People don't get it. Just looking for reasons. HISTORY CAN NOT BE CHANGED.

Caucasians have never had advantages in the U.S.  - u cant be serious 

No I wasn't, I was being sarcastic because there are so many clueless posters on this site.

Now the whole world is talking about it
This is different. Your making it something its not. This is my opinion. Im not saying it was right. The kid made a mistake out of frustration. 38 wins.. first loss humbling experience. Monday night he will be watching... doubt anything any of us say or do can hurt him more..

 

Youre kidding me right??

Had any white athlete, or white kid said this about a black person...Jessie Jackson would be all over the tv, people would want the kid suspended and school fined or shut-down...

It doesnt matter if he said 'nigga' or not...had any white person/kid been asked about another person or player who was black and he said " F Him'....all hell would break lose

I don't think so.  Kids are caught on live game t.v. broadcasts all of the time cursing at each other (black and white), and there isn't an uproar.  I think cursing is acceptable.   It's when race and sexual orientation that gets brought up is when uproars begin.

This wasnt in the middle of a play or a game...this was 20+ minutes after the game was over.

Like I said, take the racist word 'nigga' out of it, and its still a joke of what was said and how people are trying to stick up for him...

Had ANY white person been asked a question about a black person, or asian or anyone else....and the white person responded with "F Him"...or even worse "F that nigga"....there would be riots

Agree to disagree I guess.  I am not sticking up for Harrison at all, I think he is an idiot, and his reaction in the press conference shows poor sportsmanship.  I also think it reflects Calipari's lack of discipline.  I just don't think there would be an uproar if it was a White player either.

Thats the biggest problem with the whole situation....

"who cares?"""

If the roles were reversed and a white person said it about a black person....EVERY black person is making a big deal about itm even without the racial slur...

If Frank was asked about a Kentucky player and responded with "F Him"....the world would have ended....

But, since it was said about a white person..."who cares"

From the player: "He reached out to me, we talked about it, [I'm] over it," Kaminsky told reporters Saturday. "Nothing needs to be made out of it."

From the coach: "In this day and age, it always reminds all of us that whatever we say can and will be heard, it seems," Ryan said. "The teaching moment is the individual himself learned from it obviously by reaching out to Frank, so we'll leave it at that."

Well done, University of Wisconsin Badgers.

Considering Kaminski himself said he doesn't care, I don't think there
is any reason to build this up like a national event.

Harrison is partially right, Kaminski is a straight up thug if I'd ever seen one.

And some of these players from both teams will be teammates in the NBA and by then they could care less. Happy Easter guys.

if it were totally reversed then it would be Frank making a remark such as: cracke*, redne*k, honke*. Harrison said nigg* so how does that offend Kaminsky????

If harrison wouldve said f that cracke* it would be different but he said the n word which is normal when a black person says it

 I'd bet my bankroll that nothing would have happened still had he used the word "cracka" or "honkey". Thats just the way it is these days

Exactly and it doesn't surprise me that Stephen A. Smith 
said it was no big deal. He's a f---ing idiot too. He thinks he's god's gift to radio. He knows everything. Just ask him.

Take the 'racial slur' out of it completetely...

Even if Harrison just said "F Him"....

Had ANY white person been asked the same question and responded with "F Him"....

Every black person in social media and with any power would be crying racism  and using that as yet ANOTHER reason to riot

How do you expect him to respond?  Especially with their most important game in history tomorrow

For the record...I see nothing wrong with what he said.  I played sports all my life and through D-1 schools...Ive heard this 1000+ times.

What I do have a problem with, is the world today and the HUGE issues that happen everyday and why our world is terrible and just a disaster getting worse everyday and every year.

My main point is, had the situation been reversed with a white person answering the question that way, like I said even with just a "F Him"....

Not one person can honestly deny this story wouldnt be all over the news, papers, shows, social media with everyone talking how racist that player was, school was and etc....

Thats the real problem here and in the world today.  Its amazing how different things are played out with different races

You have to ask yourself, why would he say it to begin with. Blacks lose every day, whites lose every day. He needs to take a sensitivity class at the very least, so just maybe, he'll understand remarks like his can and will define how he is viewed by his peers. If he doesn't care, well then, most of us will continue to view him as nothing more than a black racist who just happened to get caught on tape hating on whitey. No more excuses, Calipari and Kentucky lets see you step up to the plate. (but I highly doubt it)

Just trying to figure out the rules of street slang.
