Is he a racist bigot...sounds like it..but the problem that I see is he was in private with his girlfriend having a calm discussion regarding his wishes and beliefs. We all should be safe from being prosecuted for the things we say in private to our mates. I know this is not the case but it is crazy that it has gotten to this point where you cannot confide in your mate in the privacy of your own home/hotel room without being worried that you will be condemned for it. I am not talking about plots to murder someone or things like that. But there are many things that I tell my wife that are meant for her and my ears only in the bond of marriage I expect and trust that it stays that way.
The ironic part of it is, which I brought up in a thread the other day...once again...A white man makes a comment that is racially "incorrect" and the world freaks out...meanwhile influential blacks all over the nation are posting explicit hateful slurs towards whites and its ok because they are mad & offended....two wrongs don't make a right...anyways I think that it is unfortunate that he feels that way about the men that work so hard to make him millions every year. But I do not feel that it should be public issue since this was obviously a ploy for money/blackmail or publicity made by his girlfriend. Either way the damage is done so there is no way to stop the judgment train now. Crazy how a few words can create such chaos and upheaval.

Yeah but even though it is public, like I stated earlier too that if my boss paid me millions every year he could call me a homo hillbilly pie faced pig fvcker. Just keep sending me those millions every year..

Lol.

Having experienced discrimination/racism at work, school, and in general I can say that I would personally not take the money.

IMO most of the time all discrimination suits are about money anyways...
The only thing that I would not do for the right amount of money is hurt my family or denounce my God.
Friends come and go...opinions and values change as time changes.
words ultimately mean nothing in all reality. It is just a matter of pride... I have had that beat out of me for free so I would gladly take millions to be called names or even slandered.

Not for me. My ethnic background isn't changing anytime soon so no amount of money is worth it to me. Call it pride or whatever but I never took money from anybody. My family and background are obviously linked, allowing myself to be hated on bc of that is basically denouncing my family IMO.

I can respect that Doc.
I was raised with the rhyme "sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you."
I did not take to that very well when I was young. I thought it was a rhyme made for pussies.
Now with a family to look after I understand the concept of the rhyme so I try not to let words/name calling get me angry to the point of violence or retaliation.
Sitting behind bars thinking about how a few words that some idiot said to me is causing me to miss out on my children growing up is a sobering reality.
I would not sue someone because they called me a name unless it was untrue and I lost my job over it.
If I did not like the way I was being treated or talked to at my job. I would just find another job and quit.

I was raised the same way brother but it got to a point where it wasn't just me anymore. It was my younger brother, my baby sister, my cousins, family friends, etc were getting threats of violence, harassment, physical altercations, and more. And like you I thought that rhyme was for the weak lol. I've never been one to promote violence but will admit to resorting to it after many attempts to avoid it in the first place.

I don't have any children yet so I respect that your priorities are vastly different than mine. I don't have young mouths to feed and kids to help raise and I commend you for thinking of your family before your ego.

I wreak my havoc on these ppl psychologically now rather than physically so I can't exactly say I've matured much In this regard. thankfully things have quieted down for the most part so I just continue to mind my own business like usual lol.
