    The point to the whole thing is that...

    Richard Sherman, well educated and well spoken, law abiding citizen, and beast on the football field, is called a thug for showing passion on the football field.

    Justin Bieber has to get arrested on felony charges to even be considered a thug. A white kid acting like a "thug" is "troubled." A black man with confidence that speaks with conviction, is a "thug."

    No. Of course, any excuse to try to make the PUNK SHERMAN another "victim of racism", must be pursued, by the RACE OBSESSED LEFT, obviously.

    Is that you, Stephen A. Smith?

    Oh, by all means, please cite all the "racism" Neal Boortz has practiced.

    We won't hold our breath, because...well, the usual....

    Most of the thugs I've know of have been white boys. Mostly Congressmen.

    Everybody is racist. Every single person has generalized either in their thoughts or verbally about at least one ethnic or racial group.

    The alleged "tip" would have allowed ANOTHER PLAY; the INTERCEPTION, by MALCOLM SMITH, was what ended the game.

    Perhaps they should have just referred to him as the (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)bag that he was.

    I'm more concerned with the degradation of the conversation we had going...

    I thought we were making progress but apparently that's not on the agenda today, huh?

    Apparently Bill Cosby is a thug also since his videos don't seem to be in vogue at the moment...

    [video=youtube;vNnxDbLoZog]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNnxDbLoZog[/video]

    What disturbs me most is not the conversation about race that we're having here but the vultures who seem to always swoop in when their game is "feeling" exposed and they think that maybe they can steer it to a profitable conclusion for their own sake.

    That includes congressmen, "journalists", foosball players, and even presidents...

    And I don't know what anyone has against Bill Cosby...

    Unless he's a threat to their game...

    Had he not tipped the ball, that would have been the game. He did just make a huge a play, no matter how you spin it.

    Actually, I often see it used to describe union members, especially it's knee-breakers.

    That's easy for you to say. There are no black people in Canada. I went to a Wal-Mart in Calgary once. Not a thug in sight; just a big flock of seagulls.

    Equally so...

    - - - Updated - - -

    Had Sherman not tipped it, no INT...

    Period...

    Oh no!

    He was hype after the game!

    How terrible!

    So, what's the point in whining about it?

    We'll find out come Super Bowl Sunday...

    Because most black people live in Toronto and Montreal. We have one million in Canada.

    The U.S. government used the same excuses for the Harlem and Watts ghettos. Let me guess, there's a liquor store on every street corner in Toronto and Montreal too?

    It's an issue because the American left has a vested interest in stoking racial, ethnic, and gender animosity. It's what keeps them in business. It's their lifeblood.

    Separating people out into different groups based on race, gender, income level and other identifying aspects, and pitting them against each other by convincing specific groups that their problems in life are due to being hated, feared, or unfairly exploited by the other groups, constitutes a majority portion of the current Democratic party platform. It is their stock-in-trade.

    In Quebec you can buy liquor at variety stores and super markets but in ontario you can only buy liquor at LCBO. That is owned by the provincial government. Or beer store. Which is half owned by the goverment.

    They get lots and lots and lots of tax money with those
