You didn't mean to but you did and you're doing something I spoke against a few posts ago, failing to see the general and apply it to the specific. Your question has essentially been answered a few times in this thread already. But here goes the last time:

Until the race, class, and gender status quo is completly eliminated on a societal level, which is a huge feat, any shifts in the status quo are temporary and small scale. That goes for untapped power or untapped beer cans.

Now, about those unicorns ...

I knew a unicorn that hated a leprechaun. It tried to keep a leprechaun from being served at a local eatery. The leprechaun nonchalantly said "I'm rich, bitch" and went on to the next eatery.

lol, That is my kind of leprechaun. Even more so if that next eatery was leprechaun-owned.

He is a racist, the end.

Most eateries are leprechaun-owned.

But considering unicorns only show up when there are virgins around, how much power can a unicorn ever have, really, unless he's hanging out at Oral Roberts U or something.

I'm sorry I won't be able to make it to your imaginary wedding, but I'm really busy that day. I already have a unicorn baptism and a leprechaun bar mitzvah.

Leprechauns have their weaknesses as well, such as their addiction to gold and rainbows.

Wait, like the Mobile Leprechaun? Who could've been a crackhead, who got ahold of the wrong stuff?

DSTCHAOS · #**101** 11-28-2006, 03:54 PM

Have you all not learned from the Geico Caveman commercials?

I apologize for all of the unicorns and leprechauns who may be reading this board. We did not mean to offend you.

I do not believe that Michael Richards is racist. I believe he is someone with an anger problem and used words he knew would cut the deepest against someone he at which he wanted to get back. I have seen and experienced racism at its finest. This too me wasn't racism, but rather ignorance.

I also don't see where not buying the 7th season of Seinfeld DVD has anything to do with this. Jesse is overreaching, imo.

I believe it has gotten too much press and hype and I do believe that Richards is truly sorry.

I didn't sense that the laughter on Letterman had anything to do with him using Afro American. imo it was because he looked like he was in character and about to do a Kramerism. The audience wasn't sure if this was serious or a joke--and I didn't either until Jerry said it isn't funny.

I agree.

I also think it's dumb for there to be litigation over this. There are lessons to learn from this, whether it be about anger management or race. What doesn't need to be learned/reminded is that people are opportunists who will claim injury as a result of words just for the hell of it. The man is seeking resolution for whatever reasons and suing him does nothing but reinforce a litigous society.

I think people throw around the word "ignorant" too much. It wasn't an ignorant thing to say, it was a hateful and heat of the moment thing to say. Obviously the content was racial, but I'm not sold on him being a racist either. I'm sure there are people who in a heated argument with their gay best friend may go "you faggot!" but I don't think that makes them a homophobe, it just means they were going for the lowest possible blow at the time.

I think there is only one way to resolve this: CAGE MATCH!!!!!!!!!!!
Works every time...
