ESPN has fired Numbers Never Lie host and former NFL star Hugh Douglas after he purportedly called his co-host Michael Smith a “house n*gger” and an “Uncle Tom” during a drunken confrontation earlier this month. During the National Association of Black Journalists Convention earlier this month in Orlando, Douglas allegedly shouted the slurs at his co-host.

There is a letter missing from N*GGER. I can’t f*gger out what that letter is. Can I buy a vowel? If we see that word in it’s entirety will our heads explode?

My wife is a High School Principal. She heard a student call another 'nigga' and knew it was the 'friendly' version. She called him down quick, and where the others around him noticed (not in a shaming way, but they knew she called him on it).

When he protested that they "always call each other that", she responded "We are all (mascot_here)s. No one uses that word on our campus. No one. I don't care what color you are or they are.".

From the word on campus, the story spread and she made an impression on the students. They respected her for her stance.

Oh, dear. The co-host must be a Black conservative.
