Rap mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs has blasted the media scrutiny about Janet Jackson's breast-baring shocker at the Super Bowl for being "borderline racist."
Diddy feels sure America wouldn't be making such a fuss about Jackson's error of judgment during the Super Bowl halftime show if she were white.
He says, "The reaction was borderline racist in the sense that we have seen other acts shock on television that did not get three days of magazine covers."
Diddy, who also performed at the Super Bowl halftime show, reveals he wishes he knew about Janet's shocker beforehand -- because he'd have beaten her to controversy.
He adds, "I would have pre-empted her and pulled something out on the world and gave you all a shock that you would still be explaining to your children, so you're lucky. And I wouldn't apologize for s--."

OK, so sorry in advance to all the black people, but why do you always pull the race card out when someone acusses you of something. Mainly I remember it being used by Michael Jackson, so I guess it is no surprise that the race issue has been brought up by his sister.
Don't you, as black poeple, want other black poeple to stop trying to make everything about race? This is about a nipple - why make it about race? MJ's charges are about child molestation why make it about race? MJ being dropped from Sony was about his sales not being good - why make it about race? I am sure Bobby Brown has tried the race card on his drug charges too.
I just hear it so much and it seems to be black poeple who keep saying it.
If ANY woman had done this... doesn't matter WHAT performer, this would have blown out of proportions. But, let them throw the 'race card' out again. Nothing new. If it's a controversial news issue, and the person is black, they will always say that. Can't it just be a matter than people felt it was uncalled for?
And, if I'm not mistaken, Justin is white. He's getting massive flack too!!

I wouldn't have been as shocked if Madonna had done that... but I would STILL find it totally unnecessary. There is a difference between being shocked (because you wouldn't expect something like that) and being incensed (because it was uncalled for, inappropriate, and completely unnecessary). The Racism Card is getting REALLY old. And I lose any respect for people who use it at times like this. Puffy is one whacked dude who thinks that if you're black and you do anything to get in trouble, that it's just another incident of the white man trying to keep 'the man' down. Get real... and get a life!!!!
And even though we've already got this thread down in the Flamers Ward...
to Sean "Puffy, P Diddy" Combs, I say this: Shut the Hell Up!!!!

This whole crying wolf with the race card thing is getting really old! There would have been just as much of a reaction if Madonna had pulled the stunt off. The only difference is that Madonna probably wouldn't have apologized for it.
The fact that people are screaming "racism" when a black celebrity gets flack for either doing something stupid or facing criminal charges, takes away from the attention of REAL racism incidents. Like the school in Georgia where an early morning drug raid produced no drugs but traumatizing good students. Or the 18 year old who's serving a ridiculously long time in prison for having consensual sex with a 16 year old white girl. (He wouldn't serve time if he were white.) Those are REAL cases of racism. When a black celebrity's indescretions are in the limelight, they use the racism claim to excuse their actions.
I don't listen to P.Diddy anyway. He capitalized on Biggie's death and made a fortune from his shed blood. IMO he's earned no respect.

chelktty said this in post #7 : This whole crying wolf with the race card thing is getting really old!
I KNOW!!!!
As soon as I saw that article I about fell over....All I could think was...NOT again!!!! This gets so old...and not only that but it deteriorates the true claims of those who really do have to deal with racism....
Enough is enough with the race card already....why cant some people just take some reponsibility for their own actions without using another "source" to blame it on!
This is so tiring already!!!!!
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)

Race Card,
“Black women coerces white boy into sex act.” White people should revolt.
Justin should sue her for lost income should he see a decline in record sales.
Apparently he lost his ghetto pass for not fessing up.
Just kidding.

It would have been as big a deal had it been anyone. I remember a big deal when KJ's heroine "Xena" popped out a tit at a sporting event, I think singing the national anthem or something. Hell, they made a big deal about Madonna, Britney and Aguilera kissing, and you think everyone would have laughed and dismissed it all as "oh those girls are just so silly!" had one or ALL of them flashed the cameras? Okay, whatever dude!
Frankly what pisses me off is that all too often "racism" is blamed for otherwise normal human behavior, however pathetic that behavior may be. Furthermore, you have to be downright STUPID to think that 95% of the nation has galvanized into a singular "racist" body that just doesn't want to tolerate you anymore. What is there some secret handshake that I missed out on? Give us all a break.
You're kidding right? It's not because she's black, it's because it was a stupid stunt. Britney Spears and Marilyn Manson would have gotten the same flack for that kind of crap, so don't even try to play the race card. It's purely
