The only player in MLB history ever to be charged with a hate crime is back in action for the Detroit Tigers. Outfielder Delmon Young was arrrested April 27th after shoving a homeless man 100 pounds lighter than himself and screaming, “Fucking Jew!” at the man in a “drunken” rampage. Young apparently targeted the homeless man because he was wearing a yarmulke.
DEEMED RACIST: MSG NETWORK FORTUNE COOKIE GRAPHIC
OFFICIALLY LINDORSED ICE CREAM: WITH FORTUNE COOKIE PIECES
Fox News host Eric Bolling is undoubtedly the biggest racist on television and he’s not even trying to hide it. Last month Bolling accused President Obama of “chugging 40′s.” Now, Bolling has taken his Fox race baiting to a new level.
On the Friday edition of “Follow the Money.” Bolling repeatedly talked about “hoodlums in the hizzouse” and “hoodlums in the hizzie.” Bolling went on and on about the “hoods” Obama was letting in the White House while Fox left up the graphic “Hoods in the House.” Bolling compared the rapper Common with an African dictator from Gabon because… well, you know…they’re both one of THOSE PEOPLE. Here’s how long Fox News let up the “Hoods in the House” graphic on Bolling’s show:
If you don’t think that Bolling is a racist then why do you think that there is an entire Facebook site entitled “Eric Bolling is a Racist Douchebag” ? Fark.com had the best headline/summary of Bolling’s actions when they posted: “Fox News does something blatantly racist, will face no consequences.”
In a recently conducted poll, 46% of registered Republicans in Mississippi answered that inter-racial marriages should be made illegal. Only 40% of Mississippi Republicans believed that peopleof different races should be allowed to get married.
Tea Party activists in the state of Washington face charges of racism following a debacle over the weekend. A man on a “Sportsman’s Day” parade float in Naches dressed up as President Barack Obama in a blackface mask and pretended to whip a teenager wearing a sign that said “future taxpayer.”
Dr. Laura Schlessinger
In a stunning move, radio talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger has announced that she will quit her job at the end of her current contract which expires at the end of the year.
The host of the “Dr. Laura Show” was involved in a racially tinged scandal last week when she used the N-word TEN times on her radio show during a conversation with an African-American caller. Schlessinger was furious that “it’s ok” for male comedians “on HBO” to use the wor “N****r” but not her or any other white performers to do so.
Even in announcing her decision on CNN with Larry King Tuesday, Schlessinger was defiant. Schlessinger said that she was ending her radio show to regain her “First Amendment rights.”
DR. LAURA SCHLESSINGER
Radio talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger melted down this week, using the N-word 10 times in a conversation with a female African-American caller. Schlessinger told the woman that on HBO “all you hear is n*****, n*****, n******.”
The incident has received scarcely any attention nationwide. Schlessinger immediately apologized.
MELO AND LALA VASQUEZ FINALLY TIE THE KNOT
Although it’s been several days since basketball star LeBron James made his fateful free agent decision and signed with the Miami Heat, the fallout continues-particularly in New York. On the same day that the New York Post ran a headline calling LeBron a “jackass,” James was booed while attending the wedding of Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony in The Big Apple. James married longtime girlfriend and former MTV personality Lala Vasquez.
Meanwhile, Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert was blasted by civil rights leader Jesse Jackson on Sunday for treating James like a “runaway slave.” Jackson played the race card chastising Gilbert (who also owns Quicken Loans) for thinking he is the “owner” of LeBron James and not simply the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Given the opportunity to back down from his original remarks, Jackson reaffirmed them in a speech to the United Auto Workers in Detroit Monday. The Washington Post ran a weekend column comparing James to the “Roots” tv character Kunta Kinte.
LEBRON JAMES: THE NEW KUNTA KINTE?
MEL GIBSON AND OKSANA GRIGORIEVA
If they ever decide to give out a lifetime achievement award at the Oscars for “Most Disgraced Actor,” Mel Gibson just moved to the top of the list. Gibson has been caught on tape using the N-word and verbally abusing his wife while threatening to kill her. According to Radaronline.com (who claims to have heard the tape), Gibson’s love child can be heard screaming in the background during his insane rant.
Gibson almost saw his career implode earlier this decade after making anti-Semitic remarks to a police officer following a drunk driving arrest. Friday, Radaronline.com released more transcripts of some of the comments Gibson made while fighting with soon-to-be-ex-#2, Oksana Grigorieva. Grigorieva was so fearful of her life, after Gibson threatened to kill her, that she started recording the actors tirades.
Among the highlights in 30 minutes of recording released by Grigorieva:
* Gibson calls Grogorieva a “psycho c***” on tape
* tells her that the outfit she is wearing makes her look like “a pig in heat.”
* then says, “if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be all your fault.”
Sorry, but it’s not particularly shocking that somebody from South Carolina would use a racist ethnic slur. What’s astounding is that the offending party making the slur is a candidate for governor and the person he repeatedly called a “raghead” is a fellow gubernatorial candidate.
On an Internet radio show Thursday, a Republican candidate for governor of South Carolina named Jake Knotts attacked the party’s primary front-runner, Nikki Haley. Haley is a Baptist and a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives. She was recently endorsed by Sarah Palin.That endorsement put Haley atop the polls heading into the state’s Republican primary. A desperate Knotts, not satisfied to jump on the Nikki-Haley-is-a-slut bandwagon, stepped up the campaign rhetoric. It turns out Haley is a TERRORIST slut. Knotts said of her:
“We already got one raghead in the White House. We don’t need a raghead in the governor’s mansion.”
Holy crap! Welcome to American politics, 2010. Apparently, we’re not in a “post-racial” political environment after all. Haley’s parents are from India. Knotts also implied that, like President Obama, Haley is a secret Muslim. I’d mention the name of the radio show that Knotts was on when he made his outrageously racist comments, but they’re literally too stupid to post the audio of the interview, so obviously they don’t want the publicity. The “raghead” comments were so insane and over-the-top, even for South Carolina, that the far-right website Redstate.com told Knotts to literally ”Die In A Fire, You Vicious Racist Scumbag.”
Knotts clarified his comments by claiming his “raghead” comments were a time-honored comedy bit and reiterating that Haley is a secret Muslim.
All of this literally reminds me of the last ime I set foot in South Carolina. I met a female client for lunch at the Myrtle Beach House of Blues. She happened to be African-American. When we approached the host and asked to be seated, he shockingly asked, “Together??!!??”
This incident didn’t happen at a Woolworth’s lunch counter in 1961. It was at a House of Blues in the 2000′s, 30 feet from the entranceway where you literally walk under the chain’s “Unity in Diversity” motto. On that same trip, we attended a celebrity golf tournament at one of Myrtle Beach’s most prestigious country clubs. Of course, they had a lawn jockey.
It was next to that very lawn jockey that I saw one of the most amazing things I’ve ever witnessed in two decades of covering sports-famed politcal activist and former Cleveland Browns running back Jim Brown hitting a tee shot. Next to that lawn jockey. In fairness, that lawn jockey was removed. IN MAY OF 2010.
