Despite all the press coverage generated by Tuesday's mini-riot between boxing bad-boy Mike Tyson, heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis and their respective entourages, the most outrageous aspect of Tyson's meltdown went largely unreported.
In remarks after the melee that were censored from almost all broadcast coverage, Tyson chastised one reporter with a profanity-laced tirade that repeatedly invoked race.
Fox News Channel's Brian Kilmeade was on-hand and recounted the altercation to his FNC colleague Sean Hannity on Hannity's WABC radio show Wednesday.
"Someone screamed out, 'You belong in a straight-jacket.'" reported Kilmeade.
"At which time (Tyson) sized the guy up and - I don't know what I can actually say. But (Tyson said), 'White guy.' You know, 'Get your white bleep bleep over here and I'm gonna bleep bleep you until you fall in love with me."
"Every other word was, 'White this, white this - I'm gonna take your white ass. I'm gonna do this, you white - get over here you, you know you're scared to death you white...."
"This is a guy who's spent three-and-a-half years in prison," Kilmeade observed. "This is prison talk."
Tyson and Lewis got into the brawl while at Manhattan's Millenium Hotel, where they were scheduled to announce a multimillion dollar deal for a heavyweight championship bout in April.

Depending on who is involved of course.
You never saw Leonard /Hearns I & II, Hagler/Hearns or the Pryor/Arguellio fights did you?
I ask only for information.
How do they live with themselves, I wonder...
I didn't see it but I heard about it at work. Apparently he was being egged on by a group of people, probably promoters hoping to make another buck.
See, the media knows what the public wants; remarkably leftist slants and stories that emphasize the poor minority being kept down by the man. Some honky reporter getting assaulted and having racial slurs thrown at him is nothing. Now, if it had been on the other hand though, we’d be looking at a major hate crime here.
See, whitey has been in power for a long, long time. Therefore all whites are very, very rich and powerful. I know I am and all my friends and co-workers are rich, powerful millionaires, and I assume you are too (unless you’re a minority of course. Then you’d be a semi-employed, poverty stricken individual like Mr. Tyson). The balance of power MUST be shifted, for the good of… well… change is good. Alright? I can’t explain it, but it is. Therefore, it is the responsible media’s job to under report things like Ken Tillery, who was a honky killed by being dragged from a pick up truck in Jasper Texas by a group of “Fine African Americans”, and over report the plight of Robert Byrd who was a “Fine African American” killed by being dragged from a pick up truck in Jasper Texas by a group of honkys.
I hope I cleared this up for you. Next time you wonder about this ask yourself, or a friend: Who is Mark Furhman (that rashist cop who done tried to frame O.J.) and who is Collin Ferguson (a mis directed “Fine African American (Jamaican)” gentleman who “accidentally” killed 15 honkeys and Asians on the Long Island Rail Road). If you can’t get the second part, fold you hands in your lap, exhale a comforting sigh of relief and know that our media is on the job!
