This is a black thing.
And it should be rather easy for any American to understand.
Regardless of the spin coming from Miami Dolphins players, there is no excusing suspended guard Richie Incognito's use of the N-word during his threatening voicemail to a linemate, Jonathan Martin, as anything other than crude and race-hateful.
And way over the line.
Martin is bi-racial. Incognito called him a "half (racial slur)."
Yet several Dolphins -- including Mike Wallace, Mike Pouncey, Brent Grimes and Michael Egnew -- publicly defended Incognito while dismissing the racial disrespect.
According to The Miami Herald, the players are disturbed that Incognito is being portrayed as a racist.
What a shame. Poor Richie.
