Awesome

I'm trash? I am free to affiliate with my alma mater all I would like. I remember last week Justin Bieber was referred to as a thug (accurately). In case you missed it I stated that I misused the word thug so your degree must not have included reading comprehension. I am sure you are good with others referring to me as a racist though.

So I'm a racist for what reason? I have retracted my statement about the recruit being a thug.

Not really straws, you tried to make a point and failed , it's ok to admit when you are wrong much the same way that I did about the term thug. I am not familiar with the term urban manner. I am sure UND football is glad to have you.

Go to my feed, what is racist?

I wouldn't care at all because the implication of thug has nothing to do with the color of a persons skin. I agree that Richard Sherman is a very intelligent person and I don't think he is a thug.

A little different I am not the one with the N word all over my online profile and feed. I have already admitted that using the word thug from a literal sense was a poor choice of words. Using your advice, move on.

Sincere

Ok I'm at thug, why would I care?

I would guess that most reading his feed would think he was a thug. You are more of a disgrace to UND because you are supporting racist behavior.

Again my name along with implying I'm a racist.

Ridicule yes, imply they are a racist, no.

Thank you, but this message board is fascinating. I think I will stick around.

I have deleted the thug statement from Twitter. Happy? What is an urban manner? Note that a manor is a home, but we have already established that you struggle with the language.

It actually does matter for the purposes of my discussion with the other person over libel/slander. I agree that maybe I should have said "he seems ignorant and represents himself poorly using incendiary language" I never used the term to him. It didn't make me look bad until UNDBIZ used my real name, implied that I am a racist, and asked people to ridicule me. This message board made it personal.

The issue at hand now is that I didn't speak them, I wrote them. I agree that it is a recruiting thread,that I did not care about until my name was posted and it was implied that I was a racist.

I am sure you did. Did I speak anything about him? NO...the words were written, which is libel. Slander is an oral utterance. Nice try though.

I am glad that you are not implying that I am a racist. The original post that we are discussing did. Agree that my statement wasn't literally accurate. Also agree that the young man was making a very important decision, probably one he should have used spellcheck with. As far as slander, since I have never been physically in presence of the young man it would be difficult to make a slanderous statement about him. I believe you were looking for libel, not slander. He could have a libel claim against me if he could prove that my written words caused him to lose a scholarship. I don't think that is happening and just to be clear, Bubba please don't take the offer away from this young man because I wrote that it seems like he is a thug.

Probably more along the lines of a less literal meaning. I was thinking more like a gangster. I do not know the young man's criminal history so I guess implying that he is a criminal is my mistake. That being said, someone implying that I am a racist is the reason I am posting here.

Not sure what you are referencing.

Read his twitter profile and timeline.

Agreed, I will be happy to let it go and move on. I would like the post that implies that I was motivated by race removed.

Brilliant

Actually thanking Bubba was not meant to be sarcastic at all. I like Bubba and am very happy about the hire and the job he is doing. If there is a verbally ironic tone I apologize, but the tweet was right on point. My comment directed at UNDBIZ was to point out that I am not a racist and do believe that this particular recruit is not representing my University in the best light, unless you think that the N-Word is a good thing.

How? Please provide a basis for your absurd statement.
