By sticking "that's racist!" label on every second offensive quote you deflate stigma associated with real racism.
Google "ethnic stereotypes" ffs.

P.S. PC stands for political correctness.

Yes, I know what words it stands for. I even know the individual definitions of those words. When put together...what does that mean? From what I gather it really, really, really depends on who you're talking to.

By sticking "that's racist" on racist comments I think we better identify racism in our society.

Ferry is claiming his comments were taken from material he was reading that had been compiled by others associated with the team and were not his own words or reflective of how he thinks...

Though if that were truly the way it was, he should have refuted the statement then and there

It's all on tape it seems.

Pretty obvious that's his last major gig in sports. So he gotta protect himself and make the new owner fire him and pay out the remainder of his contract.

The only problem is if you shout "that's racist" at something, it doesn't become one. If it's not, it's not.

Sure, I agree. Good thing this one wasn't a false alarm, right?
 
just because a phrase may be overused and applied in situations where it doesn't fit, doesn't mean there aren't situations where it DOES fit.

In this situation I think it does fit.

What I'm a little curious about is why we're not seeing the level of outrage from the players that we saw with Donald Sterling's comments.

Because it's the off-season? Because Danny Ferry is a fellow player? Because he's not some doddering elderly old fool?

Because the owner is already selling the team and Ferry will be losing his job? Probably a little of all of them.
 
I'm so over political correctness but Jesus, Danny Ferry must be a complete and utter bumbling moron. If he hasn't been fired in the last 48 hours, the Hawks are beyond dumb. And don't get me wrong. They shouldn't just fire him to cover their *** in the public eye. They should fire him because what he said is beyond ****ed up and should not be tolerated. I'm white, say racist comments here and there (I'll admit it) but what he said angers me and is leaps and bounds across that line you just don't cross.
 
Imagine a world where there are listening devices and video cameras virtually EVERYWHERE and every time somebody say something remotely racist, an instant fine of $500 is issued (kinda like speed cameras).


We may never have to pay income tax ever again.

I'd die in a revolution attempt before that **** happened.

You wouldn't say that if you've ever had to pay income tax in your life.

Wtf? You are a dumb.

I would die in a revolution attempt now if I could get enough people to go along with me. Too lose-lose to do it now, but we must strike before all our guns get taken away (btw, this has nothing to do with the pro-gun/anti-gun arguments, so don't comment as if it does). I need more help. If you're interested, PM me.

That should generate some government interest.
