I think it's great that Richard's outburst provides an opportunity to discuss the inequality of race relations in favor of blacks. Racist or unscrupulous blacks often get a pass. First whites are just going to have to stop backing down in matters of principle and second to just stop kissing black ass. You don't have to be rude and if you know you're being treated unfairly, why take it when you only live once. Appeasing "black"mailers is a waste of your "life" time.

"It's an allusion to Christ."

You ASSUME that it is, nothing of the sort points to that.

The point that you;re making however, is equally as disturbing...you take offense at an imagined implication of a connection between this article and Christianity, and you immediately suggest that a word should not be used because you may be offended by it, AND EVEN IF IN FACT IT WAS AN ALLUSION TO CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION, the writer has a Constitutionally protected right to speak his mind.

People like you are dangerous.

You're nuts. I'm not violating this guy's constitutional rights. I've got just as much right to express my opinion as he does.

Now, imagine that a black man had done something such as winning a Chess tournament, and the commentator said something like "Man! He must have some white in him!!!"

You realize, don't you, that the best rapper in the US is white and the best golfer is black.

I think Richards was trying the "edgy comedian" bit, a la Andy Kaufman. When it went bad, he figured he'd just suck it up and apologize, not realizing the can of worms it would open. He should have just said it was an act, and stood by that no matter what anybody else said.

You suggested that he shouldn't use the word, and implied using the word crucifixion in this article is offensive to you because in your mind, it connects Kramer to Jesus; you're still arguing the point.

That's a way more direct connection to a suggestion of spousing the idea of violating someone's Constitutional right to freedom of speech, than the title of this article does to Jesus Christ.

BS. If so, then you're violating my constitutional rights by saying that I should not have said it. Maybe you should read the constitution.

You need to show me where I said that.

Show me where I said all the things you attribute to me.

You know, I think I must have hit a sore spot here. You just don't like Christians, do you?

Actually, the only thing I attibuted to you where your own words, and I wasn't the only one.

No, you insinuate that I don't like myself.

Get over it.

<< Nothing, (it has) NO spine. >>

Last time I checked Congress couldn't find enough 'white' racists to form a "White Caucus" of even one congresscritter.

(and all of the black and brown racists were already busy)
