October 9, 20205 yr He was just trying to act cool, a pasty faced white boy (sure, go ahead and say I am a racist- I don't care- it's funny, because I was called that once. I didn't get angry- I laughed my a** off because it sounded so funny to me at the time) trying to act hip hop n gangsta. I'm not saying it was right. I'll tell you what is an issue to think about, though... say a white guy just so happens to really love rap n hip hop, and they keep hearing two words in particular dropped over and over and over- the N word that ends with an A, NOT an R, and the F word. I mean like thousands of times, over and over and over. ANY human being, and even some Martians who hear certain words or phrases repeatedly are going to say them eventually. That's just reality. And if a white person slips and says it- after hearing it over and over and over again because they love the music, they are suddenly a racist, when in actuality, they really aren't- they love the black culture and the black cultures music. So either the white person stops listening to music he loves, or blacks need to stop saying that stuff if they don't want it repeated. NEITHER is going to happen- that's just reality, man. I wish we could all try to understand each other more. Touchy situations. Sigh.

If its so racist maybe they should stop blasting it in every other rap song?
October 9, 20205 yr This has to be a fake tweet... "My son has been a lifelong Nate Gerry fan and the fact that he’s using the "N” word in this social climate is heart wrenching to him. Something has to be done or I’m never coming to another game ever again!!!!!!!! @Eagles
October 9, 20205 yr Non-story. Smart play by the fan though to hope it'd lead to his benching/cutting. If only we were so lucky.

October 9, 20205 yr Cut him. Straight up cut him. I don't care if it was a few years ago he still made those racist comments. And yes that would be the same for any player regardless of how good or bad they may be.
October 9, 20205 yr Wait if you use the word ending in 'a' it's racist? I've never use it but seriously thought it was socially acceptable. I think at this point I'm going to need a flow chart of what is offensive by/to whom if we are going to be villainizing people.
October 9, 20205 yr I can categorically state that when I was 17 years old I said and did a lot of stupid stuff.

I'm not gonna debate it. But any form of that word should not be said by a white person, I don't care where you were born or who you grew up with. Rap or any type of music is art. Just like there are statues of naked peeps. 24 minutes ago, 315Eagles said: That's probably real. There are quite alot of people out there who are easily offended nowadays. Millennials....
October 9, 20205 yr Clearly not racist. No hard R, all good..lol I want the man to lose his job , but not for this.

If the black community wants to call themselves that then so be it. But doesnt mean white, hispanic, asian, arabic, etc should use it.

Remember when Riley Cooper said the hard "ER" at the end, the girl holding the camera said it with the "A" after allowing him to say that. Both are just as bad in that case. But I do agree with you. It would be irresponsible for people to call Gerry racist for this incident alone. There is literally not proof or signs of this. Just bad decision by a kid on social media. Gerry should be cut but like you said not for these tweets, but for his terrible play. This is the last comment I will have for this topic. But I think MOST of us are in agreement.

Because of their stances in the past it makes it difficult to move now. Nevertheless Gerry might be a racist, but he absolutely sucks as a football player.

Lets not forget, he was also wearing the Eagles Alternate black uniform in that calendar also for February. Completely tone-deaf lol
