My major point though was that's in his personal life I don't think it should have any bearing on his professional career.
Besides, I haven't met a single person in my life who has never used a racial slur to my knowledge, be i tout of anger or in jokes or whatever. So this guy should be punished for something everyone does ?

in addition to his long rant about not having his kids black girlfriend come around because they all use the word "n1gger" too much... he also said something on the tape like "i'm not going to let you date a ni|gger and if you are, you're going to have to find a different job" so its not a life lesson or personal opinion.... not to mention the fact that its highly illegal and most likely the kids phone is ringing off the hook with high profile labor attorneys offering to sue on contingency.
of course his private life has a bearing on his professional life. that is true of everyone. when you put yourself out there as being a standup guy, full of love and god, preach non-stop that you are doing gods work and doing a good thing... then get caught telling your kid "youre not going to date a n|gger" - then people stop buying into the entire premise of the show and his character... and they should.
like i have said before. i believe that its not the word "n1gger" that freaks people out. i think that deep down its just the "train wreck factor" that peaks peoples interest. we want to see people fuck up. we want to see people fail. we want to see people get hurt and there couldn't have been more than 5 people on the planet who didnt see this white trash moron and think "wow.... something is really wrong here" - and they like seeing that inner sense confirmed.
