It would be interesting to compare the reaction to both Michael Irvin and Kosmo Kramer. Personally I think both are inconsequential clowns.

1. irvin is a clown. i don't understand his appeal.

2. I just want to place bets on who will be the first minority member

to shout epithets against the white race like they're suffering from Tourrettes....I mean, besides me.

12. Wow. That bet was over a loooong time ago. The honorable Elijah? X? Ali?

My god - there were lots.

Of course, the similarity is *merely* superficial. Except in the minds of misguided white folks.

3. jesus, its a joke. a stupid racist joke, but still a joke. hes a football player.

not the pres-nit.
my xmas wish is for a little tolerance and a litle thicker skin.

[MrSlayer]

4. Irvin is a crackhead.

What can you expect from this idiot? No one will make an issue of this at all.

5. ROFL!! More likely it's satire - aimed at white folks who say of every black qb...

... how athletic they are.

EDIT: Because everyone knows that a black qb can't be a good decision-maker, or a good leader, or good a reading defenses. They're just good runners, and superb atheletes.

6. I think you just gave Irvin credit for more coherent thoughts

than he ever had in his life.

7. Disagreement noted.

8. dupe - my bad.

9. what, exactly, makes that racist?

if I said I could tell a white woman is dating a black man by the way she dances, does that make me racist?

*donning flame retardant suit*

please note at when Jimmy the Greek made his infamous comments that led to his firing, I agreed with him, and didn't see what the big deal was.

0n edit: also note that I can't stand Michael Irving.

[bigriver]

10. You think Jimmy the Greek was right?

Wow.

[CatWoman]

11. do you deny that slaves were bred and paired like animals

for both accentuating certain characteristics, as well as to increase the slave owner's stock?
