Irv Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 What do you think about Kyle Larson using the N word. Do people deserve a second chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) In NASCAR? No. His career is over. He was an idiot for using it and to use it instead of, say, a swear/dirty word suggests he probably uses it a lot.

Mark80 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) Its 2020. No f'n way. The dude got caught on a public forum. Just think about how many times he thinks it and says it in private. And, to top it all off, no sponsor will ever touch him again. Edited April 19, 2020 by Mark80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaoulDuke79 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'm still trying to find the context which it was used. From what I read there was an issue with the radio, or some type of communication problem then he used the N word. Did he call someone the N word? When he used it, didn it end in an "a" or and "r"? I'd like to hear the live audio if anyone has a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Gonna be long road to recover from that one. Dumb move on his part. However, at 27 he's probably already made more money than I ever will, so he'll probably be ok not being in the public eye for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like saying to a friend, "hey, dick.head." Except he used the N word. That's not good. Edited April 19, 2020 by Gugny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2020, that doesn't really matter It's something that everyone knows they should say and only acceptable between members of the African American Community. Whether or not that 'fair' or right may be debatable, but today it's not something you say or you may suffer consequences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, but context is always important no matter what if you want to get the entire picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fine. He said something dumb. He'll have to live with it. There are some words that carry more weight than others. That's pretty much where I am with this topic.

But when someone says, casually, "hey, n word," it's a lot worse. The first is an attempt at humor in poor taste. The second is indicative of something more, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 This may have worked. Archie: All right, all right, I apologize. Otto: You’re really sorry! Archie: I’m really really sorry, I apologize unreservedly. Otto: You take it back! Archie: I do, I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future. Otto: OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto: OK. I love that Kevin Klein won an Oscar (Best Supporting Actor) for Otto. It is, in fact, his only one. I looked that up to see if he’d won another and saw that he and Phoebe Cates married in 1989 and are still together. Interesting couple. To continue that tangent, my favorite Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actress is Marisa Tomei for My Cousin Vinny. It is also her only one.

If your not African American/Black, its not looked at as being acceptable to say and its well know that it shouldn't be used. If you decide that you want to continue using the term, whether it be in a joking or serious matter, its typically viewed as the same thing.....
