A check of Urban Dictionary confirms that "Grape Soda" is often used in a derogatory way.
You’re missing my point. The name Grape Soda by itself probably wouldn’t have bothered people. It’s been a long time since I had some but grape soda is damn good.

Guillot can’t help himself because he a) thinks he’s funny and b) thinks saying racist things is edgy, so he sent out the tweet January 1st egging Rudolph on with the black fist emoji, etc. Ironically enough no one really pays attention to him so no one really caught wind of it until after the horse ran and he again opened his mouth.

More of Eric Guillot, the barely literate comedian

https://mobile.twitter.com/EricGuill...66833758052352

I like that people defending him want to bring up Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock and COMEDY routines.

I feel like I live in the twilight zone where half of the country is so phucking dumb that it makes my head hurt.

After years and countless hours, I deleted my Twitter account. I am tired of the nonsense, you have abhorrent behavior from so many it has just become more of a hassle then it is worth. Both Twitter and the people on it seem to be doing everything they can to destroy its value. I will continue to listen to ATR and follow racing without the need to be subjected to Ken Rudolph who is the worst and Eric Guillot who is a complete schmuck. I need less moronic stuff in my life not more.

Yeah that’s the worst part of the whole thing. I’m not a Rudolph fan and Guillot has made him a sympathetic figure.

For two people like them to be making the news in racing for absolutely no reason at all, it has time to reflect on just how inane tweeter has become and see how damaging it. A marginal trainer with an off-putting sense of humor and a guy who has no business educating the public about the sport, at least on the handicapping side. How the heck is either the story?

They aren't making news for "absolutely no reason at all" and it's not about an "off-putting sense of humor." It's about what somehow some people have deemed as acceptable that is COMPLETELY unacceptable.

Guillot is pathetic I won't lose a minute of sleep worrying about him. He was easy to cancel he canceled himself.

Couldn't say it any better....

Rudolf has mastered the art of bull shlt. He can actually talk for 3 minutes straight and not say a F'kng thing.

Right Matty? Let's pad that bankroll! I need some some stacks!....

Guillot, who?

Yeah I mean Rudolph isn’t a great analyst so everyone should lighten up that a trainer is egging him on by saying racist things to him.

Thanks for letting us know. Have you done any new drawings?

100%. He's always played the fool for effect and can't discern what's offensive, hurtful or unacceptable.
