Liberty guard Cappie Pondexter has apologized for Twitter postings over the weekend about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Pondexter tweeted on Saturday: “What if God was tired of the way they treated their own people in there own country! Idk guys he makes no mistakes.”

She later tweeted: “u just never knw! They did pearl harbor so u can’t expect anything less.”

Pondexter posted an apology Monday, which read in part:

“I wanna apologize to anyone I may hurt or offended during this tragic time. I didn’t realize that my words could be interpreted in the manner which they were.”

It’s a good thing nobody gives a $hit about the WNBA, or some might take offense.

That is not an apology.

She didn’t realize that her words could be interpreted in the manner which they were?

Riiiiiiight.

She just got caught with her “culture” showing.

A couple of slime rapper also made comments like this. One talking about saving his Ho’s from the waves, another about if his b**ch left him, he’d just wait for a Japanese FLOAT by and pick up another one. Of course, this is being ignored by the main slime media. If it had been a white person, or a GOP rep, it would be front page news.

She played at Rutgers and was one of the more vocal players when Imus made his ‘Nappy’ comments.

What a hypocrite and loser . . .

The float joke was made by that famous black guy Gilbert Gottfried.
Brilliant.

This is tame compared to what some Chinese are saying. They’re a bit ticked about the Yunnan quake being ignored.

But...WNBA? Boring!

We have had people make the same comments here. Unfortunately this woman has nothing on certain freepers who share her "culture."

“I wanna apologize to anyone I may hurt or offended during this tragic time. I didn’t realize that my words could be interpreted in the manner which they were.”

“Gee, I had no idea people would interpret my words to mean exactly what they mean.”

Gilbert Gottfried has been saying HORRIBLE stuff for years. He's been the Aflack bird for years. I guess these remarks were worse than his others? I don't think so...but, hey, it's their call.

I can't say I like Gilbert—he's a vile, nasty little guy—but he is funny in a mean way. The few times I've heard him, I laughed and was mad at myself for doing so.

This WNBA doofus...really....what does anybody expect? Hope she invested the money from the Imus shake down well. I doubt she'll get a job as a public speaker.

Seriously, I thought the WNBA had folded.

Some most people should not have twitter accounts. They forget that it's not private email.

I love Twitter for this very reason.

It allows people to confirm their stupidity.

I’m sure there a some eco-libs that believe Japan deserves this for their treatment of dolphins and whales.

While I don’t approve of Japan’s hunting of marine mammals, I don’t think it warrants this kind of destruction.

If God were looking to wipe out a population, he would start with San Francisco and proceed to the Middle East.

Rapper 50 cent tweeted jokes about Japan and tsunamis, the AFLAC duck, Gilbert Gottfried, tweeted jokes and was fired, and now an NBA player. When the hell was it ever okay to make jokes about stuff like that? It is totally disgraceful. What ever happened to decorum?
