Train Wrecks
Brandon's Flunky Used to be Funky

Dallas Austin: Click to Watch!Turns out the Unc Tom who was working the graveyard shift as Brandon Davis' flunky is music producer Dallas Austin (TMZ users don't miss a thang!). See below. See Greasy call people "nigger" and "faggot." See Jane run. See Dallas lose all self-respect.

Austin has worked with Madonna, TLC, Gwen Stefani and Michael Jackson. P.S., he now has the street cred of Miley Cyrus.

Dallas Austin -- from rollin' with hos, to hangin' with homophobes.

3. and #1 TMZ is not out of line, it's time people see the likes of Brandon Davis and Paris Hilton for what they really are....morons who spend their parents money. The people who hang around these racist idiots are just bottom feeders searching for their lost careers in the dark using a flashlight with no batteries.

4. So, for Brandon Davis to use those words is dispicable, but for a well-known magazine/"entertainment" show to use similar words is okay? You guys are idiots.

5. Just can't control your own filthy mouth, can you, tmz?Your racist "uncle tom" comment and your smart ass comment about an innocent 15 year old girl reveal to us-your audience-who you are. Spare us your vapid, sanctimonious, and hypocritical, not to mention hysterical comments about the slime Davis. Truth is we don't hear anything you have to say beyond your vile rants and name-calling. In other words, you're not persuading anyone about anything. We instantly tune you out.Goebbels you ain't.

6. People should be allowed to say anything they want.
Without PC-Thugs trying to sanitize the English language.
TMZ is now pathetic and sad, yellow journalism at it's worse.
It would be nice if you returned to reporting stories, rather
than trying to create it.
Your credibility level is so low, what happened?
Ah yes, the tv show.
Harvey Levin is a narcissistic hack.

7. As a white person who has spurned the company of associates I heard make the same or similar statements, I'm just wondering how this guy can keep from punching Brandon's lights out, knowing that is how he feels. But then again, I only associate with people whose vocabulary is extensive enough they don't have to resort to racist or bigoted labelling to insult someone that offfends them. Brandon Davis is scum, just like anyone else who uses descriminatory terms as insults. This former "Funky" guy should be ashamed of himself for allowing himself to literally be used as WHITEWASH for Brandon. That's called "circling the drain." Since he IS putting himself out there as a front for Brandon, he completely fits the definition of an "Uncle Tom." Fair call, TMZ.

8. Why are the paps acting so out of control now?? I would be ashamed TMZ @ these guys. He said he tea bagged his mom and stuff...I would have donkey kicked that little douchebag if he said it to me.

9. I agree with a previous poster. Calling a 15 year old girl a "bitch", calling an African-American an "Uncle Tom" and cracking wise about a dead mother, calling children "rug rats", and dumpster-diving for someone's credit card bill gives you the moral authority to be indignant? What planet are you all from?

10. I'll offer the same sentiment to Dallas Austin as I would any rap artist...
You're not helping us, bro...

11. don't call Dallas an uncle Tom because he doesnt want to get caught up in this ridiculous mess
why any one would pay attention to what Brandon davis thinks or says is beyond me but i thought Dallas handled himself accordingly

12. THIS MENTALITY AMONGST AMERICAN BLACKS IS SOMETHING I CANNOT UNDERSTAND ... YOU COMPLAIN WHEN WHITES CALL YOU THE N WORD BUT TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN CALLING YOURSELVES THIS SAME WORD..AND AS AN AFRICAN ITS DISGUSTING TO HEAR IT..BUT THIS IS THE MINDSET THAT IS DEEP ROOTED IN THE SLAVE PAST OF THESE PEOPLE.. FOR DALLAS AUSTIN TO DO WHAT HE JUST DID JUST ILLUSTRATES THAT SELF HATRED THAT THEY CARRY AROUND DESPITE THE FINANCIAL SUCCESS.. THE MENTAL BLOCK ALLOWS THE LIKES OF THAT CREATURE TO STILL MAKE A MOCKERY OF THEM LIKE THIS.. USING THEIR OWN PEOPLE TO DO SO... UNBELIEVABLE..???.

13.
WOW. Ignorance at it’s best.

I so saw this coming. This is the typical move to do these days. Call people racial slurs/homos/disrespect their religion and so on, and then get your self an idiot to cover for you. Just look at the most recent racist dirty bastard, DOGG. He went and shook hands with a few African Americans and went on the “I’m so for African Americans” tour. Then a few months later he has his show back. PATHETIC!

Greasy’s idiot cover just happens to be Dallas “fellow crackhead” Austin. Nice job, Toby.
Dallas, sometimes you need to know when a dollar is just a dollar. Your pride is worth more than that. Then again, maybe yours isn’t.

PEACE.

14. ITS THE BLACKS WHO INSIST ON PERPETUATING THIS "WHIGGER" CULTULRE WHO I DESPISE FOR RE-INFORCING SUCH CRAP THAT ALL BLACKS ARE LABELLED WITH, THIS RUBBISH SHOULD JUST STAY IN THE US WHERER IT BELONGS. INSTEAD OF THE LIKES OF AUSTIN SELLING IT IN MUSIC, WHAT A SAD LOSER!!.LITTLE WHITE GIRLS KICKED HIS WHINEY ASS!!

15. Being someone's friend or associate doesn't mean you co-sign their behavior. Notice that every white person out there who gets confronted for being a racist automatically reverts to, "BUT I HAVE BLACK FRIENDS!!". TMZ is run by a bunch of ignorant people, that's why it's okay for them on the one hand to sensationalize someone using the n-word, and then on the other hand to call someone an Uncle Tom. Basically, if you aren't Jewish (like Harvey Levin), you're probably going to be called some derogatory word on TMZ.com. No surprise there - and I'm really glad some of you can distinguish hype from reality.

To the self-identified African noyankhere at posts 12 and 14 - ignorance incarnate. I think it's disgusting how you can stereotype American black people, as if you're in a superior position to judge. Many of the countries in Africa have some of the most corrupt governments in the world, with BLACK people killing other BLACK people based on tribalism, religion, etc. The people who came here as slaves were sold by other Africans - a practice which still exists within certain African nations to this day. So if you want to criticize "slave culture" - look at yourself and your own people. You probably come from a country where any person who is successful has gotten there because they stole from others. I'm sure people can't visit your country without fearing that they're going to be kidnapped or robbed as soon as they leave the airport. Is this the superior African culture you speak of - where black people victimize each other? Sounds like paradise. The definition of an Uncle Tom is someone who panders to white people at the expense of their own, and goes out of their way to not identify with other black people. I think you totally fit the bill.
