Get ready for more

But now let’s play Devil’s advocate. Even though there is no reason to and no argument for his behavior. Is Los Angeles a racist city? Does the necessity of stereotyping and racial profiling that comes with the terrority in the casting process in Hollywood contribute to the attitude of the people in the city? Couple that with one of the most diverse racial/ethnic mixes of people in the country, and a whole slew of cultural confusion because of it, and what do you get? Racism. However, most of it is harmless and simple misunderstanding. Michael Richards’ outburst was not. It was flat out racist and very, very sad. Sad for everybody involved.

The state of racism is improving in this country, but I think it’s safe to say, the process is going to take a lot longer than we all think…and it starts with the media.

OK. Great you say. “Whatever YouTube Roast. You are an idiot.” Ok, that’s cool if you think that. Let’s show Michael Richards apology on the Letterman show, even though no apology will ever help what he did.

See? Just as uncomfortable. Well I for one, don’t believe Micheal Richards is a racist, as unpopular as that comment sounds. But, I do believe he has some major racial issues and some very sick demons deep inside that he needs therapy for. It’s messed up. It’s inexcusable. But maybe, in a totally f-ed up way, our country needed this. Racism is sugar coated in this country. Everybody tries to be PC and say what is right all the time. We “act” as if everything is cool. We are lead to believe that it somehow, racism hardly exists now, but it does. It does, very much so. And it’s not limited to a particular race. It’s not one-sided. It goes against, blacks, whites, hispanics, asians, middle easterners…everybody. And it won’t stop until we all, as a people, decide to learn from the past, but stop living in it. What our ancestors in this country did, in regards to race, is what it is. It’s over. We can’t change it. We can’t even make up for it. It’s a new day. It’s time for everybody to move on and focus on the racial issues at hand TODAY, and what steps we can take to improve them. Improvement comes first, then, hopefully, someday we will be closer to a solution. Until then, everybody go home for Thanksgiving, enjoy a good meal with your hopefully non-racist family, and say a prayer for Michael Richards, the victims of his tirade and everybody. Praying isn’t one-sided either ya’ll. We all need help.

I’m not even going to try to rate these videos.
