What I find interesting is there are some on here that want to believe there was some out of the ordinary cause for what he said, like he had a breakdown, he's mentally ill, etc. Maybe just maybe that's how he really feels. Maybe he just doesn't like blacks. There are thousands if not millions of whites that don't like blacks and why is it so impossible he's part of that number? Is it because he played a character on tv we all loved? Because he's a celebrity and we hold them to a different standard. Or is it because you can't face that racism or prejudice still exist in this country?

i wish he hadn't apologized, because it was meritless. I would rather he said yeah I said it and I'm not a fan of blacks. blacks wouldn't be surprised, we encounter this all the time and we go on with our day.

Even though I am black and offended, I am still wondering where he comments came from. He does feel some hate towards black or at the very least- doesn't think much of them to begin with. This was just the platform that he true feelings came out. Whatever the case, he does have some problems and should get help.

I agree, racist or not, people usually don't go off like that.
