Cincinnati is so different from Columbus and Cleveland. They might as well annex into West Virginia. Beautiful city. Stupid people like that give it a bad name.

Yes, it's offensive. Look, just because there are ridiculous idiots out there who take offense to everything doesn't mean you have to swing in the opposite direction to counteract their foolishness.

There are still legitimate things that are offensive in society. White kids wearing shirts with adult approval that say "Negro" and "Coon" on them is legitimately offensive.

Yes because he is a comedian.

This is a youth basketball team. Not one adult thought "maybe the kids will get kicked out for this should this be something they really should do?"

But again. You are comparing what a comedian would do to what a YOUTH basketball team did.

This sounds likr something a fraternitys intramural flag football team would do in order to be edgy. Im just legitimately confused as to what adult actually thought this was a good idea.

Meh. You can be pretty racist if you have the right amount of melanin in your skin, or enough socialist democrat bonafides, and nobody will say boo about it.

See? You can be a bigot all you want, as long as folks think you’re coming from the right side.

I'm a racist. I'm a real big racist. What you going to do about it, bitch?

This shite really needs to stop. As soon as people stop kowtowing to the perpetually offended, people can be happy and be themselves. It was funny. Who cares if it offends somebody.

Not that I approve of this. But I think that even SJWs laugh about this story when nobody’s looking.
