Do you think Bryon Gumbel comments was racist I think he was telling the truth, and he's half white?

YES OF COURSE THEY WERE! IT DOESNT SURPRISE ME ONE BIT...black people scream racism at every chance they get, but what they dont realize they are the racist ones! in the 2000s we shouldnt even be using the words black/white anymore. i just cant believe what i hear sometimes ..makes me sick

Yes, I had a guy come up to me in a bar and say "You must be part Mexican". I figured it was b/c my hair is dark, then he said "because you have big t**s like a Mexican girl".  Although my husband thought it was hilarious, a guy friend of mine almost kicked the guy's a**.  The only thing that stopped him was a cop walking by.  Jeremy had gotten into the guys face though and started in on him.  Then the officer walked over to see what was going on.\nJust ignore the racist idiot.  You don't need uneducated people like that in your life.

I wondered if I was the only one who thought he was racist. In an interview with members of the Texas Western team that beat my Wildcats, he kept trying to push them into talking about how they felt about the race aspect, even though they kept telling him it was just about basketball for them. There are still race issues in several areas of American life, but not as many as Stephen A. seems to see.\n\nI hate to admit that his over-the-top style is humorous at times, but give me Bill Walton or Charles Barkley any day.

The man is racist pure and simple and the worst kind at that.  \n\nHe is the kind that is lays low, the one that will hurt you when you least expect it.  I prefer the ones who show me hatred upfront.\n \n\nHis lengthy diatribe was not spontaneous at all.  Those were his  thoughts before he vocalized them in a frenzied rant.\n\nHis apologies were not sincere either, he's sorry he allowed his true self to show on public TV, is all.\n\nAnd make no mistake - whosoever makes excuses for him are JUST LIKE HIM.

i dont think it is fair but u have to look at it from all perspectives. that black guy may have gone through some racism of his own and may be venting his anger unfairly to other white ppl. at the end of the day all forms of racism and predujice is wrong. i'm black and i dont hold a grudge against any white persons so hope my opinion counts.

Racism is wrong no matter who it comes from. I'm black and I don't use the word cracker to say anything about a white person. Ignorance knows no color and any racism isn't right.

Yes, he was being racist. Unfortunately, people do not treat others in the way that they themselves want to be treated. His point has nothing to do with you, and is likely the result of the frustration he was feeling because of his alien status and the recent immigration ballyhoo. No he isnt worth you going to jail. Why dont people realize that they are being racially insensitive when comments like his are being made? Racism is not the one way street that most people believe it to be, and it is often an excuse for poor behavior.

Okay...im black as you can tell. eh..hemm. But I think there is alot of pre judging out there. Very ignorant statements like teh one by SLICK 77 is it? Shows that there is still racism out there.  The fact is there are tendancies in all races  but to say that that is  the only color to do them is absurd. I find most racists are people who either havent grown up around other races or have grown up around them and got hurt by the situations. You also have teh ones who havent amounted to to much in society's eyes and they turn to the opposite race and say things that you would think hmmm....."are they looking in the mirror". I am married to a white man......and we both still have some pre judgements about each other "alil bit". but we have 3 bi racial childen been together 10 years met at a amusement  park (working there) He grew up in a mostly white town about 10.000 people(has used teh word nigger) when his girlfriend was liking a black guy(so again there is teh hater situation) hate can really bring the racism out in you. Think about it. Its a coping mechanism. a BIG FAT EXCUSE to make your self feel better. Because other wise you would have to say 'Oh..i am NOT smart of enough..or cute enough.....or have a good job....or enough money..I could go on and on. This subject is soooo complex. I know the struggle that blacks have went thru but SOME HOODRATS and REDNECKS/HILLBILLIES need to look at it how it is.  Take responsibility for YOUR own actions.My husband and i have grown over years he has never called me a nigger . if he heard that now he would whoop up on somebody Sooooooo... to answer your question yes its still here but I believe its all from ignorance and people can grow out of it and from it. we both never thought of being with each other but ...we met at work and it grew from there................racists=HURT PEOPLE......WHEW!

He is not really from any of those groups, he just hates people. I think Lou is making a lot of people very mad and no giving any answers. He is not even a men when someone asks him about if he is racist or not, then again some people here are also ignorant and racist, living in a small boring town, narrow-minded individuals. They hate people from other countries, gays, fat, black, tall, small, they only like their female cousins, beer and their 300 a week pay check. Lou is getting all those fans to promote his crap, I beleive in freedom of expression but he is just wrong, stop the fat pig.

I'd say he's racist if he says he doesn't like ANY white girls.  I can't figure out why you like him in the first place.

omg no his dad isn't black. i don't know where you hear these things but you need to check your sources

i think that it may not even be a black or white issue with him, its who has the most overall finances. if blacks were more financially above whites he would put them first as well. he is going on stereotypes like the ignorant guy that answered the ? stated and he believes that the majority of blacks don't vote and have no idea what is going on in politics but hopefully it will be that big misconception that will get him out come next election.\nAs for someguyyoudo u sound just like that, a fag and a mighty ignorant one at that.

He was real wrong to say those nasty things, but i do not see how money would help anything. what really gets me is that i hear black people say that word and not one person even gasp, yet a white guy says it and they cant believe they have heard that word. Racism knows no color. to the lady who gave an answer addressed to me. I by no means meant to offend anyone. i really did not know there was a diff. i do appreciate you explaining that to me.

i don't think richards is racist and i thought those two assholes got what they deserved. richards reacted the way most people would when they are being heckled. he went and got even! i do believe richards went too far when he made those comments about hanging blacks. \n\nthose two idiots were just desperate for attention and they coudn't keep their mouths shut. if u don't like the comedy act shut your mouth or leave! they are only suing richards because they are broke ass motherfuckers who want money and they want to be on tv.

The show is called BLACK.WHITE No it did not change my look into the other race. The funniest part was how the black woman was not sexually attracted to her husband after he turned white, but the white couple were "falling in love all over again" when they turned black. The man was actually crying cause his wife was soo beautiful as a black woman.\n\nI was confused as to why the white man thought that white people still get up in Blacks faces going "Hey Nigg&r" Has he not heard of covert racism? I mean  he was waiting for that to happen so he could react calmly and show all black people how they should deal with that type of assault. Did he forget he was in California - not Alabama or Mississippi? And to be honest even in those places no one is just going to be up in your face like that.  \n\nOverall, I think that people are still in denial about the racism they harbor. They justify it and say well "they should do xyz" its never "lets get all the whites together and have an honest talk about our own racism..." the "focus group" on the show was orchestrated for the show, it was not a normal occurance among white people.

Oooh! Controversial!\n\nOld Enoch had one of the finest intellects of his generation - not even his enemies denied him that.\n\nHe has always been seen as a nasty old racist, but I don't think it was ever that simple. He wasn't being nasty about other races per se, as far as I recall. He was talking about the dangers of non-integration of new groups of people into British society.\n\nHe didn't manage to get this fine distinction across very well, though, and all his talk about rivers of blood certainly sounded very racist at the time. \n\nBut after 7/7, he could be viewed as having had a unique prophetic insight.

No, if white people where the chosen race, why would he need other races? White people don't always look good. And Asian people or African people can also be very pretty. Would you call Beyonce ugly? Or Lucy Lu?
