Nothing was racist from what the article shows, but if you go corporate or mainstream you lose the privilege to have meltdowns in public like that. Gotta be more professional than that and continuously show and provide good leadership from the front.
If anyone in rvf ever goes into politics, public radio, etc. same thing.

It will not be long before every man in the media is a castrated omega that questions nothing and is no different than one of the girls.

This incident is nothing new. Happens all the time. Idiots everywhere.
Race issues in America are still a big problem. Too much hate still existing.
I am glad he voiced his opinion........too bad he lost his job. If I was a hard working black man and incidents like this happen, I'd be soooo pissed. Just like those 5 guys backed her up, it could of easily been 5 (pick your ethnic group here) guys doing the same in another situation. These incidents are painting a negative stereotype of black people.

Can he press her for assault charges too? Although I have a feeling nothing would come of it.

Although I don't think he said anything wrong here, I don't see why he had to go and actively blab about it on Twitter. It's not like this was some video a bystander took and posted it, if he hadn't gone on Twitter nobody would have known about it. Only bad things can come from that, and he should have known better. Obviously that does not warrant losing his job in the slightest, but there's something to be said for prudence if you know you're walking through a minefield.
Male, White, Christian, Rich, Straight. These days, the more of those boxes you tick, the less recourse you have if you're in a dodgy situation, regardless of the circumstances. That's the way it is, unsustainable as it is. Until the tides reverse, the only solution is to stay out of the muck as best as you can. If you get into it, keep it as quiet as best as you can, wait for it to dry and then brush it off.

Why bother pressing charges? She and their enemies got what they wanted and doing more makes her more of a victim. He needs to learn his lesson and keep it moving. Those guys will be okay, they have a large fan base.

Well said. Like Jim Rome says, Twitter is a loaded gun. No one should tweet angry.

My takeaway from this story is that people are more offended when you call a woman a "cunt" than by women who act like cunts.

Another issue. When he was posting his comments on her and Black people. He was proud. But when you get called on it. You claim you wasn't being racist and it's freedom of speech?
That seems cowardly. I would respect him more if he stood behind his comments and not the Flag.

I would entertain the idea that he was a desperate pervert stalking women if not were for the fact that he is rich, famous and is known to tap to tier pussy on a regular basis.

Lets assume he was purposely taking a picture of her (in a public area). She subsequently gets upset and punches him in the face.
Only one person has broken the law. Can you guess who?

SiriusXM is a sinking ship, and these guys have been on the verge of jumping ship and abandoning their contract in favor of podcasting for years now. Clearly this will be the final straw.

I think a lot of big corporations are forgetting that motivated employees are what make them successful. if I ever end up running a big corporation, I will keep my employees motivated by always letting them know that I won't fire them for non-work-related issues unless they do something that's either illegal or universally condemned as unethical.
No wonder people are so depressed. Thy give up their lives for corporations and they don't even get protected from crazies on the internet?
In today's day and age, you are alone and are usually without a tribe. Either build up your own tribe or behave without regard to conscience.

Actually, if you are CEO and an employee of yours risk damaging your business or its brand, you fucking fire them whether they are right or wrong. You don't take any dumb risks when you are protecting a billion dollar business. That is the CEO mindset. Fuck tribes, you look out for yourself and your $$.
