Sorry but I hate this. If we EVER expect there to be true equality, then everyone, EVERYONE must be treated the same regardless. In this case, a black coach (Shaw) used the same exact word in the same way in the same conversation and NO ONE is saying shi$ about that. If it’s a racial slur, then no one should be allowed to say it! Likewise, regardless of your color, black, white, red or brown, you should be held to the same expectation as everyone else and consequences should also be the same.
FTR, I love Shaw and know him personally. I also love Scalley.
What i hate is the mindset that because some of our ancestors held black people as slaves, then we must now overcompensate. That is one of the most racist things we can do because it causes it hurst people of color. being held to the same standards is ok and helps everyone grow and eventually thrive. Our social obligations should be socially based, not racially or in regards to gender or any other difining physical characteristic. We can be different and we definitly should celebrate that. But that shouldn’t affect our social responsibilities or our equality.
Having said all that, are we there yet? Of course not. Racism is alive and well. But we will never defeat it while multiple standards exist.
Sorry, off soap box now.
