Hub City Hate Speech

I did not really expect this to ease quietly passed the internet browsings of Cup fans, but neither could I, in good conscience, let the day end without reminding you all, once again, how this racism is killing me inside.

From the Clarion-Ledger:

Blakeney Communications has issued an apology over a sexually explicit and racist conversation between several of its employees that was broadcast Saturday during the University of Southern Mississippi's spring football game.

And if you thought that was funny, roll that beautiful bean footage of Richard Giannini, Southern Miss AD, explaining why it's no big deal that his contractors discussed copulating with a picnic table and the imminent demise of an anonymous "n----- school."

Fewer than 50 people heard the live webcast, according to Southern Miss athletic director Richard Giannini.

Thank goodness nobody cares about Southern Miss football.  Got better things to do down in Hattiesburg, like, you know, gamble and get tattoos.

In all seriousness, I lament that it's socially acceptable to talk the way those guys were talking, but as long as we treat them like they are the exception and not the rule, Mississippi ain't 'bout to change.  Call these boys what you want to call them, just don't call them uncommon because you know you've got a brother, uncle, or crazy old grandad that's laying down N bombs and crude sexual jokes every time he thinks nobody's looking.

I'm sick of Missippi get all the blame...

I know I spelled it wrong before anyone says anything.

I’ve been living in Virginia for two years. Lived in Memphis, TN, for 2 years. Been all over the southeast and to California. Mississippi ain’t the worst of them. I hear just as many N bombs here in VA as I did anywhere else. Even heard it a few times in Cali.

You can ride that wagon if you want. But you’re part of the problem if you do.

Of course, these Southern Miss. assholes are helping anything.

I'm with you.

I’d say they are the exception, not the rule.

If you have to say “you know you’ve got a [INSERT SOMEWHAT DISTANT RELATIVE] that’s laying down N bombs and crude sexual jokes every time he thinks nobody’s looking” then you’re certainly dealing with “the exception.”

Take a picture, trick.

Your first sentence should have "past" not "passed."

I think JUCO might owe Ty Allogoshookenifio an apology.

interesting....

It has always been interesting to me that everyone gets all hot and bothered when a white person is racist, but when an african-amerian or mexican is racist it’s acceptable. Racism is racism. There is not a single exception to this rule. Also if you look up the word “n——-” in the dictionary, it originally meant “ignorant person” and had zero to do with color. Much like the word “faggot” meant a flaming torch or “gay” meant joyous and happy. For the record, during my days at Southern Miss the african-american students would shout the N word and other racial slurs while other students were walking by. Is this considered an exception? I find it amusing that the ones that scream racism, are generally the most racist ones… often times towards their own race or towards others. Racism is Racism, it isn’t a white thing… it’s an all color thing. When will people realize this and quit pointing fingers at each other? Be the change you want to see in the world! Call people out and let them know it is wrong to use that language. And using the excuse boys will be boys went out in the 50’s.
