In 2020 with everything going on since Trumpf got elected (Charlottesville etc), that guy had to know that saying "blaggie" was too close to THE LINE and crossing into a grey area of racism where you do not want to be
Blaggie doesn't sound like something you'd ever want to say in public, much less to a Black person's face

I never thought it was ok.
Do you think lsu tigers being named after a Confederate regiment is ok?

Are you the guy who called Texas recruits the N word on Twitter? My memory is hazy this morning.

Really?
The phonetic sound of the word TIGERS elicits a much different response from Blacks or anyone else for that matter than the phonetic sound of the word Blaggie

I prefer Swamp Kittens personally. Also nice way to deflect from an Old Ag calling someone a "Blackie or Blaggie"

I am all for switching the name the "Bayou Bengals". But I'm sure someone would be upset about that as well.

Answer me this.. I see the word "whitey" everywhere these days and never a word is said. I've seen "KILL WHITEY" many times as well.
Is that okay with you? THEY'RE EXACTLY THE SAME THING just to let you know, well, except the "KILL WHITEY" part.. that's a little different.
But that's quite okay with everyone for some idiotic reason.

Of course it ok to these mentally deranged people.
Double standard is a concept they just don’t understand nor care to acknowledge.

we’ll never move on as a society with people like that still around. it is a shame.
makes sense when you look at the school associated in this incident though. a bumpkin farm school.

I think folks don't quite understand what the word racist means. It requires intent to belittle someone for no other reason than skin color. Do I think the old man said something that could be construed as racially insensitive, absolutely, but I am almost certain his intent was not to denigrate someone based on skin color. This goes far beyond what is happening at A&M, this entire country needs to relearn what the actual term racism or racist means because right now we've bastardized the word and in all honesty it has lost a lot of its power. A statue is not racist unless the intent of it's construction was to demean others because of skin color. Offense does not equal racism without intent

Try and guess which one of those is me.
