In context, I understand why he was suspended/fired. I've heard that phrase before, and being in a predominately white neighbourhood, never made the connection to racism. Same when my friend (I was 12 at the time) used the term "n-word lipping" to punctuate getting too much saliva on a cigarette butt. I had a very sheltered childhood in that regard. >_>

This is why Trump won.

People overreact.

A warning would have been enough, but nope. Burn him at the cross, ban him from this country! That'll teach him.

I mean it's a phrase used by literal Looney Tunes. It's entirely possible to grow up without understanding what it's a reference too.

For example, China censored the Tiananmen Square Massacre so hard that some people got on TV to talk about "The Anniversary" and the Chinese censors didn't realize that it was a reference to Tiananmen Square and it got broadcast and that was far more recent than slavery.

Black people tend to have bigger lips than white people, so in turn one might assume that the increased surface area of ones lips might result in more saliva excreting from their mouth while smoking a joint or cigarette

When this phrase is used in Looney Tunes it means the same thing as he's gone crazy. That's clearly what the announcer meant. The other announcer (Michael Cage) is black... why would the announcer who got fired say something racist?
