Pretty bad that one of the players that Nikki Moody claims was a target of racism by Bill Fennelly denies Nikki Moody's claims. So Nikki Moody is either making things up or lying. Which undermines her credibility. Nikki Moody also cites Brynn Williamson as being a target of mistreatment as well. Bryn Tweets her support for Coach Fennelly.

I suggest you read Coles comments closely. I don't read that she said Nikki lied.
She said she never perceived racism toward her or other players and the comments by staff about her mom were "mostly" positive. Not ONLY but "mostly".
I havent read where Brynn said Nikki lied either, just that she supported coach. Brynn's mom has said that'she is now aware of things her daughter shielded her from knowing.
Seanna's mom has been an avid supporter of coach, but Nikki and Seanna were best friends, so what gives?
I have not given up on people just pointing out a fact. To your question, I have lived in 12 different towns/cities here in Iowa and 5 outside of the state in my life. I have friends from a number of different races and you are very correct that they all look at words/actions differently. And while I agree we should be able to discuss the subject openly there are those who no matter what facts are given they will not change their mind.
In this article it sure does make it seem that way. And if being called a "thug" is a racial epithet, then how could Cole's statement that she was never treated with racism be true? Nikki Moody's version is not being substantiated by others she has named. That is a big problem.

I don't agree with it being fact but I appreciate your response and agree with you regarding those who are unwilling to change their minds. I'd add that the same argument goes for those who refuse to accept that verbiage can change meaning as time goes on.
Thug yesterday = neerdowell
Thug today = negative black stereotype
Sorry, but when it is someone like Tupac that defines it in non racial terms then we have to accept that it can be used in non racial terms
I can think of another word that Tupac could use that I can't use without it being offensive.
Nikki's problem is that the allegations about other players and Fennelly are being refuted by those players. Not a good thing when your allegations are not backed up, but instead are denied. And those same players come out in support of Fennelly. And Kidd Blaskowsky claims that Nikki Moody was the problem. And those same players should have no fear about coming forward, since they are done with basketball and Iowa State. Moody's credibility is in question.
No, because they are all guilty until proven innocent when it comes to racism and sexism.
Lol. While I understand your meaning, it didn't go over too well when Gmac reportedly called Homan a thug that almost led to a brawl between GMac and Morgan at UNI. But it shows how you use the word also makes a big difference. Dont' know if CBF used the word or not but if he said something like we need a thug on the boards thats' one thing. To call a player a thug in anger or critical manner is obvioulsly a lot different, especially a minority player imo. I'm old too and right or wrong, over the years I have come to associate the word thug as almost always something negative and often with inner city gangs. I don't think it makes CBF racist if it was used, but definitely a word any coach would have to be extremely careful on how it's used.
too bad Kidd wasn't bold enough to say all of this while she was happily being one of Nikki's minions towards Emiah at Nikki's command!! Real easy to say these things now when Nikki wasn't around! She was almost as bad towards Emiah as Nikki was because she was afraid of Nikki!!
rbingley, you have to remember, these are 18 to 22 year olds. All kids may not have been raised as well as yours. KB maybe had a few more hurdles in life than EM had growin up. I think she eventually got it figured out. It's too bad NM had such a negative impact on ISU womens BB and your family.
