WE WAITED a few days, to see if it would pan out the way we figured it would. And it did.
Shaquille O'Neal and Fuzzy Zoeller have a lot in common. For starters, both think they're funnier than they are. But that stands to reason because people tend to laugh harder than jokes warrant when they're spoken by sports celebs.

This is a typical example of liberal hypocrisy. You can't make a joke about a black who's a friend of yours, but if you're black you can make a tasteless joke about Asians and it's OK. This kind of hypocritical psychology is part of how liberals work to keep Americans divided and keep black folks down. At least the segregationists were open and above board about it.

I agree, but there is more to this than just the race of the "offender" -- the race of the "target" is even more relevant.
Asians must have the thickest skin out of any ethnic group -- I've never heard of a Chinese guy getting upset about something that others would consider a racial slur. Seriously.

It is well known that many white NBA players are taunted with "white bread" and "cracker" on the court. Ever see a story about it, or a fuss raised?

The good thing is that their "work" is not working as well as it did before. Because people that happen to be black are doing better and better all the time.

"The good thing is that their "work" is not working as well as it did before. Because people that happen to be black are doing better and better all the time." Yes, and further the internet has crushed the mainstream media's hold on information. Used to be you got your news from ABCNBCCBS and the Newspapers, now with the internet and cable and Sat. TV infromation is flowing more freely.
This is why Drudge and FR and NEWSMAX and FNC are hated enemies of the mainstream press. They present all sides of the story including "opposing views" of the old guard Liberals.

You must have missed all the stories on Bonzi Wells, who is being investigated by the NBA for allegedly racial remarks he has made towards white players and for spitting in Danny Ferry's face.

I've heard that the chinese have a saying: "It is as bad to take offence as to give it".

ABCNBCCBS... If you rearrange it to "ABCNNBCBS" you can sneak CNN in there as well...
