the eddie thing was wrong and distasteful and so forth, but he was trying to be funny, not trying to insult ala symonds monkey taunts.

i think there is good awareness in general about racism, and most people are disgusted at the ferals that carry on poorly like the bus video that came out a few months ago. but if we cant have some racist jokes (not on national radio) we shouldn't be able to call burgey an anicent old **** either. and we need that. we really need that.

The biggest part though was 4-5 days earlier he was being praised for his actions and stating how such a thing should never be said etc.

That was why it was so so large and made the front page of every major newspaper in this country (and evidently even some overseas).
