Harrison is on Duke. The previously undefeated NCAA team who just lost an emotional game.

During the press conference, Harrison's brother Karl was asked about defending Frank Kominsky of Wisconsin.

Andrew Harrison had a live mike in front of him.

Andrew (who is black) mumbled under his breath (but audible) "F... that N..."

Kominsky is white.

First, I think it's not a big deal.

Harrison should apologize, and he did.

It's an emotional game, and he's just a college kid.

It was wrong, but it shouldn't define his life.

But turn it around.

What if the white Kominsky said the exact same thing about Harrison?

I'd still feel the same way: wrong, but not a huge deal. Apologize and deal with it.

But we all know it wouldn't be that way.

What say you?

Kidding aside unfortunately we are in a place where the solution would be to define him for lif or pillor him rather than easing up the other way.

It's like in a union shop when someone complains that their cube is smaller than someone else's. The solution is rarely to increase the size of the cube, but rather to shrink the other persons cube in the name of union protection.

Or to pass unnecessary laws in response to other unecessary laws.

Um Harrison is on Kentucky. Also his brother's name is Aaron. I agree that it would be a much larger deal if Frank the Tank had said that. Remember the uproar surrounding. Riley Cooper of the Philadelphia Eagles? I think he was suspended for a short period of time and had to take sensitivity training.

Words are just words. Freedom of speech has been trampled on as of late. So has freedom of thought. I would much rather allow someone to make a derogatory comment without repercussion or need to apologize that see a decline in freedom of speach.

Freedom of speech is just fine. No government will take action against Harrison or Cooper.

But our skin has gotten thin.

Frank Kaminsky (44) loses control of the ball while being guarded by Andrew Harrison (5). (Brian Spurlock / USA Today)

Kentucky’s Andrew Harrison found out the hard way that nothing said during a post-game press conference is ever really private.

An expletive and racial slur directed at Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky was picked up by microphones as Harrison sat, disappointed, and tried to explain Kentucky’s first loss in 39 games. Harrison was seated with several teammates at an interview table when a reporter asked Karl-Anthony Towns about Kaminsky, saying: “Karl, could you talk about Kaminsky and what if anything is unique about defending him?” Near the end of the question, Harrison covered his mouth and mumbled, “[Expletive] that [racial slur].” Naturally, video cameras caught it and social media lit up.

By Sunday morning, Harrison, 20, was apologizing to Kaminsky on Twitter and saying that he had called “Big Frank” to apologize, adding that he used the words “in jest towards a player I respect and know.”

Both Harrison and his twin brother and teammate, Aaron, skipped the postgame handshake line with Wisconsin, too, but it was Andrew Harrison’s comment that drew attention away from that slight. A spokesman for the Wildcats said that the school would speak with Harrison.

“We have no comment until we have had a chance to evaluate it,” Eric Lindsey said.

Exactly what Kentucky will do is unclear, given that Harrison may be heading off to the NBA.

It's an interesting post though. Been readin more. My favorite defense of it is

He didn't use a term that is offensive to whites and uses that term towards everyone. Whites only use it towards blacks. If big Frank had called Harrison a cracker it wouldn't be, a big deal.

Do you know any white guys that call everyone crackers? Lol.

I've fought Double Standards all my life. Ive come to learn there is not much of anything I can do about it, so I give up.

Of the advantages that go along with being a middle class white guy in America, I'll live with the inequity of not being able to say 'nig-ger' much and carry on enjoying the advantages of being white.

You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge

ZRX1200:

Straight outta the Suburbs, crazy **** named ZRX1200.

From the gang called CBidders Wit Attitudes

When I'm called off, I got a sawed-off

Squeeze the trigger and bodies are hauled off

You too boy if you **** with me

The police are gonna have to come and get me

Off yo ass, that's how I'm going out

For the punk motherfuckers that's showing out

CBidders start to mumble, they wanna rumble

Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo

Going off on a **** like that

With a gat, that's pointed at yo ass

So give it up smooth

Ain't no telling when I'm down for a jack move

Here's a murder rap to keep you dancing

With a crime record like Charles Manson

AK-47 is the tool

Don't make me act the motherfucking fool

Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe

I'm knocking CBidders out the box, daily

Yo weekly, monthly and yearly

Until them dumb motherfuckers see clearly

That I'm down with the capital C-P-T

Boy, you can't **** with me

So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck

Cause ZRX1200 is crazy as ****

As I leave, believe I'm stomping

But when I come back boy, I'm coming straight outta the Suburbs.

teedubya :

Yo Ren

tailgater:

Whassup

teedubya:

Tell em where you from

tailgater:

Straight outta the Suburbs, another crazy ass CBidder

More punks I smoke, yo my rep gets bigger

I'm a bad CBidder and you know this

But the ****-ass CBidders won't show this

But I don't give a ****, I'mma make my snaps

If not from the records, from jacking or craps

Just like burglary, the definition is jacking

And when illegally armed it's called packing

Shoot a **** in a minute

I find a good piece of **** and go up in it

So if you're at a show in the front row

I'mma call you a bitch or dirty-ass ho

You'll probably get mad like a bitch is supposed to

But that shows me slut, you're composed to

A crazy CBidder from the street

Attitude legit cause I'm tearing up ****

tailgater controls the automatic

For any dumb CBidder that starts static

Not the right hand cause I'm the hand itself

Every time I pull a AK off the shelf

The security is maximum and that's a law

tailgater spells tailgater but I'm raw

See, cause I'm the motherfucking villain

The definition is clear, you're the witness of a killing

That's taking place without a clue

And once you're on the scope, your ass is through

Look, you might take it as a trip

But a CBidder like tailgater is on a gangsta tip

Straight outta the Suburbs

8trackdisco:

teedubya is his name and the boy is coming

teedubya:

Straight outta the Suburbs

Is a brother that'll smother your mother

And make your sister think I love her

Dangerous CBidder raising hell

And if I ever get caught, I make bail

See I don't give a ****, that's the problem

I see a motherfucking cop, I don't dodge him

But I'm smart, lay low, creep a while

And when I see a punk pass, I smile

To me it's kinda funny, the attitude showing a CBidder driving

But don't know where the **** he's going, just rolling

Looking for the one they call teedubya

But here's a flash, they never seize me

Ruthless

Never seen like a shadow in the dark

Except when I unload

You see I'll get over the hesitation

And hear the scream of the one who got the lead penetration

Give a little gust of wind and I'm jetting

But leave a memory no one'll be forgetting

So what about the bitch who got shot, **** her

You think I give a damn about a bitch, I ain't a sucker

This is an autobiography of the TDub

And if you ever **** with me

You'll get taken by a stupid dope CBidder who will smother

Word to the ****

Straight outta the Suburbs

Damn, that **** was dope
