There are dozens of words that could be used as alternatives to the “N-word” and if any of them were used, it would be considered an offensive racial slur.
Bad news for you Tyler, the guy who recruited those players who called you a “cracker”, is now your new head coach, enjoy.
Is the word “reverse” really needed in the headline. Racism is racism. And non-whites have called white people ‘cracker’ for decades. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
The (South Florida) Sun Sentinel Editorial Board.....their writing pales in comparison to that found on a welcome mat.
