I'm not entirely convinced that the claimed racial slurs really existed. I watched the video before reading any thing more specific than "racist rant" and "slurs". The audio is poor quality, and I certainly didn't catch everything, but it certainly seemed to me like he called her a "blasted" bas***d. Subsequently, I read articles which claimed that he called her a "black bas***d, after reading that I went back and listened again, and it still sounded like "blasted" to me. Obviously he was belligerent and insulting and I'm certainly not excusing that, but try as I might to hear the word before bas***d as "black", it always seems to be distinctly 2 syllables to my ear.
