Reign of White Guilt. It's raining white guilt! But then, only non-whites can speak about it and mock it as Shelby Steele does. But you oughta attend some ethnic gatherings as an insider or a trusted outsider. It helps to speak the language, too. (I mean 'ethnic' as in foreign born U.S. residents or citizens.) By the measuring stick of the "RACISM" obsessed white guilt promoters, they are all (the ethnics), I mean all, "RACISTS", just for daring to note certain obvious cultural characteristics of other ethnic groups, most often those the native born white guilty feel so guilty about. But these ethnics know full well that it's not about race, it's about culture, stupid. Just ask some Africans here...

A Chris Rock routine or even a gangsta rap album are not comparable to Michael Richards' tirade. They just aren't. That's not white guilt, just an ability to look at things and call them what they are. Has Louis Farakkhan said things comparable in their offensiveness to what Richards said? Absolutely. Are there black racists who say things just as vile, and are far more serious about it, than Michael Richards? No question. But you've spent a lot of time and effort trying to counterbalance an act of white racism with acts that don't come close to balancing.

Minister Farakkhan has never been made to publicy apologize for his statements. Instead we are told of the good works his "millions" of followers do in becoming aware of cultural, racial, societal, and political issues.

His words of hate carry more weight because he has a cult of followers and defenders in the media and in public office. Michael Richards is a lonely comedian who will be ostracized.
