Justin Timberlake’s Racist Joke Cut From ESPYs?

sportsbybrooks.com - Justin Timberlake “was teasing Paul Pierce about his “injured” knee in Game 1 of the NBA Finals during his opening monologue. In describing how quickly Pierce came back after being taken off on a wheelchair, Timberlake joked that Pierce was quickly back on the court, ’shucking and jiving.’ The comment, which was cut out of the broadcast that aired Sunday night, was met with silence from the crowd when the show taped on Wednesday before Timberlake transitioned into his next joke.”

  Although I don't think he meant it that way, I'd agree that he's gotten really comfortable.

  I can't stand Justin and he's real comfortable since every black artist has used him on his/her album. Someone needs to pull him aside.

  Look, I am a black man, and I know how ignorant and racist the world still is,and that includes the media!! But as a black man, I know I can't start screamin racism, everytime the slightest comment is made!! I won't go into the whole african american Vs. african americanthing, because that to I feel is poop!! But we can laugh and make jokes about all other races, and even make racist joke about ourselves!! Why are we so sensitive about everything!! We need to pick and choose our battles, this is not a battle!!
