If you feel that certain language is unacceptable, when you work your games you can do just that. If I am working a game, I will do the same. I do not have "magic words" that are automatics. Everything has a context and will be addressed the best way I see fit. Maybe that would be a T, maybe that would be a "talk to." Maybe that would be to tell the coach and let him deal with it.

I just have found out that this is not the place to have those kinds of discussions about race. If your only interaction with folks outside of your race is on this site and in the game of basketball, then maybe you need to find some acquaintances to have these discussions with. I am not going to be that person anymore.

Peace OUT!!!
How do you expect to get anywhere when you say something that is pretty good and then you end it with a dig?

This is the bottom line, if someone doesn't know and comes here to ask that is good. YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER! You know how I know? I have 34 years experience on this earth that says so! If it isn't an automatic T for you then that is really sad. I'm asking you (almost begging) if you don't have something to add to a thread like this leave it alone. Please?
