The right loves to defend racist behavior.
The left likes to make things up about what is or isn't racist behavior. What did he say? Did he say that in a country where all the states have free or low cost state ids that blacks are too inept to get them? or did he jokingly call a friend the n word while drunk?

It is sometimes necessary to punish minimal wrongdoings for the sake of limiting the animosity between two cultures co-existing in the same geographic area.
Of all people. Cosell was well known as someone who promoted equality.

He also called his friend a ***** Wallen's lucky the #metoo women aren't after him for being a misogynist.

The freedom of speech is one of the most critical freedoms we have, and no freedom has been more under attack. The truth is, words only have the power we agree to grant them. Frankly, a well grounded person would better serve themselves by not allowing words uttered from another person to affect them. To allow a stranger to control your emotions by the mere utterance of a single word, places them in total control of you. Better that we reclaim our power by not agreeing to grant words and strangers such power over us.

Then, we can all get back to thinking, behaving and talking like adults, rather than children.
I don't think you understand. "A well grounded person" should know NOT to call people slurs. Why do you think it is OK? Would I want as a white person to be called Whitey or cracks or honky, HELL NO. And that is nowhere near what other races face.

the problem is anyone calling someone whitey or honky gets no reprimands. They should have their lives ruined also. Its only equal. Which is what being "non-racist" is all about

He'll be alright. I'm sure there's a certain segment of country fans who like him more now.

The words are not equal, and you know it

When was the last time someone said honky by the way? 1974?

I didn't know country music had a rule about that sort of thing. I bet a bunch singers are deleting stuff on their phones and their Facebook post.
