Yes... People today are crying bloody murder at every statement... But I suppose when you are in public eye, your employer and your audience may want you to use more discretion....

im two-sided with it. i think we as a race should mos def make examples out of these people and show that we arent just going to sit back and let them say whatever they so please BUT at the same time we can't go crying everytime someone makes an offhand comment because its not fair if we allow that **** to slide when black people do it and then turn around and get offended if another race does. if ur gonna come down on this white radio hosts then we gotta bring the rap artists and song writers down wit em.

Comments like those should never be overlooked. How about people should just keep their mouth shut and quit saying offensive things in public. You find more and more hidden racism coming out these days. White people are used to talking that stuff with their friends at private parties and it is slipping out. It isn't only the white people saying offensive things in public. Just recently Will Smith stated that ****, in his mind, probably thought that his reasoning for the Holocoust was right. Okay, many people might have taken what Will Smith said out of context but he shouldn't have said it. The way that the Jews were murdered during the Holocoust isn't justifiable. Yeah, people understood what Will was trying to say, but who asked him to speak out on world topics? He just need to stick to acting and keep his mouth shut because talking out against Jews is not going to help his career. For one thing, they own half of Hollywood. So it is not only white people saying offensive things in public. Whether it is white or black people making racial comments, none of them are acceptable.

But he is right. **** thought he was doing the world an act of justice by creating a perfect **** race. Now while it is a sensitive topic, that doesn't mean that an entertainer shouldn't speak express his subjective opinion. That's just silly. Nobody had to ask him to speak on that...so he doesn't need your nor anyone else's public approval. and the Jews that "own" half of Hollywood aren't even real Jews of Hebrew decent...soo...Hey... Racial comments are apart of life...and to hide and shun them is to pretend like the issues they pertain to don't exist.

I didn't say that he needed anyone's approval to say what he said. It wasn't wise for him to say what he said. Like I mentioned before, he is an actor. Actor's views aren't taken seriously anyway. We look to them for entertainment and not for them to speak out on world affairs. What he said didn't make any sense. Jews, whether Hebrew descent or not, were visciously murdered. With a sensitive topic like that, he should have had enough wisdom not to say anything. Anyone in their right mind wouldn't defend **** in public. Also, what does the Jews owning half of Hollywood not being Hebrew descent have to do with anything? You lost me on that one. They are still Jews and they do own most of Hollywood, and they ALL agree against what **** did to their people. So whether they are Hebrew descent or not they were offended by what Will Smith said.
