You are entitled to your opinion and even though you are stating that I posed the stupidest questions you’ve ever heard, I’m not angry at you. You are entitled to your opinion by the Constitution of this country and I firmly believe that. You just need to acknowledge that a double standard exists and unless that is recognized you should not cast stones. The same standard does not equally apply to all races in the US, that is a fact.

so, for the mass of you who say words are meaningless without action, you're fooling yourself. quit trying to be tough. we all have something.

I agree with you to a point. However the things that bother me and someone else will always be different. We can get angry that is our right as afforded by the Constitution, but at what point does something become censorship? Just because we don’t like something should it be censored? It already bothers me that schools ban certain works of literature (Catcher in the Rye is a good example) because some PC guy doesn’t agree with what’s being said. If you don’t like what someone is saying fine, but don’t censor them.

Who makes that determination? For you it’s OK because you know the guy, but what if some stranger down the street has issues with it? Say he comes out and calls your friend a bigot and a racist? Are you going to back the stranger or your friend? I’d bet you go with your friend and just because he uses terminology that other people feels is racist does it make him one?

are we still at this point? why do you think he quit? what would you personally compromise for 50 mil? once it gets to the point where it touches your concience, and "its" ability(think about that) is being abused, is it worth it?

I don’t really understand what question is really being posed here. Is it did Chappelle sell out for money? I thought he stepped out of his Comedy Central contract because of creative differences with the producers? If so, then no, he is not selling out for money. Regardless of it’s funny or not, Chappelle’s got his opinion and right to say it. If you don’t like what he has to say, change the channel. BTW the skit where Chappelle used music as a way to parody the races (blacks for beats, whites for guitars, etc.), is it OK or does that disturb you? I’m just trying to see if you’d say F-Chappelle because he’s racist. Come on man it was funny. Yes he’s poking fun at different races, but it doesn’t make him a racist.

So what’s the point here, it’s OK for Damon to use the word or not? We all know he was joking and not racist, so you going to fight for his fine and 3 month suspension to be lifted?

i love everybody. hell, my girlfriend's hispanic. i only really dislike people of all races, especially old asian ladies(sorry to the asian people in the forum) who can't drive, illegal immigrants, unfortunately mostly mexican, who drive around TX with no insurance, and those coward bitches who hurt one of my boys very badly in Iraq...whatever race they are.

I don’t put much thought into what a Frenchie would say. I really don’t care too much about what someone I don’t respect says to me because their opinion means nothing to me. Hell, any country of people who roll over not once, but twice then diss the people who save their asses, doesn’t mean too much to me (except Jean Van Develde because he’s a man for going down in flames at the British Open…………and Jean Reno…….but he’s really Moroccan so I don’t really think of him as a French guy).

BTW aren’t you racist for thinking all old asian ladies are poor drivers? (The truth is the young ones are probably worse). Anywho, always good to flex the old noodle here in this forum since I play with Hexx and Smoke a lot and we all know how that goes.

Finally it is intriguing how much your view on this matter is different than that of neft.
