    I don't care what color and I don't care what party. That is so rude and nasty and there's nothing funny about it. It's just sad in what is supposed to be a civilized society. Anger management is important...there's a lot to be angry about. How we express ourselves is more important than ever. This man was just plain wrong.

    Big Bully. I wonder if the candidate was a black male how the interview would have gone? Would the DJ have been as tough talking then?

    one of the reasons I find it so funny is because if he was white and and said the same thing about a black person all hell would break loose,the station would fire him publicly and Jesse Jackson would be suing somebody..you could bet yer knickers on that and it would be all over the t.v set and Al Sharpton would be asking for extra funding for the ACLU to help pay for the extra lawyers they'd need to cover this atrosity, and besides that it just made me laugh thinging about it...didn't want any whitness on his hands :lol: that was classic you know SNL will be using that on tomorrows news today show :lol:

    Hell would break loose because the meaning in messages if different based on the context and who is delivering the message. Not everything is so black and white ((da-dum tschhhh))

    This article makes obvious is the fact that there are extremes and there is ignorance on all sides. One of the things I like about Morris Dees' Southern Poverty Law Center is that this organization fights to stop racism on all sides, from all colors. Of course most of their work is aimed at ending white racism towards people of color but that is simply due to the statistical reality of victims of racism in America.

    it is serious stuff..or it would be if the guy was a different color and that's why I find it funny,sense the guy is black he gets a pass ? to me it was just commical to hear because his racial slurs made no big deal to me I just laughed it off, kinda like those black panthers in front the voting poles a while back it got a little attention then droped, why do you think thay is ?

    This is the problem with America. They watch this bullshit and think it's funny, when it's not. And of course, it's on Fox News. Now why am I not surprised by this? And tell me why people bother reading it in the first place...

    Godfather, do you like watching this angry and spiteful behavior? Does it make you feel good, because nearly everything posted on here has to be negative, I've noticed a long time ago. What's your goal with posting it and what kind of responses are you looking for when you post this crap? And it's always got to be from Fox News!! :roll:

    what would you think should have been done about it ?..for some it's freedom of speach and others it's racism it just depends on who said it, and are you superised that Fox aired it and no other station gave it any attention,in a reverse roll it would have got airplay from every major network it's almost like it's a dirty little secrete black america dosen't want to know about.

    and I just posted the flip side of the coin of racism and sense I don't follow along with ideas posted by many on the train now I'm the bad guy ? if you knew me personally you would see that I am a live and let live person but I see so many one sided topics on the train and holyer than thow atitudes by people who think they have it all figured out and when something like this is posted that is not the norm in popular belief on the train people get offended, I see posters make comments and jabs about my personal beliefs all the time so what makes my ideas/views any different than yours ? it's a big world out there and not everybody see's it the same way.

    how is this the flip side of the coin? this is black on black racism, which is, for some reason, tolerated in the US. the flip side would have been a black guy berating a white woman. but that's neither here nor there anyway, as it doesn't matter what colour mouth it's coming from or going to, it's racism.

    I can tell you, if this happened in Canada and was Aboriginal vs Aboriginal, it would not have been treated so lightly.

    how is being against racism not the norm on the train?

    your comments are confusing. do think this is a big deal, or it is not a big deal?

    I am just pointing out, if a white man on public t.v/radio had said "I need to wash the blackness off my hands" this would have gotten a lot more media coverage and caused more trouble, but to tell you the truth the only person that looked bad in the whole thing was the DJ...I have to laugh at him ! so no his racist rant is no big deal to me because he made a hero out of the gal he unloaded on in my opinion and made himself look like a fool.
