lol someone hood slipped. Blame the person disrespected and ignore the offender. How about not responding and real Clemson fans can keep your ilk hidden.
Two guys whitesplaining it is the same when a black person and a white person use the N word. This board brings out racial ignorance and pure stupidity.
A lot of truth in Chris Rock’s statement there...
Speaking of Chris Rock...did anyone else see where Jimmy Fallon had to issue a public apology for a sketch on SNL back in 2000 bc he dressed up like Chris Rock?
20 years later, everyone was offended...except Chris Rock...
Welcome to 2020
For what it's worth, Pearman has been telling people close to him he expects to get fired today.WEDNESDAY UPDATE
By: Larry Williams
As you all know, yesterday the news broke that Clemson assistant football coach Danny Pearman used a racial slur while coaching former tight end D.J. Greenlee during a 2017 practice.
Here's what we know on this as of late this morning:
-- When Matt Connolly of The State first reported Greenlee's account of Pearman using the N-word three years ago, Clemson officials set about doing its homework to try to recreate exactly what happened.
-- Then came the statement from Pearman, released by football communications director Ross Taylor, saying Pearman repeated a racial slur initially used by D.J. Greenlee "when trying to stop the word from being used on the practice field."
Thereafter, The State posted an updated story after another conversation between Connolly and D.J. Greenlee. In this story, Greenlee gave a clarified version of events as he recalled them. In this account, Greenlee recited the following practice exchange.
Pearman thought Greenlee missed a block during a rep "and was being a coach at the time and he was just trying to figure out what was going on."
Milan Richard asked Greenlee about the exchange, according to Greenlee.
“(Milan) was asking me what happened? ‘What’s coach getting on to you about?’” Greenlee told The State. “I was just like, ‘Man I got the (n-word) that came in my gap.’ I was talking to my teammate. That was all that was said. Then the next thing you know coach Pearman starts coming over there. He was repeating what I just said. He’s like, ‘(n-word) this, (n-word) that. The (n-word) wasn’t there.’”
While Greenlee pointed out that Pearman wasn't calling him the n-word, the clarified account from Greenlee doesn't seem to match the account Pearman gave in his statement, that he was merely using the word in asking Greenlee not to use the word.
This apparent contradiction is a new layer to the story that Clemson officials are dealing with today. We are told Swinney spoke with D.J. Greenlee multiple times yesterday. D.J.'s father Larry is a longtime strength and conditioning coach with Clemson's football program.
-- One pertinent question is whether Swinney reported this incident to his superiors when it happened. We have not been able to confirm that he did.
-- It is worth noting that Swinney expressly forbids use of the n-word on Clemson's practice fields and inside the football offices.
-- The obvious question now is whether Swinney and/or athletics director Dan Radakovich will issue a statement in light of the new layer to the story and its overall place in the national sports conversation amid the tumult from the George Floyd killing.
-- As of late last night we did not get the impression that Pearman's job was in serious danger. But as we all know, circumstances can change.
One thing we do know for sure: This probably isn't going away anytime soon.
-- We will certainly keep you posted as we know more.

Ahhh yes...the good ole fashioned “I ain’t got anything better to say so I’m gonna call or insinuate that someone’s a racist” play...
#1 play in the liberal playbook...
But you see, libs have played that card so much to the point that it doesn’t bother me anymore. I know who I am & what I’m not & that’s good enough for me...
I’ve also come to realize that the people to scream racism the loudest tend to be the most racist people in the room
Way to go DJ...
Stir up a shit storm for the program that gave you an opportunity...
Then tuck your tail & leave. Smh
What a dumb take. His comments put the whole thing in perspective otherwise we'd still have half the world speculating what happened. Also because you are given an opportunity does not mean you are suddenly expected to listen to a white coach say the n word.
Fixed it for you.Ahhh yes...the good ole fashioned “I ain’t got anything better to say so I’m gonna call or insinuate that someone’s a racist” play...

You act like “racist” is some sort of schoolyard insult that has no substance or merit to it. It’s not.
I have found that people who believe that tend to be...the most racist people in the room.
“It was me and my teammates talking, and he felt the need to come over and tell me how to talk.” From DJ per the article.
So if this is true, then Danny Pearman was reprimanding him for the use of the word. Not the best form, but...

Reading pages and pages of comments, it is no surprise to find which regular posters are most dismissive of the charges against Pearman. Same ol’ tired (racist) set of posters who idolize the man in the White House because he is so much like them.
Seems like I am in the minority here but after the last decade of decisions by Dabo I trust his judgement to do what is right DESPITE the people on this board or people in talk media..
I won’t buy into that. If the word is so evil that it can get someone fired even when used in the context we are discussing here, then there should be consequences if anyone uses it. There are words that I find extremely offensive personally, those words are the very last words you will hear come out of my mouth, ever. To do otherwise I see as being a bit disingenuous.
Dumb take?
So you’re taking Greenlee’s word as gospel?? Like I’ve said, stories tend to get exaggerated over time...human nature.
Saying The (n-word) wasn’t there.’” is not reprimanding him for using the word. If he was just reprimanding why did he have to use the word 3 times?
You do know that Kenyon Tuttle was the one who put this whole story in motion, NOT DJ, right? D.J. has said from the beginning that he’s moved on from it, he holds no grudges, he didn’t like it at the time and still doesn’t, but that he’s put it behind him. I would surmise that he’s none too happy w/ Tuttle for throwing it back out there like this.
Probably more like 99.5/100
but I do think Dabo has this policy.
this word isn’t supposed to be used in HS games. The refs are supposed to penalize players for using this word.
For the billionth time, yes it is okay for black people to use the word. It's their word, it's their right
And it is not okay for white people to use it
I think they teach this in freaking Kindergarten now. Unbelievable that some adults still don't get it
Historically and almost 100% of the time it's used by a white person it's from a perspective of hatred and racism. Ask yourself this, do you think the same applies when black people use the word colloquially? The answer should be fairly obvious.
That said, I do not necessarily think the incident as described by all parties thus far is necessarily grounds for Pearman to be terminated. I don't know Danny Pearman at all, but i find it hard to believe Dabo would have been able to build the culture that people rave about at Clemson if an overly racist coach was on the staff. This is an awful situation all around, but Dabo has more to consider here than the fallout of keeping him on staff.
Preferably a minority hire at that....what’s Brandon Ford doing these days?
hell bring Rendrick Taylor in..wasn’t he on the GA coaching track?
you are unequivocally the worst poster on this board. It would be a much better place without you
Ohhhh man if a person of any race ever calls me "colloquially" we're gonna be chuckin' knucks
what real reason does dj have to lie about this his dad is on the staff, he wouldn’t risk his fathers job for nothing. People need to realize the program is not perfect it’s not free of flaws.
This might be the most offensive thing I've read in this entire 4 page thread. Congratulations
haha how so? You offended you don't own the rights to a word?
Ok, then what does DJ mean when he says this? This was quoted in the article.
“It was me and my teammates talking, and he felt the need to come over and tell me how to talk.”
You're offended that someone said it's not okay for white people to say the n word?
Dabo grew up with more obstacles to overcome than 90% or more of the minorities on the team. He is the perfect mentor and he is darned good at it, yet political correctness will end up destroying all he is doing. His statement was fine, if you have issues with it you are looking for reasons to be offended and are in fact part of the problem.
White privilege and police brutality as a racial issue are false narratives not supported by data. If you have data that supports these narratives please provide them. I am not above admitting that I am wrong.
you just don't want to listen. The ENTIRE black community is trying to tell us it's a huge issue. And so many still won't listen to them. It is unbelievable
White privilege is not something that can be quantified, so that point is irrelevant. And if you don't think police brutality disproportionately impacts black people then you're just wrong.
