Where's the outcry over this part-owner of an NBA franchise that said this?
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I never thought I'd say this sh*t, but baby I'm good," Jay Z began to rap. "You can keep your p*ssy. I don't want no more Bush. No more war, no more Iraq. No more white lies, my president is black."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that not offensive? Is that not racist? So Marge Schott got run out of MLB in part for saying that Adolf Hitler did some good things for Germany AT THE BEGINNING, and the NFL can't possibly have such a race baiting owner as Rush Limbaugh, but the media is okay with this NBA owner?

I would comment but I don't see color.People tell me I'm white and I believe them because police officers call me sir.

Did you just compare a rather obscure lyric to someone's WORSHIP of Adolf Hitler? Schott had all sorts of Nazi paraphernalia, and her comment about Hitler building roads wasn't the only batshit crazy thing she said.

WHO they speak for in Black America,
they speak for themselves and like minded people agree with them. Sort of like.....JayZ and rush limbaugh

So to go back to the earlier claim that they make their money off of Black people, I don't see Blacks paying for their appearance fees, etc...
yeah you are right, the Rainbow/PUSH extortion racket they have going is an equal opportunity leech for blacks and whites

That's the most dishonest and condescending thing that someone can say.
EVERYONE sees color. It's how you deal with that that matters.

he is being sarcastic

Rush blew it. He was in like Flynn and he had to make that ignorant and provocative statement about McNabb.
What the frick is his problem? He is obviously hard-wired to be an a-hole, and if he isn't allowed to follow his dream than it's his own damn fault.
He would have been good to go 6 years ago but the McNabb thing and the Michael J. Fox thing ended it for him.
If you're going to be an a-hole you have to pay the consequences.

Personally, I took what he said about McNabb as a shot at the media, not at McNabb. I was stunned when Tom Jackson and Michael Irvin went so apeshit over it.

dude that is exactly what he was hired to do on that show and ESPN wasn't prepared for the fall out it caused.

If I recall correctly, she said that Adolf Hitler did some good things for Germany at first...
But my point was that she was an owner who got in trouble for what she said. Rush Limbaugh is causing controversy because of things that he said, more specifically that he is insensitive to African-Americans, i.e. racist. Don't say that Jay Z made a rather obscure rap lyric. Do you want the even more racist quote of Young Jeezy who was standing on stage with Jay Z (I didn't include his because he isn't part owner of a pro franchise). Jay Z rapped it on the night of Obama's inaguration. What if that is insensitive to white people? Should he be stripped of ownership of the Nets?

they resented him even being there and they took it as an opportunity to get rid of him.
I think the McNabb comments were off base, but he wasn't even really making a point about McNabb but about the media that hypes players up. The same points that Limbaugh made about McNabb being over rated without the "black quarterback" description attached to it have been repeated in the 6yrs since then by the Philly media. Doesn't anyone remember that McNabb has been shopped around every off season for the last 4 years?

Exactly. Tom Jackson didn't get upset when it happened. It took an entire week of Rush getting bashed by the NAACP for Tom Jackson to apologize the people of the country for not standing up to Rush when he said it. I think Tom knew he wasn't taking a shot at Donovan McNabb, but after all of the media circus followed, he had to look good in front of the camera the next week.

She made other comments, and idolized Hitler. She had a shitload of Nazi gear.
What was this thing that was allegedly insensitive to white people? And no, I don't think that Jay-Z should be stripped of his franchise.
Schott was forced out by MARKET CONDITIONS. People didn't like giving a fricking Nazi their money.
If Limbaugh buys the Rams, and people react the same way, then he'll sell as well.

Yeah I'm pretty sure if he would have run the Mcnabb comments with his bosses before going out there, they probably would have told him to not say it.
Let's not pretend that ESPN hired him to say Mcnabb was overrated cause he was black.
Posted on 10/13/09 at 11:39 am to supatigah
I agree. If Rush didn't try to go over the top and add the racial element into it, no one would have said anything, because he IS over rated. Hell, I've been the one on here telling you guys that McNabb has no heart and that TO was right about him...

don't be so naive, they hired him to be rush limbaugh and they weren't prepared for the fall out he caused by being himself.
