It is REALLY easy to point fingers at someone who sounds racist, from behind those walls. But how many of their own kids are dating black women? Mean while he lets the N-bomb go and he is the bad guy?
I have a feeling that black people are more offended when two upper-class white people look scared when they pass them on the street (not saying a word, but their fear of being mugged being racist in and of itself - the scene from the movie 'Crash' coming to mind...) than Dwag using the N-word, someone who has slept in the same jail cells and lived on the same streets.
But like i said, that STILL does not make it right. I just don't think it makes him racist either - just ignorant.

I agree with parts of that, but labelling Republicans and all gated community residents is completely ignorant. "White flight", as it is referred to, is an issue, but it's not restricted to political affiliations or to gated communities.
I dont live in an all white neighborhood, I dont restrict anyone from dating a black person and I am no more cautious around black people on the street than Asian, Native, Hispanic or Caucasion. Therefore, I will point my finger at Dawg for being an bigot and racist.
It should be interesting to see how some of his captives react to him after this news makes it around the island. The "find God" and "you need to change your life" s**t that he preaches will be seen for what it is - hypocrisy.
