Is this even real? ***WARNING EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE***
I just saw this on another message board. Sorry if this has been posted before but I'm a tad dumbfounded by it. Maybe it's just me but I don't know how anyone could walk around with this much negativity in their heart. The whole thing is ridiculous from the racist idiot on the phone to the stupid DJ's. What's this country coming to? Again, is this even real?

1. The clip they're playing
of the *commercial* they're talking about is from "Coming to America" with Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall, so based soley on that I'd say it's definitely not for real. AND it says at the top of the window "nascar prank", so that would be clue #2... ;)

2. I know the "Coming to America" part
What I was asking is if this radio "prank" actually happened.

3. Ach...my apologies
I have no information to offer then, however, nothing would surprise me. Even if it didn't actually happen on the radio, it's on the internet for all to hear, so really, what's the diff?? :(

4. I'm thinking that this is a prank.
But it's a prank on the guy on the phone. Did some radio station do this?

I wouldn't doubt it if the racist guy is real. I know people like that.

5. Yipes!
I think the DJs knew of some racist type to call or that this is completely contrived. Either away, I laugh with the DJs at the idiotness of the dingaling he's calling. Personally, there are definitely racist partisan homophobic nitwits like that caller out there.

6. Clearly a radio show prank
A Kenyan African/American? Yeah, it's a joke. It sounds like some DJs got the name of some local closet racist (maybe an actor), but he's really good if he's an actor. I don't think people, even racists, should be humiliated this way. But I did laugh my ass off. Democrat ball suckers indeed.

7. I think it's real...sort of.
Obviously, the "NASCAR researchers" were a DJ pair (like the guys who got The Savage Weiner to go postal?), but I think "Richard Burgess" was for real. I would guess that they called lots of people out of the phone book, until they found one racist idiot whose taped call was worth putting on the air and/or Internet.

9. It's not that offensive
It's just some ignorant hic fuck giving us a reason to feel good about ourselves.

10. They're all in on it.
Obvious radio prank. I think the Burgiss guy is in on it. Mississipians don't talk like that guy. Notice how he pronounced the word 'time'. The 'I' sound is a dead giveaway that the guy isn't Southern, or if he is he makes his living ... you guessed it, in radio.

Also, there is just no way that guy would put up with all of that without hanging up. I didn't listen to all of it. The vast majority of people would have hung up the second time they played the commercial/music thing. He was 'bout ready to blow a gasket. Joe Average would have hung up on them.

...I could be wrong.

There are a lot of assholes that do stuff like this. I once saw a video tape of some poor, uneducated black people testifying in court that was being passed around as entertainment. Members of my own family participated in this racist bullshit. I was - and remain these many years later - disgusted with them.
