Why not go over and play street basketball in harlem, with commentry listened by thousands of people, and be called a white ********. Tell me you wouldn't give a ********! :rolleyes:
LF50, the difference is, Rex didn't call Leon a black ****, he was calling him "black as dog's guts", which if you look at a photo of Leon, he actually is. I'm not calling Rex right in using that comment, however I do not think it was a racist comment. He didn't call him a c00n, or a monkey-boy, or a black c*nt, he just used a phrase which is used to describe something that is dark. And as I said, Leon is definitely dark skinned.

This is starting to get a little sad.

Let's get one thing straight, what Rex said is offensive to a person of aboriginal origin. Rex KNEW he had sid the wrong thing and that's why he pulled up before finishing his sentence. I think it's a given he didn't mean to say what he did, but he still said it. Rex said the wrong thing and that's why he apologised END OF STORY!!!

I remember once when Sam 'the ****************' Newman was racist to Davis

Davis was wearing a black armband because I guess someone close to him had past on and Sam said

Sam "Why is he wearing a black armband?"

Other guy "Does that matter Sam"

Sam "Well you can't see it"

I don't think I've like Sam ever since
