Don Banks: Redskins Hater and Racist

[Ade Jimoh Fan Club]

DR,

I usually like your posts - but I think you are off base with this one. He was referencing the fact that Ricky's been hanging out with and mooching off of Lennie Kravitz, and that Ricky's not a singer/dancer but a football player.

Plus, I don't automatically associate singing and dancing with the African American race - I definitely didn't make that mental leap when I read the article. I mean, how do you explain the Backstreet Boys and Brittney Spears???! (Ummm... totally joking about that sentence - let's make that perfectly clear....)

If he was going for a racial slur, there are a lot more obvious ones out there (like the ones you used in your examples or say, watermelon and fried chicken).

However, I'm guessing that (unlike Ricky) he probably wants to keep his job.

And if I am wrong, I'll help you kick that honkey's head in!

Peace.

Fair enough - I didn't make that connection, but now that you point it out, I see your point.
