Zombo Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 http://deadspin.com/eagles-wr-riley-cooper-at-concert-i-will-fight-every-979470075 A video of Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper uttering a racial slur at a Kenny Chesney concert surfaced Wednesday. NFC East blogESPN.com's Dan Graziano writes about all things NFC East in his division blog. • Blog network: NFL Nation In the video, Cooper vowed to "fight every n-----" at the July concert in Philadelphia. Riley issued an apology Wednesday afternoon. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said Cooper has been fined by the team. "We are shocked and appalled by Riley Cooper's words," Lurie said in a statement. "This sort of behavior or attitude from anyone has no role in a civil society. He has accepted responsibility for his words and his actions. He has been fined for this incident." The NFL also issued a statement on Cooper: "The NFL stands for diversity and inclusion. Comments like this are wrong, offensive, and unacceptable." Cooper, 25, has 46 catches for 679 yards and five touchdowns in 40 career games. He is expected to assume a larger role in the Eagles' offense this year after the season-ending injury to Jeremy Maclin. "I am so ashamed and disgusted with myself," Cooper said in a statement. "I want to apologize. I have been offensive. I have apologized to my coach, to Jeffrey Lurie, to Howie Roseman and to my teammates. I owe an apology to the fans and to this community. I am so ashamed, but there are no excuses. What I did was wrong and I will accept the consequences." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was, why is it such a big deal when white people use the N word? But it's ok for black people to use it?

MLD Woody Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 First of all I'm guessing he said N*****, not nigga. Also, cracker and honkey don't have decades of racial tension behind them, so who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there decades of racial tension and prejudice behind the word "redneck"? No. Hicks can be any race. Hell, I could call a black guy a redneck I guess. Redneck is an insult for doing redneck things. It is not an insult based completely on your skin color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The meaning has nothing to do with blacks actually quite the opposite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The meaning has nothing to do with blacks actually quite the opposite... Yeah, yeah, I get where it comes from. But its not an insult for ALL white people. Its for hicks from the south, people that do "redneck" things. Its not an insult meant for any entire race like N***** is. Do you really find the term redneck offensive?

The Cysko Kid Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 First of all I'm guessing he said N*****, not nigga. Also, cracker and honkey don't have decades of racial tension behind them, so who cares? You keep making this 'nigga' 'N*****' distinction. There isn't a distinction. It's like saying 'ask' and 'axe' And actually honkey and cracker do have decades of racial tension. Whites just don't get as butthurt over it.

MLD Woody Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I forgot about black slave masters calling white slaves honkies Or blacks discriminating against honkies with Jim Crow laws... There's a reason you don't get butt hurt about it. There clearly is a distinction. "I'll fight every N***** here, bro" Vs "What's good my nigga" But I'm not looking to get into a debate regarding race with the "blacks across the world have an inferior culture" guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hey MLD, why don't you go to a Kanye West concert and have the blacks call you honkie, or cracker. There will FOR SURE be some racial tension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 There's no distinction. It's simply how they say "N*****" just like "axe" in place of "ask" or say "cut off" or "cut on" in place of turned on or off. I'll take it easy on you insinuating I'm a racist because I know that's the only face you can save when you're trying to argue with me. Perhaps at some point heck can come by and give you your lines.

There will FOR SURE be some racial tension I could care less. I have no shitty history with the word cracker. I've never been treated as less than others because I'm "a cracker." I'm not really even sure what you are trying to prove here? Is anyone trying to defend Cooper? Is someone trying to say "Black people use the N word all the time so why cant we?" Those are both idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
