"... swastikas and racial slurs"

Jackie Robinson statue at Brooklyn ballpark vandalized with swastikas and racial slurs

[Benjamin Grimm]

Too bad we can't come up for a cure for assholes.

[Edgy MD]

I have to say, I kind of like that (at least, so far), neither the content (beyond the swastika) nor photos have been released.

I always roll my eyes at that sort of censoring, especially when they'll surface, since I'm sure people took pictures.

But, there's someone to punch. That deadspin guy gets a pass today.

[Edgy MD]

It is not censoring to choose not to release what has been written on your statue, your eyes notwithstanding.

OE: But, yeah, it looks like Deadspin has the actual words.

I took pictures at that statue this summer, shame that it got vandalized.

Luther told me the Warriors did it.

Doesn't this thread have the same name as the new album by Ted Nugent?

[Edgy MD]

The interesting thing is that phrase that was written was probably pretty characteristic of the abuse that was being rained down on Robinson when the scene supposedly took place. In a sense, the foul slurs are appropriate, in an offensive art installation sense.

What makes you say this?
I don't follow him, remember more the wang dang
sweet poontang years and not his political years.

[bmfc1]

Kong76--let's just say he's waaaaaaaaaaay on the right.

[Frayed Knot]

Does that alone make him a racist or is there something specific that he's said along those lines?

[bmfc1]

Google the bastard. It's Harvey night. Enjoy.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Not googling to support anyone's point. Either he's said
anti-semetic or other racial slurs or he hasn't.

I know he turned out to be an ass at times, enjoyed his
music when I was young.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I remember reading a profile-- Detroit Free-Press? St. Louis Dispatch?-- a while back referencing his rampant use of "nigger" and other racial slurs.

He remains really... um... un-averse to racial caricature.
