What I heard on the radio today


While driving to work I generally listen to Adam Corolla's radio show. Today he had as a guest the guy who hosts the television show "Pros vs. Joes". He's some former USC tailback who played with Carson Palmer and a few other guys who are now known professional NFLers. He was proud to mention he was a member of one of the worse USC teams in the history of USC....

So anyway, he's talking about something and then says the phrase "whiter than the face of god".

Its 2006 and STILL no matter who you are, you know your distance from 'godliness' is your distance from pure white.

The subtleties of racism are amazing.

I wonder where dude was from? that's sounds like some ol' "down south" shit.. I never heard that mess before.. "whiter than the face of God".. WTF!!! Are you SURE he said that??? I mean that's kind of weird. And if true..some of us have taken racism to a whole new level, cause that shit is WACK.

That was EXACTLY what he said, and then, just to really make it more interesting, Corolla declared Bruce Smith (NFL Defensive super sacker) to be the blackest man on the face of the earth.

Then they thought about it, and declared that he was the blackest man on the face of the earth that they could get on the show cuz Deacon Jones is too old to be tackling people on TV.

Its fun driving to work.
