Oakland A's announcer said this hard R was a slip up.

^^^^
Exactly.

the completely weak ass apology did not help at all. He had a chance to immediately show real remorse and in a few seconds just saw how devastated he was blah blah blah

Instead he said that lame sh*t



He needs to be flushed

This is an excellent point. A complete piece of shit franchise from top to bottom. Speaking of bottoms....

You know darn well we always have to do a preemptive strike when it comes to white folk.

If we all just "waited" on their own better judgement, compassion, empathy and humanity toward black people...

Anyway I'll just leave it there.
I think that’s true, say, for pushing for police accountability after a shooting that could be brushed under the table. I don’t think an announcer saying “****** leagues” is the same thing.

Fighting for ****** to have the same weight as fag as a slur is a waste of energy IMO. That’s not in question.

My read is that they are going to fire him regardless, so this isn’t the fight.

I think my main disagreement with your post is the word always— if this is something we need protests for, the country is more fucked than I think it is, and that’s saying something.
 
I don't mistake saying n*gger for Niger when I state the country's name.

He definitely didn't mean to say it at that time, but that's what he was thinking and that's what he said.

He gets no pass and any Black person giving him one is most likely

your right I don't think we really disagree on anything.

When I say always I mean remain vigilant and consistent and strong.

Maybe it will never be treated as the other slurs which is insane but probably true.

But no way in hell should would ever reach a point we just letting it slide

especially in front of a national audience concerning a traditionally racist ass sport like baseball in reference to the negro league.

Now Booker T said it on accident when he gave one of the best wrestling promo’s in the history of wrestling but his aint end in no R.

That's why white folks are the worst.

if it was at least funny?

Or clever? Or the worst most embarrassing?

Nope. It was lazy and overtly racist and revealing and not only a horrible apology but done during a segment on the negro leagues.

Ain't those brothers suffered enough?

I've said this numerous times over the years...

While many see this scene as black strength - and it IS

I see how we as black people have been programmed to believe letting white folk act out like this UNCHECKED is a sign of strength on our point and how we should just IGNORE ignorance.

And I disagree.

I don't believe white folk by and large watch that scene and see themselves and how horrible they were are and continue to be. And how f*cking blessed they are we all don't just collectively explode in their direction.

Right.

Booker T’s reaction showed he knew he made a mistake. We knew he was in character.

This guy kept speaking normally like shit was all good. He didnt realize what he said until someone pointed it out to him after the fact.

That bill Clinton signiture handmotion exclamation point on the word was the noose on rope that sealed it for me
 
He definitely said it by accident, meaning that he didn't want to say it on air but that's definitely what he thought about the museum and us.

I use the word nigga everyday, and at no point would I accidentally or purposely call the Negro League museum "Nigga League Museum".

Negro, Black etc is all N*gger to him.


Yup. Had a friend at work rapping out some old school Eightball and MJG and was SO caught up in the lyrics he said nigga out loud. In front of other people. These white folks is super liberal so they started tearing into him…

MEANWHILE he was only apologizing to the homeys in the room. He said I just slipped up, I didn’t mean folks. I’m all for the culture, not a vulture.

We was clowning him BUT to be honest, that just showed us how much he rocked with the music and said nigg A by mistake and not nigg ER.


We gave the white nigga a pass but he still on the radar.

Someone that does not use the word, would IMMEDIATELY realize the mistake.

Someone that uses the word on a regular basis, might not realize he said it, EVEN DURING A BROADCAST!!!

The weak cowardly apology says a lot as well. Someone that made a mistake that bad would come on and almost be in tears at that kind
of mistake.

Someone that says that word a lot did just what he did. He felt like he got busted saying a word he uses outside of work and was only upset that he got exposed!!!

Fuck that dude! I hope one of his friends comes out and says that he uses that word freely outside of work. Just to put that final few nails in his coffin.

That wasn't a slip up, because the words aren't the same or similar

It's what he says behind closed doors


Yup. You can DEFINITELY tell the difference.
