Anyone can find any word offensive. It isn't up to anybody to judge what is or isn't offensive to another. Pasty is comparable to darkie and cracker to *ninja*. I was once banned for quoting dave chappelle but have seen others use the dreaded n word in casual conversation. There is a double standard. Ivan is spot on.

To the point of this apparent "double standard"... The problem, Ivan, is that when you're talking about racial slurs, it's up to that race whether the word was used in an offensive manner. In this case, one non-black person insulted another non-black person, and the second guy's response to that was to respond with racial slurs and epithets towards black people.

What double standard is there? He didn't know PSC wasn't black, but due to his already deeply embedded biases, he assumed he was black and insulted him with derogatory, racist words about black people. The other problem is, this country wasn't founded on the sweat and blood of white people through hundreds of years of systematic slavery and discrimination. So, great... Call me a cracker, milkshake, pasty, pinky, what have you... None of those words are as loaded or as hurtful as the ones been used to oppress and discriminate against blacks for the entire existence of our country.

So, it's a double standard when an idiot assumes another guy is black so he unleashes some deeply seeded racial slurs about black people?

The dude plays water polo, LOL. Slip of the tongue.

I have already stated I do not condone his actions. Frankly I'm disappointed in Bwood for saying these things.

The double standard remains. You said yourself you are not offended by racial slurs. But not everyone is you. People interpret things differently, regardless of race. This very thread is an example of how lenient or how severe the punishment can be depending on which race is insulted.

It's a sensitive issue, but it seems a lot more lop sided depending on the victim.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
