Mel Gibson N-Word Tirade Prompts Response From NAACP
The NAACP (The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) has issued a statement condemning actor Mel Gibson after the well-documented anti-Semite was accused of spitting out racist words during a homicidal rant against his former girlfriend.

Four years to the month since his last public scandal, the actor has reportedly been recorded dropping the N-Bomb in an expletive-laden, jaw-dropping tirade against Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his eighth child.

Looks like Mel’s mouth continues to be his most lethal weapon.

“You look like a f****** pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n******, it will be your fault,” Gibson fumed in a recording submitted to a US court as evidence in the couple’s ongoing custody battle over their eight-month-old daughter Lucia.

The Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP wasted no time taking the Oscar winner to task over his disturbing behavior, blasting Gibson in a statement to RadarOnline.com on Thursday.

“It is unfortunate that a man of his statue and admiration, who has made his millions off of women, African-Americans and Jews harbor such racist, sexist, and anti-Semitic feeling against people who have admired and respected him for decades,” said Leon Jenkins, President of the NAACP. “An apology is insufficient given his history of racism, sexism and anti Semitism. He has set one of the worse examples for our young children and adults at a time when this country is making significant progress in moving toward a color-blind society. No amount of words will change his image as an out of date and out of control racist. Only a sustained period of positive acts can his legacy be redeemed.”

This isn’t the first time Mel’s gone postal with a racist tirade. In 2006 the actor made anti-Semitic comments against the police officer who arrested him for drink driving.

These new allegations come just days after claims that the actor punched his girlfriend in the face, knocking her two front teeth out, prior to their split in April.
