Why do racist scum always try to claim it was a “joke” after people get put off? It wasn’t a joke, he meant it. He’s only sorry that non-racists see what a POS he is.

“You don’t excuse it, but certainly this over reaction to such comments is getting tired?”

If you don’t “excuse it” then why make excuses by calling it an over-reaction?

“Blacks can choose to assimilate or live with the consequences.”
The consequences of the aftermath of one of your klan meetings? All I ever see you post is racist BS.

You’re like little johnnypee-lite…

“Don’t you people realize when you let someone’s spoken words offend you, not only are you giving them power over you, you are almost validating what they said.”

I just like to point out POS racists, anti-Semites, anti-Americans, etc. If they feel “good” about that, that’s their problem. :D

SoCal Patriot   January 18th, 2008 - 2:45 pm

“OMG! SoCal Patriot and I agree on this one!!”

Only because you know I’m smarter than you and I said it first. :D

Well; you have hard-core racist scum that actively hate people who don’t share their ethnicity, and then you have old men from fairly rural towns where modern culture has failed to make an impression.

You don’t excuse it, but certainly this over reaction to such comments is getting tired?

NON ISSUE! Lenny bruce where are ya when we need ya!

Turqouise   January 18th, 2008 - 4:33 pm

To me this was just a silly joke, the thought police are out there monitoring every word we say. Racism is overblown, get a sense of humor. This man handled the interview with class too, showing he is not uneducated, and he seems truly sorry.

Tex Taylor   January 18th, 2008 - 4:58 pm

So what…the guy tells a stupid, tasteless joke with a racial connotation. The most bigoted group of folks in America are the thought police that monitor each word.

Whether it be the man-hating groups (NOW), the religious bigots (ACLU), the whites are devils (NAACP), or the the American hating union (lefty Dimocrats) – all are absolute complete phonies and duplicitous schmucks.

As Hillary Rotten is currently finding out, it comes back to bite you.

Free Speech is officially dead. The fact that blacks DO commit more crime, pay almost no income taxes as a group, use more welfare by a huge margin, and use racial epithets more than any other group make them VERY SENSITIVE to criticism! Don’t say anything critical of black people, IN ANY WAY, EVER! Simple people will call you racist and try to hurt you just to prove that they’re “not racist”.
I guess we could pass a law that says us taxpayers should just give about 10-15% of our money to blacks for no good reason, so as to prevent their usual rioting…..Oh wait! We already do that!
I wonder how much more we’ll have to pay before those of us with guts say” enough of this extortion!”
Blacks can choose to assimilate or live with the consequences.

What Now   January 18th, 2008 - 7:14 pm

Geeez…if this guy,Obama,is elected I am going to have to read and hear this crap all the time. It is enough to make me want to throw up.

Joe   January 18th, 2008 - 8:53 pm

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

Man what ever happened to that?

Don’t you people realize when you let someone’s spoken words offend you, not only are you giving them power over you, you are almost validating what they said.

SoCal Patriot   January 18th, 2008 - 9:24 pm

“Don’t you people realize when you let someone’s spoken words offend you, not only are you giving them power over you, you are almost validating what they said.”

I just like to point out scumbag racists, anti-Semites, anti-Americans, etc…If they feel good about that, that’s their problem. ;)

SoCal Patriot   January 18th, 2008 - 9:58 pm

““My” gripe is with the Jews that drop cluster bombs on little kids.”

You’re an idiot, Israel was cleared of those charges, their use of cluster bombs was deemed appropriate.

Anti-Semites are all scum…

“One man’s humor is another man’s insult… life goes on.”

Claiming “I was only joking” is no excuse…

Rover   January 18th, 2008 - 10:27 pm

OMG! SoCal Patriot and I agree on this one!!

SKD   January 18th, 2008 - 11:17 pm

So long America. Anybody that finds offense at such a mild statement is demented, pandering to blacks, or actively trying to stir resentment against white people.

SoCal Patriot   January 18th, 2008 - 11:34 pm

“Anybody that finds offense at such a mild statement is demented, pandering to blacks, or actively trying to stir resentment against white people.”

That’s just something POS racists say to feel better about their own hate…

SoCal Patriot   January 19th, 2008 - 12:43 am

“Free Speech is officially dead. The fact that blacks…”

Free Speech isn’t dead, you can spew your racial hatred and I can keep pointing out that your a racist SOB… :D

If Chris Rock had told the joke this would be a non issue, and the robots would have laughed also.

OddDuck   January 19th, 2008 - 1:40 am

I thought it was funny. I didn’t think it was racist. And I think they should begin such events with a number from the latest Ludacris or 50 Cent CD, just to make the point.
Dee said it right… NON-ISSUE! Lenny Bruce (or Richard Pryor) where are you when we need you!!!

SoCal Patriot   January 19th, 2008 - 1:48 am

“If Chris Rock had told the joke this would be a non issue, and the robots would have laughed also.”
If Chris Rock had told that ON STAGE, maybe. If he had told it at a political even for hillary, maybe not.

“I thought it was funny.”
A lot of racists did too…

“NON-ISSUE!”
Evidently, based on results, it IS an issue…

Rover   January 19th, 2008 - 4:51 am

Poor ol’ seejay…

He can’t accept that crimes are “complex” and happen for so many reasons. So he has to take it to the lowest level of “black and white”. There are statistics there, but then it gets complicated. And seejay just can’t see beyond the totally simple…

There are blacks and whites that commit crimes, there are blacks and whites that do not. Understand what really separates those two groups and you will see the way to really makes things much better for everyone.

“My” gripe is with the Jews that drop cluster bombs on little kids. But that is a “make it hurt them” politically based point of view. I officially liked Jews before that point in time…

And so it goes… Surprised that SoCal seem to make sense these days… That even has me flustered %:|

OddDuck   January 19th, 2008 - 5:25 am

One man’s humor is another man’s insult… life goes on. Unfortunately, for many of you who are sharing your narrow-mindedness here, I don’t see any point in the near future where the rest of the world will think exactly the same ways you do. And if we begin to chastise everyone who ever says anything that may be construed as “offensive” to anyone else… well, just get in line to take your turn on the whipping post.
Still think it was funny. If that makes me a racist, so be it. I still think it wasn’t a racist remark. If that makes me even more of a racist, so be it. And I still think it’s a non-issue, in any arena. If, for that, I’m additionally judged as ignorant, then so be it. The labels people tend to try to stick on other people, just because they don’t think the same way, mean nothing to me. Never did.
But before you go and string up the old gentleman for what was apparently a horrendous crime, I’d suggest a long look in the mirror. Be sure you’ve never offended anyone, accidentally, intentionally, or otherwise, before you start condemning others for such a crime against humanity. If self-righteousness turns out to be your strongest character trait… well, it sucks to be you!
I’ll get back to my oatmeal and TV re-runs now. Enjoy your arguments, but don’t waste too much time on them. You’ll be amazed when you get to be as old as I am how quickly that time does pass.

Damn… that’s more than I’ve said all week. LOL!

Greeley is an old fashioned meet packing town run by illegal immigrant meat packing sweat show owners. Funny how the media gracefully refers to him as “man” instead of Bill Farr (a white man)…
