He has been banned for life for comments he made in his own home, am I the only guy who thinks this is wrong?

I had to look him up. *shrug* It's a wash. People have a right to hold racist attitudes, and organisations have a right to disassociate themselves from people with racist attitudes.

If he does not like blacks ( not sure if that is true his girlfriend is half black and half Mexican so he might not be recist) He might have said those things becasue he was angry with her, This PC crap is way out of control. Where did they get those tapes? From his girlfroend maybe, does that not speak more of her character than his?

Should have never said it if you ask me. Racist comments should not be used in a offensive way. Sure maybe while joking with friends but to actually use it as an insult is offensive.

Nope. Pretty sure it speaks to his character.

Look, he is free to have those opinions. He is not free to be a representative of a multibillion dollar organization and affect all of the other owners' bottom lines by saying those things out loud, whether he thought it was private or not.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Don't joke and be rude about ethnicity and/or race ever.
That seems like a good frame of mind!

Why? Your screen name says you're a free thinker, but you advocate violence against those who think differently than you.

Not big on free speech, then?

Sorry, but when people like that appear it makes me mad. He can say what he wants, but you can't say what ever and not expect consequences. Again sorry rage has taken over me, I have had my run with raciest before and they make me really mad.
