C'mon Man-racist segment on ESPN

JackStraw77 · Dec 10, 2008

I find it offensive that Chris Berman puts on a black accent when doing it's
C'mon Man segment on Monday Night Countdown. What's even more disgusting is Chris Carter and Tom Jackson go along with it. Wasn't this same Tom Jackson who was in tears when Rush Limabaugh ripped McNabb
when he worked on the show. I'm trying to think why it's so humorous when Chris Berman does this. The fact is, it's not. It's demeaning. Tom Jackson is a hypocrite, passing judgement on black players lifestyles but laughing at Berman's lame Chris Rock imitation.

I don't know if its racist but watching Berman and Ditka try and talk black makes my skin crawl. It is the absolute dumbest bit on that show. When they do it i literally change the channel for 5 minutes.

If you want to make a big deal of this, while your at it, call out some of the announcers complaining of a lack of black coaches. I'm sick to death to keep hearing about that. I don't hear anyone talking about the disparity among NBA players. Lets level that playing field a little bit their before we whine about the lack of black coaches

exactly

And why is "racism" only a problem when it is a white guy talking about black? What about 99% of black comedians that use "white" accents while making fun of white people? Reverse racism makes me sicker than racism

Why do you watch TV...... You could be out working/working/working and then sleeping and getting up and working/working/working and then going home to go to sleep so you can get up early to go to WORK!

Don't waste your time use it........... I said last week to use the Lions and Eagles and not be surprised if both won. I've been Working/Working/Working. Oh what the Hell.....

I'll predict a Houston win

black and white pres....that is...lol

seriousaddiction · Dec 11, 2008

will you shut up...someone already said it....when Chris Berman pretends hes a black guy for a minute the world is about to end. When Chris Rock becomes a white person for 5 minutes its the funniest shit anyone has ever heard. Open your eyes before you start an ignorant thread like this. Stop playing the victim and realize there is racism on both ends please:toast:
