Thomas now claims that in the full deposition - which has never been furnished to reporters - he explained his feelings that it is more offensive for a white man to call a black woman "bitch" because of the racial overtones.

Just curious, what kind of defense or explanation is this?

What are the racial implications of a white man calling a black woman a bitch?

If a hostile black woman calls me a name, lets say, c0cksucker, should I be racially offended?

I don't see the point of this "explanation".

good to see at least some other public figures are voicing their outrage over this... maybe if enough people & sponsors raise their voices, MSG will finally replace this management w/people that actually know how to run a winning franchise w/o acting like complete buffoons
