Oh, I see. A joke.

[Jeff Chandler]

Ethnic humor is overrated.

An overly sensitive and stupid media who have the ability and do blow things out of portion.

"We ate that all the time. We'd have fried chicken every Friday"

Let's not forget the black eye'd peas and chitlins!

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Seau is a good guy, and I actually believe him when he says that he was just joking. That being said, had it been Zach Thomas who said this, the press would be calling for a multiple-game suspension.

If a serious comment can be made, this underscores racial absurdity. Saying that someone's race makes them stupid or dishonest, etc. is racially offensive. Jokes about food that a racial or etnic group may traditionally eat is not. In other words, mere reference to ANYTHING having to do with black culture is not improper. It is really kooky to act like a reference to fried chicken is derogatory. Yes many blacks eat a lot of fried chicken. And the insult in that is located where?

I used to watch quite a bit of football with my kids and always joked that the best way to get the other team off it's guard was to treat them to fried chicken before the game, thus making their fingers too slippery to hold the ball. On the other side of things, whenever "our" receivers couldn't hold the ball, I'd suggest giving them each a box of Gobstoppers.

We'll habe to know what Seau's political orientation is, before we can react. If he's a conservative, we'll all be outraged and ask for his resignation. If he's a liberal, we'll all realize he was making a joke, clap him on the back, and have him campaign for Hillary.

[cgk]

Brother.

Pun intended.

I have it on authority that, like any self-respecting San Diegan, LT is partial to fish tacos.

[rintense]

Seau said THAT!?!?!!? IMO, that's worse than what Rush said.

[TRY ONE]

Now if Junior Seau had suggested the way to stop a top white runner is to feed him quiche......

Would there have been any hassles?

[Rome2000]

Seau ought to concentrate on getting healthy and helping out our team.

He appears to be a Samoan, and I know from experience they are angry and racist.

[Bombard]

DUMB!DUMB!DUMB!!!!

[Tall_Texan]

LT should tell him to stuff a coconut in his pie hole and put his grass skirt back on. That's how we handled things in the old days.

[Oschisms]

Some mc's be talkin' and talkin'
Tryin' to show how black people are walkin'
But I don't walk this way to portray
Or reinforce stereotypes of the day
Like all my brothas eat chicken and watermelon
Talk broken english and drug sellin'...

PC run amok bttt

[BurbankKarl]

hmm...this all made me think of Ezell's in Seattle. Are they still around?

[NonValueAdded]

[Seau is] also scheduled to host a luncheon honoring current San Diego quarterback Drew Brees for his charity work on Tuesday.

I wonder what the menu might be ... wouldn't that be a hoot?

[Yossarian]

"We ate that all the time. We'd have fried chicken every Friday," Seau said.

(Hypersensitive mode on:) This is the critical sentance in the excuse. If Seau broke bread with LT, and he knows firsthand that's what he loves to eat, well then who the hell is to assign a racial motive?

(Hypersensitive mode off:) Different cultures have different cultural foods, and that's life. When we're poking fun at friends, who gives a rat's rear-end what angle you use! When you got a friend, if you love them like a brother or sister, you respect them - and that means the whole deal, race and all.

All in all: BFD...

By the way: LT should ONLY stand for the one, the only, the disgraced, and great Lawrence Taylor. For all his troubles, the man's play on the field earned the eternal rights to those initials.
