If the guest doesn't appeal to me, I change the channel.
Was his comment racist? I don't think so mainly because I have listened to him over the past months and believe he was being sarcastic...he has gone out of his way to discuss stereotyping from both minority and white perspectives.
That is my opinion....others may have a different take but I frankly don't care. What scares me more than anything is the rush to accuse someone who, while it may have not come off as intended, was exercising a fundamental right.

I agree. I often woke up early (3:00 a.m.!)and watched him when he was part of my cable package.
He and his young wife both have good hearts; they run their kids with cancer ranch (ALL color of kids!) and his wife focuses on a lot of worthwhile charity causes.
He's a bright guy who's crotchety/cranky/outspokenness is his shtik, sometimes funny, sometimes, well... change the channel or go back to sleep.
I happened to be watching when he came out with his "knappy headed ho" comment and remember thinking, uh, oh, you may have really stepped in it this time I-man!
Too bad he was railroaded like he was. There are others who deserved it much more than he did.
