Video: Clip Emerges of Jerry Jones Making Racially-Charged Joke

[TrailBlazer]

This is a non story other than the belief that the NFL leaked this to take a shot at Jerry. Jerry didn't say anything wrong.
We may have to plan a riot. This is getting crazy.

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

So saying the word "black" is now racially offensive?

Apparently it’s “insensitive”. One notch below “offensive”, two notches below “outrageous”, and three notches below “racist”.

 

[TrailBlazer]

It's 2017 - this can easily destroy him.

I can't stand this outrage culture.

Even by today's standards, that was pretty mild.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Everything is racist, guys.

White men are the devil

 

[PBCCowboy]

Non story.
Nothing there that is offensive.

 

[MileyDancer]

Says more about our society today (can't talk about it here) than it does Jerry Jones.

Exactly.

 

[Alexander]

Society is basically over

Yes. Yes it is. At least as you know it.

 

[Alexander]

"You know he's with a black girl tonight"?

Ok what am i missing?

Maybe it is some rite of passage I am not aware of.

and four steps from a swing your partner and do-si-do

OK that's it. I've had it. If we have destroy the village to save the village, if we have to decimate the NFL & cause it's viewership/merchandise sales/ticket sales to plummet to get this current management team out of the front office of the league, then so be it.

I'll watch SOME Dallas games, but that's it.

 

[Alexander]

I guess I missed the racial slur part or it went over my head

He said "black".

 

[Alexander]

This has been out for at least 45 minutes and ESPN hasn’t even touched it yet from what I seen.

I doubt this turns into anything.

This is pretty tough for ESPN to cover.

Give them about 24 hours.

Jerry looked like he was so drunk he could hardly keep his eyes open, but I would need to know what the conversation was prior to this before coming to any conclusion.

So saying the word "black" is now racially offensive?

No, its the idea that a white guy would presume he is entitled to joke around with "blackness," not that he said the word black. But still, its really weak here and there is some context that isn't being shown. I think Jerry will be OK.

 

[Alexander]

There is nothing "racially charged" in this video.

This is why people are distrusting the mass media more and more nowadays.

People are distrusting?

I think the media is just a catalyst for discussion and eventually outrage now.

It has nothing to do with "trust". And if it means that to you, then you are pretty damn stupid.

Jerry drunk things should be of no surprise by now.

Just curious though. He has done some seriously nasty looking things on video.

Back then it was like, oh, okay. LOL.

In our world, right now? This is triggering some folks, I am sure.

That is just the deal right now.

We live in a culture right now where people are trained like Pavlovian dogs to pile on to the Outrage of the Day.

"Hey I just checked in guys. WHAT ARE WE OUTRAGED ABOUT TODAY?! AWESOME! Lemme at 'em!"

I hope the moderation keeps this discussion open, but I don't think that will be the case.

Good luck to you with that opinion, and God speed.

This is what I hate about the information age. Make some stupid joke 20 years ago and it will come back to haunt you way out of context years later. Jerry Jones is about the last person I would call a racist.

The Johnny Walker blue was flowing that night...doubt he even remembers this

That night, but he actually drinks Woodford Reserve now.
