Unfortunate PR goof in Philly

Come on. The double standard here is outrageous. I can't tell you how many times I've been at parties or clubs and heard this come out of every ethnicity from Indian to a Chinese person's mouth. It's pop culture, not anything else. The fact people are so sensitive to this in my opinion is more ridiculous then what happened in the first place.

 

 

You acknowledge that it people are sensitive to it, but deny that it's a bad PR move to keep him around?

Does anyone actually care about black history month?  Why confine the learning of historical achievements of anyone to one month?

 

I should be able to learn about George Washington in February and George Washington Carver in June.

 

And before anyone asks, there is another month dedicated to a race.  Hispanic heritage month.  But its not even a month, its the latter half of September until halfway through October.  I don't understand the world.

 

 

segregation...it's the American way.

Go to work and walk down the hall. Scream it. You know In the "I'm cool" way.

C what happens.

And how accepted (or fired) you will be.

U got a job right?

 

So in a corporate office setting it's on par with all the other slurs. What about on TV, what about among your friends, or out in public. In Music, in Comedy, on the internet. I've had bosses and co workers use it in an office setting and I'm not proud of them but they were not fired. 

 

But this topic will go nowhere fast so it's probably best to end it. Is the word offensive? Yes. Do I approve of it's use? No. Is it the ugliest? I don't see how anyone could rank racial slurs, wrong is wrong, right is right. But the N word is a slur I hear more often than any other and it's rarely met with backlash.

We've seen the old logic of "well these black people over here use it, what's the big deal?" countless times here already. Each time it gets worse.

People are hypersensitive to it. It's meaning and use has evolved to the point where the older generation and younger generation see its meaning as two different things. I don't think it is a bad PR move to keep him around when you have a couple of the most influential people in the franchise taking a stance to support him.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
