now I may have to go face HR....did I do something wrong here?


If you work for a big company, I could easily see you getting fired over this. I'm not joking. It just depends how hard the Cam fan wants to go with it. He holds your future with that company in his hands.

At a minimum, this guy owns the place. He'll file lawsuit if he ever gets fired or passed over for a promotion. This could have been very calculated on his part. Hard to say without knowing him.

Why white people dislike Cam


It's attitude. The same reason I don't like Johnny Football who's white. He's un-likable because of his attitude. The reason I disliked Cam's interview wasn't because of his skin pigmentation, or because he dances or messes around, but because his behavior was ugly and not what I think we should see displayed from the leader of the team, representing that team. It ALWAYS gets back to the way you conduct yourself. That should never be a racial thing. It's a HUMAN thing.

Cam is nothing like Manziel. Cam gives back to the community with his time and money. He likes kids and does things for them. Even got his teammates giving away TD balls to kids.

So what about his attitude again? He took loss hard, he does not like to lose. His character is unquestionable.

No thanks.

If I wanted to use the ridiculous "N-Word" I'd have done so. What Jackson said was as close to what I could type out here as possible. I'm quoting the fricking movie, not using any "bad" word myself.

Yes. You're a supervisor, you don't know this guy, and first thing Monday morning you pull some dumb shite like that? You're not fit to be a supervisor.

At ease, Francis

I won't, despite it being exceedingly stupid.

I'm 45, and actually share your frustration with racism like that. Very few things piss me off more than having some white a-hole decide he needs to be a racist in front of me and do so assuming that because we share the same skin color I'm going to nod and go along and agree.

That being said, the fact that you were at a shitty party with a group of assholes does, in no way, suggest that most white men over 40 are anything other than white and over 40.

Some are racists...some aren't.

Some of us can dislike Cam Newton for reason completely independent of the color of his skin. I'll actually do exactly hat Dr.King suggested and judge him based on his character...which sucks donkey balls.

He has started his new career off with a bang and you can expect it only go downhill from here. You might want to get rid of him now before he sues y'all

Cam reminds me of Magic Johnson, except as if he's wearing a Magic Johnson mask. Nothing about the guy appeals to me other than his athletic ability.

He took loss hard, he does not like to lose.


No one does...but they behave better than Cam did. What we saw was what used to be known as a sore loser. Cam certainly enjoys rubbing it in and showing off while winning...when you lose, you need to stand there and take it. He didn't, which is why he's being universally called out.

His character is unquestionable.


His time at Florida and his being shopped around prior to signing with AU beg to differ...

If you are asking this the answer is yes, and I don't think we are getting the full story. Congrats on being unemployed though

The new guy is the racist since he apparently believes that Cam Newton's race should immunize him from being made fun of.

Do I think you're racist or what you said is? No.

Do I think it matters in this situation? No.

HR will make a very big deal out of this, and you will be lucky to escape with your job and a mark on your record.

It would be easier to get rid of you than face an expensive, lengthy lawsuit.

He gets somewhat of a pass from me - he had a much tougher time being the first black starting QB in the league. I didn't pay attention to his comments supporting Cam the past few weeks.

But, as a player - heck, I tend to default in backing Louisiana players unless I have a good reason not to.



He wasn't the first black starting qb in the league. Just the first to start in a superbowl.
