Buck Burnette as a leader of the Longhorns and his horrific quote is proof of the intelligence and maturity level of a University of Texas football player or fan. I knew not to use the "N" word as a 5-year old. In addition to getting booted off the team, he should have been booted out of school. What is he doing there anyway? Give him a banjo and rocking chair, so he can lead his UT in playing their new school fight song, "Dueling Banjos"…

Indeed I am not a DUMMY.I was wise enough to vote and smart enough to make the right vote."I think there is virtue to the point that the american democratic/political system works best when it is working of, by, and for the people OF AMERICA, as opposed to subdivided groups."I agree, and I think the new President will do a far better job than his redneck predecessor who I think it's fair to say did a lot of work for subdivided groups. http://www.hermes-press.com/BushSaud.htmhttp://www.hermes-press.com/BushSaud.htm />In effect, it seems to me that you're saying Americans, whatever their birthplace, should be free to be proud of their origins, as long as they do it quietly at home and it doesn't interfere in any way with the hard-working, God-fearing American Way.I don't agree with that, but I also don't agree with the blatant segregation of minorities in cities. Put all the black families in one neighbourhood, all the Mexicans in another – that doesn't sound like like there's a place for everyone at the American table at all. It sounds more like making all the ethnically-different sit at the kiddies table.I personally don't believe in religion, but I belive in other peoples freedom to do so and would never dream of calling someone un-American because the colour of their skin or chosen religion wasn't that of the mass majority.I agree with you that we should all support the same cause for the betterment of our country but it should never be at the expense that anyone should be to feel ashamed of their roots.

Hitler? He said that it isn't good for American politics to vote as a "[foreign]-american" (taking into account [foreign] constituencies and interests), as opposed to voting simply as an "american" (taking into account what is best for the american nation, period). Now, I'm not saying he was right, or wrong, or that people shouldn't take pride in where they come from; however, I think there is virtue to the point that the american democratic/political system works best when it is working of, by, and for the people OF AMERICA, as opposed to subdivided groups. They is a place for everyone at the american table, but we should all be at ONE table, as opposed to a whole bunch of different, uniformly catergozied, homogenous tables trying to co-exist in the same room.Dummy.

^^^ WHAT A LOAD OF SH*T ^^^"Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul." -So is terrorism you f*ckwit."Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance." -Surely it's thoughts along these lines that inspired folk like Hitler? That shit may have passed 93 years ago, and even then it was directed at German – However bad you think German-Americans, Irish-Americans, or African-Americans are, there's nothing on this Earth that is worse than a 'good ole' American-American.

"There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts "native" before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else. The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic. The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American. There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else. For an American citizen to vote as a German-American, an Irish-American, or an English-American, is to be a traitor to American institutions; and those hyphenated Americans who terrorize American politicians by threats of the foreign vote are engaged in treason to the American Republic."

African American…?How many generations of your family were born in America?It's my belief that most African Americans are simply just Americans.How can you expect the world to see each other as equals when we all go out of our way to single our selves out as different?

being a genuine 'nice guy' doesn't stop someone from (openly or not) disliking someone because of their race, creed or colour. People who STILL feel like that in this day and age are worthless idiots. Worse even, than those who kill in the name of whatever religion. Case in point: if the people who feel sore about having a black president bothered to be a little less worthless and get off their hate-filled asses to vote, they wouldn't be trolling the web complaining that their president is black. Worthless idiots. The only thing that bothers me about the man is the fact that every time I heard about him on the news the first few sentences invariably included the phrase "first black president" – personally I'm more concerned that he's capable of doing the job, and deserves the position on that merit alone – the colour of his skin should be the last thing on peoples minds. Not some misguided feelings of Positive Discrimination.I wish him luck.

..all the hunters gather up, Bon Jovi are recording new material…The Freedom of Speech 'excuse' doesn't really pull any weight in this day and age. I think it's my right to believe in whatever I choose, and to stand and defend my beliefs and make my voice heard – but Freedom of Speech does not apply when it is to the detriment of others. (detriment~ something that causes damage, depreciation or loss -for all you small town rednecks) – did you see what I did there?

He can say whatever he wants. He don't have to appologize to anyone. If the blacks can use the word, anyone can. If we're all "equal" then what's the big deal? The problem with them and all the other "minorities" is they have no interest in being equal, they want to be superior. Neither I, nor you owe anyone anything; no applogies, no reperations, nothing. The infectious disease that is Liberalism has emasculated us as a collective society. I won't be the first one I'm sure, but let me go on the record as saying, Richard from Pasadena said all you pinko-communists can kiss my lilly white butt. This is one White Christian that will die for what he believes in.

I recently heard about these comments from my 14 year old daughter today who learned of it from her teacher. Amazing. Listen, many of us are truly on the right track. Who Obama is as a man and not his ethnic origin or race is the only relevance to what he will do for this country. Whatever philosophy this young man Buck subscribes to, quite frankly is of no consequence to anyone else but Buck. If we spent half of our time paying attention to our own thoughts and actions and the other part of the time leaving everyone else's thoughts and actions alone. :CAVEAT unless actions are lawless. We would ultimately find that the small #^%$ does not even matter. I personally wish Buck well. I am glad he was honest, at least I now know him to be himself and true to his own belief system and convictions, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It is those who hide behind pretenses, and fake smiles that are much more dangerous to the human race than Buck. Now here is the real surprise, I am a Black Woman with Black sons, who will grow to be Black men, and I am sure they will experience the word N#$%@ at some point in thier respective lives, Of Course, but do I teach them to be defensive , NO! They have learned at an early age it is not what you are called it is what you answer to that counts.. Good Luck ALL.

For everyone supporting Buck's freedom of speech rights, please remember that no one has the right to threaten violence against another individual. He crossed the line in some many ways. And, his extremely poor judgement should bear repercussions. I am sure that Buck is happy that he was dismissed from the team. If he is as nice and Christian as you all say, then obviously he knows he must repent for his actions

honestly people need to just get over it. people act like they've spent their whole life as an angel and not done anything wrong.so it was immature, so what. we all have our immature moments. what is sad is that the media, etc. won't let shit like this go. our world is this f*cked up and people are going to get all riled up over one racist comment? how about realizing when you say shit about someone else you're just as horrible. so many people on their high pedestal. he apologized, whether sincere or not, get over it.

I agree. If a black person did it, he wouldn't get in trouble. And whomever said blacks get in trouble for things they say more than whites, where in the hell have you been? What about Don Imus? And what happened to Naomi Campbell when she called white police officers "f***ing white honkeys"? Absolutely nothing.
