Home » Letters to the Editor, Opinion  Personal blogs should be
professional  8 December 2011 By Kathleen Quinn 10 Comments  I
know that Alex Glaze writes a blog that is not part of The
Towerlight.  However, his work outside of the realm of your
publication is reflective of The Towerlight.  After Towson’s
football loss on Saturday, Mr. Glaze posted a blog post, “Should
Spadola Have Played?” targeting a Tweet he came across by a
Lehigh football player.  Glaze accuses Ryan Spadola of using a
“racial slur.”  Yet, a quick archive search of Mr. Glaze’s
Twitter reveals 19 Tweets to him from his followers using the
SAME term as a term of endearment, friendship and familiarity.
Mr. Glaze Tweeted back to these people in a friendly manner.
Why? Because he knows well that the word “nigga” is NOT a racial
slur.  It is very irresponsible to post a blog on the Internet
accusing someone of such a horrific thing … especially when the
accuser himself has been OK with the use of “nigga” on his own
social media page.
