We live in a waaaay tooo politically correct world. Yes, we should all be sensitive to the things we say, but people need to grow thicker skins as well. Deion also ask the question "How many of us would want a camera on in our homes all the time for the stuff we say?"

1. Coopers comments were way out of line regardless the color of his skin; people get murder everyday does that make it right?

2. Cooper was not in his home when he said it so he was subject to public opinion

3. If you are using Deion Sanders as the needle to your moral compass you might want recalibrate it.

It been one thing if Cooper told a off color joke with the N word in it but his comments were disturbing to say the least.
