I don't consider myself a tough guy. I just don't have alot of patience. I have parents and siblings. I don't have coworkers(I was laid off two months ago and I'm currently looking for a job), kids, a car, or a woman. So what? What does that have to do with how I feel about people who make racial comments like what that Olympic athlete said?

But it was a shot at Africans, out of her own hatred.

If nothing else, it was a downright stupid time and place to make such a nasty remark public. (not that anytime is acceptable) It's the Olympics after all. Good sportsmanship, brotherly love, all nations coming together. She deserves to be banned for her lack of sensitivity and common sense. Is that all that was on this nitwit's mind and the very best that she could find to twitter when she is fortunate enough to be included in a chance of a lifetime event and opportunity? Good riddance!

It was a joke. Hatred? Gimme a break. The feigned outrage is sad.

So now your calling for banning people for not having common sense? Are you kidding me? She wasn't "fortunate enough to be included" she earned it and now the PC kooks take it away over a joke. You folks have lost your minds.

It's not a hate group. I don't agree with it personally, but call it a "Hate Group" really makes you look small-minded. That's how fascism starts. I don't agree with the views of the democrat party. Yet, I don't consider them a "Hate Group". It seems you don't like Freedom of Speech to much.

God and everyone else knows there's only one group it is acceptable to ridicule. (besides the North Koreans)

The world has seen what people who think like this group do. They need to be watched carefully. Don't wait this time until millions have to die to feel their pit of anger.
