Yea, but Jimmy the Greek was telling the truth. Blacks ARE more athletic because only the strongest surived the brutal system of chattel slavery. The Greek's condemnation was not of blacks, but of an evil system which, in the end, turned out superior athletes. Somehow, that got twisted into rascism.

Politically incorrect? Yup. Honest? Yup. Something a lot of white people did not want to hear? Yup. Rascist? NO.

I guess you're right, considering we have no one at the moment, it doesn't set the bar very high.:lol:

That is stupid.

It was an obvious reference to the earlier remark of "finding your wallet", which was a reference of having a good day. For the racist people out there the first thing that pops in their head is 'Mexico','can’t find wallet', OH he must mean a Mexican stole his wallet.

They shouldn't fire a man simply because the network has racist stereotypical thoughts and can't follow a conversation.
