Good morning, Neo.
Did you have a problem with Howard Cossell when he said about the fast black running back, "Look at that monkey go!"? What about the Dodgers general manager who claimed that blacks don't swim too well because their muscles are denser?

There are plenty of jokes and comedy routines by guys like Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy which joke about these kinds of topics, in addition to water mellon and chicken jokes. Yet because the above slurs were made in a professional and non-joking environment, both offenders got fired.

Clinton's remarks were seen by the Irish as offensive. Proof of that has been posted here. He too should have been fired over them.
