What an idiot.

Knicks president and coach Isiah Thomas denied in a videotaped deposition shown in court Monday that he ever called a female former co-worker a "bitch" or a "ho," but said he didn't think it would be as bad for a black man to call a black woman those names as it would be for a white man.
When he was asked if he thought it was offensive for a black man to call a black woman a "bitch," he said, "Not as much."
"And I'm sorry to say I do make a distinction," he said. "A white man calling a black woman a bitch is highly offensive."
It was the second time the issue of race was brought into Thomas' trial. Last week, Browne Sanders testified that Thomas became enraged when she tried to get him involved in sales meetings and events relating to season ticket holders.
"I don't give a f--- about these white people," Browne Sanders quoted Thomas as saying.
