This guy went rogue, got busted and is obviously very job scared.He is worthless. Jay did a good job with him and was alot more compassionate than most would be.
I’m not a member of the moral police; I will leave the discussion of whether the young man deserves a pass or if his apology was sincere to others. Here is my question to those what have commented in this thread, how is his comment in regards to all people of Cajun heritage “missing link” any different from what Donald Sterling stated in a recorded private conversation? If he would have mentioned any other ethnic group or culture like Hispanic, Asian or African American, would the same people be willing to give this kid a pass? For those that were outraged by Donald Sterling’s comments, do you arbitrarily give this young man a pass because he was talking about a Caucasian culture? Just thought I would ask the question because some people on this board called in to ESPN1420 when the news of Sterling’s comments broke and were outraged.
Just to be clear, I don’t care what he stated about Lafayette because I’ve heard some of that garbage before and many of us have said similar things about Monroe and a few other communities. But I’ve never attacked another culture or ethnic group which such callousness on any message board, blog, print media and radio.
I personally don't give a crap about any of it, like Cuban said people are allowed to be morons. He is the ignorant one, if he never comes back and never gets to enjoy this place and our people, ____em...his loss not mine. I do agree if it was any other culture,ethnicity or race ____ would have really hit the fan. Does anyone really care if this clown ever comes back to Lafayette? And to the people who would believe what he said, without finding out for themselves, considering what people generally know about our culture are just as ignorant. That's the people I feel sorry for...not me.
Great point T. A MSU fan expressed a similar view on elitedawgs:
"BTW, this whole thing shines a light on why a lot of the uproar over 'racism' is ridiculous. At this point, we all know skin color doesn't determine a thing, so anyone being 'racist' to those with a different skin color is more than likely stereotyping and discriminating because of culture. He just said, 'I'm not going to say they're not people,' meaning Cajuns. That is a culture in the same way we think of African-American culture as something separate from others. Yet no one cares because he has pale skin and the people he's talking about mostly have pale skin, too.
Had he gone on a visit to Harlem and told people, 'I can't understand them. I'm not going to say they're not people...' he would be fired, blackballed, and would probably never work again."
This guy either :
A) Really listened to Jumbocajun's advice on the out of town thread. Shame on you Jumbo.
B) Couldn't find a trailer park to accomodate his double wide while in town.
C) Got caught in the Lafayette DWI check point & ended up in the grey bar motel.
D) Got rousted by the cops looking for a hooker on Cameron.
E) Picked up a tranny on Cameron then got rousted by a cop who was laughing his ___ off.
We cover the facts. You decide.
My @$$! You obviously didn't hear this punk say what I heard him say. The guy said we weren't even human beings. I can't help it that his boss only gave him enough expense money to stay in some crack dive on Cameron street & that he drives some POS 15 year old Ford with faulty head lights. And that he got caught out after dark trying to pick up God only knows what off of Simcoe. And that he obviously didn't get lucky in his campaign to conquest. And that he can't afford anywhere to live in Lafayette on a thousand dollar a month income. And I can't help it that he can't afford a Tom Tom, or that he doesn't realize that when you make a fool out of yourself publicly your probably going to end up on record on the internet eternally. He's an idiot. And an idiot shouldn't be patted on the back for admitting they're an idiot.
Bingo T. We talked about that at work. I respect Jay, but the interview, to me, came off as a beer summit moment. I didn't like that profiling was thrown out there for the police incident. Get the officer's side before a judgement like that is used. I have a cousin that is a Lafayette officer and his dad was a sheriff's deputy before passing away and that allegation got under my skin. You want to talk about how bad the streets are layed out? Sure. We all know that. Did the traffic stop play part? Sure, but he didn't even get a ticket. This guy piled on attacking an entire city, people, their culture and their heritage. It was malicious. I personally don't think he apologizes if not called out. A simple, "I'm so sorry." doesn't just wipe the slate for now. Will I forgive him? Yes, eventually. I know that he "might" come back on Jay's dime. Ok. When Jay asked him if he would print it in the paper if he changed his mind about us, he crawfished saying he doesn't have the final say so. I would have liked him to have finished that statement with, "But I will try everything in my power to make that happen." Do you really think he will broadcast it on the air? Do you really think that he will even ever show up? I'll believe it when I see it and hear it.
