Lets talk about GIVE and TAKE for a Moment IN RELATION TO THIS ONGOING ISSUE..
SHORT SUMMARY OF AMERICAN HISTORY…European Explorers trying to reach India Sail West and runs into Norh, South America… Native Americans welcome Europeans.. early equal GIVE and TAKE, leads to Europeans TAKING all Resources (land #1) and little to no GIVING, Native Americans GIVE welcome and equal treatment/ TAKES Death to low Numbers, Buffalo Bills Wild Side show, Reservation Baron Land and liquor (poison) from Conquering Europeans… Europeans Sail to Africa to exchange resources.. GIVE guns and amo, TAKE African labor from Africans (agreed exchange Africans selling/trading Africans).. Sail to North & South America, GIVE African labor to European land owner (taken land)/ TAKE currency (sold like livestock).. African American GIVE – up all religion, language, culture, family members, sweat, mind, soul to work plantation/ TAKES Mental and Physical Abuse of whips, burnings, lynching, Police and Firemen Beatings, Slave title, torture, JimCrow laws, 3/5ths human label, N***r label, lazy label, forced religion.. (forced, no choice..)..NOW, Today Children of European American Ancestors GIVE ideas, inventions, innovation, research, contributions to society (ALL DUE TO–>)/ TAKE Land, Old money, family knowledge, institutional Education knowledge, possitions of power and control in Professional positions Inheritance… Today Children of Native American ancestors GIVE Culture and knowledge/ TAKE Reservation poverty Inheritance.. Today Children of African American Ancestors GIVE ideas, Respect, culture, knowledge/ TAKE low level education, Gangs, Disrespect, Unbanished Slave title, Unbanished N***r title, Ghetto, Broken slave mind, hate for Skin color and all things Given Inherittance… NOW that being said.. Racist are those who have power to overpower.. The Term N***r was used by those in power, European American, to overpower African Americans Mentally… As you can see the effects are still evident today by the mere mention of the word.. What Michael Richards did was unexcusable Consciously, Unfortunately his Unconscious was just being it self as it was programmed to and will always be unless its reprogrammed!!!!!!!!! Apologizing is a step.. I would only wish that America would take the same steps, Take Responsibility of your History, not just the Good but also the Bad.. So we all can start moving in a healed positive direction.
.. ALWAYS QUESTION YOUR SELF, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR COUNTRY, YOUR PEERS, AND OTHERS AS TO HOW MUCH GIVING AND/OR TAKING IS BEING EXERCISED. Thank you for reading, Your Fellow Human Being.

“RPR, make up your mind. Either choose to hang out with race card hustlers OR condem them. But you canâ€™t do both credibly.”

I don’t blindly support someone simply because he is a minority. Not all African American politicians and civil right leaders merit respect.

I will never forgive Al Sharpton for how he runied a man’s reputation by falsely accusing him of raping Tawana Brawley.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson bring a lot of heat and bluster to the table, but they fail to shine a light on the issues.

Polish Knight, it’s racist of you to expect me to take the side of African American leaders on every issue.

And how the heck you brought the issue of undocmented workers into a discussion of Michael Richards’ racist rant is beyond me.

FYI: Latino are people native to Latin American countries. Would be some kind of “hop” to make it from Central or South America to the U.S.
I love how people mask their prejudices by trying to compose a somewhat articulate comment pointing out that the racist comments were short in duration there for justified? Also, the strange correlation that was made between M.Richards’ moronic stage tirade and “illegal latinos immigrants”.
Affirmative action = reparations? lol
I guess it’s a pretty heavy burden to bare being that most white males had a half century head start in terms of privilege, education, etc, in a foreign country being America. Not sure if most people know but the Affirmative action initiative did not only benefit people of color but Women yes believe it or not Women also deserve an equal playing field. Whew thats out my system. Jessie Jackson took it too far with the boycott; Michael Richards is an idiot and apparently some of the people who leave non factual comments are as well.

RPR, make up your mind. Either choose to hang out with race card hustlers OR condem them. But you can’t do both credibly.

Your logic brands Richards a racist because of a short provoked rant he made on a comedy club stage. That logic extended allows race-card exploiters to brand everyone he worked with also as racists. This is not unprecedented: White males whose family and ancestors may have had nothing to do with racism are expected to bear collective racial guilt through affirmative action reparations.

The same logic that you’ve used to pave the way for illegal Latino immigrants to hop the border into the U.S. and demand special privileges also allowed the Islamic clerics last week to protest being bumped from an airline flight for bizarre behaviour.

It’s called what goes around comes around. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

This is not the first time that this situation has been compared to a Seinfeld skit about politics and cultural situations becoming absurd. It won’t be the last.
