You gotta understand. Not only is he one of us. He has class. True but I still gotta wonder why his father would name his son "Niger." That's just asking for trouble.

"Oh, God, I thought you guys thought I was a rapper or something," Innis replied. LOL! Too funny.
To: chookter
Outstanding reply! He nailed the left and irresponsible black punks in one shot i.e. a twofer.

Why should it? Sound both out.Think about it. How easy does that make it for him to be degraded (think back to jr. high) and for idiots to do something like they did on MSNBC.
While you and I both know how to pronounce his name correctly, it still leaves him wide open for attacks such as this.
Likewise, I wonder what Dick Butkis' parents were thinking...
To: Sir Gawain
Let's see, they dump Fuzzy and got a bad rap in the process. Two years later their stock is worth a buck a share. Coincidence? :-)

If she was introducing Ann Heche, maybe she didn't misspeak after all....;-)

Here is an occurance that really showcases the differences between Republicans and democrats. The Republican blew it off, democrats would have had lawyers and started lawsuits buy down. Jesse Jackson would be there trying to coerce money.
There is no right to not be offended and you have no right for protection from rude people.

Likewise, I wonder what Dick Butkis' parents were thinking...Isn't Dick the abbreviation of Richard?
Never mind I get it. You're right

I'm surprised they didn't put "Uncle Tom" under their creative name spelling.
He handled it well.
To: Calvin Coolidge
Gotta love Niger Innis. Although, I don't see him on the news networks at much as I'd like. Kudos to him for handling it with humor and dignity. And NO he shouldn't sue. Give me a break.

The liberal media hypocrisy still is alive and well.
Case and point: John Rocker.
PMSNBC are the same lefties who cried about the things Rocker said (albeit those things he said were true).
To: Sir Gawain
Tiger did have a lot of class in that one.
It was K-Mart who dumped Fuzzy, even though Tiger wasn't offended.

Another example of liberal hypocrisy.

It was Freudian at best, and I think that’s a charitable explanation.

Since MSNBC is screaming racism at any criticism of Obama, I thought I’d remind everyone of this graphic atrocity. It’s a good thing nobody watches that network.
