You're right, we should make a racism scandal out of every stupid-yet-not-at-all-prejudiced comment someone makes. Good call.

No, you're right. It's perfectly ok to walk around and say you're going to lynch black people. Better call.

That's fine. I think that there comes a time when people; ALL people should be held accountable for their actions. I don't think it is overblown. I think that people are just too accepting of ignorance.

Accountability means nothing if the actions of the employers mean nothing....think about it....


Fox may move in on O Reilly if ad agents pull out or any entity that donates money start to pull out...if that happens when that happens then that's when action will take place....

Learn from Imus...

I agree. I believe in freedom of expression; however, we can't just say any and everything. I live in Mississippi and believe me, racisim is very much alive and well here. I hear the n-word from our children everyday and it sickens me that they have embraced it as a badge of honor. Makes you wonder what all the sit-ins and marches were really for.

Kevlar.....that's a whole 'nother thread...but suffice to say, I don't listen to too much of any modern rap (since 1990)

Your right I’m not trying to stir up the controversy in this thread so I’ll keep it on topic.

My opinions on the lynching comment…Should she have known better? Yes. Did she mean for it to be taken with a racial connotation? I don’t know.

But Tiger seemed to put it behind him pretty quickly and since he actually knows the woman I’m fine with accepting his interpretation of the incident.

First of all, all rap isn't entertaining. However, it's funny to see others doing the "heismen on the hoe" and "soulja boy". Entertaining music? Nope.

During his Talking Points:

He can stand behind what he says and simply say "I understand the history behind the word and would've used the same word if she had not been black...for those of you who are offended, I did not mean to offend." That's an apology without an apology.

As long as he doesn't make himself a Pinhead instead of a Patriot.

O'Reilly isn't moved by Sharpton.

I know Sharpton doesn't scare him but this will become another un needed side show

It won't really. Just like people are still saying "Nas and Kelis who?"
