Very wimpily -- actually I do remember this very well -- they even went down there to Mexico to confront him but came back with their tails between their legs -- he obviously smacked them down. They really did not stand up to him at all. Right after that the Mexican government released their racist Memin Pinguin postage stamp. And Jesse and Al said nothing at all about it.

Yes supposedly Fox told Jesse and Al that he "regretted" his racist statements and they accepted that as an apology --- but Fox never publically apologized at all. It was more -- "sorry if your feelings happened to get hurt" kind of apology.

Facing international criticism, Fox spoke by phone Monday with Jackson and Al Sharpton, another prominent black civil rights leader, and expressed regret for “any hurt feelings caused by my statements.”

Yea, because at one time, white people used to LOVE black people to death! I remember those days.

I do have a question about the "Hispanic" thing: since many of them ARE "white" and some anglo white people and most Indians or Asians are "brown", how come the "racism" poll wasn't broken down further?

I get along quite well with white people. A few are in my inner circle of friends.

But even they don't get shyt twisted...they know not to come at me with some nonsense about what blacks should or shouldn't so because I'll set that matter straight in a heartbeat.

You're just mad because its obvious that I'm not a suckup to white folks. But that's your problem, not mine.
Awww you go hard "shun", you a true OG! Don't be lettin' dem honkeys be gettin' all uppity in yo grill an shizz!
