I know that’s right. North Carolina is, hands-down, the most racist state I’ve ever been in. I mean they fucking HATE black people there, for real.

u/newbrookland 3d ago

Is that the only "Southern" state you've been to, because you're missing out on some really elite racism.

u/Financial-Ad7500 3d ago

I grew up in the south, went to college in Vermont. I was shocked how public and blatant the racism is in the north. Are there a lot of old racists in the south? Obviously. You know who else there are a lot of in the south? Black people. The racists in the south kept to their little ignorant racist jerk off bubbles, in the north they were wayyy more open about it. I’ve never heard a single white person say the n word out loud in the south. Dozens of times in the north.

u/newbrookland 2d ago

Never lived up north, but you're right. I'm white, so I have the distinct privelege of hearing all the shit they wouldn't say around you.

u/Unfair_Finger5531 ☑️ 2d ago

Nope. I spent a good amount of my adult life in the South: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama—been to all of them.

And YET, it is the racism in NC that strikes me the most. It was so hostile. The only place similar was Miami, broward county, where the people were not only racist but generally unlikable and miserable.

That’s my take on the south. Glad I’m not there anymore and don’t plan on going back.

That said, now I’m in the southwest, and this is a whole new level of racism. So there’s that. But, no, I’ve lived all over this great nation. North Carolina for the win. The people are venal, nasty, aggressive racists.

Been to both. North Carolina stood out to me because the white people there were openly and aggressively hostile. In Alabama and Mississippi, they were just like “fuck off and get out of town before we kill you.” But In NC, they wanted a fight.

I don’t think her waiting is causing people to be mad at her, but definitely reason to question it. It’s not like this is a situation involving SA, where the victim would remain silent for numerous reasons.

The only scenarios i could imagine someone waiting to come out with this info would: 1. She still worked for the program until recently and no longer feared backlash. This could be verified if that were the case 2. She just made it up for any number of reasons

This is my thing. I almost can’t believe how one person saying something is taken as concrete evidence. We’ve never heard anyone else say it about him.

This is the most famous JJ Redick has ever been, the news probably reinvigorated the bad memory. Plus, it seems like Nash is an LA-native and most likely a lifelong Lakers fan. Probably hates that a known racist (from her own interaction) is now the head-coach of the teams she loves.

u/wildturkey116 3d ago edited 3d ago

Not really. People suppress bad memories all the time and there’s no telling what makes people finally get the shit off their chest. There’s women who don’t out their abusers because they feel like no one will believe them and fear of retaliation, then years/decades later when they finally do they get called liars and opportunists.

117

u/Shonuff_shogun 3d ago

Being called a slur and staying silent is so different from staying silent about abuse/ SA idk why you would even compare the two.

I could understand if she waited until after he left duke because he was their golden boy but why not come out any of the years he was in the nba? Or even after retirement when he started being a commentator?

If it was really a concern for her and she’s a Lakers fan like you said it probably would have been better to bring this up in the weeks leading up to Redick being named the Head Coach. It’s not like it was a big secret that he was on a short list for the job

Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford

They came out after someone they accused was nominated to the Supreme Court. A high position. But were otherwise unknown before that. I get that.

Redick was a 1st round draft pick. Could have said something then. A starter for several teams. Could have said something any time he got traded/picked up in free agency. Got hired at ESPN. Could have said "you're hiring a racist" to them at that point. Now that he's a coach, suddenly the memories come back and you want to go public?

Trust me, I'm a "believe women" type of guy, but I'm also "trust, but verify". I'll never say it's "odd timing" when somebody comes out and speaks against somebody that's about to get into a big position. But I will when this person has had several big positions but now you want to say something?

It would be "the same" if Clarence and Brett got chosen as CEOs of influential companies, voted in as senators, became heads of the FBI and CIA, etc. and it was all silence, and then at the SC nomination, Hill and Ford came out. And that's assuming you agree to an equivalence between SA and being called the n-word

A friend of mine once sent me a link to a reddit comment he'd made about Tiger Woods being an asshole to him and then stiffing him on the tip. I've known this dude his entire adult life so I pointed out he's never worked in the service industry and that it's the first time in like 15 years he mentions meeting Tiger Woods. Dude tells me his story's made up but probably happened to someone else, so he wasn't telling lies, he was telling somebody else's truths. If the accusation is on the internet and the person making it ain't famous enough to not gain shit from lying, I'm not buying it. Fuck JJ Redick tho, but that got nothing to do with this.

If you're in college and you're still using racial slurs then you're not just a sh-t head, you're a racist.

I’m assuming that what I’m going to say is pretty controversial but I’m just gonna say it anyway. I think that it doesn’t make much sense to bound people their character from 20 years ago if they have made clear strides to hold themselves accountable and make amends for their behavior. To my knowledge, Reddick has been vocal about how shitty he used to be in the past and how he has grown as a person. The only thing that we can ask for at this point is for him to acknowledge the trauma that he’s inflicted in the past and reach out to the original poster to make amends. If he fails to do this, then I see no issue with tearing him a new asshole.

It’s that if she’s said this before, it’s very strange how it’s just now getting attention.

She has now deleted the tweet since somebody exposed her for doing this to multiple other head coaches and got one of them fired in the past. All of you criticizing him over a complete lie are pathetic. This didn’t age well at all.

I am not buying that she's only been called the N word once in her adult life by a white person

I am confident no Black Person in America has made it past 18 without at least several incidents.

If I'm wrong please correct me, I'd love for this country to be better than my lived experience.

Ive been called a nigger twice in my 20+ years and I’ve been in the south the whole time. Both times by people who I assume died or will die from a meth/heroin addiction.

u/OddnessWeirdness 2d ago

I was called the n word maybe twice. Once for sure when I was a kid by another kid. I don’t remember any other instances of it being said to my face. That takes balls and most people don’t have them in that way outside of the south.

u/sycamotree ☑️ 2d ago edited 2d ago

Outside of the internet and the mentally ill I can only recall being called it in person once. I've heard it used plenty by non black people though

I grew up in a largely black area though. And I'm very large and generally people don't confront me.

I remembered when this white dude called me the n word in class in HS and the black dudes said nothing to him. It’s clear with a number of these comments as to why. Thank all of you who feel that she’s a liar or it’s irrelevant. You can forgive him but you don’t have to disparage her in the process.

u/Lurker242424 ☑️ 3d ago

Exactly. I remember my ACC school (not Duke) had a debate with the local HBCU about whether it was ok for white people to use the n word. The dudes said their white friends could🤦🏿‍♀️.

The fact that people are jumping to their deaths to discredit her just because she (allegedly) didn’t mention it before is interesting. Not surprising but indeed interesting.

I was a few years ahead of Reddick in college. The only thing I ever used to hear about him was how huge of an asshole he was to people.

I wondered why they were so specific about him not saying it on Clipped.

u/Bantamweight_Champ 3d ago edited 3d ago

Clipped makes it seem like JJ Redick is essentially Shaun King.

Of course, it's a dramatization, so we shouldn't ascribe full accuracy to it, but I do wonder to what degree his portrayal on there has any basis in his actual persona.

u/AntiRacismDoctor ☑️ 2d ago

In college, we had a group called TLC (the learning community) who would bring incoming Black freshmen to campus for two weeks to get acclimated to college life a bit (many of us were first gen attendees). During our short time of getting to know one another and growing closer, someone started a facebook page that was essentially a burn book on the reputations of everyone who attended TLC that year. It cut a lot of people really deep and sowed a lot of discord between relationships. One girl dropped out because of it. We all wondered who did it, and a lot of false accusations were made.

Years later, after we all graduated, one of the people from our TLC group would go on to become the creator of the Shade Room.

Its pretty obvious, at this point, that it was her. And just recently, our university hosted an award ceremony and gave her an award. And the award was given to her by our liaison, the same person who was grilling all of us about the toxic burn book that ruined a lot of good friendships.

I've been suspicious of reddick ever since I heard him talk about a controversial racial topic on his podcast. I was like 'considering dude spent his whole career workin around black folks he sure is comfy with shit that black folks are not.'

Ain't listened since.

I’ve definitely heard of racism happening on Duke’s campus, and some of their students are NOT considerate.

Another reason why women choose the bear is because society won't question whether or not the bear mauled you but it WILL question whether or not the man attacked you.
