good for Charles! Very pleased he was honored in this way.

Very disappointing that this thread was partially derailed over a stupid politically incorrect saying. Childish.

Mobb,

You know I like you as a poster, but a person doesn't have to be African American to find that term highly offensive. That post has bothered me since I read it yesterday. We're supposed to progress as a society and terms like that, regardless of context or intent, are anchors to extreme hatred. I can think of no usage of that term that is not highly derogative. By all means be real, but leave the hate in the past.

[hoosier]

Why get so riled up about black culture's use of the word "nigger"? What is offensive is not the word itself but the social context of deeply engrained racism in which it was used. When a black person refers another black person using that same word today, the intent as I understand it is not to bring up old wounds or play up racial divisions but basically to claim ownership over the word rather than allowing yourself to be defined by how other groups talk about you. Or, if you want a medical analogy, it's like a vaccine in which you voluntarily inject yourself with a virus in order to develop immunity to it.

What is so offensive about this? Is it because many of us have become comfortable with the idea that we're living in a post racial society, and little things like this keep bringing race back into the picture?

My apologies to whoever started this thread for having taken it even further off topic.

Woodson is a class act, and is constantly reliable. He had his struggles in the playoff game, as did the entire defense. Weather or not Fitz knocked down Woodson twice on purpose with no calls or not, woodson falling down in coverage, even man to man, is not typical and I doubt it's a concern for next season.

Through 16 games this year, woodson played at another level others can't match. He was clearly the all around best defensive player. All you need to do is look at our biggest win of the year... beating Dallas. One could point at Woodson and go "You are why we won this game". That is saying something coming from the CB spot.

All the credit in the world to Revis - he did win the best CB of the year award, and man to man I am not sure Woodson is as good. Still, overall, woodson is an all around beast, and is very hard to "take him out" of the game. Revis can be avoided, woodson can't.

Even in woodson's "bad" showing in the playoff game, he still forced a fumble from Fitz, which was a key play since our defense hadn't stopped AZ yet. That play showed why he is the best, even if he had some uncharacterisitc mistakes in the second half.

Apologies....Im certainly black (actually pro-black) and regardless of the obvious demographic on this forum i thought the vast majority of posters understood that in our culture the word is OFTEN used as term of endearment. I would bet a years salary that CWood himself uses it.

I'm sure most here have heard rap music, comedians, or black peers use this word in that fashion. There was actually a time when I wouldnt use the word because I felt that there's so much power in it and that it may have deleterious impact of some black ppl's sense of racial pride: especially within the population that I serve in the black community. Now I feel that there are much bigger fish to fry that have nothing to do with the use of that word, which is rampant in their daily living (e.g., sex abuse, education, decision-making, health issues, etc)

I will submit that perhaps I should use it less liberally because many ppl still cringe or it conotes a negative image

Not sure why a white person would be "offended" though. Hoosier may actually be making an excellent point. but its NOT pronounced with an 'er but an 'a and OF COURSE shouldnt be used by a respectful non-black
