...like when Mel Gibson revealed his true racist self?
You've heard this story:
Comedian Michael Richards, who portrayed the wacko character Cosmo Kramer on the NBC hit TV show "Seinfeld," appeared to flip out "when a group of blacks began heckling him" Friday night at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood.
His words:
"Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a fucking fork up your ass,"
"You can talk, you can talk, you're brave now motherfucker.
Throw his ass out. He's a nigger! He's a nigger! He's a nigger! A nigger, look, there's a nigger!" ..."They're going to arrest me for calling a black man a
nigger?"
Will There Be the Same Outrage? I think not. Not the same, anyway:
1. Jewish people are White. Black people are black.
2.Richards is a no body. He is not important. If anything, this incident will make him more important to the world than he is.
3. He's a comedian. I heard Steve Harvey this morning mention that he had friends actually there and said, he was tanking on stage. (From the video you can see he was a bit amphed. Though comedians should be well trained to handle hecklers.) When a comedian is in a whole, he nearly does anything to get out. And the usual method is to address the audience and hecklers. Richards made a mistake with his words, and showed his true racist self.
Finally, it is my opinion when these white men are pushed to the test and under pressure, they reveal their true racist self. The humor in it is when they are suprised at the hurtful words that spew from their mouths. "I don't know where that came from...some of my best friends are black."
(And for the longest time...we thought Kramer was black. You know you did! "He has to be!")
But, admit it...we are no really surpirsed. Just the rest of America is.
