American Sayings for $5000, Alex.

Can someone point me to aSource OLDER THAN A MONTH, where saying someone has "rubber lips" means they are lying?


Thanks.


I'm genuinely curious about this.

He didn't say rubber lips. He compared his lips to Michelin tires.

It was obviously a racist statement, but his damage control was good on that one. Too bad someone wants him gone because he just resigned.

These definitions would make sense.

But these definitions are NOT talking about lying.

Also, I asked for a Source OLDER THAN A MONTH, so that people can't pop up with new "wikipedia changes"

How was his damage control good on that one?

He said "rubber lips" means lying. Thus Michelin Tires would mean a BIG LIAR (lots of rubber to those lips).


Nobody can come up with a source where it means lying. Only sources where it DOES NOT mean lying.

It was successful in tricking racist white Miscers but they would have grasped on to anything to defend a racist white guy.


But as this thread indicates, the claim that "rubber lips" refers to lying is a lie in itself.





Gruden deserves to lose his job in the NFL and not be a TV analyst again if he is a racist towards the majority of the players in the league.


LMAO, how could you expect to be a leader in your business, if you mock and denigrate the race of the majority of your employees, including your most talented employees.

sixnine was never mainstream, and he still got cancelled by the people anyways.

Someone almost cancelled him permanently.
Then he got cancelled by the Government and his rise got stopped dead for snitching.

I've never heard of rubber lips before, but sometimes people come up with their own personal made up terms for insults. Also calling someone big lips or comparing their lip size to a tire still isn't a racist insult on its own. It's just simply an insult.

This is where the rationalizing starts falling apart for racists.
When you have nothing to point to other than claiming its a "secret handshake" or "inside joke."
I hope we get to see other instances where he uses "rubber lips" in his emails to reference lying.


But the far more convincing argument is that in calling this black man's lips "michelin tires," he was mocking the typically bigger lips of african americans, which they are BORN with, i.e. not a choice - a physical feature by race.


This is a RACIAL insult in the very sense of the word, not just discriminatory.
Can't say anyone is just being "sensitive" or "politically correct" here.



Jon Gruden is a RACIST and should never be employed in the NFL or Media again.






CASE CLOSED until Further Evidence Surfaces as mentioned above.

Gruden never mentions race in the "Michelin tire" insult.

Yet you specifically say "the bigger lips of African Americans, which they are born with".

Pretty sure that makes OP the racist (assuming or associating characteristics with race exclusively) , and not Gruden.

even if thats exactly what he meant by the comment that still doesnt make him a racist. if he makes fun of someones lips that doesnt mean he hates the entire race of people.

just like you insinuating that black people are better athletes in a previous comment doesnt make you a racist. you are no better than John Gruden

Gruden says rubber lips in a ten year old email…time stop. Former players cry. The country grinds to a halt. Such a tragedy. Meanwhile blacks murder and rape every other race very disproportionately. They don’t seem to care about THAT racism.

Yeah Gruden is clearly a racist, thats why he works in an industry that has a huge amount of African Americans in it. If he was truly a racist bigot it would've shown on the field already, and so many players wouldn't love him.
Its sad he had to resign, because I promise you if you go back and look at old text messages or chats most people have said something racist or homophobic or something bad.
