gets him thrown off the air while a black man can say or whatever he feels like to make fun of a white man. I am soooo tired of all the racist jibberish. Having said that is it not WRONG to pull the white man off the air and let the black man go forwad with his racisim because his great grand parents suffered slavery at the hands of the white man?
When will we as a nationsee that ALL racisim is wrong. When will we become the color blind nation we profess to be?
WHy do we make fun when a black man does it but verbally castrate a white man for his lack of judgement?
When will we put the black man up to the same standards we hold the white man to?
I say everyone should be held liable for racist remarks no matter what color you are. If you fire one fire them all!
Do you feel the same or do you feel the white man deserves it beause he was born in that color skin?
The DOG chapman is a good man Should his career go it's death because he had a racist moment?

Are there double standards here?
Whites can't say it
blacks can denegrate all the want?

White is still the race of privilege and majority. It's the cross we bear. If any other racial/ethnic group became the majority, in terms of both population and wealth/power, the rules of prejudice (whether conveyed in a joke or not) would undoubtedly change.
You are correct in that it is a double-standard, technically. But when it comes to power and advantage (even if you're talking about averages), the double-standard is still within justifiable limits.

i changed into born and raised in New Orleans. New Orleans has lengthy been a chocolate city because of demographics. almost all of those persons that lived there are black and many cities contained in the Southeast are that way. that's a colloquialism to call an area a chocolate city. the guy is a good guy and by no skill in the slightest degree a racist. we adore him.

you cant hold blacks to the same standards as whites cus then that would mean they are the same as whites, they say they are equal well they dont act equal. they still need someone to blame for all their acts of indescretion. like that scientiest said all you have to do is look at the evidence and see blacks are not on the same level as whites, i mean come on blacks say it all the time those tests are geared for the white man, i cant do this cus the white man is keeping me down! well let me tell you something if you hadent been slaves then two facts are certain.#1 this country would be better off. #2 look at africa now you would be there instead of here wearing your jordans and listening to crap i mean rap . you get out of life what you put in it.

There should be no 'white & black' however, racism remains. It is not what one says, however, how the say it. Until our country accepts the word 'acceptance' there will always be racism. You keep referring to him as the 'white man' like he should have some 'special' privelage. Get real people. Get real. Life is tough, get over it.

We should not tolerate racism of any kind by anyone.
