Feeble? Not hardly. You say that I'm not making any responses, yet you have something to say right back to me everytime. Did I hit a nerve? Good.

Now answer the damn questions you yourself were blubbering about 10 pgs ago. Name your so called positive Black community leaders. If you don't want to claim the bad ones, which ones DO you claim? Let's start there.

Either step up to the plate or get off the field. You put it out there, but now can't back it up. Typical.



He got what his employers thought was a proper punishment. Would I have done the same? Probably not. But my name isn't MSNBC.
All he got was the backlash of a media feeding frenzy. Had he been Black, he'd still have a job. Had Al and all his cronies not ran off with the bait, he'd still have his job. So therefore, it wasn't the "market" that determined anything. It was the media frenzy and the political correctness that got him fired. If you think that's cool, good for you. I don't.



I'd probably be angry at first but I'd eventually get over it and move on. It's not the end of the world and I'm sure he knows that.
Why be angry? Didn't you just state above that his employer make that decision? Then if YOUR employer made the same decision YOU would be "ok" with it and go home with your tail tucked between your legs and not say anything???? Doubt it.

Remember this all happened over SPOKEN WORDS. What the hell ever happened to "sticks and stones..."???? Do we live in a society now where NOONE'S feelings can EVER get hurt or they'll sue or call the NAACP or ACLU or their Congressman to restore those precious "feelings"? And you say that I need to grow up???



If it's a battle of wits you want, I'm always game.
Ball's in your court.



Like I said above, I don't know if he was trying to be racist or not. At first I perceived it that way, but then I gave it some thought. He said something stupid, the wrong people heard it and it backfired.
Amen. Now why do we have to have jackass central, the media, people losing jobs, and 5 days worth of front page news about it?? Why? THAT is exactly my point. All the other stuff is menucia, wall covering, smoke and mirrors. The bottomline is that this wasn't that big a deal to begin with and it got blown out of proportion into something that it never was, racist.

Let me ask you something. What if an Asian man walked up to your yellow car and said that he was "offended" by the color of your car because it just went to show that you thought he was inferior to you? What if you told him to fuck off, as you should, and then he sued you? What if the Asian Mafia League for the advancement of Oriental people only came and had a news conference naming YOU as a racist and demanded an appology and for you to lose your job? Would you still be "cool" with that? Would you think that was fair? Would you think that would shine a positive light onto the Asian community???? How is that any different than this? Something small got blown out of proportion when someone spun it to something it was never intended and shouldn't have.



If that's how you define riding the fence, by living in reality, then whatever. You can think that if you want. I won't lose any sleep over it.
I didn't say that to make you lose sleep. I posted it to prove you wrong. It served it's purpose since that's the best rebuttal you can come back with.



Don't give me that bullshit. Racism defined:

A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

Where did I say I was better than someone else? That's right. I didn't. All I did was point out how life REALLY is. But yet you go and twist words again, like you did to Airmax, to make you seem like the good guy.
Wrong again.

YOU said that "reality" was that when "shit hit the fan" REGARDLESS of who is right or wrong, "people" always choose to back up "their own kind". Did YOU not say that????

Let's see, I'm going to quote you word for word for accuracy. YOU said:

" In our town we know that when the shit hits the fan, we're gonna side with our own people even if they're wrong. Is it right? No. Is it fair? No. But shit, neither is life. "


HMMMMM, who exactly is YOUR "own people"???

So let's review, shall we?

YOU said that "when the shit hits the fan" YOU will side with "your own people" even if they are "wrong" just because why exactly????? Is it because you like being wrong? Or maybe its that you feel "YOUR OWN" is somehow entitled to your support no matter what because they are "like you"???? And that is NOT being racist because "your own people" in your language refers to someone of a DIFFERENT race? Maybe, but I'm willing to bet not.

So to review you seem to think that you should back up someone eventhough you think they're wrong simply because they are "like you"????? And "like you" in YOUR world means......hmmm....I'll take a stab in the dark and say......same COLOR as you? Maybe same RACE as you? Maybe?

Hmmmmm, that is sooooo far off the DEFINITION of RACISTS that I don't know how anyone could EVER think that is the most racist comment in this thread so far.

You know what you look like right now? Just like a white guy backpedalling and stumbling all over their tongue telling people he's NOT racist because he has 2 Black friends that came over to his house one time.

Whatever. You want to argue with me over something that in essence we agree should of never gotten to this point, yet there it is. TV stations fired him, radio stations fired him, he's labeled a racist for the rest of his life.....all over two simple words; "nappy" and "ho's".

The "ho's" part I can understand, but the nappy part is like telling someone you don't like the color of their shirt. WHO CARES??? I like it, so I wear it. Are they REALLY nappy headed ho's???? If not, why are you so up in arms about someone calling you something YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOT???? He's the one that looks retarded. All they had to do was come on TV one day and said, "you know what? I'm a PHD in Astrophysics with a minor in Internal Medicine. YOU sir are an idiot for calling me something I'm not. I'm 10x's as smart as you will ever be, and now EVERYONE knows that. Have a good life...the last couple of years you have left!!!". The end.

Not only would they have shown class and beat him at his own game, but they would have spun a completely positive perception of Black community to boot. Win, Win situation and it wasn't even all that hard. Argue with me on that too.
