Deion Sanders: Baffling African-Americans Say 'N-Word,' Then Have 'Audacity' to Judge Cooper
BREITBART SPORTS ^ | 4 Aug 2013 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 08/05/2013 12:15:30 PM PDT by man_in_tx

On Saturday, during the pre-Hall of Fame induction show on the NFL Network, Deion Sanders took time to address the media feeding frenzy surrounding Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper's use of the N-word. In so doing, he pulled no punches in saying he is bothered that "African Americans can say the N-word to one another"--that they do so in the locker room and in rap songs--yet they jump all over "a kid who made a mistake" in using the word.

I must congratulate Deion Sanders -- not only for his clear thinking, but, also, -- for having the courage to speak "truth to power" regarding the current "politically-correct" speech-code double standards with regard to the "N-word," whereby it is somehow okay for African-Americans to bandy the word about without thinking in private speech or in "hip-hop" music, etc, but somehow impermissible for non-blacks -- or, at least, for whites -- even to utter the forbidden syllables, as did Riley Cooper.

Thought: Anybody heard J Jackson recently accusing Florida of "Apartheid?" Of course, we must make allowances for Jackson, as he has obviously seen better days, but -- as a general rule -- when Liberals start accusing the Right of doing something (be it "voter suppression," "discrimination," or whatever), VERY OFTEN they are simply tipping their hand as to what they are actually doing -- just trying to cover it up by projecting their actions on their political enemies.

Well, here we are: Exhibit "A." If there is any kind of Apartheid in Florida or in any other part of this country, it occurs most obviously in Apartheid speech codes.

Apartheid Speech Code:

African-Americans (and other minorities, on occasion) may use the following words indiscriminately: "N-word," "Niggah," or "Nigger."

White Americans may not use -- even in privacy any of these words at any time or for any reason. Violation of this code has no statute of limitations. (Think Paula Deen.) Moreover, violation of this code carries with it the penalty of having repeatedly to apologize and self-humiliate -- in a public manner -- for an unspecified period. Additionally, financial penalties will likely attach, to include cancellation of contracts, to include book deals, TV shows, and the like. There are no exceptions to this rule, other than the case of some elected white Democrat politicians (but only on a case-by-case basis).

My daughter had the same problem trying to explain this to a foreign exchange kid at her college.

I can’t believe I’m agreeing with Deion Sanders, an FSU grad and a Cowboy.

I agree the widespread use in certain circles is problematic. At the same time, did most of our families teach us that our manners should be lowered based on what other people do. I am always so surprised that so many Freepers are so opposed to traditional manners and culture and want to destroy it as much as the left. It doesn’t seem very conservative.

By the way, stop continuing the myth that Paula Deen hadn’t used that word in 30 years. She was using it in front of her white employees up to the present day.

It’s a strange, sick country we are in today. Cooper, says a word, a single word, and his career is in danger, and he’s been sent of to “sensitivity training”, otherwise known as a re-education camp.

I gave this issue a passing thought over the weekend, and this is what I came up with.

The c word is a universally unacceptable word. Saying the c word will get you in trouble in most social settings. It can be said, but the place and time has to be just right for the person saying it to survive without physical or social harm. But, no one is given a pass for the c word. Women don’t call each other that. You don’t hear it in songs, (maybe rap, but not commonly).

The n word on the other hand, is used by many. Blacks throw it around freely, and alter the spelling, as if making it slang makes it better. Blacks use it as a greeting, a way to show kinship, and in anger as a slur. Yet, let one poor white kid say it, and the media goes ape sh** trying to persecute another white racist.

It’s bullcrap, and it’s past time for whites to stand their ground. Call me a racist? I don’t give a rat’s a**. I detest the black urban culture which produces stupid n******.

The word is a trap, thrown defiantly at Whitey. If Whitey takes the trap, Whitey is branded a racist and must quit his job and bow down in abject submission and ask for forgiveness, which is never given.

If you actually read the transcript/relevant material instead of the media B.S.

Try this on for size:

“African Americans? As opposed to what? American Americans?”

I was flipping around in the car today, and I heard it in a country song. I think it might even be on TV now.

Do you know what word he was talking about? Not the N word. I can’t believe that used that other word in the 70s.

Looks like Barry has done a little growing up.

Good for him, and good for him for having the backbone to speak out, publicly and at a very high profile event.

(I still can’t stand his on the field grandstanding, but praise where praise is due. “Ya done good, Pilgrim!”)

The c word?!

I’m ex-Navy and I don’t even use that one.
