NEW YORK (AP) - A former New York Knicks executive at the center of a sexual harassment lawsuit repeatedly complained to a friend from work that coach Isiah Thomas had berated her with foul language, according to trial testimony Tuesday.
On the tape, the former Detroit Pistons great also said that he would find it more offensive if a white male called a black female a "bitch," than if a black male used the same term when speaking to a black female.

>Admit it, what was the first words that came to mind when you saw this?
Argh! No! Take it away! I promise I’ll be good!
I think he’s saying that between blacks, the term bitch is as much an expression of affection as it is any sort of insult.
Really, I don’t care if they think it is a term of affection.

To a point.
If a woman slugs me, she's going down, hard.
Unfortunately, women stopped being ladies with the sexual revolution. They want to do all the “man” things, but suffer none of the tradeoffs. This is esp. true in the Black community.
It is time for Thomas to go. According to him, a black woman has no viable complaint if she is insulted by a black man, but has one if insulted in the same way by a white man. What the heck is wrong with his brain? Yes, definitely time for him to go!
The same thing that's always been wrong with Isiah Thomas's brain: racism. Don't forget that when he was with the Pistons, Isiah said that Larry Bird was only made MVP because he was white.
