Okay, how about this. Rush Limbaugh says the same comment, and he is GONE the next day. You may not think the comment is racist, but why in the hell should our side give them a pass? Hold them to the same standard. Besides, why don’t we do a little substituting and see. What if Olbermann had said the Buffalo Bills player “played for chitlins and collard greens?” I think everyone would see that as racist, and it’s no different.
You can 'what if' all day long. Tell me what was racist in the statement that Olberman did make. Like I said before, there may have been some stereotyping, but he said nothing that I know of that indicated there was some inherent superiority of his race to the guy he was talking about. Understand?
