who said someone was killed or sent to prison?

maybe that will be in future episodes but please be quiet so we can get back to the show.

I never said there was a victim in this story.... but I damn sure know Whites aren't the victim like kreig tried to play it.

Are you black? If not, I get your point.

His phone call should've been private. As far as I know, it wasn't for our ears. If we knew what everyone said in private conversations, we'd have a country where alot of people and businesses would be boycotted.

Uhmm, I wouldn't want my family fed and clothed with the scraps given to me by a racist. Like I said, different strokes.

I definitely agree with this. I mean it is pretty obvious clipper owner is a racist bigot. But boy or boy, this calculating gold digger is good. Don't make her mad, that is the lesson he should have learned a long time ago perhaps. Too bad, he deserves it.

How many of us haven't made racial jokes behind closed doors?

pretty sure someone in your family tree BEFORE you did just that in order for you to be here.

nice try but whites aren't the victim in this story.
Yes, and Charles Barkley also got a lot of flak for saying (truthfully) that his then-teammate Dave Hoppen, an NBA scrub by any measure, was only in the league because he was white.

Well, well....

Being a bigot was just fine by her until the gravy train stopped....

He didn't "go on TV" and speak about it. He was first asked about it by a reporter at a press conference where he was speaking about another subject altogether.

. Also if they were both black would the media care ? NO .
The situation would have been greatly different.
