Lol, what was the specific racist statement made by Cumia?
And note the comments section is a full blown racism shout-fest.
Lol, and for the record, I have ancestors who fought for the Union at several major battles, so how am I guilty of racism when the accusation of all whites being engaged is obviously not true, and the slaves were bought originally from other black tribesmen in the first place?

So the chain of events are, as best I can tell that we actually know for a fact:
1) Cumia rants on twitter about being attacked by a black female.
2) The closest thing he said to a racist term, as far as I can see it were 'savage' (not a reference to race at all), 'black', (so its now racist for white people to call someone black?), 'bitch' (not a reference to race at all), and other rude but race-neutral things.
3) PC Nazis on Twitter get upset and threaten to boycott SiriusXM.
4) SiriusXM decides to abort the whole controversy by firing Cumia.
5) PC Nazis celebrate another scalp taken in their war against American culture.
So we once again have freedom of speech subordinated to the fear of being targeted by racist PC Nazis threatening a shakedown by a business owned by people who love money far more than freedom of speech.
And people there is far worse coming from the PC Nazi elite. Threatening the whole country into self censorship is only the beginning.

Anthony Cumia, host of Opie and Anthony, tells News he has 'options' after being fired by SiriusXM for racist Twitter rant
The show's over. The satellite radio company announced Friday that it axed the DJ after he fired off a string of racist tweets about a black woman he claimed punched him in Times Square. It was not immediately clear if Cumia's longtime co-host, Gregg (Opie) Hughes, would be allowed to continue their program.
Shock jock Anthony Cumia was yanked off the air for his racist Twitter rant against a black woman he claimed punched him in Times Square, SiriusXM announced Friday.
Cumia, one half of the longtime radio team “Opie & Anthony,” was fired by SiriusXM, who called the 53-year-old disc jockey’s remarks “hate-filled.”...
Cumia had plenty to say earlier this week on Twitter when he called the woman an “animal b---h” and a “savage.”
The foul-mouthed host argued on Twitter that he was the real victim .
“Sirius decided to cave and fire me,” he tweeted Friday. “Welcome to bizarro world. Fired for s--t that wasn’t even on the air & wasn’t illegal. So, who’s next?”
He said he wouldn’t apologize for any of the tweets he wrote since the alleged attack early Tuesday.
Cumia claims the woman punched him in the face after she realized she was in one of several pictures he had been taking at the Crossroads of the World
“Then she punched me 5 more times,” the radio host tweeted. “She’s lucky I was a white legal gun owner or she’d be dead. Then 5 blacks started giving me s--t!”
Police were never called to the scene and no witnesses have come forward .
So the chain of events are, as best I can tell that we actually know for a fact:
1) Cumia rants on twitter about being attacked by a black female.
2) The closest thing he said to a racist term, as far as I can see it were 'savage' (not a reference to race at all), 'black', (so its now racist for white people to call someone black?), 'bitch' (not a reference to race at all), and other rude but race-neutral things.

4) SiriusXM decides to abort the whole controversy by firing Cumia.
5) PC Nazis celebrate another scalp taken in their war against American culture.
