Tough Talk, But True

Michael Richard's comments may have exploded in his face. In hindsight, I'm sure he wish he had it to do over. They weren't totally off base though. To the contrary, they were unfortunately true. Fifty years ago it would have been a different story. That's why I always try and remind Blacks, of the advances in race relations. It wasn't very long ago. We were being slapped and kicked. We were attacked by police dogs, and sprayed with fire hoses. I remember pictures of sheriff "Bull Connors" vividly. Having this happen didn't make you a coward. Just a victim of the times. It was a normal occurrence, in some places. Thank God, these opinions don't represent the majority. I don't know how old Richard's is, but depending on how he looks. I think it's safe to say. Michael Richards came up during a time. When and where this could very well, have been the norm. I wonder how many people talk this way, behind closed doors?

As I watched the video. One thing came to mind. Contrary to what some people think. All White people aren't intimidated by Blacks. Some of them are just as ignorant. As they accuse Blacks of being. Of course I'm talking about the racist ones. Go to the link below and read the full fallout: http://www.tmz.com/2006/11/20/kramers-racist-tirade-caught-on-tape/
