Studio drops Mel Gibson

[TheCount]

you're full of S**t, I would be willing to bet my next years worth of paychecks that over half of the members of this board have called someone the "N" word one time or another, does that make everyone who's ever used the Taboo "N" word racist? Once morons get over the fact it's just another word and not a racial slur then most of the racial tension over the word will go away. Why is it a group of black people can call white people "N" word but if a white person calls a black person or another white person the "N" word they are a racist. it's double standards, blacks cry racism all day long, when the majority of the racism I see is black to white. it's a derogatory word regardless if it's used towards a white or black person, it has nothing to do with race IMO.

Congratulations you have achieved the impossible. You've left the internet speechless.

Love Mel Gibson's movies. And even I think he's a crazy, racist, nut.

so let me guess I'm a racist because I've called people the "N" word? ROFL yeah if that's all it takes to be a racist then I'm a racist, forget about my Neice who's half black and white, or my kids GF who's black or all my friends who are black. Which everyone would tell you i'm furthest from racist as can be. Lets just let one word used in anger make anyone who's ever used it a racist. Hell Sen Byrd the one who just passed away, the Democrat from W Va was an ex clan member, a high ranking clan member, yet even black people voted for him for years. But let everyone cruisify Mel Giboson for calling saying his wife would get raped by a gang "N" word in the heat of an argument, and he's a racist. American's have such screwed up standards these days.

The original point I was making was just because someone uses the "N" word does not make them a racist.

He's done a lot more than use a single epithet in anger. Gibson's got issues, and they're escalating.

Has anyone heard the recording?

It's absolutely insane.

No need to listen to it. I read part of the transcript on a news site. Amazing how far into the past some people still live.

The next time your phone rings, don't expect it to be Mensa on the other end.

After making The Passion of The Christ he opened a portal for all kinds of spiritual attack and it would affect any man...

forget about my Neice who's half black and white, or my kids GF who's black or all my friends who are black.

I always find this amusing. Before even getting just a few posts in, I knew someone would qualify something with this statement. People always qualify statements on race with how many minorities they know.

ROFL, just because someone uses the "N" word does not make them a racist, I've known a ton of people myself included who when they've lost their temper call someone a "N", it doesn't matter if they are white or black. Hell I've known tons of Black guys call other's the "N" word again it doesn't matter if they are Black or white. So IMO just by using the "N" word doesn't make someone a racist.

I still like Mel and will watch any movie he's in or makes, he's a better director these days than an actor but I still enjoy his movies...

Apparently you are unaware of Gibson's ENTIRE past history.

Nobody that says that word is not a racist. And you'll never convince anyone else in the world of that.

You understand that, by proxy, you've inherently admitted you condone racism right?

Now I don't use the word myself, and I can't stand to hear anyone use it cause it makes them sound ignorant, but seriously?

Every person who uses that word is racist huh?

So just about every single black person on the face of the planet is racist? I mean they only throw the word around daily, at one another and others, like it's just any other word.

Every rapper on the face of the Earth is racist?

It's a stupid word, and it makes the people using sound very stupid, but I don't agree that it automatically makes them a racist.

I've got plenty of black friends and every single one of them have used that word toward one another on numerous occassions and yet they're still friends with this white guy who absolutely can't stand the word.

Hold up, everyone. This is serious business.

$200 is on the line.

LOL!

That was good.

No we don't.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

No we don't.

Actually quite a few do. Which is why I said "just about every", which is honestly to broad a depiction on my part, but I'm friends with and/or know plenty of black folks who throw that word around daily at one another and others who, to my knowledge from being around them or friends with them, are not actually racist.

Sometimes it is best just to walk away.

I think we all have our times where walking away would be better than the alternative.
