This ugly trial that has carried around in the NY Knicks organization is starting to get ugly. It may lead to the dismissal of Isiah as coach and general manager. Whether or not he sexually harrassed Ms. Sanders has to be determined by a jury. He is guilty of endorsing the kind of Neanderthal thinking that is unsuitable for someone occupying his high-profile positions.
Thomas should lose his jobs as president and head coach if for nothing more than saying it's less offensive for a black man to call a black woman a bitch than it is if a white male uttered the same vulgarity. That lack of social sensibility was displayed during Thomas' videotaped deposition played last week in a federal courtroom.

I think Isiah Thomas, of the New York Knicks is a disgrace. He really crossed a thick line and I am shocked at his stupidity. I agree that he should lose his job because this is of the length to which Don Imus reached out. There was a HUGE outcry from the African American community for Imus to lose his job after his comments about the Rutgers womens basketball team. Well Isiah calling a female a bitch, no matter what skin color you are, is just as bad and should ban him from his job as well. Its only fair, ESPECIALLY if the jury finds him guilty of sexual harrassment.

"Maybe Thomas has an explanation for his thinking. Because it was on videotape he can't say he was misquoted. Hopefully, he won't say it's a cultural thing, which seems to be the excuse these days when someone is caught doing something stupid. It's not cultural. It's not acceptable. It's wrong.

If anything, it should be even more offensive when a black male slurs a black woman. Black men should be more appreciative and grateful for the role black women have played throughout history, nurturing and protecting their families often in difficult circumstances. They should be respected and cherished, especially by black men."

This is a quote from an African American writer of the New York Post, George Willis. Glad to see that even some people within that community are outraged.
