DSTS, I don't care if they want my validation or not, if you throw it out into the public arena, you don't get to decide who gets to talk about it. The reason I say black leaders is because thats generally what they're called. I would say I'd call them whatever term you prefer, but I frankly don't care what one person chooses to get huffy about.
Also, if I were to say "you people" I wouldn't be referring to black people, I'd be referring to anyone who decides that one guy's demeaning rant should now be the central focus of everything in America. Maybe GreekChat should just invent a new feature which locks white republican guys out of threads where the topic is bitching about white folks. That might help everyone.

It's not about caring if they want it. Like I said, some white people just insert themselves because they automatically assume their opinion and validation are needed. Public arena or not.

I never asked you for that so it's fantabulous that you don't care. Once again, what you say or do won't add any more or less credibility to my stance.

This is a dumb attempt at whatever you were attempting. Certainly you don't propose that white republicans (who are males) would all agree with you on everything you've ever typed about race on GC. But if the only thing you've gotten from such discussions is "bitching about white folks" then I suggest that we're back to where I started with you: We don't need you to understand or to validate.

I'm not sure what Jews had to do with this, but it's great that some of you brought it up in this thread and in the one in the Entertainment forum. Really, no biases of any sort is evident in those comments.
And I'm sure his racist comments justified comments such as "Cracker" and "White boy" as well.
Look at this Jewish girl from Uganda...she is racist against blacks.
Look at these Jewish girls from India...they are racist against blacks.
It would be great if for once you brought up Hispanics or Chinese people out of nowhere in a thread about racism.

Jews by ethnicity and Jews by religious affiliation--you can be one without the other.
The relevance of Richards being Jewish is that 50 years ago some Jews were slain in the name of antisemitism. There were signs on some restaurants that said "No Jews or dogs." So if a Jewish person forgets where she or he comes from and spews hatred toward minority groups, that person has clearly forgotten a time when Jews hadn't assimilated and weren't considered "white." They were barely considered human.

There has been debate as to whether or not he's Jewish so if he isn't, I'm glad that's cleared up.

I think because he played a primary character on Seinfeld, everyone assumes he was Jewish... Just saying... I have no comment on dude's religious affiliation and really don't care that much.
Aside from that:
Interesting the black folks in the audience where Michael Richards had ranted and spewed his venomous epithets said they plan to sue him.
It'll probably turn into a civil suit and some folks will make a little money focusing on lunatic...

It matters not one bit. What makes people think he's Jewish? The big nose and curly hair? Bias. Hate. Ignorance. Call it what you want, but those that live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones.
Still waiting on someone to address the fact that someone was racist and called him a Cracker and a White Boy.
