JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars cornerback Brian Williams had not yet made headlines on the football field when he made news off the field, accused of making some offensive comments to an officer the night he was arrested on suspicion of DUI.
According to Jacksonville police, Williams went on a racist, profanity-laced rant on the September 2006 night he was charged with driving under the influence.
WJXT-TV has obtained court documents detailing what an officer says Williams said to him that night.
The officer involved wrote in his notes that Williams called him a, "Honky mother (expletive)."
The statement goes on to say that Williams said, "I (expletive) your momma ... I (expletive) your wife twice." It got worse when, according to the officer's notes, Williams said he would do something to the officer's daughter.
In 2006, Williams pleaded guilty to DUI and apologized for his actions; however, Williams recently changed his mind and withdrew his plea.
That decision allowed the notes of the arresting officer, who at the time said he did not know Williams had recently signed a multimillion dollar deal to play for the Jaguars, to be made public.
The officer said Williams told him, "You think I'm a drug dealing (expletive) looking for a gun?"
The report goes on to say when Williams realized his car was going to be towed and police asked if he wanted his date to drive it home, he yelled, "I'm not letting that (expletive) take my car." The officer stated Williams told him his car cost more than the officer will ever make.
WJXT tried to get comments from Williams, his attorney and the Jaguars regarding the comments allegedly made by Williams, but none would comment.
Groups, like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said if what the officer says is true, then Williams went too far.
The president of the local chapter of the NAACP, Isaiah Rumlin, said the incident shows what police face every day from all types of people.
"We can't tolerate this type of hatred and racial-type language in this community. It just divides -- that is all it does," Rumlin said.
Since Williams' arrest in 2006, eight other Jaguars players have had their own run-ins with the law.
He sounds perfect for them ‘BOYS.
Well, according to wikipedia (for what it’s worth):
Honky is a corruption of hungy or hunky, a term which originated in the stockyards and slaughterhouses of Chicago. The term may derive from “Bohunk” (Bohemian-Hungarian), which was used to refer to central Europeans. Black workers and Hungarian workers were two of the largest ethnic groups in the Chicago meat industry. Racial and ethnic tension between the two groups led Black workers to begin calling Hungarian workers, and those perceived as Hungarian workers, hunky, perhaps in retaliation for the familiar racist epithets to which black workers were subject. The corruption ‘honky’ emerged shortly thereafter.
I don’t mind being called a “cracker” or “honky”, or a Mick for that matter. The comments about family though would cause me to end his NFL career after I take out his knees.
Some lines aren’t to be crossed.
OK that was funny!
Impossible. Only white people are racist.
Not only that but we wouldn’t have to wait two years to know about it.
But people of every race can be a bigot.
What kind of name is LeBron?

Honkies are repsonbile for all the wars in history. Are you a honkey?
Yeah that was pretty good.
When does his apology tour start? Perhaps he should check with Mel Gibson to determine an appropriate number of apologies before he enters rehab. He could start touring high schools in all-white districts to explain his mistakes and promise to change his life.

Because whites supposedly speak with a nasally tone and sounds like a goose “honking”. That’s what I’ve always heard.

I find that most people who consider themselves conservative, think this way. I do. I was called a "Nazi" a few times (I have a german name and background) by a few "enlightened" libs in Manhattan after I didn't toe their PC line. When one realized what she said, she looked horrified, thinking that I would probably do what she definitely would -- go to HR and file a complaint.
But I just laughed. Funny, but I really believe she thought she had won some kind of argument with me.
I still haven't figured out how to talk to these types without somehow offending them. I've pretty much stopped trying.
