Michael Richards Needs To Quit! Period
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061121/ap_en_ce/people_michael_richards Michael Richards needs to quit! He can't find the men that were the target of his tirade. Even though their lawyer has been on television requesting that he speak with her clients. He can't find them. Now however you feel about these guys getting a lawyer, lets not get sidetracked. Michael Richards can't find them but he found David Letterman and Jesse Jackson. His apology on Letterman left a lot to be desired. He said Afro-American not African- American! An Afro is a hairdo! But he can't say that correctly because it is not a familiar term to him. Then Seinfeld cleaned it up with a few jokes about "gangstering his kids, treating them in the way of Sicilians and something about pinatas. I got distracted by Letterman's squirming and trying to move Seinfeld from his chosen subjects. It's wrong to denounce anyone. but people don't accidently use derogatory language. It could be viewed as a mistake but this was no accident! Nobody accidently uses language that is not already a part of their "regular" language! I hope Jesse Jackson has a plan and not a rhyme! Why he wants to give this man more air time to fumble through a useless apology is really suspect. This man doesn't really know what he's apologizing for. What he does know is he messed up the sale of the 7th season of Seinfield that was set for release 11/24/2006 and everyone who could profit is hopping mad. They have probably called Michael Richards some names and said some things to him almost or equally as derogatory as what he said, and it probably started with "you stupid"! He messed up the money! It's a wonder Richards hasn't gone to rehab or disclosed being sexually abused by a priest, you know anything goes these days when it comes to denial and running away from personal responsibility. So let's stop focusing on this situation and giving this man publicity. Up with hope and down with Dope!

you know what is interesting about this is that Michael Richards was speaking for those who havent had the nerve to speak up for themsleves. He said what most dont have the heart to say, because they are afraid.
Afraid of what?
Afraid because they are living with undeserved privilege based on the color of their skin. And they are scared because black people or N*GG*Z as he called them, should be mad as hell.
and they are...
except underneath all that "mad as hell" is some deepazz pain.
yep
Post-Traumatic-Slave syndrome.
folks was traumatized by just seeing the 9/11 trade towers go down and they wasnt even there!
Dontcha know that peeple who endured hundreds of years of being traumatized, murderized, stuck upside down on pitchforks, raped, abused and used have got a little bit of post traumatic stress goin on?
The book Black Rage from the 60's told a little of the story. Dr Joy Degruy Leary in her thesis tells another huge piece of the puzzle.
I would suggest all people of color, including pink folks who believe in the existence of N*GG*Z, read her book called aptly, Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, or get the CD if you reading challenged...
It will curl your toes, bring tears to your eyes, and wake up a whole lotta peeps.
In the words of the Black Poets from the 60's "Wake up N*GG*Z, or we all through!"
just my 02. worf
and remember, if you aint seen it on LieWitness News, it might be true!
