Allen Iverson on the NBA's decision to set language constrictions ; ban use of the word "Nigga" :

“This sh!t is fu$%ed up, if I wanna call Chris Weber my NIG, dawg, homie or whatever, that ain't nobody business - even white players is saying what’s up Nigga. Its all good now, it don’t hurt no more cause we rich now, this ain't slavery days.” -

that seems a little silly to me. perhaps rather than ban the language, which seems a little harsh, they could just sit the players down and encourage them to have discussions about engrained and institutionalized racism and how their language choices are affected by and have an effect on our culture.

but that's the lakesider in me, always looking for discussions!
