The NY Post has had their fair share of racist controversies—just recently, there was the cartoon which portrayed Muslims as terrorists—but it seems as though columnist Phil Mushnick really wants to take things to the next level. Today, he rails against the new Brooklyn Nets and Jay-Z, who owns 1.47% of the team: "Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York N------s? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn B----hes or Hoes." Wow. Here's the full quote in its grotesque context:

As long as the Nets are allowing Jay-Z to call their marketing shots — what a shock that he chose black and white as the new team colors to stress, as the Nets explained, their new “urban” home — why not have him apply the full Jay-Z treatment? Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York N------s? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn B----hes or Hoes. Team logo? A 9 mm with hollow-tip shell casings strewn beneath. Wanna be Jay-Z hip? Then go all the way!

Last week, the Nets introduced the new branding for the team's big Brooklyn move, which was at least partially made by Jay-Z. We've called Mushnick for comment, and will update when we hear back—but suffice to say, this isn't the first time he's published something along these lines. We'll have another post with more on that later.
