So Jamie Foxx says: “I got a new movie coming out, Django, check it out…Django Unchained, I play a slave. How black is that? In the movie, I have to wear chains. How whack is that? But don’t be worried about it, because I get out [of] the chains, I save my wife, and I kill all the white people in the movie.
Riley Cooper says "he would fight every nigger here" and has to make apologies.
“I am so ashamed and disgusted with myself. I want to apologize. I have been offensive. I have apologized to my coach, to Jeffrey Lurie, to Howie Roseman and to my teammates. I owe an apology to the fans and to this community. I am so ashamed, but there are no excuses. What I did was wrong and I will accept the consequences.”

The difference is Jamie Foxx said it to 200 million TV watchers and Riley Cooper said it on his own time while off the job but just happened to be caught off guard in a candid moment.

Let a white person say nigger & the shit hits the fan every time yet a nigger can run around saying it all day long. I don't care if people end it with an a or with an r, it's all the same to me. The only reason I care at all is because of the effect it's having on my team.
Blacks bleat all the time about not being treated equally. I have no incentive to treat them equally when they apply a double standard to themselves.

I got an email from the Eagles organization saying Riley has been excused from all team activities. I'm left with the impression that this is the beginning of the end for him as an Eagle.
Yeah, he's finished.
Double standard too... Jaguars cornerback Brian Williams went on a racist rant after being stopped by police for a DUI, and the NFL and his team did NOTHING about it. He didn't even miss a minute of playing time.
Here's a sample of what HE said:
'The officer involved wrote in his notes that Williams called him a, "Honky mother (expletive)."The statement goes on to say that Williams said, "I (expletive) your momma ... I (expletive) your wife twice." It got worse when, according to the officer's notes, Williams said he would do something to the officer's daughter.'

Wow. I read a lot of sports news and I hadn't heard about this, I still wouldn't know if you hadn't posted it. So why does he get away with making those remarks but someone else doesn't? What Riley said doesn't even come close to being as offensive as that. I think they are making an example out of him in order to pacify the bitchin' blacks.

It was from his DUI arrest in 2006, but didn't become public until 2008 when him withdrew his plea.

I've been thinking about this word a lot the past couple of days. I had never said that word publicly before Julie. I sure hope saying her name isn't like rubbing the genie lamp.
I had never said retard/tard publicly before Mock.
I'm seeing a pattern here.

I think his fine could be close to forty grand & I think his time with the Eagles is over. There is division in the locker room even though some key (black) players have stepped up in "support" of Riley. Add to that the fact there will be a bulls eye on his back while on the field now. People are watching to see how our new coach is handling it & some are saying he needs to take control NOW, their big "now" not mine.
At first I thought it could blow over but now I'm not so sure.

I respectfully disagree.
In every game he plays in, every defensive back (whom 99% are black) will be taking shots at him. Every snap he plays, someone will be targeting him. If he's in on a running play, he will be crack blocked. Every route he runs, he will be checked and blocked. Every ball he catches will earn him the hardest hits any player can give him.
Guys will take penalties and fines to get cheap shots on him...

Not if he looks and acts as he is told to....That training is gonna pay dividends for the Eagles and team spirit.

Nice one zero.
Another recent example - as in the past few days - would be a sitting US Congressman, Charles Rangel NY (D), comparing Tea Party members to 'white crackers'.
I'm sure you've heard about it, right?
Double standard baby, gotta love it.

Makes me feel somewhat irate. They are running Riley out of town on a rail, the fuckers.

Timely comment. I was just talking about that subject earlier with someone. I'm all for progress but times are changing in a bad way.

Nigger nigger nigger.
I remember a scene from the film Glory about the first all black union regiment to fight in the American civil war.
Denzel Washingtons character has a real chip on his shoulder and he's giving Morgan Freemans character some shit for being an “uncle tom” etc.
Morgan Freemans character turns round and says to Denzels character “shut up! These white boys are fighting and dying in their thousands, fighting for you fool! I know because I've dug their graves! The only nigger around here is you!”
Right on brother right on!
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.

Zero, maybe you're right after all. The front office keeps insisting he's not going anywhere, I'm not saying I believe them, they've gotten over on me before but I feel more positive about it today than I did a few days ago.
The cynic in me knows they are in a bind at WR right now & they've been grooming Riley for probably three years at this point. They need him.
