(l-r : Greenberg, Golic. Off-camera, a seething, not quite post-racial society)
Of the monumental malapropism uttered by ESPN Radio’s Mike Greenberg Monday morning, Hip Hop Wired.com opines, “I’m sure ˜coon’ and ˜king’ could easily get confused right? If the answer is no, then everyone is in agreement as such a statement makes some speculate why ˜coon’ would even come out of his mouth, of all words.” While the usually innocuous Greenberg has apologized for the gaffe, such an embarrassing incident calls into question whether or not the broadcaster will continue to be fast-tracked by Disney and ABC and/or repeatedly paired with Mike Golic in painfully unfunny, forced faux “Odd Couple” scenarios. One man’s inadvertent racist remark could well be another’s career lifeline.
I thought Golic’s lifeline was NutriSystem? Or did they drop him as a sponsor?
The Sharpton led lynch mob in Crown Heights set back Jewish/Black relations 4000 years, a racist balck juror letting the lyncher free cause he’s black- 1000, Jesse Jackson’s “hymie” remark- 100 years, OJ Simpson- 4000 years, Louis Farrkhan- 1000 years, Cynthea McKinney- 50 years, blacks planning to firebomb a synagoge in NY- 1000 years, 3 blacks murdering a 90 year old Holocaust survivor- 1000 years, Jermiah WRight giving a “great big black brain” award to Farrakkkhan- 500 years, Wright yelping “dem Jews” won’t let him talk to Obama- 200 years, Wright saying he “really meant ZIonist”- 50 years, the “black church” giving Wright a free pass while whinning about racism- 500. Need I say more. Jews don’t live under your thumb. We don’t care what you think. You have treated us (and Asians) worse than the white man treated you. You act like slavemasters. WE are NOT slaves to yoru opinion or anger. Fuck off
It shouldn’t be necessary for me to renounce and repudiate the above remarks (nice work, “Yankel”, on multiple posts from the same IP address), but here goes : a short list of isolated, out of context incidents in no way mitigates calling MLK “Martin Luther Coon” . Unless it was an accident, in which case Greenberg might want to see a psychologist. But “you have treated us (and Asians) worse than the white man treated you”? Really? You sure about that? Because Googling “black plantation owners” doesn’t yield so many examples of blacks owning whites.
Blacks have been enslaving each other from the beginning of time to this very day. There is not a crime the KKK committed against blacks that blacks haven’t committed against Jews and Asians. The idea that Jews should worry about Blacks being angry about Greenberg’s comments are laughable. Blacks sure don’t seem to think much about how the hate speech and crimes committed by YOUR people affects Black/Jewish, Black/Asian, Black/Hispanic, Black/gay, and Black/female relations. It’s not all about you. We don’t quiver at the thought of making you angry. You have a lot of blind spots. You never seem to notice that when violent crime happens bwn Jews and Blacks Blacks are the perpetrator 99.99% of the time. When there is hate speech btw Jews and Blacks Blacks are the perpetrator 99.99% of the time. You fail to notice this or to take into account the animosity it causes. So now blacks are hostile towards Jews cause of Greenberg? ….. YAAAAWN. Nothing new. The “I’m so angry” card has had it’s day. No one cares any longer. You are simply looking for a target to vent at. Try your own people for a change
sorry, Yankel, who is this “your people”? As an American Jew, let me make it perfectly clear that a) you don’t speak for me and b) you’re banned from this section. Your brand of divisive hate fuckery is lame enough as is, but multiple posts under different handles aren’t gonna fly.
I’ve yet to read one single serious suggestion that Mike Greenberg or other Jews would face retribution for the former’s comments.
