not really no, he could have very well said raped by a bunch a crackers, is whatever woulda scare/irk/terrorize her the most i suppose. It was super abusive but hardly see it as racism. I find ppl ah little too touchy when it comes to the race thing yes.
hes probably to old for this...
That's not it. Let me clarify myself.In my eyes, racism exist when a person has an expressed hatred against another person or group of persons. Had he said, "I hate those niggers" or "I hope u get raped by a pack of dirty niggers" in that manner (the dirty being used could be replaced by any derogatory term) , it is a damn racist and disrespectful remark.To me, as I see it in this context, i think he was just trying to be as hurtful and abusive towards his wife, not that he was trying to be racist. Many interpret it to be racist, but since race is the last thing on my mind when listening to the tape, I hear abusive husband, not racist.
