A fan is at fault for making all the Hurricanes football players from participating on twitter due to a racially charged tweet.

I found this guy earlier today on twitter and now everyone has received word.
www.twitter.com/motown305 Read his tweets for yourself. I've screencapped them in case he deletes them.
Joe Rose wants him to call into the show tomorrow.
www.twitter.com/richiehedd is mine.

Moron.

Apparently he doesn't like black head coaches either. Uses the n-word but isn't a racist. Great guy.
Here's a classic.

I'm impressed the guy could make time out of his busy schedule (banging his sister, shooting critters from his porch, meth) to learn the magic of the internets and tweet.

We fit into a different group of stereotypes. -
The day hispanics can't bang their sisters is the day I stop being hispanic!

I'm all for freedom of speech, but I have to admit my patience gets tested at times like this.
This is up there with that preacher that wanted to burn Qur'ans on 9/11. Sure, you're free to do it, but should you? :pity:NaboCane likes this. -
Something that I can never figure out is how people like that make derogatory comments about blacks but tend to speak in Ebonics. -
As far as whether or not it's racist.... I guess it depends whether or not it was a German-speaking person using it. In your case I'm guessing not :lol:
But IMO the bigger point is calling someone "black" - is not racist. -

But racism is more intrinsically woven into the fabric of the South than any other region. I recall as recently as 20 years ago when I was a salesman covering central FL, driving into a town on a Monday morning and seeing bunting and other parade stuff lying around, and being told with an icy stare that it was from a Klan rally the day before. Proudly.
And like I said, I heard the word "spic" directed at me pretty much every day as I grew up, and the n-word being a part of the everyday vocabulary of both white and Cuban people around me. I knew lots of folks from the Northeast who were fairly amazed when I told them that, because they grew up hardly ever hearing those types of racial pejoratives.
edit: and the word "Schwartzer" does mean "black" in German but it most certainly is pejorative when used derogatorily by racist Jews. -
i think he got trolled
