I expect RPG to be fired for this! This is not even his first Boo Boo!

Give it a couple of weeks.

And then you can thank me for calling it!

See you in a couple of weeks!

He misspoke. I'm a Richard Sherman fan, but I think trying to break into his in laws home in a drunken rage is much worse than just misspeaking. And Sherman's got a cherry commentator spot on TNF! Why aren't white supremacists like Textie bashing Richard?

If a white man said that he'd be fired within the hour and no one else would hire him - it would be an instant and total blacklist. If anything is done to griffin it won't be much.

Look at the context on which he said it - if he was really talking about black people when he said "jigaboos" then you should be able to find another Griffin quote referencing the "jigaboos" he was speaking of.

Your thread is just another whataboutism fail, Tiger!

I just did in the next post. Griffin meant to say, "bugaboo".

Another whataboutism fail.

Robert Griffin III recently apologized after using the term “jigaboos” during ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown pregame show coverage between the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals.

While discussing Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ performance against the New York Giants, Griffin stated, ” People said that Jalen Hurts couldn’t get it done. He could not break from the pocket. He’s not the quarterback of the future,” Griffin said. “I think he proved all those jigaboos wrong.”

Yeah because Bugaboos and jigaboos sound the same and bugaboos makes sense in the sentence. Happy New Year Lurch!

I'm sure Gary Hahn meant to say undocumented alien. Sounds the same right?

:facepalm:

Based on the context in which he used the word, it makes sense. Your whataboutism fails, son.

Bugaboo doesnt make any sense in context either though. Makes way less sense then jigaboo. Heres why. A Bugaboo is an error, a mistake,.....so lets put that into context with what he said...." I think he proved all those errors wrong" Doesnt make any sense at all. But Jigaboo is actually at least talking about a type of PERSON as racist as it may be. Lets test it out in context......." I think he proved all those jigaboos wrong" Yep......in context makes A LOT more sense than BUGABOO. RG3 is obviously lying.
 
Also,........RG3 has been accused by some black people in the past as speaking TOO WHITE and not black sounding enuff. The picture is becoming quite clear as to why he would accidentally let the term jigaboo slip on air. :thinking:

It just rolled out of his mouth like the N word rolls out of the mouths of many Black people. It is probably a term he often uses among his Black friends.

Look at the entire quote. In context, it makes sense. Unless you know which "jibgaboos" he was talking about you're just another white grievance, "gotcha" failure.

Yes, it does make sense. "Bugaboos" as Griffin meant to use it referred to the problems Hurts was having. So, I'll ask you the same question: If Griffin was really talking about "jigaboos", who was he referring to? Yeah.. that's right. I'm correct.
 
Text is the proudest and worst racist I have seen on a board. I dismiss anything he says, but I do note who comes to his thread rescues. They hide their racism better. But not as well as they think.

What is wrong with "illegal alien". That is exactly what they are. It's not a racial slur. "Cracker" is a racial slur and Bill Maher is allowed to call white people that all the time on national tv.

I smell a lawsuit. This is outrageous.

Asylum seekers are not illegal aliens. You should not hate people looking to better themselves, but those who destroyed their countries. America has had a big hand in making those countries what they are.

I'll ask you the last time and then I'll just accept your surrender. If Griffin was referring to "jigaboos", meaning "other black people", who was he talking about?

You cant just assume he is talking about black people. You DONT KNOW THAT and cant read his mind. He could just be talking about Random people who were bashing Hurts and using the term jigaboos as a derogatory.

At this point I would be okay with that, the change has happened and the consumer would put Walmart out of business, not the government.

Seriously??? You support letting walmart refuse to hire blacks?? How about letting them ban blacks from even entering the store.? That would make walmart a fortune as blacks love to steal.

Stop making excuses for griffin . We all know if he was white he'd be banned and blacklisted instantly for using such a racial slur.

Then we're back to Griffin just using the wrong word, like when a toddler says, "fuck" instead of "truck". Not a firing offense.

When that sportscaster talked about "the illegal aliens" in El Paso, it was NOT a mistake. It was malicious.

Check and mate.
