It’s okay if you want to use the word... but stop pretending to be offended when somebody else uses it. 

If you and your friends use the word, or your favorite artist uses it...: that’s awesome! Good for you! But your the fool if your somehow offended when somebody else uses it. Your problem obviously isn’t with the word... it’s with other races. 

There is no disputing that... it’s a fact. 

Nobody is saying that you don't know a white person, and it honestly doesn't matter if your uncle married a white girl.  The word is either offensive or it's not.  It's unreasonable and moronic to think that you can use it yourself, and then be offended when somebody else says it.  Why can't you admit that you don't have a problem with the word, as evidenced by your continued usage...  Your problem only arises when a person of a different color than yourself utters it. 

That is textbook racism, my man.  

I stand shoulder to shoulder with everybody else that condemns the use of that word.  What I can't stand is associating with a weak mind that believes the offensiveness of a word can be judged by the color of the person using it, or whether it's pronounced with an "a" or an "er." 

It's like dealing with two year-olds, I swear. 

I heard from an unreliable source that we should be getting at least one kid back from injury tonight... I don't think he's enough of a gamechanger to win it by himself, but I'm hoping it's the lift that that the team is needing.  I think we can make a good game of it with some kids back, but if we are still missing a few key players you guys should move on to face Carthage.  I honestly don't even feel right about "making the playoffs" with a 2-6 record.   

I don't know... my player graduated last year. BC Fooball will usually post on FB the day before the actual game. That's where I get my info. 

There are only two divisions higher than us.  5A and 6A.  So, no, we don't play any 6A or 7A(?) schools.  You probably haven't heard this, but we were the second smallest school in our district.... For 2015.   In fact, we will be the smallest team in our District next year when Jasper drops back to 4AD2.    We regularly play (and beat) teams in our district that are in the 1050 student range, which is considerably larger than our 750 or so kids.  In fact, you could add the entire Newton high school to our rolls, and still would not be as large as some of the teams in our district.  Think about that.  If we combined BC and Newton into one school, we still wouldn't be as large as LCM, Cleveland, or Huffman, all of whom we beat this year. Our collective GPA would suffer, though.  So the question is, how many times this year did we face teams that were from larger schools than ours?  7 out of 11.  

Also, we haven't played WOS in two years....
