Here's one that will throw you into a tizzy: Did anyone see the Kentucky Derby RACE this past weekend?
I'm black too and I would give a T as a reaction in this case. One, he was taunting and secondly he called him a name that many have been beaten if not killed for. There is no place for that on a basketball court. Regardless of the color of the offending party this should have been dealt with IMO(something more than telling him not to say it again).
