Mel Gibson's Racist Rant Caught On Tape

[_Simpson_ 250]

In his heart? Only he can know that.

Unfortunately people are judged by the words they use. That he screamed "n!gger" at a black man seems racist to me.

I seen a man who was pissed off because they were being rude and he knew exactly how to return the favor. I think it was nothing more than that. I dont know the man, but that indecent alone is not proof.

You can't prove what is going on in someone's head. As I said - people are judged on the basis of the words they use.

Unfair? Perhaps - but that's life.

Before you guys got off on the origins of the "n" word, what I was getting at was are we now saying in the media and general society that someone is "racist" because they say an offensive word one time during a drunken tirade?

I found it somewhat surprising this was labeled as a "racist" outburst when the only hint of racism was the use of the "n" word once. There were sexually-themed insults throughout yet it wasn't labeled as being "sexist."

Why?

Yes it was. Maybe not in this specific article, but the mysogynism wasn't ignored.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Mysogyny and the fact that Mel has said racist things in public before.

Very few men have the ability to be happy and secure in a realtionship with a woman that does not go unnoticed in a crowd. For them, there are women from places other than the former Soviet Union. They should choose one and live happily ever after. There is little way, if any, to "dress down" a truly beautiful woman, a burka may work, not much else.

For men who are secure that they offer something a woman will remain loyal to, particularly a woman that tends to be loyal if given the chance, the women of the FSU area a wonderful blessing. I hope Oksana will find a deserving man, not just a horn-dog who thought he would like to sample some sweet Russian honey-pot and was under the mistaken impression that a non-feminist is a "stepford wife".

Oh lord, not this anti-feminism junk again

Mel, from your "body of work" you have few equals, but people are starting to see you like this:

Modern Primitive

Again, "snap out of it"

The only one keeping Mel down is Mel himself.

Oh come on. You should know by now that all real women are anti-feminists. For shame.
