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.

Sorry, I really can't figure out what you're trying to tell me here. Except that somehow you're offended by something I might have said that you really cannot put your finger on. But it wasn't a codeword. And I think you're trying to insult me, but I'm not sure. :shrug:
I can't do much about any of that.
BTW, go google "hockey thug" and see how many hits you get. I got over 80,000. Last time I checked there weren't many "people of color" in hockey.
edit: check out "nazi thug". 96,000 hits on google.
redneck thug got only 52,000 hits.
Mafia thug got 148,000 hits!
Russian thug: 176,000 hits!!
And a particular russian got 55,000 hits on his own: Stalin thug.
I guess you get the idea...
