Omg just stop plz. I always hear this same bs excuse with people who use "fag" and "gay" in like every sentence. There are soooooo many other words you guys can use to describe things/call people.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
If that argument made sense, white people could say that word, which they can't.

What an odd chant.

Well that explains that
Almost every thread with black people or a gay slur is an excuse for a lot of gaffers to use it if you haven't noticed.

this is upstate NY? damn
That is a shite chant.
You have a really low opinion of 'gaffers' if you think the average member is just chomping at the bit to post pointless slurs out of context.

not shocked... once you get north of Yonkers, it's like the south, but colder.
Had to look up where Buffalo was. New York? smh
White people can call me the n word all they want. It's all about the context. And yeah I've grown up with it being a racial slur but also with like being saying wasup.
Its like when these random mofos jumped on my bro cuz he called me a faggot. For one they where straight. For Two my brother is gay. For three he was just messing with me.
No, no. Everyone's out to get him, man.

I live in upstate NY and this doesn't shock me. Once you start reaching the suburbs that surround the cities of Rochester and Buffalo people start acting a lil.......... funny to say the least.

They can if used in a friendly context like a synonym for buddy, pal, or bro.
In this case it looks like a bunch of white girls were being racist in private and when a black girl came on the team and didn't know what the fuck was going on.

African americans use the term much too positively and openly for anyone to think otherwise. I'm a black man and NEVER say it, simply because I know what it means and context only goes so far in public. I correct anyone who calls me that, especially a black person. The word does have a meaning, and the meaning does not fit me. It's a product carried by the people who say it's disrespectful. I know everyone isn't like that, but a lot of us are.
It's pretty sad.

I very much agree with this but still these kids are WAY over the line.
That part from season 2 of The Wire comes to mind (with the white kids calling themselves "niggas").

They were, I agree. It's just sad that it's condoned on any level, from anyone. Especially the ones it originally targeted.

If this type of language were no longer acceptable in any avenue of society, such as that in mainstream music or specifically within black communities, would it lessen its use overall in our society? Would it actually make a difference
Any other word just wouldn't have done the job.
Perhaps. It won't do anything to sway a card carrying KKK member, but perhaps it might do something with dumb fucking idiots like this situation. Then again, everyone knows that this is an offensive term you don't say and that's only common sense so....maybe not.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
It's really interesting, where I work a lot of the young Hispanic guys call each other nigga all the time, and always drop it when they're talking about stuff. When I first heard them I kinda did a double take.
Almost every demographic use it especially in the city, freaking hilarious and sad when I saw a bunch of Russian thug wannbe teens using it.
As for the team how did this even start to be a chant. I know they say the coaching staff were unaware but I call bull on that, they must have had to know.
I don't really care about the word at all but if your gonna use it at least have it make sense.

Why? Why? I can't the fathom a reason why they choose that word over anything else? Even if there's racial context behind it, it still doesn't make sense. This blows my mind. It's like those people who say, "I'm not racist, but..."
But, but you're telling them that they need to make an effort to find other words to describe what they want to say like "weak", for example. That's just too difficult! And not as cool! Instead of them doing that, why don't you develop thicker skin? See below:
Eh, just because you two are okay with it, it doesn't mean other people are okay with it. Look at many of the responses here. And they are not obligated to feel okay with it or "grow thicker skin" if they don't feel like it. Also, the extent in which one has experienced being insulted with the word influence whether or not someone is okay with it.
Taboo. The word has been given such ridiculous power that these idiots get giddy just saying it.

Pretty much this. The double-standard surrounding the word isn't doing anybody any favors and just leads to unnecessary/pointless controversy. The word needs to be stricken from our (the black community's) vocabulary because I feel that our use of it gives it more power than it deserves.
Seriously this :lol

Ignoring all of the racial tomfoolery that comes with it, that is seriously the worst chant ever. I could totally see kids in high school making up something that dumb.
Kids are dumb is what I'm trying to say.

What make them think this is an acceptable thing to be chanting, what next the cheer leaders dancing in front of burning crosses

I think the implication is the nature of the beating they plan to give the other team, but I could be reading too deeply into it.
