A lot of people (on the Internet at least) seem to equate racial slur with racist personality. At least that's what I noticed browsing various forums. If I called a black man a nigger, does that automatically label me a racist? Those are just words. I'm not a racist; I don't believe one race is superior to another, so my words are hollow - they're wrong, yes, but there's no meaning behind them. It's like, how many times have you been upset at your parents and yelled out "I hate you!"? We've all done it, in anger, but did we really mean it? No.

Honestly, that's just what I hope it was, but I don't know the guy, and regardless of how much truth was behind those words, the public probably won't sway to his favor anymore. I wish someone we didn't like did it..Like um, Tom Cruise. He's fun to hate. :D
