Anthony Cumia of the Opie and Anthony show on SiriusXM was fired this morning for racist remarks made on his Twitter account.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...de-punched-face-black-woman-Times-Square.html

TL;DR

Cumia was taking photos of Times Square. Woman happened to be in one of the pictures. She wasn't happy about it and assaulted Cumia and called him a "white mother****er". Cumia retaliated on Twitter by insulting her. SirusXM fired Cumia.

:pop:

First,
There was not a whole lot of racial things said so once again the media pushes their agenda.

2nd,
No need for this in SD.

Yeah, not seeing the racial remarks. **** is pretty strong but it sounds like she deserved it. I like how she was the one using racial slurs yet it all falls on him and not one mention of how she was actually being an assaultive racist ****

Definitely said some nasty stuff, and I definitely see how a few things he said can be called racist...but at the end of the day, she made 'racist' remarks while physically assaulting him for no apparent reason, and he's the bad guy?

There is a method to the madness.

Just get a copy of "Race Baiting For Fun And Profit" by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. It will give you the inside story on how to make millions by getting the press to jump at phantoms.

its what we've come to in todays society smh, not the first time Opie and/or Anthony have been axed, years ago they did a skit where I believe a couple had sex in a church or some other nonsense and they were fired then ended up on satellite radio, but this as said, is nonsense, was only to prevent an out cry from the black community

Iirc most people listen to their podcast anyways. Expect them to pull out of sat radio and stick to the podcast medium. The only truly unregulated medium left.

Social media websites can be like a spider web. And our politically correct society now sets the "standards" of what is right or wrong. Very often fueled by the media. What is wrong for one can be "forgivable" or permitted for someone else. Messed up world we live in.

Impressive, not only did the lady use race, but she used her sex to basically state "do whatever you want, nothings gonna happen to me I'm female!"

As someone who has listened to the O&A show for a long time this is nothing new. He says stuff like this all the time.

Pretty much, btls was complaining about contract negotiations saying podcast paid more but wasn't as well respected. I used to enjoy btls until he went pro Obama, and it seems like he has fizzled out hardcore since then.
