To the moronic defenders:
Making a comment about a specific person based on his actions is ENTIRELY different from making racist comments about a group of people. Just because those comments were directed at the basketball players doesn't keep it from offending all black women. duh

Anyway,
I honestly think the whole thing is a publicity stunt. I never heard of this guy before this. He knew exactly what he was saying and that it would offend black people. He just figured it was worth the risk. Even if he gets fired, someone else will snap him up and give him a bigger audience with more money.

Black people are an easy target. We have hip-hop artists who sell us out everyday. They get rich calling us N's, B's, and ho's. They show black women degrading themselves. Kids grow up seeing this and think that this is how they need to act in order to be sucessful or respected. Basically, we don't support each other (on a large scale) and we constantly and publicly degrade each other. What's stopping anyone else from doing the same?

Do you really think anything detrimental will happen to him (or the guy he was talking with)? I don't, not in the long-run.
