The Michael Richard’s “Racial Tirade”
Michael Richard’s “Racial Tirade”? Is this freedom of speech? A comment on this and other public displays of racialism.
Jews, not allowed to teach at white colleges, found themselves teaching at black colleges, who welcomed these great Jewish intelligences, and because of that history there’s an intermingling of Jewish and African wisdom systems, if not racial intermingling. Don’t forget that history.
In fact, wisdom system intermingle all the time even when people don’t. Don’t forget that history.
So is this also a tirade?
Most men don’t mind telling women the most vile sentiments they have of women for centuries, and women still continue with their men, running around in circles for them to prove themselves.
Many women, per feminism, don’t mind telling men the most vile sentiments that women have of men and men still continue to try to prove themselves, running around in circle for women also, and for centuries.
We’re still all running around in circles to prove ourselves to each other.
Personally, I’d suggest that Jews don’t have to prove themselves to anybody anymore, nor to blacks, nor do Latinos, nor do men, nor do women, nor do foreign-language speakers.
Everybody should know everybody else by now and if we don’t we have the Andy Rooneys, the Michael Richards, the Mel Gibsons, and members of our own various tribes who don’t mind telling us.
I don’t mind saying that I thought Mario Lopez is a greatest dancer than Emmitt Smith. That doesn’t mean I’m anti-black, however.
As for racism, racism is a social-psychological problem that needs to be dealt with. Apology doesn’t deal with it.
Anti-Semites can apologize to Jews for centuries, anti-blacks can apologize to blacks for centuries, anti-immigrants can apologize to immigrants for centuries, that doesn’t deal with the social-psychological problems that we all participate in.
Sinbad speaking against Michael Richards admitted that we’re all racists. Good for this African American comic. We’re all racists, and it’s time to admit this and to deal with this problem internationally.
The current American war is also a racist war. Most American wars have been racist wars. Deal with that.
But not just American wars. Deal with that.
We talk freedom of the press. Many of these sentiments are suppressed, but every now and then someone in the public arena, like Jesse Jackson and his–let’s use the Spanish–Jaime Town, so the Latinos can ask Mr. Jackson to apologize.
Sinbad is correct, this is a problem that all human beings share and participate in and need to correct.
