Sean Penn's son calls black photographer a "fa---t" and "ni---r"

**Warning: Video contains graphic and offensive language**


http://m.tmz.com/#Article...pher-video

Sean Penn's son handled a paparazzo in Beverly Hills today much the way his father used to ... violently ramming the photog -- and also calling the guy a "f***ot" and a "n***er."

19-year-old Hopper Penn was following his dad into a medical building when he got into the altercation with an African-American photographer (not TMZ's).

The nuclear exchange was all caught on tape ... Hopper gets up in the photog's face, pushing him, then says, "F*** you ... you're a f***ing f***ot ... shut up you f***ing n***er."

Cops happened to be nearby at the time and heard the commotion. Law enforcement sources tell us, officers asked what happened ... but the photog said it was just a verbal argument, and he didn't want to press charges.

Hopper tells TMZ his side of the story is ... “I was accosted by paparazzi and made to feel like an animal - threatened and under attack, but that does not condone my own actions."

He adds, "I deeply regret my choice of words.”

FYI, Sean was 100% calm and cool in today's video.

It's been nearly four years since Sean's infamous kicking altercation with a photog. He was sentenced to three years probation stemming from that incident.

Not suprising considering Sean Penn had crazy anger issues and ways with ''words'' in his younger days.

I know dude is a good actor but just look at his face he look's to have a lot of hate in his life.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

yeah, why the gay and racial slurs? granted, i don't think i could take being in the public eye with these assholes shoving cameras in my face, either. but just call them 'assholes', since that's how they're behaving. what does their sexual orientation or race have to do with it?

Very dissapointing, considering Mr. Penn's very strongly delivered pro-gay marriage speach for 'Harvey Milk'. confused

People who agree or who think such behavior shouldn't be rebuked and/or simply ignored. Those are the types of people who don't care...

i certainly do NOT condone his slurs.

that being said: he's a kid who's not a celebrity and doesnt seem to want to be. he doesnt act, he doesnt sing, hes not trying to be in entertainment or in the public eye.

imagine yourself in the same position. you're just trying to live your life and have cameras shoved in your face and your privacy aggressively invaded because your father is famous.

it doesnt justify his awful slurs, but...

Coincidentally,
I just posted in another thread that I would be watching "Colors" (starring Sean Penn) in honor of Holi today.

Hmm, yeah but just because he played that "role" doesn't mean he really meant it. Dude is an excellent actor.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Hmm, seems to me that these are common topics in the Penn household...otherwise it wouldn't had even flown out of the kid's mouth, period.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Isn't Sean Penn heavily involved with the rebuilding of Haiti? I kinda surprised this came out of his son's mouth, but in a fit of anger people do tend to say stupid shit.

It don't matter lol there's been instances of him acting scum. In fact if I can recall, he did the same thing his son did years ago... calling someone the f-word and I think he also called another the n-word a while ago too.

I always thought Sean was a douchebag though regardless. Like I said, his son seems to be a chip off the old block. I understand the paparazzi can be annoying but this was easily avoidable. Sounds like ole boy got the same anger management problems his old man had (or has).

Yup he is. He's spent ALOT of time in the trenches there himself. Don't know why he's getting so bagged here. He's probably done more to help others than any of us.

I'm sure he's pretty upset at what came out of his sons mouth.

Right on clapping

Why would he spend some of his own money and so much of this time if he thought black people were nothing but (insert N-word here).

No one is perfect and I'm sure he just cringed when he heard his son say these words.

yes, but that kind of forethought just slows the mob down...
