Fuck CBS
See. here's where I start to have issues though.
I'd be willing to bet that the Thunder announcer is like the rest of us on here. Never heard it used in a negative fashion and had no idea that it could be offensive to anyone. To me, that is a "teachable moment" and not something that needs a suspension or any kind of disciplinary action.
A kind of funny story that was a teachable moment for me. In high school I had a black friend. One day I was messing around and came up behind him and gave him a little slap on the back to scare him.
Dude yells out "Ouch, my sunburn." I start busting up laughing thinking he's making a joke. He says "No man, I'm serious." I said "Black people can get sunburned?" He says "Yes, and it can be worse than on white people because it's harder to see."
I still see him from time to time and we still laugh about it.
I basically agree with you. There's a disconnect and he had no idea and that's why I believe he shouldn't be suspended.
And hell, I'm black and I didn't know we get sunburns either lol.
