c-span is great. I'm surprised more people to give it a shout out.0 -
This is exactly the type of hypocrisy and double-standard I was refering to, in the original Michael Richards thread.
I remember seeing this video quite a while ago. About a year ago, I believe.
Now let's see how many of these PCers get upset about this guy's comments.

There's no double standard. Michael Richards is a celebrity...this mumu-wearin' loon isn't. Nobody is interested in what an unknown loon thinks or says....that doesn't get people glued to the news. There are thousands of white loons just like him walking around in white sheets and burning crosses...you hardly ever see them on tv, and when you do, it's on channels like CSPAN.0 -

That's true. Wayne's World hosted a debate between David Duke and Farrakhan last week. Very heated, but educational.0 -

Does anyone remember Sister Soulja? It was probably the early 1990s so there was no blogosphere, but the shit hit the fan when one of her songs said something related to the idea that blacks should stop killing each other and kill white people. There was a lot of uproar. Can blacks get away with more? Perhaps. But not everything.
And, as you mention, she was an entertainer (who was never as famous as Kramer). Right or wrong, everthing entertainers do gets more attention that things done by almost anyone else.I cannot come up with a new sig till I get this egg off my face.0 -
im not famous. can i go on c-span and say the same shit about exterminating black people?you're a real hooker. im gonna slap you in public.

Sweet Jesus!! What a vile and completely delusional person!If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Oh right, like anyone here wouldn't be disgusted about some guy telling people to kill all white people. Get a grip.If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Just on this site alone, look at the difference in response (activity) regarding this and the outcry, outrage and heavy activity of the original Michael Richards incident thread.
Ultimately, it's not about questioning whether people are disgusted or not; it's about how people are reluctant to equally express outrage and speak out, when a black person does it.0 -
Clearly, the mainstream media would neverpay attention to this guy or his commments. Who is he anyway? He's powerless and using the same diatribe that some in the The Nation is Islam have used in their lectures. When most blacks see these guys talk, most of us laugh it off to lunacy. Don't worry white folk, my black brothers and sisters are not unified enough to get anykind of movement going with this nutjob at the helm. We need to take care of ourselfs first and learn how to get along with one other. That would be a good start.I was bitten, must have been the devil.....

I think it has more to do with this guy being a nobody who is obviously crazy. There's are plenty of wacked out racists of all colors but they didn't star in one of the biggest shows of our time. I don't think the whole Richard's mess should have been blown out of proportion the way it was, either. But I can understand why he would draw more attention.If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
