Why the NY Post would think it is okay to publish an article as racist as this is extremely baffling. Why an individual would be so ignorantly racist against a man who's done so many positive things, aside from making music, is also extremely baffling.
The New York Post columnist Phil Mushnick ripped into Jay-Z, who is the partial owner of the soon to be Brooklyn Nets. Mushnick criticized Jay heavily for his decision to make the Brooklyn Nets logo solid black and white colors. He also criticized Jay for naming them the Brooklyn Nets, and Mushnick proceeded to recommend his own suggestions for a team name. The names he suggested are so offensive that you honestly have to read them for yourself to believe that he actually wrote this.
Check this out, this guy has some nerve.
"As long as the Nets are allowing Jay-Z to call their marketing shots — what a shock that he chose black and white as the new team colors to stress, as the Nets explained, their new "urban" home — why not have him apply the full Jay-Z treatment?
"Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York N-----s? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn B----hes or H*es. Team logo? A 9 mm with hollow-tip shell casings strewn beneath. Wanna be Jay-Z hip? Then go all the way!"
It's absolutely ridiculous that he was allowed to publish this insane rant. It's funny that Ashton Kutcher's "Popchips" website ad has been getting so much heat for portraying the Indian character "Raj" in a tasteless way, meanwhile this guy is allowed to blatantly disrespect Jay-Z in one of the most racist articles written by the NY Post in a long time.
