Okay. Anyone who is okay with him telling someone they might get raped by N**'s - are you insane?
Racism and rape are both very real and terrible.
If you are okay with this think about your own mother (this woman he said this to is a mother as well) it is her fault if she gets raped.
Also the N word? Used in a serious fucking context? Anyone who is okay with this has never experienced actual racism.
- the comment about rape is kinda sad, but i think rap/hip hop culture's use of the use of the 'n-word' has desensitized our society so that it doesn't mean what it used to. not a justification, just an observation.SteveJobs

- also, humans find old codgers harmless and endearing no matter how offensive their statements are.SteveJobs
- As a society we may be desensitized to the word, but the context in which he used it is very clear.Wolfboy
- The fact that Mel Gibson is a worthless cunt is also very clear.Wolfboy

I find it hard to get my head around how anyone can find this shit funny? It's not like this is some senile old guy who can't hold it together, spouting his opinions from a different era. He's a lucid middle aged guy who is clearly the kind of bigoted arse-hole that only holds society back.
I just hope this is too much from him to come back from on a public level. But I doubt it judging by some of the responses I've seen and read to this latest bout of verbal diarrhoea

"I think rap/hip hop culture's use of the use of the 'n-word' has desensitized our society so that it doesn't mean what it used to. not a justification, just an observation."
Slight difference perhaps in saying, "hey, my n*gga"
versus, "as a white man, I take the view that n*ggers are like a bunch of animals that run around in packs raping women."

^ to you and me, yes, but not everyone.

also, it's kind of lame to blame hip hop culture for that, i'll admit. a lot of it has to do with our history here in america, especially for those who grew up in the south. racism was very much a part of the last generation, and that has carried over to a large extent to younger generations, i think.
- Well, hip hop definitely didn't shut it down...but I think Mel was drawing from the older, pre-hip hop mentality thereukit

Come on Steve, there's such a clear context in what he said - at the end of the day in his head there is something worse than a woman being raped - a woman being raped by a black man.
What ever word he uses to signify the black man he is still exposing himself as a racist.

Wolfboy, let me be clear.
i am not defending his actions in any way. i was only only stating why others here might not find his words as offensive, ok? jesus..

who does he care, dude is worth almost $1 billion.

Steve - I'm not saying you are defending him, but I disagree that the use of that word can be taken as anything but offensive in the way that he has used it.
you may or may not be right about it in more general usage, but here it is just horrendous.
- i disagree as well, but some of these comments appeared accusatory toward me, so i'm just being clear.SteveJobs
- nothing personal, just disagreeing with that particular statement.Wolfboy
- you got off lightly there, Jobs !mikotondria3
- oh?SteveJobs

Jeez. Sounded like a pretty private conversation. What right did she have to record it? She felt threatened... what.. over the phone? C'mon.
I think any arguements, racist or otherwise just got thrown out the window.
