    I don’t let my kids listen to this rap music so they don’t learn that word.

    I see the problem here. You’ve been here a long time and were passed over as columnist. After your lengthy diatribe about this patent injustice I cannot see why. Perhaps you can apply to be GC snowflake or any number out outrage titles

    Sometimes people do live in bubbles because of stuff like this. Why risk being called a racist? It costs good people jobs and careers because of this fear. People will not hire certain races because of the fear that if it doesn’t work out for the implications might be that it’s because of race. Same thing happened after the me too movement. Some people were scared to hire females though well qualified. It’s a very fine line we all walk. I don’t know what the solution is but stuff like this only sets it back.

    It’s not the whites out there selling this word whether it be through music or politics. There is a whole industry dedicated to its use. I wish it would go away.

    And some companies will not hire certain races because they're bigots who don't like, respect or trust people of that race. It doesn't feel good, eh? Now you know how those races have been feeling all this time.

    No I don’t know how they have been “feeling all of this time”. Only a racist thinks more racism is a good thing. I’m advocating for a world where we look forward not backwards.

    Well, we all saw how cancel culture (led by conservatives) ended Colin Kaepernick's career, so we know it's not a hoax.

    Well, that won't be in this lifetime. Especially not in a country where a lot of people wish to sweep its racist past under the rug and remove it from being taught in schools.

    Good grief if you knew anything about football you’d know Kaepernick sucked. If he had been at least serviceable he’d still be on a roster.

    Earning tenure as a faculty member in higher ed is a differently rigorous process than earning an athletic scholarship.

    Who is sweeping our racism from the past under the rug? Answer no one.
    Who won’t stop bringing up the past to divide our diverse population? Answer: white libbies.
    You need to ask yourself why you want to stoke a fire that is trying to burnout?
    You believe you’re doing a good thing, but it’s downright evil.
    Either your ignorant or you’re a sick dude.

    And let's not forget how the same conservatives destroyed Kathy Griffin's career.

    I also know Kaepernick was publicly called out and denigrated by the President of the United States, and the president warned NFL teams not to sign him. That sounds like conservative cancel culture to me. Let me know when the current president speaks out on Stokes and encourages other schools not to sign him.

    Well in that case, I guess Stokes' UF career came to an end because he wasn't good enough.
