KRAMER APOLOGIZES ON THE LATE SHOW

Tuesday, November 21, 2006

Michael Richards aka Kramer talked with David Letterman (via satellite) yesterday to try and clean up his now fucked up image. Of course he delivered a weak-ass apology and talked about how he lost his temper or some shit. Sorry homie, your true colors came out that night.

And why is that audience laughing so much? This is far from funny.

Judah,
I don’t think I said “nigger” means ignorant.

Your post was very good and thoughtful. To me the word is just no good. That is jmo.
I did not grow up hearing this word used in my house or on my block and when anyone did talk about its use, it was seen as very bad. My post was to ask the question why is it used between black people and it seems to be ok.

@213 bill what you gonna do about it??????

Bill Said:
Bill Said:

I think that the Black Race should BOYCOTT all NON Black Products & Content on BLACK FRDAY, November 24, 2006!!!

The way to protest in 2006 is to have a ECONOMIC BOYCOTT of Products & CONTENT produced by NON BLACKS.

ONE of Our Black Leader(s) (Barack Obama, Floyd Flake, Jesse Jackson Jr) should make an announcement that in light of the Racist Statement made By Michael Richards, and the Racist Overtones that ABC Network is making by looking to produce a TV Show with a “Hip Hop Family” (what a horrible stereotype), that the Black Race has chosen BLACK FRIDAY, November 24,2006
To BOYCOTT Non Black Businesses !!

Blacks should decide to take ONE DAY and NOT purchase products from non blacks !

We can march & protest until we’re blue in the face…

Marching & Protesting doesn’t faze non blacks…They are laughing beyond our backs !!

The only TRUE way to protest and make a DENT is to have an ECONOMIC BOYCOTT of any product made by NON BLACKS !!!

Bill Said:

Well..What I doing right now is preparing a mass email that I’m going to send to Floyd Flake as well as members of my Fraternity (Kappa Alpha Psi) announcing a Economic Boycott that I would like take place on Black Friday, November 24, 2006 !

I personally didn’t get upset about that incident. It just goes to show that racism is still Alive and not going anywhere. I am glad to hear all the intelligent and honest responses from everyone. This is a great conversation piece for the CL group. The apology was mandatory as a PR “damage” control tactic. He probably meant it, but it would be suicide for Seinfeld without him having a thing to do with it.

Also, for those that feel all white people are racist, that is a serious generalization. I have several accounts of different white people that stepped up to help me out in the workplace whether it for a promotion or when I was going thru my brother’s death, whereas, the black co-workers and/or associates were not so giving.

Don’t go thru life thinking the worst of an entire race! They have good folx and bad just like our BLACK or African-American race! That’s real talk!

#213 Bill, Right on my brother!

LMAO @ #215!

For the ones who haven’t read this yet, this is an email that has been surfacing:

The KKK leader stepped to the podium, his hood lowered around his shoulders and a look of disgust on his face. He said, “Sorry guys but this will be our last meeting; we’re going out of business.”

A member stood up in back. “But why sir?”

The leader sighed, “Well, reverend, the niggers are doing a better job getting rid of themselves than we ever did, so we are no longer needed.”

There were rumblings and protest. The leader raised his hand to silence the Klan members, and said, “Their rap music says more vile things about black women than we ever thought of.”

The members grudgingly nodded in approval. The Imperial Dragon continued: ” And their women write books and make songs that demean black men better than my two speech writers ever could, looking down at two men seated in front who lowered their heads.

“They shoot each other constantly “, he continued;” And as a group, they spend a huge amounts of money on cars, liquor, that stuff they call bling bling, and the proliferation of rap music — as they talk about all that shit in their magazines — and nobody needs us to talk about how a lot of their sorry asses keep playing the race and victim cards while complaining that other groups are surpassing them in economic development and supposedly getting more attention in schools. Hell, they even support a so-called “Black Hair” DVD that a white man is making money on , in four sequels at $20.00 a pop, talking about how Koreans have taken over the “black hair” industry without acknowledging that Black entrepreneurs had 100 years to get a monopoly or intrenchment in the industry that Madam C.J Waker founded 100 years ago, but got out-hustled and out-strategized while spending investment capital elsewhere. Let’s face it, they’re being hoisted by their own petards.” ! ;

Some members went looking for dictionaries, while most members nodded as it hit them that their job was finished; that blacks had become their own worst enemy.

The leader shook his head. “It’s time to go back to our regular lives as policemen, judges and congressmen, and leave the business of getting rid of niggers to niggers. They are just better at it than us.”

He then threw his hood on the ground and walked off the stage. Thus ended the last KKK meeting.

You know what, I had alot of respect for this guy until I saw and heard what he said at that show. When an individual gets upset and emotional they say things from their heart, things that they would not say had they not been heated up. I have gotten upset with a co-worker who was white and I called her a bitch, because in my heart that’s how I felt about the bitch. But I didn’t call her a racial profanity because I don’t carry those views on my heart.

Is he a racist? You know what, he thinks and believes he’s not, but in truth he is a closet racist. White folks refer to minorities with racist terms and disrespect in the form of jokes and conversation in private all the time. I’m guessing that, that audience was mostly white, I mean come on we’re not buying tickets to see this cornball. He made those comments because he knew he could with that audience. I would even go so far and say that he even thought it would get lots of laughs. If it had been a very mixed audience with more minorities than white, and a black man shouted out your not funny, this punk would not have said what he said because he would have been murdered.

His appology. WTF, This punk gives an appology on Letterman, which I think was not sincere, and was pushed on him by the Sienfeld guy. He talks about katrina. First of all katrina hit a population of whites, blacks, and other minorites, not just black. So you contributed to katrina aid, that does not prove your not a racist and you didn’t mean every word you said. Because you did. He should have stayed his ass at home and saved that half-ass I’m sorry.

Holla at me!

This is the first and last comment imma make about this cuz this gets me too heated. How the hell do you go on stage talking about turnin a nigger upside down and shoving a fork up his ass? That takes a deeply, deeply disturbed and RACIST(YES YOU ARE A RACIST) person to say those things. Like the man said in the audience..that was uncalled for. I’m sure that if it was a white kid who said some stuff about u on stage u wouldnt go off calling him a cracker now would u? And the apology was lacking. You said all that and then u wanna come up on Letterman giving half-assed apologies? I wanna see ur ass on Oprah.

I do love the Lord and I’m all about forgiveness but Im not ready to forgive that until he gives me a good reason. He’s only “sorry” cuz he got caught. Who knows how many other times he’s said that stuff at parties and what not. It makes me physically ill that this is still going on. Hate because of what people look like. It’s disgusting.

the only reason the studio audience was laughing is b/c they thought it was a joke.. they obviously didn’t hear about what he did @ the Laugh Factory…

When they found out it was for real you didn’t hear no one laughin right? exactly…

Letterman was jus givin him the chance to clear the air, but my dude should go on Oprah or somethin… cuz he was asked some tough questions but Oprah would tear his ass aparttt ! & I think that’s what he needs…

& also, I don’t htink he realized he was bein recorded.. cuz the only video I been seein is the same one from a cell phone…. he def didn’t realize he was bein recorded.. but I’m glad he was & I’m glad that person posted it.. they should of sold that shit for some money!

IF IT DON’T APPLY LET IT FLY.

I DON’T GIVE A DAMN WHAT HE SAID, BECAUSE I AM NOT A NIGGER.

AND IF WE AS BLACK PEOPLE WANT OTHER RACES TO RESPECT US THEN WE FRIST HAVE TO RESPECT OURSELVES.

TOO MANY OF US ARE CALLING EACH OTHER NIGGA AND IT IS CONFUSING THINGS.

THAT USED TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE DID AMONGST EACH OTHER,

BUT EVER SINCE RAPPERS STARTED PUTTING IT ALL IN THEIR SONGS NOW EVERYONE FEELS LIKE THEY CAN SAY IT.

SO IT’S OUR FAULT THAT ALL THESE OTHER RACES FEEL LIKE THEY CAN JUST THROW THE WORD AROUND,

BECAUSE SOME OF OUR BLACK ENTERTAINERS GAVE THEM PERMISSION TOO BY OVER USING THE WORD WAY TO MUCH IN THEIR WORK.

WE NEED TO GET ONE ACCORD AND DECIDE WHAT WE WANT:

ARE WE GOING TO BAN USAGE OF THE WORD ALTOGETHER

OR ARE WE GOING TO TOLERATE, LIKE IT IS ANY OTHER WORD?

WE NEED TO MAKE UP OUR MINDS.

whatever! many people aslways get so angry about someone calling us the N word but if we continue as a people, as a race to call each other the N word, why shoud we be so upset about it. personally i choose not to call anyone or say the N word for that matter because i believe that it will not justify the work that our ansestors put in to make sure that we were respected as a people (a race). look at how far we’ve come along in this world and the things that we’ve accomplished but yet we continue to use this word so casually and challenge anyone that’s not of our race to use it. We need to stand together and respect one another before we can continue to be upset about these kinds of things. Yes, I believe that he was wrong for what he did and I feel disrespected but i’m more disrespected when my own race reefr to one another by this word. when he chose to show his true self on stage that was a reminder that there are still people out there that don’t respect us as a race nor give a damn about us so we need to do better about respecting one another. and that’s all to it…peace

I don’t think he can say or do anything that will make up for what he did. He just needs to go into hiding for the next 30 - 40 years. That was the wrong place to do an apology anyway. He should have went to an evening news station like nbc, cbs, abc, or larry king and gotten grilled and took the heat for what he did. They were laughing and clapping like the shit he did was bad, but he’s a good person since he gave a weak ass apology.

272.

Cookiez

Tuesday, November 21, 2006 /

First of all, for him to drop the N bomb not only once but damn near a dozen times, maybe even more automatically gives the people he disrespected the right of way to give his ass a beatdown. Secondly, if they said you werent funny……shit you werent. Its understandable for a comedian whose work has been insulted to be angry but to call those who paid to see your weak ass show and because they simply told you the truth about your performace ,to turn around and call them “niggers”???? WTF. I agree with everybodys comments and it just shows that racism is still alive and kicking whether its whites hating blacks, vice versa, or even americans hating arabs and etc.Whether kramer he gives a damn good apology and even shows up on Oprah his career is OVER. Point blank..Besides he’s obviously not sorry because he had the obppurtunity to apolgize the same night, he had the oppurtunity to apoligize the next day when he performed again, but he didnt, if he was not truly racist or had racist views,those words would never even cross his lips. But its obvious that he is and does…..There is no excuse, should have saved the weak ass apology and put a damn hood on. he would have gotten more respect from me at least…

Lol, this is the first time I’ve gotten a chance to see the Letterman apology, lmao. At 5:55 of the clip, it looks like Seinfeld can’t hold it in any longer and wants to start laughing but he knows the jig will be up.

TRANSCRIPT OF PRE-LETTERMAN CONVERSATION BETWEEN SEINFELD, LETTERMAN, AND “KRAMER”:

LETTERMAN: “What are we gonna do about this bullshit with Mike and the niggers.”

SEINFELD: “I’m gonna call him right now because I’m about to release some new products for the holiday season and I can’t have this nigger shit fuckin’ with my sales. The niggers love my show even though I never had any of them on there and they’re the biggest consumers. I’m not gonna let him fuck up my money. Not wth Nigger Friday comin’ up.”

LETTERMAN: “Let’s call him now with me and you on the line and we’ll go over what he’s gonna say later tonight.”

SEINFELD: “Alright….(calls Michael Richards)”

MICHAEL RICHARDS: “HEY JER…did you see me rip the niggers a new one on the news. I told you guys, I told ya I was gonna do it. Fuckin’ niggers heckle me?!”

SEINFELD: “Yeah Mike I saw it. It was funny especially that bit about the fork, but what the fuck were you thinkin’. These niggers are dumb as fuck, you don’t call them “nigger” to their face anymore. C’mon man….not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

LETTERMAN: “Look, I can’t stay on the phone long. Look Mike, come on the show via satellite for 10 minutes and apologize to the niggers so we can move on. Lord knows it doesn’t take much for these niggers to forget.

MICHAEL RICHARDS: “Look, I didn’t apologize to the niggers the day after I told them what I thought of ‘em, and I’m not gonna do it now. FUCK ‘EM. I went back to that same club and spit more fire. The club is only stoppin’ me from comin’ there because the shit is out in the open. The owner said I can come back around next March.”

SEINFELD: “Look, I agree, but you’re fuckin’ with MY MONEY NOW. Nobody fucks with my money…not over some nigger shit. We’re gettin paid from fuckin’ reruns man…you do that standup for fun. Take it easy. Adopt an African or somethin’. We’re all doin’ it. They’re like dogs for the 21st century. Go date a black chick and say that you’ve always dated black chicks. They’ll still date you. Me and Timberlake had a good laugh about it yesterday. You start stuttering on the show, me and Dave will jump in and say something. For god’s sakes by Friday the niggers will be arguing for you saying that you had the right to use that word because they do. You know how much they hate each other.”

LETTERMAN: “Yeah, c’mon Mike…no more than 10 minutes tops.

MIKE RICHARDS: “5 FUCKIN’ MINUTES!!!! Fuckin’ niggers….”

SEINFELD: “5 minutes and me and Dave will chime in and make it 6 and change. Throw in some shit on Katrina or somethin’. Make the niggers think we care. Say you’ll donate some money to the NAACP. The money’s comin’ right back to us anyway.”

MIKE RICHARDS: “Alright, fuck it…I just don’t know how I’ma keep from laughin’.”

SEINFELD & LETTERMAN (simultaneously): “ME NEITHER…”

SEINFELD: “Alright guys I gotta go….on 3″

ALL 3 SIMULTANEOUSLY: “THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CUT OFF THE WHITE MAN!!!!”

That was f*cked up what Krammer said, but lets keep it real peopl it is what it is. He’s not the only racist mutha f*cker that said their comments about African American people and try to apologize afterwards. The part that Im most upset about, is the fact that he apologized knowing he really didn’t mean it. It was just something to shut up all the noise about him expressing his true feelings towards African American people. But its safe though ever dogg has its day.

SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE BEAT THAT IGNORANT A– WHITE-BOY DOWN RIGHT THERE ON STAGE.I’M TIRED OF WHITE PEOPLE THINKING THEY CAN JUST KEEPING DISRESPECTING BLACK PEOPLE AND NOTHING BE DONE ABOUT IT. HE IS A SORRY PIECE OF SH-T IN MY BOOK AND I WILL NEVER WATCH ANY SHOW THAT HE IS A PART OF AND HELL YEAH THAT INCLUDES SEINFELD. HE CAN NEVER APOLOGIZE TO ME FOR WHAT HE SAID BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT MEAN A THING TO ME.HE’S NOT SORRY THAT HE SAID IT, JUST THAT HE IS BEING CALLED ON ABOUT IT AND I WILL NEVER LET THIS DIE. AS FOR ANY BLACK PERSON ON HERE WHO SAYS THEY WERE NOT OFFENDED THEN YOU ARE JUST A IGNORANT AS THAT FOOL BECAUSE ALL THE GREAT BLACK PIONEERS SACRIFICE SO MUCH SO THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS KIND OF STUFF AND IT’S A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THEM ALL WHEN WE JUST LOOK THE OTHER WAY.AS A GREAT MAN ONCE SAID: THOSE WHO STAND FOR NOTHING WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING…

Great comment #112
I work with white people. Lots of white people. And I heard them talking about all of this and before walking into the break room and chilled out and listened before they could see me.

I heard very FEW stating that it was actually wrong. One person said its understandable being that they man was interrupting him.

Another person said: they are loud.

Lastly before I walked into the room a man said: what was he supposed to do.

THE AUDIENCE WAS LAUGHING BECAUSE THEY KNEW LIKE I KNEW THE APOLOGY WAS A LOAD OF BULL; HOW CAN U CALL YOURSELF APOLOGIZING TO AFRICAN AMERICANS AND SAY “AFRO AMERICANS”, HE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE SAID COLOREDS. HE JUST NEEDS TO GO HIDE UNDER A ROCK, AND I BET IF THE COMMENTS WERE ANTISEMITIC JERRY SEINFELD WOULDN’T BE TRYING TO DEFEND HIS IGNORANCE!

Don’t fool yourselves people…that audience was laughing because they didn’t see the harm in what the bigot said and they found it further humorous that he referred to blacks as “AFRO-American”. There were a bunch of people who obviously shares his views on the matter. Remember it was the David Letterman show. Racism is so alive and kicking that it’s sickening. One only needs to go to a news story (regarding blacks)on yahoo or Aol and go into the discussion forums and you’ll find post after post of ugly sick postings from ignorant, uneductated racists.

THIS S*IT MAKES ME SO MAD.

FIRST OF ALL BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO STOP BLAMING THEMSELVES FOR WHAT THEY’VE FAILED TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE 50 YRS OR SO THAT THEY’VE HAD TO FIX 400+ YEARS OF PROBLEMS. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE LETS YOU VOTE (AND EVEN THAT ISSUE IS A DEBATABLE ONE AT BEST THESE DAYS) DOESN’T MEAN THAT WE’RE ALL “EQUAL” NOW AND IT’S ALL GOOD. IT WILL TAKE MANY MORE MORE GENERATIONS FOR MANY THINGS TO EVEN OUT (IF THEY EVER DO)
FOR GOD’S SAKE, APARTHEID STILL EXISTED IN SOUTH AFRICA A FEW YEARS AGO. (DURING ALL OF OUR LIFETIMES) TODAY THEY HOLD UP SOUTH AFRICA AS A PLACE WHERE RACISM HAS BEEN DEFEATED AND WHERE PROSPERITY REIGNS IN AFRICA WHEN IN REALITY THE BLACK PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN SLUMS WHILE THE WHITE PEOPLE THERE ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF YEARS AND YEARS OF A SYSTEM THAT BENEFITED ONLY THEM.
AND IF SOMEONE ELSE BRINGS UP THAT CRAP ABOUT NIGGA/NIGGER AGAIN, I’M GOING TO FLIP! WHITE PEOPLE KNOW BETTER. I’LL NAME MY CHILD NIGGER SMITH IF I WANT BUT THEY SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO SAY THAT SHIT TO US.
AFTER ALL, I AND MY FOREFATHERS WEREN’T THE ONES HANGING PEOPLE UPSIDE DOWN WITH A FORK IN THEIR ASS. SINS OF THE FATHER PEOPLE. THEIR VERY OWN BIBLE SAYS THAT SHIT.

Some of the people from the first show were invited to the next show so he could apologize which he didn’t do….that’s why he was banned from performing at the comedy club. That speaks volumes to me. He didn’t apologize cause he didn’t feel like he did anything wrong. At the end of the day, all he did was speak his mind. Stupid ass!!! That too late too little piece of shit apology on Lettermans show was a joke. I hope his fellow actors and comedians make him feel the same way the black folks hanging upside down with the forks felt.

I think that OJ mess brought out the inner racist in a whole lot of white people, seriously. For like the past week, every white person I have been around has had a massive chip on their shoulder. You can take a perfectly “liberal” white person and mention OJ Simpson and they will flip out f’real.

His assertion that he’s not a racist is beyond insulting. In the future, I’m sure he’ll seek stand-up gigs at KKK rallies! I just hope that black people continue to talk about it. Make all the closet racist whites really nervous. Political pundits said that Bill Bennett would never work in media again after his ‘final solution’ for blacks slipped out on his radio show. Well, I’ve since seen that piece of filth on CNN multiple times as a pundit. If Richards had spewed his vile remarks about Jews, Asians, or Mexicans, the mainstream media would be considerably harder on him because those groups stick together no matter what! If we had more visible, pro-black men like Malcolm X, whites would be too fearful to try mess like this.

I am a white girl. And I think he meant those nasty things he said. If you never think or say those things, they’re not going to “accidentally” pop to the surface in a moment of passion. So obviously he’s said what he feels. I am not racist towards anyone. I cannot imagine even thinking anything like what he said. I bet he is sorry…sorry for himself & how this could affect him. Sorry that he got caught. And scared that he knows he can’t really deny it because he’s an ignorant racist.

I cannot believe this white bastard goes up there and blatantly disrespected blacks and then tried to apologize. His apology is a slap in the face because its a damn lie who is he fooling.He is and always will be a fucking racist.Man I tell you if I was at that show he was at it would not been pretty. He would have a lot more to deal with than heckling what a fucking asshole! He know good and well that was some pent up shit he had inside of him he is nothing but a S.o.B.

Crazy white and Italian fans yell out rudes things all the time towards athletes and hardly ever get the blame. Its always harder on our race because “where not supposed to act out” even when harshly direspected. This is not slavery times so there is not “putting one in their place” yes that black man could have been acting ignorant….but not as ignorant as that white man! He crossed the line and went beyond by going after a entire race. Like I said before There’s no defending this man, I don’t care how many people watch his boring show. Stop trying to put the blame on the man in the audience! He’s not the one on stage ranting about lynchings and blacks hanging from a tree. Open your eyes! This is only the beginning, if we don’t stand up and fight against this kind of hate and rage things will get worse for us; Believe it or not he still has fans, and I heard alot of racial slurs come out of their mouths Right after dude started saying dumb ish on stage. Now if this man happens to still feel this way (which is most likely the case) we probably have another hate group on our hands. We have too much going on in the world to be fighting each other (Americans)…….And for the oddest reasons, you know what scratch that ALL OF IT IS DUMB! Alot of white people are saying the black man deserved to be called names, and that black comedians do things like this all the time. Give me a break! White comedians do it all the time too. But NONE of the comedians go this far! At the end of the day white people go home and don’t worry about what currupt policemen is going to stop them for good reason at all to search a black person cars and send them to jail (I know its hard for you whites to believe but their out their) or just the world having both eyes on you just because of the color of you skin. Not all black people are innocent, but it the EXACT same with whites, they just get away with alot because of their skin color. Its real stupid! All because of you skin color. They should mark white people who get tans, their lips, butt and cheeks enhanced. Yet you try so much not to be like us……..I sorry but I pity most of the white race who try so hard to change God’s plan. God doesn’t represent hate! And whether it be verbally or physically it CAN’T be in the name of God. And can someone please give me a logical reason why whites would burn a cross or black church? I’m not sure if its going on now but I never understood that. But everything was pretty dumb back when slaver still existed. People can act real dumb alot of the time. I can only feel bad for this man Kramer because he sees a group of black people and assume we behave like them. Not only that those insults…..WERE HARSH! Those were not jokes, just harsh insults.

There are many times when I am ashamed of whites. I will never me defend hate or racism. God made everybody. He made everyone to be respected regardless of what they look like. I don’t understand racism & never will but unfortunately it very definitely exists. And people like Kramer make this blatantly clear.

I don’t care WHAT the heckler said first, there is no excuse for Kramer’s response. And no one should be blaming the heckler at all…for anything. Comedians put up with hecklers all the time. Its part of the game.

Afro-American is not a racist term. That was the new classification for “black folks” that grew out of the Black Power movement in the 70s.

Frankly, I just wish there were two classifications: white and colored/coloured because it would eliminate all of these subtleties that people use that would justify why their race or ethnicity is better than the other. It would also prevent bi-racial/ multi-racial individuals from having to choose one race or mark “Other” because you would simply be mixed or colored. Unfortunately, the government would never let that happen because of the economic and political power that would accrue if people just simply said, “You know what, I’m colored/coloured”. And yes, I know “white” people are an mixture of other ethnicities as well, so the criteria for being “colored” would apply to them as well.

I really don’t see why we are angry, for we have brought this on ourselves. Comedians use nigger in their stand-up routines, rappers been dropping this word for a minute, hell even Damon Wayans applied for a patent to trademark the derivative, nigga to put on T-shirs so people could proudly display this word on their chest while walking down the street. All this time we could have been boycotting these “entertainers”, but we collectively support them. So all of this hoopla is really retroactive; time to be PROACTIVE.

I hope that most of you don’t subscribe to the statements being made about “nigga” and “nigger” being JUST WORDS, and only the intent matters, blah, blah, blah. Because of the painful history behind the word, it should not be acceptable to say it any matter. That is what happens when ignorant, depraved, people sully the meaning of words. I too know the etymology behind nigger, but COMMON SENSE WOULD DICTATE THAT I WOULD NOT SAY IT NOR NIGGA EITHER BECAUSE OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY.

We are the only race of people willing to make excuses to be denigrated, because partially we do it to ourselves. I know this is cliche, but true: I am part Native American and I would LOVE TO WEAR A SWASTIKA around my neck? Why? It is not because I am a neo-Nazi, it’s because that symbol originally was a sign of good luck (prosperity)in Asian and Native American (some of who migrated from Asia) culture. That was the reason that Hitler adopted the symbol for the Nazi Party. However, I know the history of hate and pain behind the symbol, which is very offensive to the Jewish culture. Therefore, I will not wear it EVEN IF MY INTENT IS BENIGN BECAUSE I HAVE COMMON SENSE. The Jews abhor that symbol, but don’t get it twisted, some know what it originally meant before Hitler perverted it. I encourage us black people to do the same with these words as well. Hell, Hispanics/Latinos will never say the word “negro” do describe someone’s coloring unless it is pejorative because of how history has perverted that word. If you are dark, even to the point of midnight blue-black, THE RESPECTFUL ONES WILL CALL YOU MORENO/MORENA IN THE SAME BREATH AS SOMEONE WHO IS REDBONE OR HIGH YELLOW.

This incident will be forgotten because we generally speaking do not respect our history, nor truly make efforts to understand it to mobilize ourselves politically and economically. After this Justin Timberlake/ Janet Jackson tift, how can we be surprised at this?

^ You see thats the closemindedness I’m talking about. Blacks and Whites are so quick to say we did it to ourselves, when in fact in is those who do nothing about this type of discrimination who are to blame. Those who let this kind of hate (or worse..viplent behaviors) slide so that maybe we can forget about it later on and things will get better. This kind of hate will never settle down if no ones stands up for what they believe is RIGHT & WRONG! Letting it go won’t make it go away….in fact, it only adds more fuel to the flame. We don’t necessary have to do Anything to a white person to piss them off…..thats a known fact. So you can let it go if you want, but I surey won’t. Peace!
