    Personally, I'm not in the habit of assuming people I don't know are closeted racists without very strong evidence for it. ATW should know this.

    That's uncalled for.

    But anyways, unless you have some other ideas about racism, since when words derogatory towards a race are just ... words not actions that can be called racism. Just curious what those actions you were referring to. You are confused to say the least.

    Yeah, that assumption is pretty risky, isn't it. We just have to be so sensitive to someone that spoke a racial slur. Oh, but wait, that's just slip of the tongue, he must not have meant it, he must be a good person otherwise, you don't know what you are talking about ... Confusion. Utter confusion to say the least.

    What exactly do we know about Reddick ?
    His "word" is his word.

    This incident could very well be completely out of JJ's character.

    I just think assuming the worst isn't far-fetched.
