That pig knew what he said. Everyone that calls someone something racial ALWAYS says they slurred their words. I hope that fool gets fired and is hated for the rest of his disgusting life.

This should not be surprising to anyone. He only said what was in his heart. He just thought he could slip it in without anybody noticing. So for all of you defenders of the white man who think that things have changed, they haven’t. Some are just able to hide it better than others.I am sure that there will be plenty of brothers and sisters coming on here later talking about how much they love the white man no matter what. It i no hope for you.

sorry about the typo,is no hope.

I have to agree with ya’ll below me because I don’t see how he got coon out of King and Junior by mixing the 2 up. Now if he had said,CANG the yeah thats a mistake but,we all know he will get a slap on the back and nothing else.

I know EXACTLY how he got Coon from King.

A Freudian slip, or parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that is interpreted as occurring due to the interference of some unconscious (‘dynamically repressed’) wish, conflict, or train of thought. The concept is thus part of classical psychoanalysis. The ironic thing is, I have always viewed him as a white version of a coon and because of that, I always hated that show.

I dunno yall, it sounds like an honest mistake. He’s also looking on paper and he could be thinking something mentally…like i said i dunno, I don’t think he should lose his job for it though.

Should have added. As black people, we have bigger fish to fry and we should stop getting too distracted by these guppies and stay focused on the sharks, that are truly having a negative impact on our everyday lives.

that just dont come out if he wasnt thinking it or made a joke about mlk eariler in the day he juz exposed his tru self

OMG! I’m in broadcasting too and there is no way to mix that up by trying to say it was a cross between King and Junior. That guy needs to be punished for his supposedly mistake against the African-American Community. I used to watch Mike and Mike in the mornings, but after that I don’t mess with in the closet racist. Stay strong brothers and sisters.

I wouldn’t give a f/uck if this was by accident or not. Those pale pilgrims are so accustomed to calling blacks out their name that this is nothing brandnew. No one should really be surprised by this at all. Even to this day I’ve seen comments by crackers saying they have ownership and papers on blacks. They can also get an a/ss whooping by me too. They can call me what they want but don’t call me for fronts. Nothing will change for they are the same ol pale, nothing a-ssed quakers that think they are relevent in a black person’s life.

ABSOLUTELY…what afrikasun said!

Ok guys, I m a frequent listener to Mike and Mike and this guy made a mistake. Lets not start the sit ins, protest and calling for the guys firing. He made a mistake and even issued an apology for it. Lets stop with the hypersensitivity. I hear more harsh words from other young blacks

im with afrikasun on this one unique019, we all know you say what you mean and you mean what you say right? things that “slip out” is what you really thnking, were grown, we all know that. i “used” to listen to the dude to and liked his commentary but after this stint, im done with him, because we know he was thinking “martin luther king nigga day” and it came out. and it’s not just because he’s white and secretley hates and admires black people because im done f**king with tiger “saleout” woods to. He dont want to associate his self with us because he’s playing a predominate white activity/sport… so “FU%K HIM” to. I love my people with all are flaws

mikeandmike@espnradio.com take it to the source

@coastaldreamer, thanks for the link, this is what i sent his ass…

Subject: F**K YOU TOO

message:
nothing much to say really, I “can” believe this came out your mouth, we know the true identity of you all(whites),were not oblivious to it, i guess education doesn’t change who you are inside, it just teaches you how to hide what you really are in a more academia way huh?

LOLLLLLLLLL! It probably was a mistake but it is hard to accept it as is. King. Coon. Ki. Co. Anyway, most people need to stop being so uptight. I would rather a person be up front to me as to someone that will smile in your face and stab you in the back later. But it is funny.

After reading all the comments about this, what he said might have been a mistake but does that make the ill statements about another race acceptable. Being white, black, brown or whateva, is it all right for one race to call out another race without any repricussions. In my vocabulary, I will not use ones race to identify them being an a*****e. I am above that. But, it’s like I stated earlier, I would rather someone or anyone express how they feel rather than smile in my face and stab me in the back.

OMG……SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!

F**K THAT…..HE DID’NT GET THAT TWISTED…THAT WAS ON HIS MIND BEFORE HE SPOKE IT OUT LOUD……LOL…I AGREE WITH JEFFREY1975 ALSO! F**K THAT….YOU CAN’T EVEN TELL IT’S HIS HOLIDAY IN AMERICA ANYWAY….

GUYS I SAY IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN THE ONLY TIME WHITE PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN BLACK FIGURES SUCH AS MARTIN LUTHER KING IS IT EITHER THEIR BIRTHDAY WHICH MORALLY FORCES THEM TO COVER THE TOPIC ARE EVENT. OR IF THEY PLAY SPORTS HAVE A MOVIE COMING OUT OR RELEASING AN ALBUM WHICH IN RETURN KEEPS THEIR CAREER RELEVANT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM EXCEPTING US AS BLACK PEOPLE IT’S ALL ABOUT RATINGS. THATS IT. THATS WHY WHEN I WATCH THESE LATE SHOWS LIKE JIMMIE KIMMEL, CONAN, LETTERMAN, LENO AND SO ON I SOMETIMES CRINGE BECAUSE THE FANBASE OF THOSE SHOWS ARE 97% WHITE FOLKS AND WHEN THEY HAVE BLACK MUSICIANS ON YOU CAN LOOK AT THE AUDIENCE WHEN THEY SHOW CLOSE UPS THAT THEY WOULD RATHER HAVE SOMEONE OF THEIR RACE PERFORMING BUT THEY STILL BOB TO THE MUSIC NOT THE BLACK PERSON SINGING IT.

I love it how one person says something and everybody gets all upset… Here is the thing EVERYBODY is just too SENSITIVE… I don’t really care what people have to say as far as race goes… If something like that bothers you it is because you don’t really understand what DR. KING was all about. He would be ashamed of some of the comments people have posted. DR. King was all about nonviolence and loving people even when they hate you because that is what GOD is about. I hope that this man is really sorry because I have already forgiven him and if he is truly sorry so has GOD. Read up on DR. KING and his values before you go jumping off half-c**ked.

sounds like it was an accident BUT…he clearly refers to mlk as a coon behind closed doors.

Al should be up his ass on this one, but he won’t get fired because he is Jewish and they own the station – that’s why there are so many on it.

I see that there are a lot of Uncle Tome house negros out here in BP world. It is that fear of the white man that makes you reject his evil deeds toward you. Once you get a backbone, you will take him to task. You Toms criticize Al Sharpton (because the white man does) but you are too afraid to do what he does which is to challenge the white man. Instead it is easier to cower away and said who cares. House niggas!

@BBW04,

Your right to a certain extent, God/Yahwaeh does forgive people, and so have we blacks for 400 years and counting of everyday hatred, so to say we dont or haven’t forgiven is wrong, we have! for a long time, one thing you failed to acknowledge about the Father to, is that he also destroyed his enemies to!

Right on n0gar!!!!

AND ESPN WHO OWNS ABC THE NETWORK, WILL CONTINUE TO APOLOGIZE TO MAKE AFRO-AMERICANS FEEL LIKE IT WAS JUST A MISTAKE, WHEN WE KNOW BETTER. HE MEANT EVERY WORD HE SAID, AND WE HAVE AFRO-AMERICANS WHO WORK @ ESPN AND ON THE ABC NETWORK. AND THEY’LL CONTINUE TO WORK THERE, WITHOUT FEELING THAT THE COMMENT WAS DISRESPECTFUL.

These sites are used to make black people show their ignorance. Its always something a black person did or something a white person said. Then everyone gets on here and falls in that same dum trap, show your own ignorance by making all these insulting comments. You want to overcome this race thing….black people, lets get an education instead of running the streets worrying about our clothes/hair/shoes. Make yourself more qualified than a job at a fast food place. Other races are getting their education, black people want to protest all day, and then at the end of the day…caucasins, mexicans, indians and etc. are still black peoples’ bosses. How about that????

@ n0gar, U right Al should be all over that man, but he’s to busy persecutin NBA stars while white people can say wtf ever they want on national T.V

YUP HE MEANT WHAT HE SAID BUT IT REALLY IS ONLY 12 SECORDS AND THE VOLUME
IS TO LOW IT SOUND LIKE HE SAID ML KOOL NOT KOON

LMAO BABYBOY!!!!!!!!!!!!! best point i think i heard on here

Normally, I would agree with a lot of the defense that I see on this board, and I totally agree with how slick these crackers are…but…I must say this. I’ve heard this guy mess up his words time and time again cause he talks too got d*mn fast. I can clearly hear how he wasn’t sure if he was going to say “King” or “Junior”. Dude f*cked himself because what came out was some real cracker sh*t. I do believe there is a difference between whites and crackers, but there is a very thin line considering the average white person says sh*t that is offensive because they clearly haven’t been taught any better. Therefore, some whites come off being crackerish even if they don’t believe it. At some point, every white person has made some kind of n*gger joke in their life. I honestly don’t expect any better than that from them…

I listen to “Mike and Mike” every morning. It was a simple slip of the tongue with no hidden message. Greenberg is a cool dude; it was a freak accident.

Now, can we move on to issues that REALLY affect the Black community like the unfair conviction rate of Black men versus . . . everybody else? THAT is deliberate.

Its that subconscious racism

I believe your intentions, words, and actions come back 10 folds, he made this slick ass comment in front of millions, I can only imagine how it will come back to him

perfect example of reading one thing and feeling another.

OMG!! YOU GUYS ARE RETARDED! Wait are we even serious right now??? is this even news? Are we at the point where black folks looking at their watches waiting for someone to slip so we can waste our time debating and condemning??

If you say Coon in a low voice tone, it sounds like King!

Matter fact i demand to know who approved this article

There is no way that this was a slip. He said what
he feels and that’s just that. I welcome these “so called slips”; it reveals the true enemy. Thank you miKKKe Greenberg. Now we know who you really are.

get him al….GET HIM AL….

Get a life and stop making excuses.

You can blame white people all your life at the end of the day it’s not going to get you from point A to B

IF HE SAID IT THEN HE WAS THINKING IT ALL ALONE…THATS DISRESPECT….WHER IS AL…WHEN WE WANT HIM THER …I DONT THINK ILL B WATCHING MIKE&MIKE…NO MORE …PUNK MUF**KAS

I agree with Dunvalla. Old dude really didn’t skip a beat either. No “oops” or “umm” or “ah” between the coon and king. This type of stuff never surprises me anymore coming from them.

WHITE PPL COOL…EXCEPT THE ONES WHO ARE RACEIEST TOWARD US…I DONT BLAME WHITE PPL FO SHYT…THEY BLAME THEY OWN SELVES

babyboy_ray real talk….

Ncruze, no one is waiting for them to slip. They slip because that’s what they feel. It’s Black Anglo Saxons like you (a.k.a NONKIES!) that give the rest of us a bad name. No one’s waiting for them to slip. That’s just their nature. I really am not surprised and I really don’t care. This guy just exposed himself. This isn’t abnormal.

How in the hell do you mix “junior” with “coon”? They don’t even sound the same…WTF?

@FLY098
Really, i give the rest of us a bad name? because i refuse to make excuses and progress?? even if he said it…is it something worth writing an article about?? doesnt it happen everyday??? there are hundreds of thousands of people DEAT IN HAITI and your hearing talking about a slip of tounge!

Ive watched that show before, i know those dudes. besides i looked at the video and it’s a clear slip of tongue. SO go wipe your face with a dry towel!, dont even address me

Casey, please find a more constructive discussion. This is not spread hate dot com. I am so glad none of us ever misspeak. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not excusing “Greenie”, but if stirring up people with racist comments by media commentators is what floats your boat, tune in to Fox News. There you will find plenty of low hanging fruit.

The only logical explanation for this slip of the tongue is : because he has said this before to his family and close friends. there is no othr explanation for this so called slip………

This was clearly a slip-up of words. Greenberg has no history of ever doing anything remotely close to this and he was speaking so fast that he got tongue tied. He clearly meant to say “King.”

Damn! thank you deglover cuz i swear!

As for no “Oops” he was live on TV when you make an error you don’t reflect on it, you move on with what you’re supposed to be saying. Radio works the same way.

Does it matter if it were a mistake or not? i guess it does if you want the illusion of living in a racially tolerant country. If you, like me, like to face reality,then you should know that comments and “mistakes” like that are made all over America hundreds of times a day.
Sometimes black poeple get to hear them, sometimes they don’t. It doesn’t matter much because that’s the way we are seen. Some people think Black people are the sewage of society. They don’t think we are smart or talented. They think we are useless except when we are making them laugh, making them rich, and entertaining them with our sports and music. Heck, even KWAN, a black author, used the word coon on Facebook to describe another Black person at least twice. So why should we be respected and not called out our name by others? We don’t even respect ourselves enough to step our game up, erradicate crime and drugs from our communities, raise our kids, get educations, and demand change. No, we just post about how outraged and appalled we are on HB and then boast about all our cash, clothes and hoes. Meanwhile our credit is jacked the hell up, we don’t own homes or properties, and we are patrons of proprietors who go home and call us coons and ni@@ers while feeding their kids with the money we just put in their pockets. But I digress, Maybe it was an error.

damn some of you guys are insane.

some of you guys really hate white peopl, im wondering if you act like a racist outside or is this just for the internet.

because considering most jobs you have to work with different people of other races i dont see how you can make a living.

some of you either dont work or are internet racist.

Lmao Thats that Fruedian slip. He probably said it off air enough times and that sh*t stayed with him. Not surprised … NEXT!!

everyone needs to realize the media puts this s**t out here so that everyone stays fighting and seperate! the goverment wants it out so they can pretent to be captian save the people of this country. when the goverment is the one that f**ked this country up! the truth of the matter is unity is power!we as of nation of people have more power than the goverment they just dont want the rest of us to realize that. so that we can demand change. they want the people to choose sides in the democrats,or republicans does it matter which side we choose boths sides lie and f**k us! THE GOVERMENT WAS CREATED HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO TO CONTROL THE MASS POPULATION,AND ITS STILL CONTROLING US TODAY! THE GOVERMENT WAS GREATED FOR THE ELITE to live off the the rest of us……and we just let them!

@SweetCali

I agree with you that racism IS a problem in this country. But what is also a problem is when people wrongly assume racism when in reality it was an innocent situation with no intent behind it. When we do that then real racism doesn’t get the harsh criticism it deserves because people think someone is BSing again. It’s kind of like the boy who cried wolf in a way, and if this case is where you want to stand your ground on racism it’s a losing cause. Like I said in a previous post, this is an anchor with no history of racist language, and you can see that he got tongue tied and made an innocent mistake. Let’s not take it for more then what it is.

Like i said..who approved this article?

Most of you are Retarded for even believing this

why do some of you guys spend most of your time thinking about what white people are thinking of you.

WHO CARES WHAT ANYONE THINKS AS LONG AS YOU ARE LIVING YOUR LIFE AND BEING SUCCESSFUL.

YOU DONT HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT THUG ON THE CORNER IS THINKING WHEN HE SEE YOUR MOTHER BAG A DRUG DEALER IS THINKING WHEN HES ON YOUR BLOCK A GROUP OF GANGBANGERS WHEN HE SEE YOU SON.

WORK ON THAT BEFORE YOU START TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WHITE PEOPLE THINK ABOUT YOU

@NCruze… You’re a Nonky becuase you “make excuses” for people that clearly don’t give a crap about your own kind. Coon and King don’t sound anything alike. Here’s an excuse for you.. Maybe he was looking at a picture of you when he said coon but thinking about King! You see the logic in that? I’m finished. Say what you want to say but after reading that comment I realize old dude not only exposed himself. You exposed yourself right along with him. I’m done. And for any other Black AngloSaxons that come on here and make excuses for MLK being called a coon (even off a slip), save yourself the trouble and don’t comment. Fly098 has left the building.

FLY098 IS A IDIOT AND A INTERNET RACIST. WHY DONT YOU GO OUTSIDE AND TALK ABOUT YOUR FEELING, GO TO WORK AND TALK ABOUT IT.

Sorry. For YoungEx. You’re a young in and not only is this Black Folks conversation it’s for Grown People. When you stop being Young and grow up, then you can talk. With permission of course.

FLY098 i wouldnt even settle down to calling you names cuz actually im really good at that..besides i would be giving in to the media..ill stop on a more positive note.

We..as people have to have enough wisdom not only to interpret white from black..good from bad..but to be able to translate it and act on it. Do not become so supressed by those who have faulted you.

God bless the people of Haiti
-one

First of all @ babyboy, numbers in my region (the midwest) reflect that young black men are the fastest growing educated minority male. We still lag behind the white majority but that’s all. Stop with the self-hatred by implying that all of the blacks who stand up against oppression in any form are trouble makers. Racism whether it be subtle or overtly violent, must be confronted. Also @ BBW_04, good for you for having a thick skin. Reacting to Greenburg’s inside joke is not being sensitive, it’s being real. While you’re claiming you are aware of Dr. King’s legacy remember this quote: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere!” I’m not ignorant enough to say that there hasn’t been any progress in race relations since King’s assasination. However, I’m smart enough to know that this country still has a long way to go. What’s wrong is wrong and whether it’s deliberate or not, it carries the same weight. You claim to know what God is about. Didn’t he say that no sin outweighs the other? A person in broadcasting should have good communication skills. Greenburg obviously lack’s those skills if he can’t pronouce the word King. Let’s not pretend racial hatred is not alive.

FLYO98 DONT WAIST YOU TIME ON Ncruze. THAT MUTHERSUCKA IS NIGERIAN. HE COULD BE DARN TERROIST FOR ALL WE KNOW. LOL!

There is a series called eye on the prize..in which the mayor of Birmingham Alabama in the 1960′s during a bus boycott also referred to MLK as coon in the same fashion as this modern day fascist pig did yesterday..which is why this author is thoroughly convinced that these krackers haven’t lost a step in their racist rhetoric, even though we have an African American President. I guess that the saying still stupid is as stupid does(Forest Gump) still applies to stupid krackers like this. The reason that this peck said this so fluently is that he has made this joke continuously,probably normally around ignorant folks …kracker, bigots varmints etc. on a regular basis. This b***h should be fired.. But probably won’t be, because ESPN always has trouble doing positive stories about African Americans anyway. by the way apology not accepted.

That’s a reach. All the years I’ve listened to Mike Greenberg, he comes across like a whiney-type…but not a racist. Sometimes, people just make mistakes.

@Bigknobbob Hahahahhahaaha. That’s hilarious. I hope he isn’t flying to Detroit anytime soon.

Anyway. I think people really need to look up the word RACIST. Black people can’t be racist. Prejudice yes. Racist no. Look up the word in the dictionary. You’ll see the difference in the definitions. I’m not racist. I do call a spade a spade. So for those that made that comment, I encourage you to open the dictionary.

I listen to him in the morning, and hes not like that. he’s not racist. I really believe in my heart that was a mistake, we have all messed up words.

This article and debate is ridiculous. The man got tongue tied and quickly corrected himself. Let us not pretend like none of us have never accidentally slurred a word or got tongue tied before. Black planet constantly post articles that labels every little thing as racist. I remember they called Pop Pye’s Chicken racist for its commercial that featured the black lady, when there was nothing derogatory towards blacks. I guess accidentally mispronouncing a man’s name, despite having no history of racially insensitive behavior, makes one a racist. I think we have more serious racial issues going on, such as environmental racism or the high school drop out rate, rather than a simple mispronunciation of a man’s name.

i don’t think he meant to do it… but that is a mistake that is gonna make millions of black ppl dislike him lol. my advice to him is to stay away from detroit and DC for a while lol

Actually listening to him, you can tell that he made a mistake. He sounded as though he was speaking really quickly and it slipped out wrong. Please, you can tell when people mean it and then they give a bs apology, but he definitely made a mistake!

OH MY PHUKKING GAWD!!! are yall MFs serious…if you listen to Greenie and Golic you would know that Greeny is about the least racist, least controversial guy on Earth…it was a simple mistake…he always makes those kinds of mistakes cuz he talks really fast, and on live TV sometimes things happen like that…like seriously yall need to get a phukkin life…and you can call me a Uncle Tom all you want or whtever, but come on…the majority of yall wouldnt even know who this guy was if not for this minor, 10 second flubb…he’s really a racist cracker devil over a single 10 second flubb…is this where we are as a ppl, where we are jus waitin for someone to say somethin outta line so we can pounce on them…its 2010, a brother is in teh White House, it is past time for us to get off this bullshyt, grow up and stop with the oversensitive crap….seriously…this is jus retarded…obviously its a slow news day…a prime example of making a story out of nothing, and all you ni99ers fell for it!!!!

Let’s not even go there. What a waste of time! As annoying as he may be at times, I would NEVER consider Greenie a racist. Had Limbaugh said this, maybe, but not Greenie. I’ve heard the tape a couple of times, and this was clearly a mistake. I would think that we have much more important things to be concerned with.

Im just curious how people condemn another for a slip/purpose or whatever you would call it and in the very next sentence they let some racist s**t fall right out of thier own mouths? What happen to just caring about the next person? What happen to loving your neighbor and treating other people how you want to be treated? This is crazy people talking about their “own kind” looking out for “themselves”. What we need to be doing is paying no attention to this bulls**t because when you let something get to you then you give it that power. I agree racism is a HUGE issue but its not only white people that are racist. Plus there are a lot more issues at hand that deserve our attention. I dunno I think you know the earthquake in Haiti and this lil thing we are in called a RECESSION should take precedence over what an ESPN sportscaster said. Just know that we are all the same on the inside and hate breeds hate. Kill hate with love. OH and MLK was a great man and he was trying to destroy racism COMPLETELY!!!

MAYBE 200,000 DEAD IN HAITI AND THIS IS ALL B.P. COULD COME UP WITH????????????????????????
HEY NOGAR THE GREEKS AND THE ROMAN CREATED THAT WORD YOU USE,FIND THAT WORD IN
ALL FORMS PASS 2,000 YEARS AGO, DO YOUR HOME WORK!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been watching Greeny for a long time.he is a stand-up dude.if he says it was a slip,that’s what it is.hope nobody tries to make a big deal out of nothing

He look like a f**kin coon!!! I bet he wont make that mistake n da A!!

Might not have been what he meant to say but, certainly what he was thinking at some point.

at first i was thinking mr. greenberg may have just had a fast-spoken slip of the tongue because “luther” has that “oo” sound to it, but then i also thought of the possibility that he may have been so comfortable with saying it in private in no blacks are around that it is conditioned in his subconscious mind, and came up as his words got ahead of his “filtering” system. i have come to conclude he mean to say “coon” but felt sorry he didn’t filter himself in time. perhaps he might be better suited as a sports analyst next to rush limbaugh

Flyo98 ???? How can Black People not be Racist ? Explain that cuz it sure does not make sense to me

Funny how was as black peeps never slip like that! Come on peeps…are we not used to this yet. I say make him say coon on each one of his shows for the next year. He meant it…so make him say it and stand on it! We dont have to accept that bulls**t to forgive it.

I have been listening to Mike for a long time and I do believe him when he says it was a mistake. I really wish black media and people would stop making everything into something racist. Truth be told, if they ever were to turn the tables on us, a lot of what black people say about white people can be construed as racist, but we want a pass for what comes out of our mouths. Keep doing stories like this and we will never get justice for the real issues that we may need to fight for in the future.

mslindascorpio, i agree w you. I’ve been watching and listening to the Mike and Mike on ESPN for years and years and he would never, ever stoop to that level to even rthink of using that term. News One, you guys need to really get a life and just listen to their show once in awhile. I think I speak for many when I say I’m sick and tired of the media such as yours always trying to stir up trouble within the black community.

Get a Grip, Get and life, try doing responsible journalism for a change and GROW UP!!!!!

To Brother John of Dallas, you hit the nail right on the head, that’s exactly what I was thinking!!

Thats what we call a “Freudian Slip”….thats not a good look..

That was a slip of the tongue….any of you who thinks he was trying to be racist with it…like these d*ckheads who made this thread trying to cause MORE tension in our community….how about YOU try saying what he said….

Say “King Junior” really fast….7 times out of 10 you’re gonna get tongue tied and what comes out IS gonna sound like “coon”…or “kyoong”….

I don’t even have to make a debate over this…just try it for yourselves and see…

DID HE JUST CALL ME N****R!!??….

Of course what we say about white folks is racist~ Thats not a shock or a surprise~ do we want a pass for it? DAMN STRAIGHT!!! When white folks start getting strung from trees or being sold off for labor or rape and beaten and held back from progressing then we can talk about it being a “level” playing field and then black people wouldn’t talk the sh.it we do about them.

It’s not a level playing field and therefore white folks CAN’T and shouldn’t fix their mouths to say anything foul against us!

Compare it to this…If I beat you and beat you and beat you then, my child beats on your child, then my grandchild beats on your grad child all the while my child and I look on and hardly do anything to assist…wouldn’t it be over kill to then talk sh.it?

He knew what he was thinking and it slipped off of his tongue~

it was a slip of the tongue. have yall tried reading off a prompter. You can see that he was speaking to fast.

It could have been a bet.
The guy sitting next to him: I bet you 1,000 that you won’t get on national TV and call MLK a coon.
The announcer: Heck no buddy, I would never do anything like that.
The guy sitting next to him: Man 5,000
The announcer: Cash
The guy sitting next to him: You’re to p***y
The producer: And we are on in 5,4,3,2,1
The announcer: Mike Greenberg in the morning on ESPN radio talking football with you on this Martin Luther Coon, King Jr holiday.

Now I think that is what really went down.
Would you have taken that bet?

THAT WAS NOT A SLIP OF THE TONGUE HE DID THAT ENTIRELY ON PURPOSE. I CAN TELL BY THE WAY IT WAS DONE, HE TRIED TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE A SLIP UP, BUT THE WAY HE PLAYED IT OUT I CAN TRULY TELL THAT IT WAS NO ACCIDENT…POINT BLANK.

mike green not a racist was a mistake for sure but i can remember back in the day the word coon was a popular name among us black folks and im talking about back in the 80s just like we walk around calling us n****rs

IT’S FUNNY HOW SOME PPL ARE STICKING UP FOR THIS MAN AS IF THEY KNOW HIM PERSONALLY IN REAL LIFE, JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DOESN’T SEEM RACIST TO YOU ON TV DOESN’T MEAN THEY DON’T GO HOME AND CALL YOU A N****R….SO DON’T BE SO QUICK TO JUMP UP AND SWEAR BY THIS GUY THAT HE WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING IN A MILLION YEARS BCUZ AS A PERSON WILL A PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE I CAN TELL YOU THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU SAY SOMETHING ACCIDENTLY OR MESS UP VERBALLY AND THIS WAS NO ACCIDENT, SORRY PPL.

Big deal it was a mistake who ever made this sure was listening hard because I never would have noticed it. Then being honest most african americans disrespect MLK by constantly referring to their friends by using the (N) word, a word that he spent alot of time trying to get rid of. So everytime someone from another race slips up and says something about african americans we jump to the race card but its ok for us to say anything we want. That just goes to show how ignorant some of our people can be.

http://www.teachblackhistory.com

I for one did not see the show and dont know what was said. I do know that King and coon dont remotely sound the same. For those who think it was a slip of the tongue good for you need more like ya but for those with the common sense that God gave us, we know better. White media have been real vocal with their feelings and hold no punches when saying what they feel. Black folks not niggas, have been catching hell for a long time and when racists speak their minds its usually those black folks who are oblivious to whats going on around them uphold the bs that comes out of their mouth. Wake up dumb asses if this man passed you onthe street and you were on fire I am willing to put my head on the chopping block that he wouldnt spit on you to put yo ass out!!!!

yea it was a slip of tha tounge thatz what he was sayin in the green room before they got out there. then when it was lites camera action he fukked up. and yall stickin up for this muthafukka. if he was a kkkracka cop he would slip up and put a round of bullets thru yo black azz coz he thought u had a gun. i bet u he said that shyyt soon as he got in tha muthafukkn car when he left that muthafukka..i wouldnt b surprised if that muthafukka sung that shytt on tha way home. how u say coon and u meant to say king? coz u been sayin “coon” recently thatz how..cmon yall..gotdamm…

virgomatic…your retarded, how do you know it was on purpose? do you know him personally in real life? it makes a lot of sense for him to go on national radio and television and say something like that on purpose so he can lose his job….real logical…..and mr tay, thank you for expressing my thoughts perfectly, u hit the nail on the head.

who gives a shiiit !! dont we have bigger fish to fry with our young blacks KILLING ONE ANOTHER , than to worry about whether yet another white person is a racist ? we are talking about MLK and im sure he would be more concerned about our MURDER RATE, AND DROPOUT RATE, AND DISRESPECT RATE, AND NUMBER OF BLACKS WHO ARE CONSTANTLY MAKING THEMSELVES UNEMPLOYABLE BEHIND IGNORANCE IN A SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT HE FOUGHT TO MAKE EQUAL ONLY TO SEE OUR YOUNG NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY ENOUGH UNTIL THEY TURN 30 AND BLAME SOCIETY FOR NOT HIRING THEM ~!!!!! WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS THAN THIS WHITE MAN !!!

I couldn’t hear the recording, the volume was too low. This one is better.

If Mike’s still has a job w/ESPN then we know what’s up with them.
There’s a high probability that he was using the same language before
coming on air which would explain how easily Martin Luther Coon King rolled off his tongue. I don’t think he stuttered or paused in recognizing he had exposed his true self on air. He’s not fit to air live, he needs to be taped then edited.

I listen to his show all the time and I have NEVER heard him say something racist. He is not that kinda guy. For the most part he doesn’t even talk about athletes and their messed up lives other than to chat up ‘today’s topics’. He is not a racist, not in the least. I hope you guys that don’t listen to the show judge him by a slip of the tongue.

fucc him racist or not fucc him.

VIRGOMATIC, HAVE YOU STOPPED A BLACK ON BLACK MURDER LATELY !??? THE MORE STOCK WE GIVE RACISM, THE MORE WE HURT OURSELVES. HATE IS THE PROBLEM OF THE PERSON WHO HATES. and thats not to say whether he did it on purpose or not,. its to say WHY DO WE GIVE A DAMN ?!!!! STOP THE SELF HATE FIRST !!

What was he talkin about earlier in the day to slip up?

NOGAR, WHAT THE FUKK HAVE YOU DONE TO CURB BLACK ON BLACK CRIME ?? YOU ARE THE IGNORANT ONE. WHY GIVE CREEDENCE TO THIS SHIIIT ? THERE ARE NO UNCLE TOMS HERE, JUST PEOPLE WHO WONT LET THIS SHIIIT STOP THEM FROM SUCEEDING ! when that guy put that monkey in the paper and called it OBAMA, he did it to make us mad. if we dont react, he dont win !!! yyou are the ignorant uncle tom because YOU havent done a thing to STOP RACISM BUT RUN YOUR STUPID MOUTH ! DO SOMETHING TO STOP OUR YOUTH FROM KILLING ONE ANOTHER, THEN TALK ! WE AS A PEOPLE ARE STRONGER THAN THAT !!! WE HAVE ENDURED A LOT MORE THAN WORDS.

OK, not sure i buy mixing Junior and coming up with = “coon”! But I agree with Korg, every incident can not be flagged as racism or it will take away from the real injustices in the world. I think this was just a case of STUPIDITY!

That is what happens when a person says something so much…it just comes out the way they normally say it. That was a mistake…but it’s a part of his vocabulary which is why is slipped out like that. For instance…my son was sitting beside me one day watching a stupid text from a stupid guy and my son said “What the f**k???”. LMAO…he was horrified b/c he didn’t mean to say that but that is what he says frequently when not in my company.

Oh yes FOR SURE, he has said it several times in the past. And yes, it is probably how they refer to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the presence of personal circle.

In response to the post about it being a mistake and every incident being flagged as racism: i think what he said was racist whether a slip of the tongue or not. Unfortunately no one can read his mind and he should be fired because of what he said. ESPN fired Michael Irvin, a black forrmer NFL player for making a reference to Tony Romos’ grandmother maybe being black. I want to see what kind of equality ESPN practices.

Get real only racist would have that thought in his mind and accidently let it slip.

about MLK and im sure he would be more concerned about our MURDER RATE, AND DROPOUT RATE, AND DISRESPECT RATE, AND NUMBER OF BLACKS WHO ARE CONSTANTLY MAKING THEMSELVES UNEMPLOYABLE BEHIND IGNORANCE IN A SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT HE FOUGHT TO MAKE EQUAL ONLY TO SEE OUR YOUNG NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY ENOUGH UNTIL THEY TURN 30 AND BLAME SOCIETY FOR NOT HIRING THEM ~!!!!! WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS THAN THIS WHITE MAN !!!

yeah tha ton of whitemen who luv to see us suffer from everything u just said…from tha police to lawmakers..

CAPTIN “SAVA A KKKRACKA” TO THA RESCUE….

To correct a previous comment, he actually mixed up saying “King” with “coon”… not Junior. Moreover, as most of us would agree, we don’t confuse words with other words that aren’t in our vocabulary. King does not look like “coon” in text (if he was reading verbatim) and this was not an accident rather than a sly pot-shot on an American leader.
People forget, just because our president is black and we can all drink from the same fountain doesn’t mean that racism and hatred does not exist, even amongst the maturing Generation X-ers.
Don’t be blinded by the fact that they like our music. We still live in the land of hypocrisy.

We black people need not to worry about what the enemy has to say about us… Mr. King is not with us and if he was he would not give the enemy one single drop of energy. That’s what made him a great “Black Man”… no matter what the enemy had to say or do to him, he never once broke down to the “Nigga mentality”. Primitive minded or child like…….. All liers, murders, thieves, witch doctors etc. will get their part of the fire. _-BLKNTELLIGENT-

@Deshawn and Ncruze…. In the words of Riley from Boondocks “Ya’ll n*&as is gay!” I call you two “broke back uncle tom black anglo saxon slew foot house negroes” out and instead of keeping it on the thread you wanna go to my page to see what I’m about huh? Notice I didn’t have to go to your page to see what you’re about because it’s apparent! You two don’t deserve to be Black! I don’t take back my statements about you two a$$tronauts! Anyone who makes excuses as to why white people would say something like this on the slip up or just blatantly is an Uncle Tom. How dare you even make an excuse for this cat…Especially after talking about MARTIN LUTHER THE KING! You two need a life!

I think that ‘One of us’ should go on TV and ‘Accidentally’ mix up a word in a WHITE prestigious person’s name and then ‘Apologize’. Let’s see what will happen after THAT! ;-)

Soulgasm I’m glad you said why Michael Irvin got fired because I was wondering why.I just thought they liked Keyshawn better. He is on NFL network now so he is still working. He need the money considered how much he wasted on cocaine and prostitutes.

One question: why does BP & News One keep giving these morons coverage? Like the old saying goes: “If you got nothing good to say, don’t say anything at all.” What needs to get “high” exposure is the abyss of this economy, and the large number of people out of work!….LOL!…..

If he would’ve ‘Accidentally’ mixed ‘King’ and ‘Junior’ he’d have said ‘Kunior’(pronounced ‘Koon-Yur’) or something to THAT effect. NOT ‘Coon’ and that’s all!! SMH.. It’s sad that this is gonna slip by without any ramification(s) on his part.. My last suggestion still stands.. ;-)

That’s complete bulls**t he meant exactly what he said!!!!

Damn! I used to watch that show. Can’t believe his stupid Jew ass said that! I wonder how he would feel if someone “accidentally” called him Kike Greenberg?! What an idiot!

I am lmao, I knew all of you negroes that love the white man’s dirty drawers would come on here defending them. You Uncle Tom azz motherf-ckers are a joke. They will continue to show their true colors. This is just the tip of the iceberg. he is the worst kind of white person, a low down dirty Jew. Hence the last name Greenberg.But just like God told Moses to tell the Children of Isreal to separate from Pharoah and his people b/c of what they had done and continue to do.The same command is given to us today. He told them that those who wanted to stay and not separate that when he got feed up he would kill them along with Pharoah. You jokers better find out the truth before it is too late.

his ass need to be fired! he’s a disgrace! he said exactly what was on his mind. him and his co worker had to be talking about it before they came back on the air, because it was way too fresh out his mouth. its pathetic, jealousy, stupidity at its best and no respect for a well honored black man that conquered the impossible. racism will never die, only multiply in certain ameriKKKans, its a deadly disease. to hell with all of them racist trashbags… thank you Dr. Martin Luther King.

drkchokolate_10…….. quiet as its kept…. its ALOT more uncle toms then one might think LOL

oh and for the record, the ‘jews’ financed the ‘Civil Rights’ movement.

but check this out, while they told us to sing songs, pray and march. to turn the other cheek while getting shot with firehoses and dogs sicked on us….

they taught THEIR OWN children to run businesses and setup instutitions that would make their people self-reliant.

while we are taught to be beggars, hoping those who hate us would one day accept us………

my Christians should think about ‘Job’ and ‘Lazarus’…… thats us

but back on topic… they call that a FRUEDIAN SLIP. he said what he was thinkin sub-consciously.

then again, who cares?

who the f*ck is this guy anyway? lol

95% of the ‘black’ news that comes out is either negative BS celebrating our own ignorance and self-destruction, or playing the puppet master pulling the strings of our emotions. cuz we are some emotional motherf*ckers at times……….

but I digress

I still stand with MLK when he said the US Govt is the largest purveyor of violence in the world. it was true then AND now.

meanwhile in Haiti…. all them donations are going into somebody’s pocket

the West (European nations), still hates HAITIANS because they were the first Afrikans to have a sucessful revolution and whooped their azzes. THATS why Haiti is kept in dis-array on purpose. REVENGE

all them beautiful afrikan people in Haiti gettin shot up with ‘vaccines’ (TOXINS)………… smh

my heart goes out to them……

here we go…if you don’t jump on the hate the “white man” hate the “jew” bandwagon you’re an “uncle tom”. LMAO! And half of you give in to the peer pressure. the same half that will jump out of a moving car if 50cent or lil wayne tell you to. the same half that call ya selves ‘real niggaz’…i’m NOT a “ni77a”,”negro”,”nigg8r”,”niggra” or ANY variation thereof. the same half that call your women “black queens” in one breath and in the next quote some BS tupac or whatever else rapper said…”b7tches ain’t sh7t” and “hoes this and that”. but would be ready to kill me (hopefully) if i said that about ya moms. Lol! you’re a joke…

wow how you make a mistake like that? no different than if somebody said H*nky, ch*nk or sp*ck….opps my bad I meant [insert the CORRECT word here] tsk tsk tsk

I have a dream http://www.swaggtalk100.net

That was no accident.

You have got to be kidding. I’m sorry, evidently, are the two most powerful words in the universe! How in da heck was that sufficient???

Man i’m kinda shocked by this. I watch mike and mike in the morning all the time and i watch them on sports center and I never caught that vibe from greeny.

I’m gnona take it as as an accident. I’ve done stuff like that before, where I’ll be talkin while reading the upcoming part of a paragraph or something and sort of mix the two together.

The only way it could be justified is if he was reading the script and it had mentions of the hardship MLK went through such as being called coon etc. Seems like a stretch but could happen.

Maybe before the commercial they mentioned how he had been called coon etc on his marches. I didnt see that episode so idk what lead up to it. If it was a slip of the tongue then kinda sad to see where his mind is.

LOL how do do get King and Coon mixed up.

that’s bulls**t…the Kike! oops!..Jew-Bastard! (I’m sorry) “Jesus Killer”…well u know what i mean. he did it on purpose…FROIDIAN SLIP!!!

Its ashame how some people are writing this off as a slip of the tongue. When its no way in hell you can mix the two names up and he DID NOT MIX KING AND JUNIOR UP IT WAS JUST KING-so how in the hell did he come up with COON OUT OF KING? CONG,CING,CANG,CUNG and I don’t even think those are any real spelling of words. I can’t say he is a racist but, I will say he think like 1 and for that slip he should be fired but,we all know thats no going to happen-hell they might give him a bigger job offer.(JMO)

I would slap the SHHH out this jew bastard if I see him face to face, and say I am sorry little man…..lol

It was sligtly censored. It was a mistake that the word came out but it wasn’t a mistake what was on his mind. Him being jewish, do you think if the co-host was black and he said something like kites instead of jews, he would keep his job? In this country jewish people don’t even want you to even use the word jewish if you are not jewish. They will be quiick brand you anti-semite before you can even spell the word jewish.

WOW! does this forum really have 135 (mine being 136) comments??? I watch Mike on ESPN, I think it was really a slip of the tongue..No im not an uncle tom, wigger, nonkie(fly098 that was classic, never heard it before!), or whatever. He was talking very fast, and ofcourse he didnt skip a beat because he knows in broadcasting possibly a live show, you dont do that…You just keep it pushin. I have seen MANY news casts where reporters/anchors have slipped and said curse words, parts of the anatomy, the wrong persons name, drooled, sneezed everything during the report. Now anyone that knows me personally KNOWS that I would have jumped allover this with my racist, self- hating, demoralized, angry black woman self, but this sounded truly like a slip of some words…And yes, you can get coon out of trying to say King and Junior at once…the c sound comes with K and the ‘oon’ sound comes with saying JUN-ior…come on people this is crazy!

King Junior Coon ?
Cooon Junior?
I cannot see the mix up.

If he had said, Martin Luther Kinger…..
Martin Luther King Jinger.
Martin Luther King Kinger Junior.

Ok.

Coon, hmmm, Idosee gettingthe kingand junior mixed.

Yeah, we say a word sometimes and our brain tells us we said it already because we thought itfaster than we could say it. Slip of the thongue,I mean tongue.
That “th” of “the” got me with the “t” on “tongue.”

Ineed to proofread.

I Do Not see getting king and coon mixed up.

Is there an edit button here?
Can you modify your post?

I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN MR. GREENBERG, REALLY LIKE THE SHOW AND YOU REALLY GET A LOT OF FIRST HAND INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE SPORTS WORLD AND OF COURSE THEIR OPINIONS. NOW I’M SURE HE IS SORRY ABOUT THIS BUT YOU DON’T SAY COON UNLESS YOU HAVE SAID IT BEFORE. SOME WORDS YOU JUST DON’T SAY. BUT COON IS ONE OF THOSE OLD BACK-IN-THE-WOOD RACIST TERMS, THAT WAS REFERRED TO HUNTING A BLACK MAN AND THEN KILLING HIM. I’M FROM THE OLD SCHOOL AND THIS MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL. WHEN YOU ARE NOT USE TO USING CERTAIN WORDS THEY NEVER COME OUT YOUR MOUTH. I HAVE PLAYED WITH WHITE MUSICIAN AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SLIP OF THE TONGUE ARE USING THE WRONG WORD IN CONSERVATIONS. WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS NOT IN THEIR VOCABULARY.
I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS AND HE NEEDS TO STEP DOWN, YOU CAN’T BE MAKING MISTAKE LIKE THIS ON TELEVISION WITH THE WHOLE WORLD WATCHING YOU AND EXPECT IT TO JUST GO AWAY.

It’s always best to ignore a fool? A fool cannot and will not further his/her agenda when there is no audience granting them ground to stand upon.

come on people he did apologize. people are so quick to throw individuals under the bus yet always wanna be forgiven for something.

It was intentional and typical and shows the worst kind of cowardice – The quick, cheap “apology” afterwards. Why doesnt he just admit he said it on purpose. This is why you some times have to give the KKK credit they are hateful, irrational and mentally deformed,but they at least will admit they they are racist. Its the cowards like this guy who throw rocks and then run to “hide” behind apologies you gotta be wary of. Sometimes I wonder about Jewish people. He must not know or be aware of all the foul names some one could call him or his kind and then turn around and apologize.

HELL YEAH HE KNEW WHO DONT KNOW MARTIN LUTHER KING EXPECIALLY THE RACIST PEOPLE .

ALL I CAN SAY IS I TRULLY MISS THAT MAN HE HAD SUCH A BEAUTFUL SOUL !!!

HOW IN THE HELL DO U SLUR KING WITH JUNIOR AND GET “COON”. IM NOT FALLING FOR IT, JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW MANY IGNORANT PPL ARE STILL IN THE WORLD

The stupid nerd of that show isnt worth the time, we know, he did that to get a rise for ratings because it’s the other mike worth he’s just another mike…yall feeding into it, helps him.

It was an accident. He’s radio host that is used to talking fast so of course he’s going to slur his words every once in a while, it just happened at the worst possible time. Why do people love finding reasons to be mad?

King + Joon (beginning sound of junior)= Koon

It was on his mind and it roll right out of his mouth. End of story

ESPN need to do the right thing.

The low melanin pale skin stringy hair,, mutated gene white man,,,, you will forever be nothing, so whatever you say means nothing,,, your day will come and your children will suffer for ther transgressions,

DOC-V…what part of what I said gave you the impression that Im implying self-hatred or hating on my own black people. My point is this! We are wasting our time on a man who said something and then apologized. Whether he meant it or not! What about all the people that do much worse, than say one word and dont apologize. Are you you going to have a protest everytime someone says N****r, when “cracker” is thrown around all the time. This stuff is a distraction and black people fall for it. Instead of reading something that will help us get ahead in life or something educational…we arguing with other black people (mainly) on here about whether he meant to say it or not. At the end of the day, he still going to have his job and an audience. Fight a battle that will make a difference. We fighting against eachother by throwing comments at eachother now….same thing as black people shooting eachother in the streets over stupid stuff. Can we please do the opposite of what is expected sometimes. Well if that fact is true about the black men in your region, thats cool! I bet none of them have comments on here though! That still doesnt change anything for the millions of young black men that are loosing their lives for things much worse than someone calling another person a name!! What about that?

it did sound like a mistake… but comin off a commercial break he just out n said it as if he was thinkin of a joke. like as if sumbody said some sht then coughs

Mr Tay and Korg…I’m with you homies! We rather gossip and be broke, than to better ourselves. Sad…

Most y’all probably don’t even watch the show but are quick to say this man said that on purpose. It’s not about how he said it. I am sure each and everyone of you guys were talking fast one time and the words that came out your mouth were mixed up. Everyone wants to jump on this guy cause he is white, if a black man or woman were said the same thing it wouldn’t be posted on here. I am sick of black people wanting to jump on each and everything that they feel is ignorant when they do the same damn thing, but we should get away with it cause we are black, y’all make me sick sometimes.

These sites are used to make black people show their ignorance. Its always something a black person did or something a white person said. Then everyone gets on here and falls in that same dum trap, show your own ignorance by making all these insulting comments. You want to overcome this race thing….black people, lets get an education instead of running the streets worrying about our clothes/hair/shoes. Make yourself more qualified than a job at a fast food place. Other races are getting their education, black people want to protest all day, and then at the end of the day…caucasins, mexicans, indians and etc. are still black peoples’ bosses. How about that????

babyboy_ray

Well said.

TO THE PREVIOUS POSTERS ! I guess you who critize us for “gossiping” need to look into a mirror! almost 2am and “yall” on B.P. reading gossip columns! either you all have no life or just plain sorry @$$es !!

I watch the show from time to time and I say Mike Greenberg is not at all a racist, he made a mistake and most of you people who are talking about this man and don’t even watch the show or listen to the radio part as well, should shut the hell up.

smh @ this coontastic article….

U know what that was just a mistake on his part i listened 2 his tone 3times and its not really coon he’s saying

This was absolutely a blunder. I think his brain was ahead of his mouth and he was about to say King while thinking Luther and it came out Kun not necessarily coon. I watch him and he is definitely not a racist. Let’s not always look for the hate…especially when it isn’t there.

I meant to say thinking Junior while saying King.

what if he did say coon. wthh are we gonna do about it? nothing! o wait well loook for Al and Jesse to handle them,right.While we keep b***h n and playing into the sterotypes. These gossip blogs never report important information that could honestly benifit us. We still havent caught on. When Yall are ready to do something drastic like… No logins to BP till they stop givin us these dumbed down artiles let me know. Untill then we just continue to bump our gums in text..

FINAL RESPONSE TO COON REMARK

The response by a lot of the people sound like negroes that always provide an excuse for white people when you do not know them or from their voices you are so mesmerized by white folks, that they cannot possibly mean what they said. knowing that this guy that you defend is a college graduate, which you are probably not! so his command of the english language is how he makes his money, slips-of-the-tongue are not his forte.
when he said “coon”, that is an old usage of degradation that has been around for a long time, probably longer than you handkerchief heads that love white people have been on earth.
I have listened to their spiel sparingly due to their nature of always disparaging African-Americans and taking the holier-than-thou approach. and truly if you apologists for them wanted to be-friend them, they would call the law to get you out of their faces. by the look of some of the pictures of most of the ones that apologize for mike, you are just the recipients of what Dr. King did and never marched, never helped sign others up to vote, never shed a tear for those hung, beaten, denied or throw into jail for being at the wrong place at the right time to be charged for something that they did not do. (just look at the blacks that are/were on death row and that need to be/have been released and apologize for that, too!).
you also are probably apologizing for President Obama, according to some white folks, for he cannot do more than one thing at a time. ( no one complained when bushy boy had many things going on at one time, like torture, helping the wealthy, letting bin laden collect social security, invading iraq, etc, he does not need you negroes to apologize to white folks; he is truly more educated than 95% of you idiots that are always apologizing to white folks and think that African-Americans can only concentrate on one thing at a time.
I am educated, my children are educated and all of my grandchildren, God willing, will be educated and not just formal education…I am talking about education to know that men do not play, (read 1 Corinthians 13:11) and know that we are responsible for what we say! to know that when people campaign and talk against having a holiday for Dr King, say what is really on their minds, their hollow apology is no apology at all.
why don’t one of you apologizing folks, especially Black, just walk up to him and watch the expression on his face. But he knows house negroes always want a pat on the head when they defend massa!
i just know know you apologized for imus, the golfer that said we would be having fried chicken and collard greens, to pat buchanan, the alleged expert that said that we are still less educated than whites since the bell curve was for us, that our president’s education was only due to affirmative action and African-Americans were taking all of the good white folks slots at the best schools.. get off of your knees, your knee pads are wearing out!!!
it would make a difference if it were a black person saying it, how we and they talk among one another is much different than when we talk at work, on TV., in front of our parents, when we talk with our friends or acquaintances, (there is a difference) it is deplorable. I, in 56 years have never heard anyone Black allude to that sort of ignorance, even in lighter moments, but I associate with people that have respect for themselves and for me. The only other times that I have heard it was when some white person said it on some program and that cannot be an accident. .. there have been too many egregious things said, especially since we now have an African-American president and negroes apologize for anyone.. our platforms are different and even what harry reid said was racist, for a dark-skinned Black man, regardless of education, is more threatening to whites than a light-skinned Black man. there have been retarded and prejudiced people in our own race due to the perverted belief that light skin makes one more acceptable to some, when anyone knows that the more melanin the better and the less melanin, the closer to not having any, as whites do not. it is no secret that we have always had to study whites and know them even though they barely knew or cared whether we existed or not. Since the president and others cannot address certain things, it is my duty t o do so.
some whites have been genuine in their quest to help in equality, even Frank Sinatra was instrumental, but slime like mike have to be weeded out for who they are. he is an educated person and he talks for a living. he knew that coon joke and had been planning to use it at the appropriate time. he knew that his hollow apology would be accepted due to many people have to save their jobs and accept it, but i do not!!! that is why the president accepted reid’s apology-if he had not, then the racist and southern people that hate our president would have had a field day and would have acted as though they really love us.
and I know that you butt kissers have apologized for your ex-president clinton, who hoodwinked you so vastly that you fools equated him w/being Black, when he said that a few years ago President Obama would be serving him coffee!
really, Dr, King put his life on the line for justice, equal opportunity and for the field to be leveled for us and our children and grand children. we cannot be cowards and give excuses to this resurgence of racism (per the f.b.i. and the justice department, since you are so insulated from reality) and just let it go and say, oh well, we have other things to concentrate on. if you are so single-minded and cannot do more than one thing at a time, try serving THE LORD, for in serving HIM maybe, just maybe, you will garner that HE hates racism and prejudice also!!! love and prayers..AARON SR

He needs to be fired. Period! A lot of people are making excuses. Oh I know those dudes, he’s not racist, etc. My question? How the f**k do you know? Did you grow up with him, sit down and have breakfast, dinner, coffee with him and his family. In 2010 this is UNACCEPTABLE from anyone and the sad thing about it…had this been a person of color, him and his show would have been off the air effective IMMEDIATELY! Black people…stop making excuses and letting what’s blatant indirect racism slip you by. For someone in this day in age to make a remark anywhere close to what was said on the air about Dr. Martin Luther KING should be fired. King paved the way so that all of us can have freedom and equality. NOTICE I SAID ALL OF US! Not just blacks. Show some respect for his legacy and definitely do not side with someone or make excuses just because he’s talking about your favorite damn sports team! The irony in that!

I have watched them for your he made a mistake he meant nothing by it…all you need to just relax there are bigger problems in the world then one little mistake about a name like for real people….We have all made some form of mistake when calling someone….be easy

years*

KILL THAT KKKRACKER

nypreech…

Are you saying in your lifetime of addressing or speaking about another human being, you have made the mistake of spitting out racial slurs? Yes we have all made a mistake. However people in the media are held at a higher regard. ALWAYS! For Mike to disrespect one of most prominent Civil Rights Leader in the history of our Nation..No I just have to disagree with you. This IS a big problem! What do we have next? News reports calls President Obama “On****r” and we as a people brush it off as a “mistake”? People wake up!

Hes so used to calling him that all the time that this time it slipped in front of millions. That happens to anyone all the time, think for example u call somebody names behind his/her back and one day you are referring to them with somebody else and at least 1 in a 1000 times that ‘nickname’ will come out. Same thing happened here. No apologies are necessary (and are in fact ridiculous and senseless) as his mind was spoken without him wanting it.

hes is a racist. he should be fired and crusified. then kiled and merdered. no one should ever make a mistake like that, EVER!!! (this is sarcasm). Mike is a nice guy.

THATS SOME PUNK S**T, HOW THE F**K YOU MAKE A MISTAKE LIKE THAT? ANYONE WHO DEFENDS THAT S**T NEED TO BE WITH THAT MOTHERF**KER….NOW I WILL NOT WATCH MIKE AND DICK OOPS I MEAN MIKE, YEA I SEE HOW THAT CAN BE A MISTAKE…..B***H!

Who cares if he’s a nice guy and it was a mistake. Somethings you just can’t look over and thats why you uncle tom,sellout,brainwash,bootlickin,wanta fit in house niggas gets no respect from them nor us.

I think that this is something that Mike Greenberg really ment, this was on his mind before he said it. What he is sorry for is that the Black community will get angry and voice an oppinion and he doesn’t want that, it could cost him his job. But more importantly it is the message that he sent and thought it would not have been caught because he did it so fast. Well all I can say black people is open your eyes do what you must and no longer let yourself get caught without knowledge, we have the power, we are the ones watching this show more than any other race of people, guess why that is? We are the ones making the highlights and they are looking to report on the good but mostly the bad, so lets see what happens with this guy, my guess is nothing. Mike showed the world he is a racist WHITE boy!!!! so excuse my language but F**K that cracker, this has really pissed me off as I am writting this, I tried to be cool and proper but I can’t hold back anymore, Mike Greenberg can take his apology and go to hell!!! People don’t be fooled because these crackers are on TV and they give the image that they love you, they don’t Mike showed his true colors how can you get COON out of King or Jr? (MIKE GREENBERG YOU SIR CAN GO TO HELL!!!!!!)

Thank you ACLS you said it all and CatgirlTX you are an Asshole. You have no knowledge of self and what people have sacrificed for you to be such an a*****e.

My Friends it is far pass time to come to together and speak. History has proven us to be a strong and intelligent people who have survived much worst. Each one must now find a way to ORGANIZE and rise for tomorrows fight.We are not now,are have we ever been along.Mr.King knew this and its in your blood,just stand.This is not about skin anymore,I’m not sure if it ever was.This is about greed and power,Its a game and a low shot. You see,about the time jobs left the USA,they left everybody and all of America is feeling the pinch. FOCUS,dont be easy to detract and the cowards will slime back into the swamps caves.Ive seen it happen,you have too, remember the bullies in school,they were all just fools.

How ignorant do they think we are , i can tell tell the difference between a blunder and someone being outwardly racist … this was a blunder so STOP IT!!

He did it on purpose.He can hide behind that lie of combining the names all he wants;He’s fooling nobody.Ever since,Obama,this racism stuff has been coming from everywhere.

@ tipper

You know what.. YOU ARE RIGHT! That’s the same thing that I thought… Funny how your mouth tells on your brain sometimes!

He is a jew what do you expect, they have never had any respect for African Americans, so do not let that apology fool you people. There are forces at work to try and flame the African American race into total annihilation, do not accept this apology, this person looks Old enough to know what Dr. King did and stood for. What all the African Americans in that market should do is boycott his show and persuade vendors not to pay for advertisement period.

And if the vendors do not wish to stop advertising on this show or program, then persuade your friends not advertise or patronize the businesses that continue to do homage to this person.

sounds he he slipped and said something on the air that he says in private. that DEFINITELY isnt the first time he’s said it!

There’s no excuse for his words the fact is he meant to say it and he’s now sorry. Yeah sorry his ass got busted for being a racist.

Im with Rob0dee.. the white racist bastard said it on purpose.. you can tell because he corrected himself to fast. He probably had it already rehearsed what he was gonna say. These white people!

there is no way you can slur your words and make king sound like coon it doesnt seem right he showed his true colors and he’s only sorry because he said it out loud and i dont feel that his aplogy is was real and i dont except it

white folks keep telling negros, everyday, how they really feel about us…

but negros sucked into the love hate relationship with these crackas, and keep running back for more…

i don’t have to read through the responses to know that a bunch of these low self esteemed negros stood up for this cracka…

things will change when we change our way of thinking…

HE’S A DEAD BWOY WALKIN! I PUT MY WORD ON THAT!

It was a mistake move on.

i did a video on this issue on youtube. Here is the link to the video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0INnFQ9f-I

Black people kill me. You’re more worried about a error that we ALL make than killing, bobbing and lying to eachother. I mean, IS IT THAT SERIOUS????? Come on BLACK PEOPLE. Lets get logical. Our issues aren’t with Mike. It with OURSELVES. Get with it.

DAMN MIKE U WENT HARD ON MLK!!!!! WANT U ASK DIS CRACKER TO GIVE US COONS JODS U SUCKER I DONT LIKE CRACKER YALL EAT DICK BUSTER!!!!!!!!!!!

he meant to say it,,,i bet he was dared by his white friends ,,there are so many white dat hate dat we have a black president,,and most of them kno dat they can give a fake im sorry,,,,,beware BP. sum of these members are white posing as black leaving these comments,,

It could have been a bet.
The guy sitting next to him: I bet you 1,000 that you won’t get on national TV and call MLK a coon.
The announcer: Heck no buddy, I would never do anything like that.
The guy sitting next to him: Man 5,000
The announcer: Cash
The guy sitting next to him: You’re to p***y
The producer: And we are on in 5,4,3,2,1
The announcer: Mike Greenberg in the morning on ESPN radio talking football with you on this Martin Luther Coon, King Jr holiday.
Now I think that is what really went down.
Would you have taken that bet?

Accident or on purpose? It really doesn’t matter, he said it, and those words are not easily confused. Am I surprised?…No, because that is the way of the world. If we call each other those derogatory names, why get upset when someone of another race does the same? If we don’t have enough pride in ourselves and our culture to NOT say the words…why expect someone else to? I also think that mistakes happen, but some mistakes are only mistakes because someone got caught making them. With all the problems we are facing in society, this is something that is on the bottow rung of the ladder. Be confident in who you are, and people like Dr. King, who would have let it go. You can’t stop someone else from showing their ignorance. We will always have racism and racists in this country because of the intolerance of others. Let it go, and just know that there are these types all around, they are just wearing masks.

mike greenberg you are a peice of s**t i had respect for you i looked at ya’ll show every morring i will not be looking at it anymore you need too go with your b***h ass

ITS STUFF LIKE THIS THAT PISSES ME OFF…NOT DUDE SAYING “COON”…I DONT GIVE A DAMN IF HE SAID IT OR NOT..IM SPEAKIN ON THESE BLOGS BEING POSTED ON THESE WEBSITES ABOUT RACISM AGAINST US & ON IGNORANT & UN-EDUCATED WE ARE AS AFRICAN AMERICANS…AS SOON AS A POST POP UP ABOUT “A WHITE MAN SAYS COON” OR SOME OTHER DUMBASS DOWN RATING US, WE PROVE THAT WE ARE IGNORANT BY BACKFIRING WITH RAGE AND RACIST COMMENTS…WE STRONGER THAN THAT…WE OVERCAME ALOT OF BULLS**T IN THE PAST…FOR THE RECORD, IM PROUD TO BE BLACK, ALL WAYS WILL BE…BUT BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WE BRINGIN THIS ON OURSELVES…ITS OTHER RACES OUT HERE RUNNING COMPANIES, FOLLOWING CAREERS AND BEING SUCCESSFUL..WHAT WE DO..WORRY ABOUT THE NEW JORDANS & NIKES, CARS, DRUGS, MONEY, FEMALES AND THIS OTHER MATERIAL S**T OUT IN THESE STREETS THAT ONCE ITS GONE, WE DONT HAVE S**T…WE HAVE ALOT OF POSSIBILITIES SET FOR US, BUT THE OTHER RACES KEEP TRICKING US TO MAKE US THINK WE CANT ACHIEVE THEN BY SETTING LOW STANDARD S**T OUT THERE FOR US, OTHERWORDS, WE TAKING WHAT THEY GIVE US LIKE WE’RE BABIES…AND THATS EXACTLY HOW OTHER RACES SEE IT…SEEING THAT WE ARE THE HIGHEST POVERTY RATE, DOSENT MEAN WE JUST SIT ON OUR ASS AND TAKE WHATS FED TO US..GO OUT AND GET IT…SIGN FOR A F.A.S.F.A GRANT FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO GO TO SCHOOL…ACHIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO..DONT LET THESE WHITES TELL YOU YOU CANT, CAUSE WE CAN…AND LET THEM SAY WHAT THEY WANT…IT JUST SHOWS HOW LOW ON LIFE THEY ARE AND IGNORANT THEIR DAMN SELVES

Same folks b/itching about this racist, bigot are the same negros that got a bunch of crackers on their bp page. Shut the f/uck up with hypocritical s.hit b/itches!

Why am I not surprised? I mean this isnt the first time someone on espn has said something racist. this has been going on for some time now and correct me if im wrong but didnt Mike do this same s**t once before on a seperate occasion?

I can sit next to some of you and call you a million niggas and you will not think nothing of it. Stop acting so sensitive. It really does not bother you. If it did we would correct it in our own community first.

In fact, you COONS need to calm down…..LOL
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!

***Stand up applause for Grown_man_jae1*** Couldn’t have said it better myself!

this is a bunch of bullsh**t he knew what he was saying he just tried to slide that word in about the king holiday.

I can say that MLK is not that far from God in my book. The pope was not in the south when the white man hit us up with water and hung us from trees. He did not go to jail with our fathers from something right. The pope was with the Nazis. MLK told of a future and it came to path. He is like Mose in words.
***stop actin sensitive*** MLK is a Stant in my book***

its been confirmed that 8 out of 10 negroes suffer from ‘STOCKHOLM SYNDROME’. :(

He did not mean ta say coon @ all. If u watch da show and c da ppl he tlks ta, u would kno dat man aint racist. if made a mistake den he made a mistake. he apologized fo it so jus mov on from there.

It’s not our system people, it’s theirs. Stop trying to fit in and lets all try and see if we can attempt to build our own system. Talk is cheap unless we’re all willing to bring the business to government. Other then that just sit back and wait for the system to throw us another doggie bone to make make many of us feel like we’re actually making progress out here.

YALL JUST DON’T WANT TO LOSE YOUR JOBS HOUSE NICCAS! FUK THAT! WHYTE PPL ARE ABOUT SELF PRESERVATION. THATS WHY HAITI IS BEING HELPED LIKE THEY DID KATRINA VICTIMS! RESEARCH HOW THEY HELPED TSUNAMI VICTIMS. JOIN THE OTHER SIDE TRAITORS(BYTCHES)!

I don’t see how he could have said he messed up because out of those words he HAPPENED to say coon. I repeated MLK JR’s name 10 times in a row and i never slipped up……Ki….co….ng.jr….on….they don’t sound alike. Hello! He had it all flowing together, he didn’t stumble on any words. Especially since it’s a word thats derogatory.

What the hell ever, he knew what the hell he was doing. He probably didn’t mean to say it, but at least we ALL know what he was THINKING!!!

man dis dude aint fooling nobody bc dis aint the first time he used a racial word…. and then he said it slipped out lmaoooo… how do u get coon mixed up wit king?? hmmmmm az they say it is wut it is!!! Wack Ass Show Anyway!!!!!

Hey is a ass for what he said becuse If it was not for him most of us would not be eating at a place I wont to or going to a school to a mix race school
and I still have to go thought s**t with my friend becuse My friend that is mix and me was the olny blacks in school.

It’s possible he slipped, or he may have in fact said it purposely. In any case we don’t know the absolute truth. So what do we do? Instead of doing what’s easy, getting mad and assuming the most negative intent, let’s try to be positive and give him the benefit of the doubt. Apology accepted! Keep it moving, kill the issue. You can’t put out a fire with more fire. Not to mention the fact that there probably was never a fire in this case, so don’t start one! I’m with you “MyTyme_Ta_Shyne”…

Well in my opinion racist is gonna be aroound forever look like cause you got people thats still out there that don’t want to see black folks succeed, whether its on the job or everyday life. Some white folks grin in your face but it is so fake..like they say smiling faces tell lies..and as far as that Mike dude he knew what he was saying he just don’t want to lose his job and if espn keeps him on there staff they need to be boycotted for keeping a racist on there staff…I don’t watch espn no way so it wouldn’t matter to me

He done this on purpose. This wasn’t no mistake at all. I’m not watching this show anymore. SMFH at these people who think it was a “mistake.”

If it was a mistake it must be because he usually calls him Martin Luther Coon instead of Martin Luther King when no blacks are around.

If you know your past then you will know your future. Whites were’t shi*t in the past and present and future so what is new.

Maybe it was a Freudian slip. (an error in speech, memory, or physical action that is interpreted as occurring due to the interference of some unconscious (‘dynamically repressed’) wish, conflict, or train of thought. The concept is thus part of classical psychoanalysis. As a common pun goes, “A Freudian slip is when you mean one thing, but you say another.”

“Slips of the tongue and the pen are the classic parapraxes, but psychoanalytic theory also embraces such phenomena as misreadings, mishearings, temporary forgettings, and the mislaying and losing of objects.”

Okay, that’s the definition of it and clearly this man had such a slip. However, for those who want to condemn him for this, think hard about how u never slip or speak accidentally when using the word “b***h” or “bytch” while talking about your beautiful sisters and/or while referring to certain males as such in order to humiliate them or put them in their place, below real men where u think women really belong. I’m sure freakish Freud would love to see u on his couch to discuss ur justification of hating, denigrating and humiliating women while killing a White guy for slipping up.

Say, can any of u who condemn him and find this man guilty of being a true racist tell me how this man has done anything in his life to hurt u, ur children, ur culture, ur race, ur religion, ur women, ur economy, ur music, ur education, ur thought processing abilities or anything else related to u and ur struggle to become someone or something? Good luck!

freudian slip my ass

and, i can just imagine all the “jokes” before the broadcast
f**k that mofo

He probably told his co-host “Watch I get away with calling Martin Luther King (some white folk won’t refer to him as Dr.) a coon on the show.” So I think they were trying to be funny. That’s how some white dudes are, not all but some. Probably even had a good laugh afterwards. I’m glad someone was watching ESPN and caught it.

Freudian like “bytch” right?The other day I attempted to say Bart but the word fart came out. perhaps i’m against flatulence…what do u think? prove he meant it by his history and i’ll totally get on board. i can prove ur sexist by ur use of the word bytch so prove he intended to say coon and that this was all part of some huge conspiracy to keep u and ur children from ever making it…ur reaction to this makes u look like a laughing stock to the majority of people sharing ur country with u. get on to something important, like better schools k-12, prenatal care, job creation, and so forth. wow! Go Jets! :)

Lol Freud was one of the colossal lunatics of our time, yet some people still use his theories interchangeably with accepted norms, as if they assume it to exist! Freud also theorized that young boys in the traditional family were driven by an underlying motive to oust the father and enter into a sexual relationship with their own mother. And need we even discuss the laughable p***s envy theory? Point is, you lose credibility when you cite Freud.

That being said, there is no freudian slip here, because it doesn’t exist!

And its ironic that Casey’s most profoundly irrelevant article (which is in itself an achievement) has generated so many comments.

Yeah I think he’s been calling him Martin Luther Coon for some time now and obviously F’d up on air. Glad I dont even know what show it is. I def. wouldn’t watch it.

Back from Haiti so soon Lakerdude19? Well done on the job you and the fellow missionaries have accomplished there. Not sure what the CIA offers in the way of Meritorious Achievement awards, but I’m confident you’re in line for one. What’s your next assignment? Venezuela, Cuba, Nigeria, Yemen?

What you give, you get back. http://www.moderndayblackmomma.com
Gen Eyes Wide…listen real good.

This was not a mistake, there are too many letters in King and Junior to come up with coon. Even when you say it fast 10 times, there is no way you can come up with coon.

So lakerdue19, just because freud had some crazy ideas and did some crazy sht does not mean all he said was ridiculous. “Point is, you lose credibility when you cite Freud.” HMMM! Ur opinion but not factual by any means. It’s just a point ur making and that’s all, noting more noting less and nothing to back ur opinion up. The fact is, making a Freudian slip is not such a crazy idea at all. the fact is, without that lunatic’s research modern psychology would be in the dark ages. That lunatic gave birth to what is considered psychiatry, which, by the way, i believe is as loony today as it was in his day, but I never throw the baby out with the bath water. Quacks are as notable today as they were in his day but then again, if u look at how modern medicine evolved and how new age medicine is making it’s way through our system u might just notice a similar pattern, but I doubt u can throw all that has come before out because they used to put leaches on people to suck the bad blood out of we folks. HMMM!
Anyway, u missed the larger point, which is, get over it and make something happen! Do something, go to ur council meetings, get involved in a proactive community development organization, join ur library as a volunteer and bring programs that will help young poverty stricken kids. Put down the fuking basketball and pick up a pen. Get these kids on computers and teach them how to write software programs. Raise money for ur kid’s elementary school so they have fuking books. Christ this is fuking stupid. I got 300 computers donated to my 1st non-profit org in 1996/97 and placed them into an inner city elementary school library and fifth grade class rooms. Prior to that day, they had no computers. 10 computers went into a community center and 5 went into a homeless shelter in another city. I volunteered and taught the kids how to use the computers and software until they could teach others and then I left. What the fuk r u whiners doing to make a real difference? Today, i run an inner city library as a volunteer. DO SOMETHING or shut up about ur feelings getting hurt by some unimportant white sports announcer.

white ppl are the lowest form of being human on the air and off.

Hey only he know if he meant it or not..

Lucem have you ever heard someone refer to a freudian slip and it not be in jest? Freud was a lunatic, but his profound determination was a spark plug for psychological research. Even so, he was still crazy.

and _A_, nice try…

I believe it was a mistake. It kills my how racist black people are. We say and do much worse to each other. Ya’ll need to get mad at these rappers and BET with that crap they put on TV. When ya’ll get mad about that let me know. Half of the people making comments don’t watch the show and would know Mr. Greenberg’s character on air would not lead me to believe he would say something like that.

I just want to know what was on his mind and why was he thinking of COON when he was covering Martin Luther King Jr? Was he wanting to eat one or just wanting to let that-slip? I guess we will never know-o’well time to move on to the next level of I didn’t mean it or it just slipped.(JMO)

ALL PIGS ARE INHERENTLY ”RACIST” AND IT WAS NOT A MISTAKE AT ALL WHAT HE SAID BECAUSE ”RACISM” AND ALL EVIL IS DELIBERATE YET INTERRACIAL DATING AND INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE IS ON THE RISE MORE THAN EVER BEFORE WORLDWIDE AND THAT NEEDS TO STOP FOREVER RIGHT NOW ALSO SO STOP BOWING DOWN TO OUR SLAVE ”MASSA” OWNERS THAT IS THE ”ELITE” BANKERS NEW WORLD ORDER BUT YOU DON’T HEAR ME THOUGH.

That was not a mistake, slurring words? come on! how does king and coon even remotely sound alike? ESPN can for get about me watching cracker and cracker in the morning.

That was a mistake..black people are quick to think white people are racist. Some are, not all. It seems today that more black people are becoming racist than whites. We blame all our down falls on white poeple, when we create them ourselves…the white man isnt trying to keep everyone down no more, it America!

Believe me this was no mistake not all white people are racist but 99.99% of them are.

As a 52 year old Black Man from Chicago I have said Martin Luther King’s name at least 5,000 times in my life and have never ever made a dumb ass mistake like that. Those words only come from stupid,ignorant,racist White people. I’ll never watch that show again. Will he be suspended or promoted?

->MISTAKE->APOLOGIZE= EASY 4 HIM

well if it slipped it slipped,everyone in this world needs to pull together and stop being racist.

He slurred “King” and “Junior.” For risk of sounding ridiculous I will not postulate a mechanism of how that might come out sounding like “coon,” but rest-assured it is possible.

And isn’t it so convenient that half of the people claiming racism in this case happen to excel in speech pedagogy or occupational therapy? It stopped me in my tracks! lol

There is alot of underlined resentment for african american athletes in the white community. One because alot of them cant do what they do and are then held to the desk jobs that he holds but still make very good money. The other is they dont understand why we should be celebrating a man that has nothing to do with them. As far as the slip of the word I dont think it was a mistake. As playful as those two are i’m sure it could have even been a dare. The bottomline is that we dont belong here and we never have. Yes we have integrated into this society but with every sucess their is a trap. Alot of it comes from Masonic rituals and accepting things they dont understand for temporary gain. The other is you can continue to be a human being without making a mistake. And in this babylonian culture every mistake made by a black man is highlighted while every mistake made by a white man we are giving them the benefit of the doubt. But the larger truth is every man of every race including white are slaves to a spiritual war that is almost at an apex. The rest of the World observes this country and all of them are ready to deal with it. At some point we have to leave here or we will recieve the hot ish that is coming this way…

What Christ has to say about the fate of this place…

Matthew 24:27 For as the “lightning” cometh out of the “East”; and shineth even unto the “West”; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.

Understand what is being said. Christ is talking about nukes hitting America from the middle east(Iran) or Asia. If you doubt whats being said read verse 29..

“Immediately” after the tribulation of those days shall the “sun be darkened” and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

What happens after a nuke hits a area. The radiation blocks out the sun. Doesnt make sense to you still?

Read the entire Matthew 24th chapter. Matter of fact get into your bibles as a whole Tribe of Judah…

Babylon the Great has fallen

Get out of her..

1 love

Come on now black people We all know he didn’t mean to say it. Fact is he was thinking it and it finally came out. That usually happens if you have those thoughts in your head. Serves him right. What’s stirring up on the inside will most definately show up on the outside. Overtly he’s just fooling himself. See love and hate can not come from the same place. He should have not been saying it other places or why did it sheak up on Him in front of even his own white friends, Self exposure. and I’m not hating; he only made himself look cheap.

I personally don’t see how he can get the word COON out of the name King Jr.
And rather if he meant it or not we will never know-time to move on. Im sure he want be the last to let something slip and nothing be done.(JUST MY OPINION)

This same thing happened a few years ago with another reporter.

why have white people been putting on those bed sheets lately?

you cracker devil, you cracker devil

i believe him , he has a history of slurring his words up

It’s good to know that people on Black Planet are doin’ what they can to make a change for the better. Instead of realizing that this is just one more person (it doesn’t matter what race it is), that’s completely ignorant, people jump on the ‘all white people are the devil’ wagon. I just hope that one or two of ya’ realize what Martin Luther King Jr. stood for and that your comments would make him roll over in his grave. The man stood for equality for all, not for races to create hate. There’s enough hate in our country’s past that the majority in this day and age didn’t create or approve of. Be wise enough to condemn hate and ignorance of all races whether they are white, black, yellow, or brown. You’re just feeding into the system by adding comments fueled by your own racism and prejeduces…..
