Anyone else heard it? He doesn't say it at all. It could perhaps be interpreted as that, but only by people who want to believe he did something wrong.
Pathetic if you ask me.
Also, why are black people allowed to use the word? Are they exempt from this witch hunt?

One of the best episodes of South Park 
I think it is pathetic. Nigger in itself is a word. Same as fuck, shit, cock and prick.
Saying one doesn't cause offence.
Directing one at someone in a derogatory state does.

I thought they made sure it wasn't broadcast so why does it matter?

He's fucked it for himself whether you think he is right, wrong or indifferent.
Grovelling apology today sees to that.

Nobody bats an eyelid over natural disasters, shootings, etc. But when somebody allegedly uses the N-Word the whole world goes crazy.
Daily Mirror has wanted Clarksons blood for years with his ongoing spat with Morgan. The paper that fabricates soldiers urinating on folk taking the moral high ground, GTF!

Of course he said nigger.
Of course that isn't racist.
He travels the world, probably meets a great many people from a great many races and cultures and I'm sure his attitude to those people is absolutely fine.
If he traveled the world treating the people he meets with actual contempt then go hang on that as racism.
If he said he's not having any niggers in his audience then that's obviously newsworthy.
If he did a book signing and refused someone because they were a nigger then lets hear about that.
I don't know the guy, I don't know how he acts off camera but I would hope that his experience of actually having left the house and spent some time in places where he's the minority would have given him at least some appreciation that its acceptable that other people are alive and are just other regular people with different genes.
There are two facets to this story - the fact that the is a large amount of history between him and that newspaper and the fact it has legs because most of this country are either too soft or too naive to actually understand the issues.
It'll go far as news, he'll be forced to apologise for the sake of appeasing all the liberal cunts whose idea of democracy is having a cry until they get their way. Unfortunately some of them are in positions of power and lots of them work for the BBC.
He'd do better saying so what, I substituted the word 'tiger' for 'nigger' because I was just being flippant and thought it might have been funnier to me.
I see now there are quotes saying he loathes the word and asked for it to be removed etc. etc.
Why even lie? You said it, you were trying to be funny, it wasn't funny, it wasn't appropriate for broadcast. The end.
Such a non-story.

It used to be catch a nigger by it's toe, my Gran sang that rhyme to my 2 year old cousin when she was having a bath once, her Bermudan mother heard her singing it, she never saw her sons family again. Until my grandads funeral 15 years later, by then it was too late.

He said it sounds like he said it. He didn't say he actually said that word.
The only way he'll appease the wankers is by apologising.

Didn't have Clarkson down as the kind of guy to make a grovelling apology pleading for forgiveness. Looks weak

An apology is an admittance of guilt in my book. Either that or the actions of someone that is utterly spineless and I don't think that he is.

Very much doubt it.
Only people who are racist/want to believe he's racist, think that he actually mumbles that word.
Watch the video and listen. Theres nothing to it whatsoever.

When I watched the apology I was waiting and hoping for him to be taking the piss so it was disappointing to see him genuinely apologising

He apologises to save the bandwagon running him over. I doubt he wanted to apologise but had no choice as that's the PC bullshit world we live in.
