Richards certainly is a racist, at least as much as Sharpton is. And, of course, for Sharpton it's all about the money. Richards needs to show him the money. And then Richards better have plenty more to spread around, because every race-hustling scumbag on God's green earth, along with their scumbag lawyers, will be coming by with their hands out.
My wife and I used to go to the comedy clubs years ago. One night we visited the Comedy Club on Sunset in Hollywood. Up until midnight the performances were some of the funniest we had seen. Then one black "comedian" focused on a very attractive white woman in the audience.
This guy was vicious and the offerings were racist, vulgar and way over the line of anything that might be acceptable along the lines of interactive comedy. It made my wife and I very uncomfortable. The audience seemed to agree. The woman and her small group got up and left. The comedian's stint was over shortly after that.
The next guy was also black and made the first look tame by comparison. When my wife and I finally walked out, we were actually somewhat fearful. By that time everyone in the audience was black and the mood was ugly. We were sitting in front and hadn't realized how the makeup of the audience had changed in the last half hour or so.
Racism is ugly. It's a two way street. Whites do not have a corner on the market. It's a personal choice to be racist or not, and no race is free from racists in their ranks.
"Enough of the communist style reeducation. He did it, he apologized and the rest is a pile of BS."
Yep.
There's nothing more fun than watching a couple effeminate liberal jugheads engaging in a cat fight.
Interpretation: I'm meeting with Richards to figure out the best way to shake him down for money.
Interesting. There's always more to these "white racism" stories than there seems to be. In this case, the fact that some black comedians are much worse. More people need to know about this. I hadn't, though, now that you mention it, I can easiily believe it.

As California goes, so goes the nation......
I'll take a different tack and defend Michael Richards. He is in California where trends begin. He is or at least seems to be a radical left winger. He is or seems to be a liberal's liberal. He is leading the way. From California he is showing the clear path to the future.
Political Correctness in speech is dead. No more are we to shackled and bound with the ropes and chains of PC speech. We are free as the constitution intends. We need no longer fear the feigned offense of the many minorities who whine and moan when their name is mentioned.
Rave on Kramer.....rave on.
Al wants a cut of the pie when Richard's is parasite'ized..
Cosmo Kramer is about to get BLED..
I meant to say he accused the cop and prosecutors of being RAPISTS, he probably called them racists too, that's what he does for a living.
Sharpton went to eat in Englewood, NJ where my friend was eating one day. My friend loudly talked the whole time about what a low-life scumbag Sharpton was plenty loud for him and his cronies to hear, Sharpy said nothing.
Even better, tell $harpton and the horse he rode in on to F-off.
Only white people can be racist by definition in a PC mad world.
Why? Richards apologized. The incident is over now. Why can't Sharpton/Jackson let it go?
I'll tell you why - because they want to remain relevant and bask in the public eye. Where was Sharpton when Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Chris Tucker, and dozens of other black and Latino comedians at when they spewed the "N" word?
I'm still waiting for the black comics at Laugh Factory to apologize to (1) the other blacks for peppering every act with the N word,a nd (2) all the whites who they offend frequently in their acts. When that happens, I'll re-think this Michael Richards thing; until then, I have no problem.
I think Richards realizes his glory days are behind him, and his career is in the toilet. Plus he's pushing 60.
Richards blowing up was a big surprise for me, he's the last person you'd expect to pull something like this. Kind of reminded me when sportscaster Marv Albert was busted for putting on women's lingerie and participating in bisexual sex.
I think there's less to this story than meets the eye.
Maybe he's trying to become the reincarnation of Andy Kaufman. This has all been an amazing satire. - Hmmm, I kind of doubt it.
