It's only white boys who can be racist. Is that right?

Shaq's not a racist. Just a clown. These comments were made over the summer on a LA morning show. If you heard the comments and the context in which they were spoken you see plainly they were not racist.

His comments may not be racist but he coverted to Islam and is now buddies with Farrakhan. So perhaps Shaq does have a recent tilt towards Nation of Islam 'tolerance' of non-blacks and non-arabs.

If a white boy said those words, he would be tagged as a racist. I understand the nature of his sentiments, but the words are there. I'm pointing to the double standard where brothers like Chis Rock can use the n-word like confetti in a movie I saw last night and any other person would be tagged as a racist in the same situation.

Double standard.
