Sorry John, JK

Posted By: Rhys

I think what James is trying to say is basically this. What Imus said was wrong and stupid. But Black artists and performers say similar and worse things every day and nobody cares. At its core Freedom of Speech only pertains to the Government, but shouldn't a racial comment be a racial comment regardless of who says it or what context or medium it is delivered through? I know James pretty well and he is an intelligent man and if he were racist, he would not be one of my better friends in the hobby (see below).

DISCLAIMER, Before anyone brands me a racist or anything like that, I am from a mixed race family and have 8 Black brothers and sisters and am of a religois minority which has been persucuted heavily since its inception.
