ESPN Host Fired for Allegedly Calling Co-Host ‘House N*gger’
Mediaite ^ | 8/14/13 | Andrew Kirell

ESPN has fired Numbers Never Lie host and former NFL star Hugh Douglas after he purportedly called his co-host Michael Smith a “house n*gger” and an “Uncle Tom” during a drunken confrontation earlier this month. During the National Association of Black Journalists Convention earlier this month in Orlando, Douglas allegedly shouted the slurs at his co-host. Deadspin was the first to report on the incident: Douglas was, again, very drunk. Lots of people were drinking, so this was less of a big deal, but then he started making some movements toward the stage at the club. … One person told

Good.

Blacks need to be made to play by the same rules.

The liberal networks need to start banning other celebrities — rap stars, athletes, etc., that use the “N-word.”

It’s past time they play by the same rules.

if he’d spelled it “**gga” would have been okey-dokey, that’s just how folks talk in the hood.

The dirty secret is that blacks use the N word all the time. When they’re not mad they might go with “Nigga” but when their back is up they go full N-word. Watch and see.

Not going to happen. I am so tired of all this nonsense. Just give the blacks a few states and let them all go away and fight it out. If whites are so oppressive and racist, blacks should be happy to live in their own African-American utopia.

Ha, ha, ha...

Since he was drunk, were the slurs, slurred?

“Just give the blacks a few states and let them all go away and fight it out”.

How about Alaska? Plenty of room for a homeland, and since a lot of ghetto crime is blamed on summer heat, it would be nice and cold.

Ha, ha, good luck with that one! There was a black separatist group that wanted Florida.

I can hear the Freepers from Alaska and Florida howling now. ;-)

I volunteer Bouvet Island.

They can shout at the penguins and fight over the seals. And it’s well out of the way.

Would the LBJ version of the N word, i.e.; “nigra,” have been acceptable?

That was tried in Liberia. Didn't work out that well.

Why do we never hear about poor behavior at the "National Association of White Journalists" Convention?

No, now the Blacks are boycotting Florida. I invite them all to head up to Detroit and revel in that liberal paradise.
