NFL Player's Disturbing Rant Revealed
NFL Player's Disturbing Rant Revealed

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars cornerback Brian Williams had not yet made headlines on the football field when he made news off the field, accused of making some offensive comments to an officer the night he was arrested on suspicion of DUI.

According to Jacksonville police, Williams went on a racist, profanity-laced rant on the September 2006 night he was charged with driving under the influence.

WJXT-TV has obtained court documents detailing what an officer says Williams said to him that night.

The officer involved wrote in his notes that Williams called him a, "Honky mother (expletive)."

The statement goes on to say that Williams said, "I (expletive) your momma ... I (expletive) your wife twice." It got worse when, according to the officer's notes, Williams said he would do something to the officer's daughter.

4. Hmmm...
Do any black people even say "honky" any more? I thought "cracker" was the word these days...


Makes me wonder if the cop might be embellishing a bit...

5. I've noticing a lot of race-baiting stories here lately.
The girl who was sentenced 7 years for pushing a hall monitor. The Jena 6. An idiot here who finds the need to question affirmative action and reparations. Comments about Barrack Obama, etc....

My bullshit detector can only take so much.

6. Are you implying this isn't true?
Frankly, if someone called me a honky, i'd probably burst out laughing. Shades of George Jefferson.

9. I'm implying that it's racing baiting... "Look! Blacks are racist too!!!!!!!"
"Why did Don Imus get suspended?" "Calling someone a honky is as bad as calling someone a nappy headed ho"

blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa blaa

And yes, now that I think of it, I don't think the story is true. In fact, I'll be so bold to state that Mr. Williams was pulled over not for driving erratically but for simply being a black man. :-|

12. uhhh......hoookay
So he pled guilty.....but he was pulled over for being black. And the cop decided to make up all the racist stuff just for fun.

Here's my take....a multi-million dollar athlete acts like an absolute idiot. Therefore, its a story. Flip the races around. Would you still think its not a story? Or that it was made up?

Racist idiots are racist idiots. Black, white, or otherwise.

8. When I first saw the headline on local 6 I thought it was about a white guy
which I guess makes me a tad racist. Had it been I still would have posted it (as you can see I post a lot from that news outlet).

Is it race baiting to post news articles about racist things that occur?

Is it christian bashing to post stories about Hannah Montana, etc like I have?

14. It's not just you. It's cheap, and dishonest to show up where progressive people expect to find
a format for progressive conversation.

It insults people who have never had time nor inclination to harbor the rancor, resentment, hatred these guys drag around with them. Why should we have to put up with it?

7. White folks LOVE any crumb of "reverse racism" they can get their hands on...
... Because they JUST KNOW that black folks are every bit as racist as they are. They just know it!

11. But but but but
That's what I was insinuating. So I'm going to say that Williams was pulled over for "DWB" Driving While Black! :P

10. Hey, alcohol is a bad drug
and drunks tend to be belligerent. This guy is obviously a really mean drunk.

I'd rather deal with people who are high (with the exception of meth and PCP) than drunks.

19. But is anything revealed? How do we know the officer is telling the truth?
What we have here is one side of a story, and now nobody is talking.

21. Well, apparently some people don't want to talk about it :)
It could well indeed be the cop making it all up to stick it to an athlete, or maybe the cop is racist.

26. Been a while since I heard the word "honky"
Didn't realize anyone still said that.

Far out.
