    He just wants to fight them. It doesn't mean he hates them!

    Does that prove he hates black people or does it prove he is a colossal idiot who needs to stay away from alcohol?

    I'm sure all the nonracist bros threaten to fight all the niggers when they get drunk, too.

    I think he listens to too much hip hop music

    Boom, I'm going to give credit for that as a Jay-Z reference.

    Still need Sharpton though.

    He might just show up. Things have been pretty calm lately so he probably needs another trumped up
    controversy to replenish the coffers.

    BTW Cooper is available for speaking engagements

    No outrage. Just highly amused.

    I'm surprised that people still buy calendars.

    Funnier that Mark Sanchez is September. If he is your starting QB in Sept your season
    is over.

    The Cooper "nigger" controversy reminds me a little bit of the Justine Sacco Twitter controversy being talked about on another thread. I've heard young men, white and black, use "nigger" as slang for "person."

    Context matters.

    If Riley Cooper had called LeSean McCoy a "dumb nigger," that's quite different than Riley Cooper saying, "I will fight every nigger here," talking about white people at a goddamned Kenny Chesney concert.

    He said it in reaction to the black security guard who wouldn't let him go backstage.
