Most Racially offensive comment poll

[JoseGonzlez]

Ok im very offended by these comments. Just wanted to know what made you the most offended. Personally i dont think anyone can compete with Campanis. Here is a summary.

Al Campanis : Nightline anchorman Ted Koppel asked him why, at the time, there had been few black managers and no black general managers in Major League Baseball. Campanis' reply was that blacks "may not have some of the necessities to be, let's say, a field manager, or, perhaps, a general manager" for these positions. Elsewhere in the interview he said that blacks are often poor swimmers "because they don't have the buoyancy."

Jimmy "The Greek Snyder" On January 16, 1988, he was fired by the CBS network (where he was a contributor to the NFL Today program since 1976) after commenting to a reporter that African Americans were naturally superior athletes because they had been bred to produce stronger offspring during slavery:

“ During the slave period, the slave owner would breed his big black with his big woman so that he would have a big black kid—that's where it all started

At the 1997 Masters tournament, Zoeller made a controversial remark regarding Tiger Woods. After finishing tied for 34th place with a score of 78, Zoeller, referring to the following year's Master's Club Champion's Dinner, for which the defending champion selects the menu, said, "That little boy is driving well and he's putting well. He's doing everything it takes to win. So, you know what you guys do when he gets in here? You pat him on the back and say congratulations and enjoy it and tell him not to serve fried chicken next year. Got it?" Zoeller then smiled, snapped his fingers, and walked away before turning and added, "or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve."

Rush Limbaugh

[JoseGonzlez]

Rush Limbaugh - ah was thinking of another name they had on the list in us today.

Personally though i dont think his comment was very offensive. He said the liberal media members would be more sympathetic to a black quarterback than a white one. Blah it was more a bad media characterization than offesive to mcnabb. Interestingly, i think ESPN's producers told him to spice up his comments a bit and make them more political. I think he was 15 years late in his comments. He might have been right in the early 80s but it was just stupid more than offensive.

I find none of these very offensive. I think it is a joke Imus lost his MSNBC show.

You don't find what campanis or zoeller offensive? Wow, one said all black people were too stupid to manage a team. And the other was extremely condescending in a purely racist way. Those two are blatantly obvious.

zoeller was joking and tiger said he even thought it was funny.I make jokes like that all the time with my black friends, maybe he shouldve used better judgment on saying it in front of national tv but I dont think hes a racist.

One was a joke and the other one probably isnt that far from the truth. I mean look at all of the places in the world. Where are the most underdeveloped countries at?

that is such a stupid thing to say, wow.

The reason those countries are how they are now is because they chose not to be industrialists. They lived a rich, simple life. However the countries that did industrialize took advantage and now you see these countries in the sad state that they are now. I can not believe people still think race has anything to do with intelligence.

Yeah, funny how Asians > Whites > Africans > West Africans on every intelligence test ever invented and academically measured, going on for several decades now. Guess all those academic studies are really just random flukes, huh?

Larry Summers made many accurate points about men being historically much more represented in the 'tails' of higher intelligence than women, particularly in the case of prodigies - music, math, chess, physics - we're talking like a 20-1 ratio of men to women historically speaking. Of course, he got fired for his troubles, and his remarks were far from offensive [and the 4 women who originally voiced their displeasure at them specifically did not want him fired.] Science has proven that men are better at spatial relationships than women, women see more colors than men. Etc.

What is unintelligent is judging individuals purely by a stereotype of the group they belong to.

People like the OP piss me the [censored] off. It's thanks to people like him that everything has become taboo, and that even things complimentary and arbitrarily true automatically become racist.

For instance. If I were to say that a study shows that African Americans are more athletic than Caucasians due to the fact that ligments in their legs are placed to offer more leverage, the OP would probably call me racist against blacks or something.

Some of these comments were racist, the comment about the breeding of the strongest males to produce athletic offspring (if true) was not racist.

The Germans did the same damn thing, and I bet if i mentioned it you wouldn't [censored] say a damn thing about me being a racist because they are German and not black.

(PLZ BAN!!! Yes, that's 3 exclamation marks, not just one so therefor I'm super serious.)

If you want the real racism in the world it's the 'Die infidel [censored] that the middle east is spouting.'
