At least a dozen Kenmore East High School girls varsity basketball players have been suspended and face other sanctions for using a racial slur as part of their regular pregame locker room chant.

The team's only African-American player this year, sophomore Tyra Batts, said she was shocked when she learned of the tradition before the team's opening game against Sweet Home High School last Friday.

"I said, 'You're not allowed to say that word because I don't like that word,'" she recalled. "They said, 'You know we're not racist, Tyra. It's just a word, not a label.' I was outnumbered."


Tyra added that her teammates would routinely make racial references and jokes during practice, including ones regarding slavery, shackles and "picking cotton." She said her coach, Kristy Bondgren, heard comments from other players about Tyra being black but was unaware of the pregame chant.

what the f***?

I was thinking about something while reading this.

Apparently the girl got into a fist fight with another player outside of practice. Both her and the person were suspended.

It was only after she was suspended that this came out. I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt, but it seems they're only going off her word. It IS possible that she made this all up as a way of retaliating for being suspended.

What bothers me is that my culture isn't even aware of why they're offended anymore. It's like religion at this point: people just grow up knowing they have to.

The day we stop getting offended is the day the word dies.

And for real, I wouldn't go outside and scream "n*****" at the top of my lungs or anything, but if your only justification for not using it is "I don't like it," maybe you should at least gather your thoughts and ask yourself why you don't like it.


If she's black and she doesn't like a racial slur against black people, I don't think she really needs to ask herself why because it pretty much goes without saying. I mean those girls are f***ing morons for thinking that was anything other than a really, really stupid idea.

Which isn't terrible advice, but we can't argue that words are ultimately meaningless unless you choose to give them weight. Language was invented and has continuously evolved for a reason.
