Alec Baldwin's Racist Rant Against Black Photographer

 Alec Baldwin of 30 Rock goes Ballistic with Racist Comments

It appears as though Alec Baldwin is taking the same route as another outlandish,  once famous actor known as Mel Gibson. We already know about the disturbance Alec Baldwin  created on an airline when asked to turn off his electronic equipment. As far as Alec Baldwin  is concerned, he was  right and the airline staff was wrong. When Paparazzi staked out his residence, the 30 Rock actor let loose a string of racist slurs against an African American ex NYPD officer who as the photographer, calling him, among other choice words, “coon” crackhead” and telling him where to "kiss".

To add insult to injury Alec Baldwin has filed a complaint against the black reporter claiming he was assaulted - the reporter says he was the one who was assaulted. Now, tell me, who do you believe? Just prior to this incident, Alec Baldwin reportedly grabbed  a female New York  Post reporter and threatened to choke her. and we all remember the nasty names he called his own young daughter several years ago.

Of course, Alec is denying racist comments but twitter doesn’t lie. Alec was smart enough to place more racial insults against the Black photographer on his Twitter account by saying that he could not be a an ex NYPD because he is and "ex jailhouse crackhead". was he suggesting that  all blacks  become ex jailhouse crackheads? On the other hand, Alex thanked the “Non-Ex Jailjouse/crackheads" who came to his home to take his statement. Want to guess what color their skins were?

The maligned reporter  was there to ask Alex Baldwin  about a lawsuit against his wife Hilaria Thomas, a yoga teacher who is being sued by a student.

FHM Magazine Racist Cover - Why I will never buy this magazine

You would think that in the 21st century, overt racicism would be all but a memory. Yet we see time and again, supposedly intelligent, well read and experienced people still making foolish decisions that harken back to an age that one would rather forget.

So it happens again with the cover of FHM men's magazine which portrays a beautiful white model, "coming out of the shadows" What shadows you ask? Black women! Yes, these are beautiful black models who are used to represent shadows. Interestingly, it is on the cover of the FHM Fillipines which is a country with an ethnic population. Perhaps they thought that no one would notice or care. They were wrong. The issue caused such an uproar that it was pulled and will be reissued with a different cover. But the damage as already been done and I will not be buying this magazine again.
