I have never, ever heard of the KKK or anyone else hanging someone upside down and then sodomizing them. Tied to a cross, shot, burned, etc. yes, but not that.
Now what does Abner and a bunch of sick New York PD guys have to do with this? What ethnic backgrounds were all of the officers involved? For something also unrelated to this, let's bring up Mel Gibson, why no hate for Mel as his anti-semetic comments have been long running and on multiple occasions and has gone into the films he has made? No love for the Jews? I mean they were never persecuted as slaves here, but they did put up with the holocaust.

Of course Malcolm and Martin King were also very misogynistic themselves. See my point? We're human that can easily succumb to stereotypes and generalizations.

Just because we call someone a derogatory comment doesn't make people racists. You guys who live in segregated communities need to learn that. I must admit that I truly discriminate against the Idiot Race, I cannot stand them and wish they were wiped out of existence (read Lawyers here).

The point is what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Obviously what Damon is trying to bring up is that this whole uproar over the use of the "N-word" is silly. He incorporated it into his act and now he as a black man cannot use it. It is just plain stupid.
