Re: Mike Pouncey 'really feels bad' for Eagles' Riley Cooper
 

We just disagree on this one too Oak. Not the 1st time. Lol.


I support Vick, and I support Cooper. If he plays this season they're going to light his ass up though. You know the main places I've been called the "n" word with either intent to disrespect, be funny, or because it was assumed to be okay? The football field, and the locker room. Some of these guys need to stop pretending to be so shocked. They should be used to it by now.

In the interest of being fair.

Had Cooper had a target for his stupidity then he should get punished... If the intended target was not a friend.

It also matters how he said it... Did it end with "er" or "ah"? That matters.

Apparently the "ah" version is an acceptable colloquialism between 35yo and younger "gangstas" of all races.

The "er" version originated in W. Africa and is the name of the river with the same name as the country and the root word for Nigeria, but because slaves were labeled with the word much like someone being called a Texan it has become the one sole word that could silence a crowd of 1 million people when uttered loud enough.

Controversially.... it can be a highly inflammatory term depending on quite a few factors that no one person can completely quantify.

I doubt Cooper was cheering for that Countries soccer team.

White America needs to realize that there will never, ever, ever, ever, ever be a time when it is ok for a white person to say the 'N' word!!

If blacks want to call each other that, more power to them.

My wife is black and she uses that word more than me. I can't even remember the last time I said that word.

Re: Mike Pouncey 'really feels bad' for Eagles' Riley Cooper
 

I gave a speech on it in college. Got a 95 because. 5 points off because I never wrote down any speech I gave.

I used to get offended, but I started treating it like any other word intended to disrespect me. I also continue to use it in my every day language, even as s child. Its just a part of the culture of my generation, and yeah, it is starting to leak into other races vocabulary. They think its cool. Idk man, other races find us cool and fascinating for some reason. Lol.

I'm not going to stand here and pretend or allow you to pretend that there isn't context to the two events. Murdering an animal because it is threatening you, your family, your way of life, or killing for food does not fall into the same category as torturing and murdering animals for sport. That isn't an opinion it is a fact.


Mike Vick should have went to jail. Mike Vick should have been allowed to play for any team willing to employ him.

Your wife is a loser.

Let me tell you flat out- if a black person used that word at work I would have them fired for it because I would be offended. If he wasn't I would sue in heart beat. I would teach anyone in this country that they will be held to an equal standard, period. Guess what- he would lose his job as fast as a white person :)

So hunting season is for the animals that are threatening us huh? Interesting. Hunting for sport or fun is okay, because its not dog hunting right? Dogs are obviously superior animals to others right? I've heard of this logic before.

Re: Mike Pouncey 'really feels bad' for Eagles' Riley Cooper
 

And I don't believe for a second you'd be offended. That's just you being a dick and trying to teach a group of people a lesson about something that if it was just respected, wouldn't be a problem.

We know amongst each other not to say it at work, mainly because of people who take up that type of attitude. Don't call that mans wife a loser. That's disrespectful and unnecessary. I see why you have trouble grasping the concept.

Re: Mike Pouncey 'really feels bad' for Eagles' Riley Cooper
 

Do you think you look like an idiot when you quote someone and then ignore what they wrote? Just wondering.

Re: Mike Pouncey 'really feels bad' for Eagles' Riley Cooper
 

Your whole stance is idiotic. This internet courage of yours is real impressive.
