There are a couple of reasons, but the point stands. Wise is getting hammered because he's a white guy who heard some nasty music in the Pacers locker room and because of his white maleness that very valid complaint gets dismissed.

There is nothing to debate, you have made no debatable points. Mike Wise made a valid point about the vulgarity of the music being played in the Pacers locker room.

I wonder if this discussion would be taking this tack if Jemele Hill had made comments similar to Wise.

I didn't say really, really, really ... let's not go overboard here.

Well put. I was typing angrily when this posted.

I am, and I am ridiculously good looking as well.

Bullshit. Queer is still a word used regularly outside of referring to gay people. Faggot is the word you are looking for.

You just spent all that anger typing out what amounts to an amazing strawman argument.

The locker room is a place of employment. Why they are special you will have to explain and then you will have to explain why they are exempt from any other work place in the country. Think Richie Incognito before you do.

Why is an NBA locker room being treated differently then say, an NFL locker room. The locker room is not special or exempt from common courtesy and the laws that govern every other work area.You're trying to argue that an NBA locker room deserves special privileges and what happens there should, good, bad or vulgar be…

Play it in your workplace today, I dare you. The locker room isn't a special place, it's a work space and people other than the players work there. If you want to argue that locker rooms are somehow exempt from the laws that govern other work spaces, fine, go right ahead, but playing that music in a common area won't…

Go ahead and play that song in your work place. Give it a shot. We're talking about professionals attempting to do their jobs while this music plays in the background. While you are at work today I challenge you to play Tyga's music and see what sort of reaction you get, my guess it won't be a positive one.

Rack City Bitch, Rack, Rack City Bitch

Except it doesn't neutralize anything. Nigger is still nigger when used outside of the group and it's far from neutral. Black folks haven't taken the stigma and the ugly history of the word nigger by calling each other nigga, they have just taken an ugly word and used it among themselves.

What I loved most about those was that they were nearly all college-aged women and finding out which HBC they attended was such a draw.

You're still pro-life, I would hazard that nearly everyone is.

And wine coolers. Wine coolers play a pivotal role as well.

Yes?

I tried. I really tried. But I couldn't finish it.

Fuck you
