Well, if anything, given the hue and cry over this, it seems to me that a correct analogy is that Don Imus::Racial tension as straw::camel's back.
It looks like african-american communities are -finally- starting to realise that one of the main causes of racism, racial tension, and the prevalance of racial slurs in America is that they are paying african-american people millions of dollars to make a career out of degrading their own race. I can't think of a single other ethnic group that seems to go so far out of its way to present itself as bigoted, sexist, crude, violent, criminal and obsessed with wealth and showing off wealth. The sooner it is made clear that their own people find what they're doing reprehensable, the sooner it can be put behind them. |

Well, when they finally realise that guns are the major cause of gun violence, I'm just as happy having them go after people who own and use guns at the same time as they go after people who make and sell them.
If he was the catalyst, it stands to reason that he gets to go down with the ship. |

I think its stupid to drop him for racial comments... look at rap music
don imus called them nappy headed ho's and rap music lyrics say all women are ho's and call them the B word... so why isnt Rap with racial remarks or other hurtful things toward specific groups of people banned? one person is gone for a small comment yet a large variety of music isnt... yes there are sensored versions but then again there arent... |

I think the point is that this event is sparking efforts to do exactly what you're saying should be done.

I'm just glad Al Sharpton, King of the Black People could be offended on behalf of everyone.
The man needs a hobby that isn't interfering with everything that hits the public eye.

my opinion is I think what he said was stupid but he is a comedian and all comedians do something to an extent to what he did, really I dont consider his comments racist its just nappy is associated with african americans but nappy knows no race, but anyway I think he didnt mean anything by his saying cause almost half of the team was white but anyway the producer also said some racist things and nothing happened to him, but that is just what I think, he should just apologize and realize what he said was stupid given america's society is a bunch of idiots and bigots.

I don't care if he's a major part of the media that can reach out to many. He's an old white guy who said a racial slur and so much of the black community is eager to appear wounded. Pathetic.
"this old white dude called me a something or other! i don't think i'll ever recover!"

I completely agree that the whole thing was blown way out of proportion. What he said was disrespectful- I'm not saying that he said anything right. But I don't think he deserved to be fired for saying it. I think the team made a huge deal over what- one little insult? It almost seemed to me like it was more of a cry to get the team attention.
And another thing that get's me is the whole "equal rights" thing. They fired him because he was a white guy who made a racist comment about black women. What would they have done if it was a black guy who made the comment in the first place? I honestly don't think they would have made such a big deal out of it, and it's not right. |
