What a classless person. Towns was asked a question about guarding Frank and Andrew's microphone picked this up, "Fu#k that Nig$#!" Where's all the outrage? Oh that's right, he was just upset.
Harrison's racial remarks about Frank

Sad that a comment like that could come out. Now if a duke player had said that.....
Cover of the NYTimes.

What's funny is he said it was in jest. Ha!
Take the n word out of the equation and what he was saying was "f*ck Kaminsky". How is that in jest? How can he claim he meant no disrespect?
Oh well.

Oh I'm sure he will be disciplined. Probably by dismissing him from the team and told that he would be wasting his time by finishing school. The draft is months away.
Where's Sharpton and Brown. The kid is a flat out thug. Plain and simple. Kentucky fans come on, what are your thoughts on one of your floor leaders?

Don't surpise me at all....it all starts at the top and their top leader is a total scumbag so why would his players be any different?
All the Harrison's do the entire game is cry and whine anyway....go to the NBA where someone will punch that punk in the mouth,get fined,laugh about it cause that person is making millions and go to the next play lol

I've never liked the Harrison twins. They're whiny little bit**es that think they're a lot better than they actually are.
The press conference only reinforced my dislike. Their classless behavior is a perfect match for KY.

Yea but he sincerely apologized and that is totally acceptable. Should be not punishment. I mean he not a racist or anything like that.
Hell they let one of the freshmen deck one of Wisc. players and even went to the monitor with everyone saying at minimum a flagrant 1 and made a no call. You really do not expect anything to come of this do you? F#$king trash just like the coach
The hilarious part is that KY fans ripped apart WVU for their sportsmanship after the game and during the press conference and called Cincy players classless thugs after that game.Originally posted by germantondevil:

Bottom line, the Harrison Twins are whiny, classless punks.
Calling Al Sharpton. Calling Jessie Jackson. Calling Mike Nifong. OFC
I chuckle at the vid of Harrison saying that but this ^^^ is an excellent point. Imagine the sheetstorm if a white player said the same thing. Heck , imagine the tsunami if a white DUKE player said it! Gawd. We'd never hear the end of it. Jus' sayin.'

Does anyone else find a problem with this tweet?
When I realized how this could be perceived I immediately called big frank to apologize and let him know I didn't mean any disrespect.
Like I am not sorry, just sorry we perceive it this way? My generation SMH

I saw an article that said Kentucky is going to investigate his comments but I don't really expect any punishment for him considering their season is over and most people are expecting him to enter the NBA draft.
Check this guy out. He's not the REAL Daxter Miles but he's givin' UK fans a ton of flack and , I gotta admit , I laughed at some of these. Guy's killin' it...

Being an AA myself and working with youth, unfortunate as it is, today's youth use the n-word in their everyday language among one another....from music/hip hop/comedy and etc....people of color have taken a horrible/ugly word and flipped its meaning....older people whom endured the word in its ugliest sense condemn its use, but it is common vernacular used by todays youth....sad as it is, its not racist, esp when used by AA, but yes if Kaminsky said it, yes Houston we would have a problem......i think saying the f-word got more attention than him saying the n-word from todays generation mindsets....
While yes, it is said as commonly as any word in the English language by kids and even young adults amongst and to friends, this was not Harrison and Kaminsky fooling around together on the bball court and talking shi* to each other in humor. This is an instance when he was apart from Frank, where he didn't think anyone would hear it and with the two not life long buddies as far as I know.
You can't play something like that off in jest cause it obviously wasn't in jest with all those things considered.
They would do another Duke Hate 30 for 30 about this one 3 word comment if any of our players had said this about any other player from another team, point black.

It was bad - but it was said under his breath and he was upset. He actually knows Kaminsky and had his number and called and apologized to him. It was wrong but sometimes people say things when they are upset that they shouldn't and if that's in his cultural vernacular - I understand.
What was worse, imo, was the UK players - Cauley-Stein and apparently the Harrison twins - walking off without shaking hands with the Wisconsin players.
No excuse there. I actually heard someone say, "Well, they are just kids they will learn" - that is BS because EVERY team has to do that every year. 38 other teams did that with UK all year long and they can't do that in their one loss?
Classless. And it shows through in Calipari's unwillingness to show class in a loss.
I would love it if JC never wins another title.

All i know for sure is if one of Coach K's players walked off the floor or cursed in any way in front of the press, there would be a swift and public reaction from the staff. Calipari obviously doesn't have the stones.
I understand what you are saying, but when commenting on a person from another race, using racial language like that is offensive and inappropriate. I don't like that language used in communication between two AA people either because I think it minimizes a serious problem in the history of our country--and one that still lingers today. However, when it is used in reference to a person of another race, then the reaction should be equal to that when the tables are turned (if a white person uses it against an AA).
If you want equality, you must demand equality. I do.
The term originated as a slur on blacks in America. It's not going to get an "equal reaction" if said in reference to a white guy. The reason being, it's not equivalent. Context matters, even if you don't think it should.
That said, Harrison is a loser.
he was in public and saying that under his breath is wrong. he said it so his teammate would hear it. there is no excuse for it. I teach and tell my students every day that that is not acceptable black or white. it cannot mean different things for different people. I totally disagree with anyone giving him a pass. because he was not joking. and what about the F word part. what if they said "fag" or something of that nature? is that acceptable? NO
I agree with everything you have stated here. We live in a society where kids today think it is okay to use certain words that no one should use. I have a several guys in their early 20's who work for me and then use the word "fag" all the time and I am constantly trying to get them to stop. One, because it is offensive to people and it is not a word that I think is pleasant to the ear. And two, because we have homosexuals who work in our store and I think that if they said it to them or about them HR would come down on me and my staff like a hammer.
In no way is saying f that n word about a white player a racial slur. Who here would be outraged in a white player said f that "(obligatory white slur)" about Harrison? But, I think worrying about the racial aspect is missing the entire point about the statement. It says alot about him, his coach, and his program. There is a significant lack of class. His comment is more about him being a sore loser who has not have to face any real consequences for his behavior and lacks leadership. America hates us and K, but you would never see a Duke kid make any disparaging comments in such a public forum against anyone. K is a leader. Cal is a glorified AAU coach.
Living in Kentucky and having an account on the evil empire that is Facebook i have a lot of friends on there that are Kentucky fans and literally one out of maybe every fifty has mentioned anything about Harrison's comment. Most aren't even talking about it, blows my mind, this is one of the biggest reasons i detest both the fans and the program. They wouldn't sleep if one of our Blue Devils said the same thing, regardless of whether it was amile or marshall, they would expect heads to roll. Just another reason i take such pride in being a Blue Devils fan, the university and coach K raise not only fantastic student athletes but also wholesome young men.
I think I am in the minority by saying what Harrison did was not that bad. It the overly sensitive, special interest groups that have make anything you say more than it is intended to be. Harrison surely needs to be better versed while in a press conference with 100 microphones in your face, but I have said bad things about someone who has just beaten me on the court.
Now if a white guy said this about a black guy (even if he knows them and they are friends and have called each other this for years), there would be civil leaders, special interest groups organizing protests and the media would be drooling over the coverage they could take advantage of.

I don't think this should be a true reflection on the UK Coach or the entire basketball team. Harrison said what he said because he knew it was ok for his peers that were present to hear it and it made him sound like a tough guy. Many of the UK players seem to have an attitude we don't approve of. The double standard that our black leaders and leaders in Washington and the media have chosen is sad but I certainly understand why those of color use this as it's the simplest form of revenge allowed them and thats just so wrong. Everyone on here is just so cautious about their comments about this and how someone will perceive them to be racist and thats totally BS. Many Blacks as well some of my race talk this way and the only thing surprising was he said it on National TV due to a few seconds of stupidity. Its just how pathetic language has become for many Americans and part of the lack of respect of others that really gets to me but his comments should not surprise anyone except where he said it. Where this county has gone and the liberal BS of its direction should turn everyones stomach just like Al Sharpton turns mine.
