For example, this is from Reuters. Based on this alone you'd think Williams got up there in black face or a KKK outfit and called him a friggin porch monkey or something.
Basically my point exactly.

I wasn't there, but unless Williams was throwing down slurs that should only appear in 50 cent lyrics, then no, he wasn't going out of his way to be racist. However, the fact that he could have said '#######' instead of 'Black #######' is what the media took off with and won't let go of by my guess.
