker spoke up.


After reading a column about the use of the N-word in society, specifically in athletic locker rooms, by ESPN.com's LZ Granderson, Walker decided to do something about it.

He said he would no longer tolerate the use of the N-word by his USF teammates.

'I felt if I didn't do it, I would somehow be found derelict of my responsibilities as a citizen of humanity,' said Walker, a 6-foot-5, 333-pound senior right tackle for No. 2 ranked USF."

And, after instituting the righteous policy, the fortunes of the team speak for themselves.

In honor of Walker's stand, and his team's willingness to follow him, we announce that USF will be eligible for inclusion in our next Negro Coach and Quarterback Poll.

Congratulations to the Bulls for taking this strong social stand.

And congratulations on their new found eligibility in the NC&QB Poll.


Ya'll some righteous niggahs brothers.

Poetic.
Symbolic.
Unprecedented.

Misguided.

For some reason, I believe, largely white America, has been lulled into the belief that merely restricting language is a means to an end of racial ignorance instead of addressing the meaning and significance of behind the words. Once that is done, the use of the offending terms would not need to be regulated.

In any event, I only wonder how long it will be before this is assaulted by our sexually confused friends.

I'll tell you what. The only solution to any problems black people may or may not have is going to have to come from other black people. I know that seems overly simplistic, but I believe it to be true.

banning the USE of the n word from locker rooms is a good first step.

now if we can just ban the n-words from the locker room...we'll be where we need to be.

I see little point in banning the n-words from the locker room when the root of your anger comes from the diminutiveness of your p-word in comparison with that of the n-words.

LGF,

An interesting observation of lazy thinking.

Is what USF did a restriction of language, or an affirmation that some things don't need to be said in conversation?

And why is it that when "nigger" is mentioned, that tired argument is trotted out as a sign of intellectual castration?

I acknowledge that there was a PC craze. I believe it could be categorized as "too much of a good thing is bad."

Why is it that anti-PC'ers aspire to speak of others in more vulgar terms instead of those that show respect? The thinking is we'd have a better world if we could just freely throw the words "jigaboo, bitch, cunt, wop, slanteye, spic, polack, faggot, clit-licker" around in polite conversation. Once we can do that, we'd be more civilised.

Logic and history says it doesn't work that way.
