N.Y. N-----s or B.K. B-----s?

 
This was printed in the New York Post.  Phil Mushnick (an old white man) decided that, in order to get his point across, he would write this.  I don't hate white people but I hate the system that allows things like this to be printed in the news.  I'm not saying he shouldn't have freedom of speech but no major news outlet should print that because they should be fearful of the perception that they support the use of this language.  This guy might not be racist.  He might have a black friend he can call on to say "Yeah, Phil is a great guy!"  But the issue is, he was inconsiderate in writing this and the New York Post was equally inconsiderate first in posting it and second in not reprimanding him for having the audacity to even submit an article with such offensive language that HE selected.  May I reiterate that this was not him quoting Jay-Z directly.  Phil Mushnick decided to write this.
