Re: Doug Williams said Wha'?
 

[QUOTE=SkinEmAll;273199]Guys, Im sorry!! I meant to follow up with that post, but the family needed me and then company stopped by to visit. I promise Im not a looney and I guess the joke really doesnt reach far out of my little circle. Anyway there is a band,Type O Negative, who are not a racial band by the way, who have a song, Kill all the white people, that really is a joke song. It has no true meaning, and is kinda of tongue in cheek. A friend of mineback then, who was black, would always start singing the lyrics to this song anytime race was discussed, as a joke ofcoarse. So there you go, please dont be offended, and if anyone was or just thought Ive flipped my lid, I apologize sincerely. And just for the record I think it is way cool that we have two black coaches going to the superbowl, but more importantly we have two GREAT and derserving coaches going to the superbowl.[/QUOTE]

In re-reading my post I realized that it was unduly harsh. So, I apologize. I was 99% sure that you didn't mean anything by it, but I didn't get the joke and was really perplexed. So, I just jumped the gun because statements like that, even when they're part of a joke, can create a big mess. Sorry bud and I hope this public apology is acceptable. Cheers.

By the way, I've made a few jokes on this site that went awry and caused a fuss. I think it happens to everyone at least once.

Re: Doug Williams said Wha'?
 

I remember a few years back when the press was making a big deal about Ed McCaffrey, (the WR from Denver). They kept saying things like he is fast even though he is white. Like they couldn't believe it or something, as if he really wasn't a white guy he just had a really good disguise.
The same thing with Jason Sehorn a few years ago. If I had to hear about the "only white starting CB in the NFL", one more time I was going to hurl something at my TV.

Basically what I am saying is that the racism cuts both ways.

Yup. Case in point.....Michael Irvin's comments about Tony Romo. The guy should have been suspended, censured, fired, or something.

what did that goofball say. as far as your other comments, i dont think you were out of line. that statement, alone, meritted a response similar to the way you responded.

He basically said that Tony Romo is too athletic to be all white and that he must have some black blood running through his veins. I'm paraphrasing of course as I do not remember exactly what he said.

[quote=TAFKAS;273025]He talked about this the other day. Just how he was so wrapped up in just being a football player on Super Bowl Sunday and trying to lead his team to victory, that he didn't think of deeper signifance really while he was in the moment. I can understand that.[/quote]
