Blitzed ex-Jet in race rant - hurls 'n-word' at his ESPN co-host
New York Post (via Deadspin) ^ | August 7, 2013 | KATE SHEEHY

Posted on 08/07/2013 6:13:17 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

Espn host and former Jets defensive star Hugh Douglas hit a co-host below the belt in a drunken tirade at a Florida bar — calling him “Uncle Tom’’ and a “house n----r,’’ sources said.

The hulking Douglas, 41, spit the slurs at “Numbers Never Lie’’ colleague Michael Smith after the boozed-up Douglas made a move to the deejay’s microphone at the House of Blues on Friday in Orlando, and Smith tried to stop Douglas from embarrassing himself, according to the Web site Deadspin.

Had he just said, “n----r'' instead of “house n----r,’’ it would mean nothing. But adding the "h-word" makes all the difference.

No one will be fired. No one will grovel a pitiful apology. There is no White Guilt to be had here, so after a brief insincere apology, we will never hear about this again.

And the hopelessly liberal ESPN will do what liberals do, ignore things that don’t fit the agenda. Douglas throwing the n word around doesn’t fit the agenda. Douglas won’t be hounded, he won’t be denigrated, he won’t be subject to sensitivity training. This incident will be hushed, and Douglas will be reassigned.

And remember this ESPN hostess and her classy remarks about Notre Dame and Jesus?

Whatever happened to “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me”?

America needs to GROW UP. Seriously.

“They are both black, so it’s okay.............”

If I hear a woman call another woman the c word, (which is rare), I am pretty sure the one using the c word is one.

If I hear a black call another black a n*****, I’m pretty sure the one leveling the charge is a n*****.

But since it’s a BLACK drunken idiot, saying the N-word is permissible. Just don’t be slurring-while-white or you are forced into sensitivty training, suspensions or firings.

I can't believe I once used to eat, breathe, sleep and poop sports.

I regret that more than the time I lost using drugs and drinking.

Although I still enjoy the occasional brewski.

I'm still confused.

Saying H-Word + N-Word'er is far worse than saying N-Word'a or even N-Word'er by itself?

And U-Word T-word is bad but not as bad cause it doesn't have N-Word'er in it?

Hey! ...I'm slowing getting it.

I'm still waiting to receive my copy of the acceptable/unacceptable word list. I suspect I haven't received it yet because every time it goes to print, the rules get changed.

Being called a Nigger by another black is no big thing.

The worst insult a black can toss against another black is “Uncle Tom”.

They would rather be called anything rather than Uncle Tom by another black.

Call them an MF’er that doesn’t get them, but Uncle Tom will get them every time.

True. They hate “Oreo” about as much. At least ‘oreo’ has some flavor, in comparison to say, “cracker.”

Riley Cooper’s biggest crime was not being black.

“Whatever happened to “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me”?”


Simple, it does not apply to inferior people or inferior beliefs.

Proof? Muslims!

Without exception, the more inferior a person is or their belief system, the easier it is to offend.

Some people just invite the appropriate application of the magic “N” word.

ESPN is bed wetting liberal....and probably will let this slide....while their hosts were calling for the end of Riley Cooper’s career

If they do not discipline Douglas...then ESPN is Black Racist
