: MediaTakeOut.com just received this report from one of our faithful readers:
I was listening to a local Tampa sports radio station this morning and they have a mixed hosting crew...Ron Diaz and Ian Beckles (former Tampa Bay Bucs player). There was an old-timers or sports hall of fame event that they hosted honoring an old time player from the Negro Leagues."Mud Cat" Grant who was a great Negro League player was telling a story about how it was to be a baseball player in the old Jim Crow days and apparently, your boy Zachary Ty Bryan form Home Improvement was there and he was liquored up.
He stood up in the middle of the man's speech and yells out that he "doesn't want to hear any of that N*gger stuff". He was subdued by security and escorted out but he almost caught a beat down. SO far there has been no comment from Bryan's camp or publicist.
EDITOR'S UPDATE - Mudcat Grant called in the radio station yesterday to clear thing sup. According to Mudcat, Zachary Ty Bryan never actually used the 'N Word."
He was in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. His part in that movie was like 3 minutes long. If you are in a movie with Bow Wow and you don't have more screen time than Bow Wow, you suck and the movie sucks.
This clown is a nobody, just another racist príck!!
------------------------------------ No baby momma drama, ***ígga miss me, why plant seeds in a dirty bítch, waitin to trick me, not the life for me
IGNORANCE AT ITS FINEST!!!!! he is like corey haim, tryna make a come back, no wait corey is better!!!! man he let bow wow get more screen time then him, he truly sucks!!! How would he feel if a few hundred black people went to NASCAR (the most red necked sport on American soil) and started yelling racial epithets!!!! it would be all over the news!!!
Problems, problems, problems.....Alcohol is a hell of a drug......And if he doen't want to hear that "*** stuff", I'm sure he's never read MTO. "*** stuff" doesn't discriminate, besides just standing up in the middle of an appreciation dinner and screaming those words is definately some *** ***. Zachary Ty Bryan is a ***. He needs counseling.
THIS IS ***!!! BILLY BOB (LOL) YOUR 100 PERCENT CORRECT.I DONT CARE FOR THE WORD, HOWEVER IT IS IMBEDDED IN MY VOCABULARY AND VERY HARD TO ERASE. YOU MUST NOT THINK TOO HIGHLY OF THE WHITE RACE IF YOU THINK THEY ARE IGNORANT ENOUGH TO REITERATE ANYTHING THAT THEY HEAR, KNOWING ITS WRONG. ITS DISGUSTING THAT SOMEONE WOULD DEFEND THIS *** AFTER HE WAS WAS BLATANTLY DISRESPECTFUL TO THIS MAN. AND FOR THE RECORD [EXPLETIVE] ISNT A RACIST TERM ITS AN OCCUPATIONAL TERM. WHATS WRONG WITH SAYING WHITE BOY? F*UCK YOU ZACHARY YOU WERE A CHILD STAR NOBODY GIVES A SH!T ABOUT WHAT YOU DO OR SAY NOW... EXCEPT FOR MTO OFCOURSE...
Doesn't surprise me at all. I'm sure we're called a whole lot worst behind close doors. I just wish that black people as a whole could drum up the same type of emotion that the word *** sparks and use it to build our self-esteem and help ourselves in other aspects of life and stop allowing the opinions of others to validate us.
So what??? Black people say derogatory things about white people all the time, both sober and "liquored up". It's a fact of life. What's ridiculous is that MTO thought it was worth posting. What's ridiculous is that everyone will get all fired up over what some has been has to say. Go ahead, give him 15 more minutes of fame by making this a big deal. Or show him how inconsequential he is and ignore him.
After watching dat Black Magic joint last *** on ESPN it just reminded me of so much of the struggles or people have went through to give us this freedom that we got, and it kind of reminded me of all the sh*t that our people did to get us this far! We should take these type of negatives and be greatfull, and use it to procede to be greater and prove that we are equal, and dominant when it comes to life nah mean. Lets do it my people, we are equal, and different in every way! 4real! Whether it be in politics, sports, looks, religion, music, acting, if we keep doing what we do, it'll show. Look at the rappers, dem *** making movies and they got madd charges, and all dat Sh*t! They gone come at us, we just got to stay focused and keep eatin! Let it ride, they just mad yaul! Holla.
Good thing he's a looser with no career or this ma have really did him in. I am tiered of peopl in the industry mouthing their ignorance off for the world to see. Security should have let him catch that beat down teach his behind a lesson. How dare him dissrespect Grant like that. And where does he get off being a racist as young as he is, makes his peers look a littel suspect!
LOL! don't you guys think it's funny how white people made all these funny names to describe a race? LMAO! the funniest thing is, now they can't say them because of racism..LOL! way to go white folks! Then they wanna ask us, "why do we call each other ***? [***, whatever]..!!!because we know you can't say it like we can..thats a device that i'm glad that we have. I would like to thank the racist white people from back in the day for giving us a word they can't use...i mean, we should be even now...out of all the stuff white people have taken from us! thanks though.
So typical, a white guy says the "***" word and what do black people respond with? Violence and name calling. If black people got even half as hyped up about the black on black violence, or all the illegitimate young black children living on welfare with no daddy around, or the young black men with graduation rates of less than 20% you might be able to get somewhere in this lifetime. The "***" word is just that, A WORD. Alone by itself, it has no power. These "breaking" headlines that another white guy said it, causing everyone to be so hateful is where the power comes from. If black people would brush it off, and not make it the top headline of the page, it would start to lose its "power". I live near Detroit, I watch the news everyday, I can guarantee you that some z-list actor saying the *** word is the LEAST of your problems. Hate, Argue, and call names all you want, but its the truth. Until education and careers are your number one priority, this wont ever go away. White people do not hold black people down anymore, this is not the 1940's, if name calling is enough to keep you from getting a job or being successful in life then thats a serious issue. Make a change or Deal with it.
LMAO @ "YELLOW BERRY", BUT SERIOUSLY, I AINT SURPRISED AT ALL, WHITE PPL CLAIM THEY COLOR BLIND THEY AINT GOT NOTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT US BUT U SEE WHEN IT COME DOWN TO IT THEY CALL U A N*GGA IN A SECOND...HE *** BE SO ANGRY, HE GETTIN ROYALTIES FROM HOME IMPROVEMENT, IT COME ON NICK @ NITE LOL
@billyboob9 Addressing your tepid attempt at being witty:
1.How could a caucasian calling a grown elderly legend a N**** be a term of endearment?
2. No one was there for a history lesson on the origins of mankind.
3. your boy was just a drunk, pasty "never was" who was jealous and bitter that the attention wasn't on him. This is very common among caucasian males that don't make it big in their own society and have sit back and watch winners like Mudcat who excelled under 10 times the adversity recieve his OVERdue.
You dumb redneck confederate get off MTO, go tune your banjo and check on that batch of white lighting boiling over in your backyard.
I usually don't condone violence......but in this case, I'm just saying that if someone had a baseball bat handy and happened to be standing nearby when this ignoramous spoke,......maybe that person should have hit a couple of home runs on the back of his pale a** head! LoL! I'm just saying, hypothetically......LoL! I wouldn't do that, but I wouldn't be mad if someone else did. Lol!
I'm so tired of this "black/white" issue? Doesn't anyone have anything else to worry about? Like taking care of their families, getting a job, anything? They say that history repeats itself and the way that we as a people are going, looks like segregation is on its way. Instead of being mad at each other, maybe we should take a look at why we're mad at ourselves.
Hey he's just keeping it real!! Black people can't get too offended when most of us use it everyday. There is not difference between the words ***.I.G.G.E.R and ***.I.G.G.A!!! So black people stop the madness. Get off our (some of us), ignorance of using that derogatory and demeaning word then and only then will we be able to get angry!!!!
**Wow**
Come come now Zach, your 14 seconds was up years ago. But it looks like you need a SWIFT KICK...
LMAO
In Cleveland Sports Mudcat Grant was a legend... I take my hat off to all of the old timers that paved the way for us today. The Cleveland Indians was onlt the second team in baseball to sign the first black ballplayers.
1) Jackie Robinson - Brooklyn Dodgers 2) Satchel Paige - Cleveland Indians 3) Larry Doby - Cleveland Indians
Peace YAll!
Sorry, I say ***.i.g.g.a., ***.e.g.r.o., and ***.i.g.g.a.z and I am an educated black female, with a very healthy income, home owner (twice over), and married to a black man at the same knowledge and income level as my own.
It doesn't make me less of a person to use these words, because I don't use them in a deragatory way. I grew up in a hood where white people used it also...because we all grew up together, in a sense we were an extended family. Call it ignorance or stupidity. I don't don't care this is me being me and that is you being you.
Society made it a bad word not me, I use it as a term of endearment...don't like it don't answer to it!!! A word is a word, the only harm it can do is how you use it. Quit letting people dictate to you what words are the right words to use in your world.
As for the comment, I won't waste too many words. Like I said, I use the term with love, not with hate. Hate spawns hate, and this seems to be what this tweeker is promoting. Let it pass or next week he will be on Oprah making an apology and telling all of white america how much he loves black people and how even has one black friend.
Well ***, [EXPLETIVE] alls I knows is they amake me so hungry. Lawd I aint eat nuffin' since lunch. IThe line at duh KFC wuz so long tuday chile I couln't stay waitin' on account uh muh sugar. So's I goes cross the street tuh duh Popeyes chicken and yaws no nuh'buddy eats that mess. Theys don't even has a dessert menu. Is eat that dry chickin' wit' they nasty water'd down fruit punch and tey dun even put sugar in it. But thatk lawdy Is walk wid muh own sugar in two dixie cups full Is put in it cuz you know drinkin that watered down juice make muh pressure go up.
@jimberland He probably said it because he really likes baseball, and he is just realizing that this too is a sport that blacks dominated. Basketball, tennis, golf, soccer (futbol), Football, and oh yeah, we even did our thing in hockey. So I feel the [EXPLETIVE], he was just hatin off the licks yal dont dominate baseball or soccer or football, or tennis, or hockey remember u said dominate yall only dominate in basketball and a little in football not the rest of the sports u mentioned and tennis 2 good players out of thousands thats not dominating and baseball the best 5 - 10 good players at best
IF YOU ASK ME ALL THE WHITE STARS AND SO-CALL STARS ARE RACIST! THEY PRETEND TO BE DOWN! YEA RIGHT!!!!! WE DONT MAKE IT NO BETTER PUTTING THE "***" WORD IN OUR MUSIC OUR ANCESTORS FAUGHT HARD FOR US AND THIS IS HOW WE REPAY THEM BY MAKING MUSIC WITH A WORD THAT WAS HELL FOR THEM! NOT ONLY THAT, SOME OF OUR PEOPLE ALLOW THEY'RE FRIENDS OF ANOTHER CREED, RACE, ORIGIN CALL THEM THE "***" WORD AND DO NOTHING OR SAY NOTHING! CHECK OUT WHAT FAT JOE SAID ABOUT THE "***" WORD, TO ME HE SAT THERE IN THAT RADIO STATION AND DIRESPECTED EVERYTHING OUR GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRANDPARENTS AND THERE GREAT, GREAT GRANDPARENTS FAUGHT FOR HE SOUNDED LIKE A BIG NASTY YELLOW FOUL MOUTH STANKIN AZZ TURD! WHY DID HE NOT TALK ABOUT TRYING TO GET A HIT RECORD FIRST, HE WILL NEVER BE AT 50 CENT LEVEL! 50 IS FINE AND HE IS JUST FAT AND NASTY!!! NOW THAT A BLACK MAN IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, WHITE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SHOWING JUST HOW THEY REALLY TRULLY FEEL ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE! AND THEY SAY IT LOUD AND PROUD!

HOW YOU GONNA WEAR A *** THAT HAS THE "***" WORD WRITTEN ON BIG AS DAY SPORTING IT LIKE ITS A TATOO! WE GOTTA WAKE!!!!!
It's the same old song over and over again. He was saying what he felt and believed. I also think that this is common language for him and most White people. Because he allegedly had ingested some liquid courage he simply shared what was on his mind. That's why I take the position of not forgiving them when they do things like this. Why give a fake azz apology for something that you meant to say?
All the fame and fortune in the world obviously doesn't help white people with their hatred of us at all. What a shame.....poor boy was so jealous they were giving honors to someone with REAL talent he got ahead of himself with the "***" word. However why be surprised? Im not and there are plenty more that say that word everyday rich and poor.
am i surprised?
NO!!!
but MEDIATAKE0UT,why post this? dont give this dude any SHINE.
most(NOT ALL)white people are racist,so this story is useless.
and alot of yall need 2 STOP with the RACIAL SLURS. it doesnt PROVE ANYTHING 2 USE IGNORANCE AGAINST IGNORANCE!!!!!!
whatever,YAWN Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.ZZ.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.ZZ..Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.Z.ZZ..Z.Z.ZZ.
...Just One Look At This blond Hair'd, Blue Eye Devil And I Believe...The Things They Say About Us On Some Of These POPULAR Blogs And Websites...
...Forever, They Have Been Jealous Of Our SUPERIORITY...And Especially In Sports...Just Think...Of All The Blacks In The - NHL - Absolutely NONE... ...There Had To Be One Sport That We Aren't "Allowed" To Participate, And They In-Return...Are Able To Rule SUPREME...
My God folks. Our people are on TV degrading ourselves daily and we want to say that another race can't address us as we address ourselves. I don't buy it. That argument is for the less inteligent. Why don't you boycott the music business who push Explicit Lyrics? You are feeding your brain garbage. Who wants that kind of language to identify with? I complain every week about the music at CC, BB and all the other outlest. Do you think they care? Man, white folks will forever be justified in calling us whatever they want as long as we do it publically to ourselves. Lead by example. Eliminate the word, the musice with the word....there are more than enough words in the English language for us to communicate on an intellecutal level without using profanity! Stop the Madness...Dance some....life ain't that serious, but you'd better watch what you say...words are power...you are what you say you are!
***, ya'll some self hating negroes! These white people even made you feel guilty for their racism..
If every black person in the world stopped saying "***!gger" that wouldn't stop the word from being used by white racists. It was used for years will always be a part of our language now. This dude didn't grow up in a black neighborhood and knows *** well that he *** be saying it.
Every white person in this country knows they're not supposed to say it, but it keeps getting "slipped" out? Get the *** outta here... I don't want to hear no more of this "[EXPLETIVE]" stuff!!
Some of you people are making no sense. Was it ok when Dr Dre called Will Smith a Bi*ch Ni*ga? Is it because they are both black and thats ok. Black people are allowed to degrade their own, but when a white person does it hes a [EXPLETIVE], whitebread, etc. To all of you who called him a [EXPLETIVE], whitebread, and that he needs to has his a** whoped, you just stooped to his level. I hate the word just as much as some people, and when its said it just shows iggnorance. And when people saw kick is a**, hes a [EXPLETIVE], whitebread, it just shows your iggnorance as well. GROW UP people. This is the 20th century.
I was sitting down watching Home Improvement just a couple *** ago thinking to myself "this trailer park trash looks like the type to say something like that." Looks like I was right.
That's why I'm against incest and inbreeding. Zack, don't do what your mom and dad/sister and brother did to have you again. Break that cycle.
I guess it's how people say the *** word that *** society off. Because I hear people, especially young people calling each other the *** word all the time. And most of them don't even be black people. Hispanic mostly, and a few white boys out there calling each other the *** word. So what is the big deal in this day and time?
Flag post [EXPLETIVE] *** [EXPLETIVE]!!! this is what is wrong with the world.black people are the most racist people on the planet.seriously heres why.black people can say all they want talk *** about any race.have black only clubs and scholarship programs but if white people even think about something like that its oh hell no he didnt *** ***.a white person makes a joke about black people and its *** ass al *** time and you got to apoligize.but watch the first 20 seconds of def comedy jam they say more about us [EXPLETIVE] then the last 5 white people who were forced into apoligizing by al ***.believe it or not im not racist and i support obama he wil;l be getting my vote because he recognizes these *** double standards.
