who cares, these guys on ESPN FIRST TAKE to a great job of fairly and openly speaking about racial issues in sports. I give them props for having no fear in a lot of the topics they discuss. I promise you no one else debates these sensitive ideas as well as the people on this show. So don't take something that was said with two guys joking around with each other during a debate and turn it into a big deal.

He also just made a statement assuring that he did not utter the N word, he said that he speaks very fast and it was misconstrued

What's the big deal with saying ****** anyway? It's all about context...why the fuck do we need to dance around that word when there are a hundred more that are least that "offensive" or worse.

He should be fired. The single most offensive word in the English language.

Are you kidding? This has to be a joke right? You probably find nothing at all wrong with honky, spick, or chink do you?

I think the N word is worse than any of the three you list.

Lmao...stop trolling me dude. And stop being such a pussy. What does it say about society when we can't say fag, retard, nigga, etc. without getting dumped on. Take that PC shit and shove it.

Negative...the younger generation has fully embraced the word and uses it as a term on endearment practically. It's all about context!

I think this guy does a good job explaining why it shouldn't be used in any context

I have found that black people find it much more offensive when you call them a monkey as opposed to a ******, but just may be from my experiences....

He was presenting it at def jam poetry, so he was using a form of expression he thought would have the best impact. And why does that even matter? I could understand everything he said very clearly
