Yes, you did. Check out the subjects on the 1st page and all of them are replying to a thread titled "ATTN: Vince Carter".

If my original title was inappropriate, then I could understand. I'm not terribly angry about it, but you're definitely overreaching when you do something like that.


I understand you're not angry about it, but not only were you trying to address Vince Carter personally with the thread title, but also the your first post of the thread. It doesn't exactly call for a meaningful discussion, does it?

What matters that they are both black?

That almost makes it worse.

If a black guy called me white trash, cracker or honkey as a true insult
When another white person calls me a racial slur of our own race as an insult, I percieve it as more thought out and understanding of the true meaning of the word and a more literall translation of the slur, said for it's true meaning.

1. I think he was referring to their age difference. So does the NBA.

"Derrick Stafford expressed regret for the use of the term boy. But we are (convinced) he did not mean it in a derogatory fashion,'' NBA Senior VP Brian McIntyre said.



2. No, it does not make it worse that Derrick is black. That's terribly illogical. Furthermore, you have never been called a "cracker" or "honky" by a white person.


I DO NOT think he was referring to their age difference and if this is what the NBA is saying it is PC media BS. He would have called him kid or little boy or baby.
Let's be real here and have some common sense, don't be such a naive fool.

2nd, it is completely logical and why take things out of context and put a spin on them to help your argument?
Granted no white person has ever called me a honkey and any white person that has called me cracker was a friend that was making a joke.
I was talking about the term white trash.
You know that is the one I was referring to and if you say you didn't you are being a coy a-hole tyring to play stupid to dumb down the relevant points I made for the sake of what I do not know, and if not you must be one of the most unperceptive people I have had a conversation with.

"boy" in this case could likely be the ref's way of showing that he is in the dominant position over V.C. He was disrespecting him purposely.

What's with all the hate in the world?
