Requires the flames coach to step down, black face and he gets re-elected!
I have lost nearly all confidence in society.
Remember blazing saddles?

Liberals are held to a different standard, different rules apply to them, everyone knows that. ??

Personally, I am relieved that the blackface scandal was NOT the straw that broke the camels back. If voters were able to overlook the gross incompetence, the complete lack of ethics, absolute disrespect for the law, the sexism, the corruption, the favoritism, the hypocrisy, the international embarrassment, the economic suicide mission, and the disgusting level of arrogance in the PM, yet couldn't forgive him for poor judgement in costume choice, I would have been much more disappointed in the voters. There is still an iota of hope, however minute it may be.

There's a world of hurt coming for anyone who has ever had a past. Thank God there was no internet or smart phones when I was in my 20's. I still shudder at some of the shit we did but at least there's no hard record of most of it.

The pendulum swings.

You bet, dozens of NON correct terms were used!

Best response in Agriville to date.

For centuries different ethnic groups ALL had nicknames, some derogeratory, some based in racism, some that were once acceptable non-derogeratory or racial but are no longer acceptable....

.....get over it.

Okay apparently he still has 2 years left on his contract. He maybe not the greatest guy but..... did he do anything wrong while working for them! No one is allowed to change?? Even if he didn't change so long as he did nothing wrong while in their employ I can see a law suit for wrongful dismissal.

I am afraid some day they will be coming for me,as I had a team of percherons and guess what ones name was,had a black dog named n----, I still cuss them black f--g cows but I guess I can change and call them aberden angus,but its a lot easer to call them black SOBs.
And they wont need an archive for motion pictures in Hollywood because they will have to burn all the movies made before 2005. Its what we were raised with,may have been unkind but it was comon. Strange how you can swear all kinds of obsenites but dont mention race or religion.

It wasn't just the use of racist slurs it was also the physical altercations with players in Carolina.

It was a pattern of stupid and abusive behavior. Do you really want coaches like that in any sport? They sure don't bring out the best in any player or team.

Hockey culture is changing. There have been too many abusers and knuckleheads like Graham James who exploited and abused young guys who are too afraid to speak up.
