Today's "N" Word Debate
The following is a comment that was made about my 8 year old boy after today's debate about using the "N" Word in a historical perspective in school and the comments made by me and other listeners in response. It should be noted that he included another comment that was so filled with foul language and filth that I was forced to delete it but I offered to repost it if he would just remove those words. Now you be the judge.

The little prick looks like he's going to grow up to be a fag like his racist daddy! These comments are just words going through your eyes, so they should not bother you. Right?

You got it! Why would I let anyone control my emotions with words that are not true and hold no meaning? So bring it on! My friend! Bring it on!

If you would like to repost your comment without the swear words I will allow it to stand. Otherwise it will be deleted again.

What swear words? Words were only words, remember? Why would my words offend anybody. They are just words!

Now you're being silly! I have to follow certain rules as regulated by the company which employs me or I would leave your comments alone. Nothing more and nothing less.

Sorry to see a coward named "Anonymous" decided to attack your son instead of commenting on your opinion. Make you wonder who became the _ _ _ _ _ and how that person was raised to feel it is ok to speak of someone's child in such a way. It is sad and speaks of this persons ability to communicate in a mature manner. By the way, that is an awesome catch, how many lbs. was that sucker?? :) I do agree with your opinion and remember going through things like your callers have described, only difference is I am Mexican American.

Thank you so much rsancdal. We didn't weigh it but it was a whopper. We had no idea that there was anything that big in such a little pond.

From my Wife!I want to flip off that coward who had the intellect of an ant. Who can’t hold a respectful debate with Jay so you have to resort to child-like name calling. Just because you don’t have the courage to call in and face my husband who has more respect for you than you could ever understand. How sad and pathetic. A debate is about two people sharing their ideas not taunting and using an innocent sweet child by putting him in the same gutter that you seem to be comfortable in. Leave my boy alone. I hope that one day you can be half as amazing as that sweet boy. Flip-off

Hey anonymous. You sure are brave behind the 'anonymous' label. How about coming out from under your rock and face people like a man (or a woman as the case may be). You have big words when no one knows who you are. You just THINK you are big and brave. If you really were, you would give your real name or call Jay and debate with him man to man. You want to prove something---show yourself! And by the way, pick on someone your own size and let some innocent little child alone. What did he ever do to you? NOTHING! YOU COWARD PUNK!

I would like to thank all of you for helping me poke holes into Jays argument that words are just words and that the "n" word should not offend anybody. Easy for him to say, considering that he is not BLACK. I am not black, but my friend is and he did call in and Jay spoke over him the whole time, not letting him talk and even went as far as to put him on hold so that Jay could be heard. You call that a debate? Don't be ridiculous! He sounded more like a little girl quarreling. This medium levels the playing field and allows me to take away the control that he has when he is on the radio hanging up on people and putting them on hold.I do take back the remarks about the child. I made those remarks to put his claim to the test: "Words don't bother me!"This will be my last post so I will not give you the pleasure of a rebuttal. I will not even visit this site again.For those of you who want to test my courage, you can find me at the following address three evenings a week. I am there from 6 until 9:00 PM. Ask for Marcus9456 N. MacArthur Blvd.Irving, TX 75063

If you’re point was to show that you are the racist that you’re accusing me of being then you made it very well. If you would like to prove that I’m a racist please refer me to the comment or action in my life or on the show that backs up your point. And to your friend that called in, he employed a typical tactic that people use when they want to be heard but do not want to debate the issue at hand. He went from point to point to point without taking a breath to allow me to respond to any of them. That’s not a debate, it’s a bully tactic. I put him on hold because a debate is making a point and then letting the other side respond to that point. He refused to do so. You will take note that I put him on hold, responded to his comment and then amazingly allowed him to respond. I could have hung up on him right there, but somehow I refrained. That’s how debates work. I can provide the audio of this call if you would like so you can take some notes. You will notice that I never degraded him or spoke about members of his family. I left those tactics in elementary school where they belong.What’s so funny is that you think you proved something other than my point. Yes you made an inflammatory statement and yes it upset people. But my point was never that this isn’t the case. Words hurt people all the time and certainly the “N” word is one of the most painful words that could ever be spoken. My point was that we can make a choice as to whether things offend us or not and that life is much better for everyone when we make that personal choice. Instead of responding to this statement you called me a racist and went after my child. Did that anger me? Not at all, because I made the choice a long time ago that vibrations from another mans face only have power if I allow them to. Did your words bother other people including my wife? Yes! In fact she called me in tears because of your statements. Do you think I told her anything different than what I said on the air? Do you think I berated you in order to make her feel better? Wrong! I told her that these words have no value and I sought to train her as I seek to train you. And this is racist how? So the only thing you have proven is that we can choose and do so all the time.You can go on being filled with hate and attacking those that look at life differently than you but trust me when I say it’s no way to live. If you choose to be like a leaf in the wind blown to and fro by the words and actions of others then you will never be where you want to be and never feel the way you want to feel. This is a truth in life that has nothing to do with race, religion, or background. However, if you feel the need to call names and berate people I will gladly provide that service for you. Feel free to continue the tirade if you must.
