I never said anything about "code words." That was someone else. I just stated that your comments could be seen as insensitive or offensive by the way you characterized an African-American person. Especially if that very same language is not used to characterize a Caucasian coach that does similar or has similar character. I cannot tell you what they are if you are not familiar with people that are not white and what might offend them. I do know that if you are ever around a lot of people in your personal life that are do not look like you. I think you not trying to offend people come from what is deep inside. I cannot tell you what words to use when you have no core in you sole to know what could be seen as upsetting to people.

You've got to be kidding. So if you say something about someone that happens to be black and your comment happens to have a negative connotation, then it's racist unless you also include someone white in your comment as well? That is one of the dumbest things I've heard in a long time.
