I don’t know how you read my post,because I never addressed the McNabb comments…as I understand that was a critique of the media…but at McNabb’s expense…which was foolish.
As for the whole “In Obama’s America” stuff…your analogy has the undertone of saying that the grandwizards are racist…therefore all the white kids are too. So I think your analogy backfired in validating how Rush’s comment looks pretty stupid and follows the same failed “logic” in basically calling Obama a racist…at the expense of unrelated people/incident.
Let me clarify a couple of things.
-
I donâ??t like rush.
-
Iâ??m not defending his comments as right or good in any way, I just donâ??t read racism.
Yes, that media comment was at mcnabbâ??s expense which makes him and idiot and an ass, but like I was saying, not racist. Being rude to an individual doesnâ??t make you racist.
I fail however to see how the obama comment was at the expense of unrelated people. My analogy was to say that rushâ??s comments had nothing to do with black kids except in how he believes them to relate to obamaâ??s ideology. Now you can say he is wrong about obama all you want, right or wrong, it doesnâ??t change the fact that the only thing being addressed is the ideology of an individual.
It is not a requirement of my analogy that the grand wizard actually believes what Iâ??m attributing to him, that makes the comment not racist. Weather the guy Iâ??m talking about is in fact racist or not has no bearing on my point.
Let me try again. Letâ??s hypothesize I say, â??George bush doesnâ??t like black peopleâ?? on national television. That is for the points of the discussion an almost identical statement with the white/black rolls reversed. Does that comment make me an idiot? Yes. Am I wrong? Probably. But it doesnâ??t make me racist. It does probably mean Iâ??m prejudiced against the individual, but that isnâ??t racism.
Was kanye westâ??s comment racist against whites? If not, then neither was Rushâ??s.
I agree they are both dumb comments though.
Then again, I attended a tea party, so I hate black people just like bush.

I never intended to even bother discussing any of Limbaugh’s political ramblings…or to be straw-manned into some debate about him being racist(you misreading my post)…I only pointed out that his comments,mainly his most recent comments,will possibly be a factor in how black players receive him as the owner of their team. Is that far-fetched? No. Come on DD,you’re better than that.
