I loved Seinfeld when it first came out, my friend and I saw Jerry at the now defunct Circle Star theatre near San Francisco. The guy was funny as hell. I just never liked Kramer. So, I'm not shocked that his portrayer, Michael Richards, literally stuck his feet, both of them, in his mouth at a recent gig he had @ the Laugh Factory in L.A..
I'll make no excuses for him personally, he's an ass and obviously as bad as Babs dealing with hecklers, may what's left of his career, fail miserably. That being said..... This is what I have a frickin' HUGE problem with.
"Comic Paul Rodriguez, who was at the club, said he thought Richards' remarks crossed the line.
"Once the word comes out of your mouth and you don't happen to be African-American, then you have a whole lot of explaining," he said. "Freedom of speech has its limitations and I think Michael Richards found those limitations."
1)F*ck that two ways to Sunday. We either have FREEDOM of speech, or we don't. Not just when it insults a "minority".
2)WHAT THE FRICKIN' HELL IS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN???? These people aren't from Africa. That would be like me demanding to be called a Scottish-American because my grandparents came over on a boat.
What's with the double standard?
It's o.k. to hate "WHITEY, CRACKER ASS CRACKERS(as I've been called)", no problem there, but say NIGGER and you are screwed. They are both equally offensive.
I mean listen to this joker:...black pundit Shelby Steele informed the readers of The Wall Street Journal:"Say, 'I'm white and I'm proud,' and you are a Nazi."
Great. I'm proud of my heritage, that makes me a Jew killing nut job????
Try Chris Rock: "....keep trying to scare us. They keep telling us to be on the lookout for Al-Quedia. I ain't scared of Al-Quedia! I'm from Brooklyn... I don't give a f*ck about Al-Quedia! Mother f*ck Al-Quedia. Did Al-Quedia blow up the building in Oklahoma? NO! Did Al-Quedia put antrax in your mail? NO! Did Al-Quedia drag James Byrd onto the street till his eyes popped out of his f*ckin' head? NO! I ain't scared of Al-Quedia! I'm scared of Al-Cracka!"
Hey Chris, "Al-Quedia" as you call it, killed over 3000 people in one day, not to mention.....but you don't care do you?
Chris Rock again,"Blacks don't hate Jews; blacks hate white people."
But that's o.k., no problem, it was just Chris Rock being "funny". Humor is subjective.
This double standard HAS TO GO.
Will the New FCC Meddle More or Less?
