The picture that this Washington Post author paints comparing Tom Joyner to Rush Limbaugh is spot on. Is it prejudice to give different first amendment freedoms to some while holding another group of people to a different social standard?

Since these comments were not critiqued by many, I’m assuming they were acceptable to the majority. How can anyone who agrees with Joyner these comments continue to support the NFL and/or the Washington Football team? It continues to blow my mind why Democrats and the radical left don’t boycott the NFL. Could it be because of money?

But my sensibilities are particularly offended when the mainstream media doesn’t apply the same standard of fingering wagging to blacks when they utter racial obscenities, as members of the press do when whites make offensive remarks.

Black syndicated radio host Tom Joyner of the popular Tom Joyner Morning Show thinks Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan is a modern day slave owner. Yes, you heard me correctly. During Joyner’s broadcast on Monday morning, Joyner expressed displeasure at Shanahan for keeping Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III in Sunday’s playoff game against the Seahawks even though the star player seemed hobbled by an injured knee.

Let’s be crystal clear. What Joyner is saying is Shanahan looks at Robert Griffin III (also referred to as RG3) as nothing more than a piece of “black property” he owns and is willing to quite literally “play to his death.”

All I could think about when I heard the audio of Joyner’s comments is how incensed the media would be if an equally popular radio host such as Rush Limbaugh said something like “Wow, Robert Griffin III acted like Django the way he tore up that field.” I can assure you the mainstream press would have howled for an apology from Limbaugh, demanded advertisers pull their support from his show and so on.

Seems to me we, including the media, should apply the same standards of decency to all Americans regardless of race. What’s good for the goose should be good for the gander.
