I have to agree with some of the comments and say that it wasn’t so much of him calling them a ni****, it was about the lynching comment. Just the thought of our people hanging from trees brings tears to my eyes because it was real, and one of the many ways they dehumanized us and tortured us.

Now, the issue of the use of the word ni*** by blacks and everyone else, my thoughts may differ, but it is my opinion. I think that we somewhat are making people think its okay to use the word because we use it so often. All blacks know where the word came from and why it is offensive. But I think because of that we took the word from the originators and made it something positive to us. We don’t use the word to degrade ourselves, we use it to recognize our culture and not forget where we and the word came from. Instead of “My Brotha” we say “My Nigga” meaning friend or homie.

Things like that don’t just pop up spur of the moment he probably felt that way since he was born and as much as he may apologize, if he actually does, it wont be sincere most likely it will be for his career or at least whatever is left of it. And I’m sorry but if that was my club there would have been no way in hell that he could have preformed again the next night.

and if I was in the crowed forget about walking out on him i would have got on stage and showed him what a nigger is

@ #20, I agree with ya! That is how most white folks feel, they just know better than to express it.

He is such an ASS WIPE!

I wonder how long he’s been bottling up those EMOTIONS. Those are obviously his TRUE FEELINGS towards BLACK PEOPLE. I was never fond of him or the whole “FRIENDS” sitcom series “FAD”. People always said he was the funniest one on that show, I never saw where he was “funny”. He always act the fool–but was never “funny” to me.

an ASS WIPE, is what he is.

NEXT! (he is over & done)

DEAR CL RESPONDERS I LUV YA .
I JUST STARTED A BLOG ON TRYING TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS FOR SOME OF TODAYS PROBLEMS.

PLEASE CHECK OUT http://icecoldbrew.blog.com(it’s new so bear with me)

and maybe just maybe WE CAN GIVE OUR GOVERNMENT SOME real SOLUTIONS.
A LOT OF YOU SEEM TO HAVE REAL INTELEGENT ANSWERS?

YOUR OPINION DOES MATTER.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

This is a prime example of a racist asshole showing his true colors. He was not joking he was no trying to just shock people. He was angry and his real feelings came out. FUCK FIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He wouldn’t have gotten away with that shit at Jokes on us in Laurel, MD. He would definately got his ass beat.

The owners of the club also can suck a sick dick because his ass was right back on stage the next night!!!

To the white motherfuckers who kept laughing FUCK THEM TOO!!!

SORRY MEANT FUCK HIM NOT FIM LOL JUST PISSED! THIS IS GETTING PLAY IN THE MEDIA BUT NOT LIKE MEL GIBSON GOT WHY? BECAUSE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT JEWS AND THEY RUN THE MEDIA.

Damn!!! Dukesman got into Mischa’s ass…..

I never heard that one before…..ROFLMAO.

Dukesman you’re an intellectual asshole.

IT’S NOT HIS USE OF THE WORD “NIGGER” THAT BOTHERS ME. WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THE STATEMENT, “50 YEARS AGO YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN HUNG UPSIDE DOWN WITH A FORK IN YOUR ASS.”
THE REASON BEING, THAT’S WHERE HE WOULD PREFER TO HAVE BLACK PEOPLE. ENSLAVED OR DEAD. PREFERABLY DEAD.
THAT IS DEEP.
AND DON’T GET IT TWISTED, EVEN IF THEY DON’T WISH US DEAD AND EVEN IF THEY FEEL SORRY FOR US, THEY STILL THANK GOD EVERY DAY THAT THEY AREN’T “LIKE US” (WHATEVER THAT MEANS)
IT MAKES ME WANT TO NOT HAVE KIDS.

he was dead ass wrong for saying what he said see white people just don’t understand when they call us the n word it is different from when a black person say it us as black people we have went through a lot we have been beaten rape hung spit on i could go on and it all was done by a white person if you ever seen roots that a reason why they should not say it but really i think a lot of white people hate the fact that we are coming up and it is not like the ole days try some of that shit now how yall use to do black people that’s why more white people get sick and be in the hospital wanting to die but can’t because what there ancestors have done to our people you see god don’t like ugly

Alpha Kappa Alpha (ΑΚΑ) Sorority, Incorporated, formed in January 15, 1908 at Howard University, became America’s first Greek-letter organization established by Black college women, and remains a predominately African-American sorority. The sorority’s membership, however, includes women of Caucasian, Asian, and Hispanic descent. The sorority serves all mankind through a nucleus of more than 185,000 women in over 950 chapters located in the United States, the Caribbean, Germany, Korea and Japan. Alpha Kappa Alpha women can be found on every continent in the world.[citation needed]

Alpha Kappa Alpha cultivates and encourages high scholastic and ethical standards, promotes unity and friendship among college women, alleviates problems concerning girls and women, maintains a progressive interest in college life. The sorority is a member of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). Among the group’s current goals is to have an association that cuts across racial, international, physical, and social barriers to help individuals and communities develop and maintain constructive relationships with others.

[edit] History
The Howard University students were led by Ethel Hedgeman Lyle into creating the sisterhood of Alpha Kappa Alpha in 1908. Lyle was inspired by her then high school and college sweetheart George Lyle, a charter member the Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity at Howard in 1907.[1] She viewed the Sorority as an instrument for enriching the social and intellectual aspects of college life by providing mental stimulation through interaction with friends and associates. In 1912, a schism in the sorority led to twenty-two members leaving AKA in 1913 and founding the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.[2] Nellie Quander led the group which incorporated the sorority as a national body in 1912 and as a perpetual body in 1913.

[edit] Important members
The leadership of the sorority in its early year was derived from three separate groups—the original group, the sophomores and the incorporators, whose combination is well known as “The Twenty Pearls.”[3] The Executive Director position has been held by nine members since its creation in 1948.

[edit] Community service
Alpha Kappa Alpha has established programs which have had a direct impact for the African-American community. Members of Alpha Kappa Alpha are concerned with the plight of the Black community in relation was exemplied by its participation in the 1913 Women Suffragette March to its tireless work in eradicating lynching.

During the Great Migration, members assisted the Travelers Aid Society, helping Southern Blacks adjust to life in North, and volunteered at the Freedman’s Hospital. Alpha Kappa Alpha worked with the Mississippi Health Project providing education and books to rural areas, and began a Summer School for Rural Teachers offering courses for self-improvement.

The National Non-Partisan Council on Public Affairs was created as a means to lobby politicians. The onset of World War II inspired the council to institute the Direct War Services/Complete Victory/Post War Reconstruction program.

In the 1950s, Alpha Kappa Alpha joined the American Council of Human Rights and National Health Office, implemented programs on health, social action, scholarship, and undergraduate housing as it continued its directon into public service.

The 1960s and 1970s eras paved the path for the AKAs to sponsor job training, reading enrichment, heritage, and youth programs. By encouraging youth to improve math, science, and reading skills, the sorority continued its legacy of community service and its pledge to enrich the lives of others . Alpha Kappa Alpha’s high standards of excellence allows students in need and those who chose to study abroad to benefit from a fund created by AKA. Those same high standards stand today as evident in their current programs.

I’m a member of Kappa Alpha Psi (KAΨ) in case you didn’t know….

Michael Richards, best known as Kramer from Seinfeld, hurled racial epithets at black audience members who apparently heckled him during a standup show in L.A. on Friday night.

The Web site TMZ.com posted a video of the incident on Monday (click here to watch the video). It shows Richards, 57, taunting the men for interrupting his show. “Shut up! Fifty years ago we’d have you upside down with a f–ing fork up your a–,” he yells.

He paces the stage, then continues: “You can talk, you can talk, you can talk, you’re brave now mother–. Throw his a– out. He’s a n–!”

Richards then screams the n-word four more times while pointing to the hecklers in the balcony, drawing uncomfortable murmurs from the crowd. The two sides continue to trade insults, and then Richards eventually leaves the stage for good.

The incident took place at The Laugh Factory, a comedy club in West Hollywood.

According to the Associated Press, CNN managed to get in touch with the actor, who declined to speak on-camera but expressed remorse over the episode and said he had made amends.

Richards’s former Seinfeld costar, Jerry Seinfeld, said in a statement to TV’s Extra, “I am sick over this. I’m sure Michael is also sick over this horrible, horrible mistake. It is so extremely offensive. I feel terrible for all the people who have been hurt.”

Reps for Richards could not immediately be reached for comment.

The Laugh Factory has banned Richards and promised to post a warning to all comedians to avoid offensive language.

HE WAS NOT BANNED HE PERFORMED THE NEXT NIGHT AND THAT CAME FROM CNN!!!! FUCK HIM AND THE LAUGH FACTORY!!!!!

So… What’s new? This shit ain’t surprising. I would applaud this nigga (Yeah, I called him a nigga, I don’t give a fuck) if he came out and said, yeah, this is how I really feel.

Damn, Bill - I didn’t know you were a Nupe?? What up, YO! We need to talk offline, frat.

#136….I FEEL U!

I liked krammer very funny man..Sorry he’s an ass ..oh well
@ bill please this is not a college shout out board..dang

HE AND JERRY SEINFELD ARE ON DAVID LETTERMAN TONIGHT!

1. We need to stop calling ourselves “niggas.” It’s just dumb. No other race on EARTH disrespects themselves so publicly the way we do as a people.

2. It’s interesting that not only was this man allowed to vent COMPLETELY, but the club allowed him to come back the next night. NOW, after the public fallout, the club owner says he can’t return until he apologizes. If it was a brotha, his career would be OVAH!

When Mel Gibson disrespected the Jewish community, it took about a minute for their most powerful figureheads to disassociate from him. The news media couldn’t get enough of the story. This guy? Since he only respected “blacks,” it’s not so bad. The industry will forgive him a lot easier…just look at the Laugh Factory’s comment.

3. While I don’t like what the guy said, I can respect an open bigot better than a closet bigot any day of the week. If you don’t like me, and I know it, it’s easier to know how to deal with you. But the most dangerous ones are the ones who smile in your face, and hate you behind your back. Homey put it out there, so now we know.

As for people saying that this was just an expression of “anger,” I’m not buying it. Was he mad? Clearly. But he didn’t just say, “Nigger,” and move on. He went bananas with it referencing lynching, and then had the damn balls to say something about, “See what happens when you mess with a White man,” or something along those lines. He knew what he was saying, and he meant that shit. He gets no pass from me.

SOMETHING TO CHEW ON: TMZ.Com posted a poll underneath the video of Kramer’s racial tyrade asking, “Is Michael Richards racist?” Yes or No? Of almost 40,000 respondants as of roughly 2pm, EST, 40 percent (that’s FORTY PERCENT!!!!), said, “No.” Almost HALF said this man’s tirade was not racist. We need to wake up. Just cause we don’t get called “Niggers” overtly anymore doesn’t mean they aren’t thinking it. That poll demostrated how pervasive racist TENDENCIES really are. Certainly not every White person is racist, but I think more of them don’t like us than they would ever admit.

777-9311 said:

I love Seinfeld and I will continue to watch it on TBS. But that man needs to sit his ass down somewhere.

…are you on that stuff???? This is a prime example of what I was saying on another post w/ JT and Janet Jackson about black people. White people can say whatever to us, and we’ll still continue to support them. STUPID!

Someone need to call you and tell you to wake the HELL UP! Or hit you across the head…something!

Yeah, and since there were never any black on the show in major roles hardly ever, this is probably how Seinfeld, Larry David and the rest of them feel too.

Back to Martin reruns!!

all that bill and you still aint sed shit

PREACH WIFEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

OMG!!!!…read my post (#136)….was tryna say the exact same thing only i wasnt nearly as eloquent (lol)

I really do not know why people are shocked. I am a firm believer that every single person in this country is a racist. How could we not be, the very foundation of the history of this country is built on racism. What shocks me more than this however is the two young white girls, who sing about hate in their songs, made Billboard and are now recieving offers from the majors! This is America and America is as racist as wholesome apple pie. The Civil Rights movement was only forty years ago,(not long ago at all), and forty years is not enough time for change. If you take an ugly girl and put her in a beautiful dress, make her up, and perm her hair, underneath all of that she will still be an ugly girl! AMERIKKKA has spoken, NIGGERS!

well said corey! ^^^

No surprise to me, I think his feelings were hurt though by the heckling and he lashed out in the only way some people know how, to be hurtful and racist. We all have probably done it, when a white person does something to us is the first response to call or think of the word “Cracker” or something similar?? I try to stop myself and think of them as just a stupid “person” and not a “Cracker”.

The rest of the people left cuz they didn’t know if they were gonna come back wit a gun and start spraying the place up!!!! That was completly uncalled for!

Bill you write too damn much! Shit!

Don’t nobody care about no Kappa members!

Bill– I’m not an AKA and I knew about A Bronx Tale, I have it on DVD…I know you love the AKA’s…but damn.

That dude needs to officially change his name to Kramer, because that’s the only way anyone will know his ass…he is a broke down, raggedy ass piece of shit, and before his ass starts bringing up lynching, he needs to remember that Hilter was killing off his people in gas chambers. As Jennifer Aniston would say, this motherfucka is missing a sensitivity chip. He needs his racist ass kicked, and he better hopes he never sees me in the street, cuz I’m gonna give his ass a history lesson expeditiously.

ah HEEEEEEELLL NAH, Oh its on now, I resent the fact that white people call this show the greatest show in the history of television. Now one of the stars of this overatted ass show wants to go and pull a stunt like that.

So I guess even though he is an obvious racist he gets the benefit of the doubt becuase he was on a really popular show huh.

@ wifey…I think that because he’s not a big name like Mel Gibson, it’s not getting reported on as much…I mean this guy is a nobody. It’s still offensive and this guy should just disappear somewhere, just like his career did.

i was a little surprised about this only cuz i didnt know he was still doing shows, i was never a fan of his nor was i a fan of the show, this is disgusting

I DONT GIVE A FUCK IF HIS FEELINGS WERE HURT, HE DIDNT HAVE TO SAY THAT LYNCHING COMMENT.FUCK HIM AND FUCK ALL THE MENTALLY SLAVED BLACK PEOLE THAT ARE DEFENDING HIS ACTIONS…

interesting black folks get all worked up time a white man call them a nigger and black folks call one another this all day everyday. someone faught for us not to be called this MLK and others but yet we continue to bury ourselves in the ignorance. wonder how many of you freeze up and ready to fight for the word not to be used when your own race says it to one another. No you wont fight for that…you prefer laughing it off and calling one another it taking it as a joke. SO DUMB…HAVEN’T LEARNED ANYTHING. You can come up with a million and one excuse to how the word is used…if it good for you to call one another that well it should be just as good for the white man to call you that. Don’t get all bent backwards about something your own race slave themselves to.

This is how alot of people sound when they get into the privacy of the tier own homes or the have the ANONIMITY provided by the internet. The only difference is he slipped up and did it in public.

We all like to PRETEND we live in a color blind world and race no longer matters, but it does. People might work with you, hang out with you, or even marry you, but it doesn’t mean they still don’t harbor negative feelings towards your entire race (whether their concious of it or not). I’m not just talking about white people either, i’m talking about all people.

I’m sure there won’t be much fallout because he doesn’t have much of a career. I actually hope our “black leaders” don’t speak up on this, because it’s pointless, this is one mans comments and IMO addressing just gives the comments more power.

At the end of the day this is just another friendly reminder that racisim still exist in a world where people like to pretend it doesnt. So the next time I see “color doesn’t matter” for the umpteeenth time on this blog i’ll make sure to post the link to this post - because it does.

WTF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Umm, please die

If this is true I will no longer be watching Seinfield.

It just shows you that we don’t know these damn entertainers. An yet we make their dumb asses rich.

188

you need to chack yourself becuase you sound stupid . sos you mean to tell me that if a white man called you a nigger and said 50 years ago you would have been hanging from a tree , you wouldnt be mad? Thats what this is about. What he did is not the same thing so what the fuck are YOU talking about. I hate when people try to get all intellectual about when black people use it and when white people use it out of anger and their dumbass dont have a leg to stand on.

I learned a long time ago that when most white men get angry enough (regardless to his association with African Americans), they will distance themselves as far as they can, and screaming the word “nigger” is the way to do it. They know when it’s used, we’ll react, and be the once facing a judge the next morning.

I laugh at racist folks for burning energy on being negative.

#181 u aint lie

192 say what you will but it amazing how you amplify one part of what he said and excuse the other or make excuses for why black folks use the word. All of what he said was wrong but why dance around the fire. I bet you hear black folks using this word and have yet to correct them on it. Taking one piece of what he said and regarding it worse than the other half of what he said or the use of the word in the black community doesn’t give it any weight…

Oh BTW for those of ya’ll who say that this is no different than when a black comedian makes white jokes? There is one big difference - this is a Tirade.

Now I’m not going to argue the whether ethnic jokes are right or wrong, some people find them offensive in all circumstances and some people are fine with them. But I will say that when it comes to ethnic jokes no race is spared and most comedians that make ethnic jokes also joke about their own race i.e. George Lopez talking about “Beaners” and the scores of black comedians who make jokes about black people more than any other group.

This is an angry tirade made to insult and hurt someone. It’s not a quick comeback to quiet a heckler. This man is angry and for a split second forgot he was in public and said what he REALLY feels about black people.

*BTW this makes me look at the Seinfield episode where Kramers in black face w/ the screw. I never liked that episode and now my suspicians are further confirmed!

“The Odds are stacked against me, I am overwhelmed by adversity. I am black, I am poor, I am nothing in the eyes of my enemy.

He laughs, he scorns, he applauds me in my misery. He says, “Look at the nigger with the kinky hair, the big lips, the fat nose and the coal black skin”. His tongue bambards me like fiery stones, the words destroying my soul within.

I am ashamed of who I am, and of where I’m from, was I born a nigger or is that what I’ve become?

Incacerated by insecurity, oppressed by constitutional authority, lost in racial iniquity, inferior to white superiority…. A NIGGER!” Copyright 2001! C.L. Taylor

No, we are not niggers! We are not African Americans! We are not Negroes! We are not colored! We are not coons! We are not “monkeys”! We are not Jigaboos! We are not Sambos! We are not spades! We are MEN! We are WOMEN! WE ARE ONE!

195 you so stupid ypu dont even know what time it is. I don t know what world you live in , But you are comparing a word that has histoy and was solidified by the other angry rants he yelled to a race of people flipping the script and taking control of a derogitory comment that was created by a race of eople who “trained us to belive they were our superiors. What the fuck is your point if any body should be able to use the word with out consiquence it should be us. You can tell you never wnet through nothing in your life becuase your so nieve.

Your trying to come off from an intelectul stand point on use of the word with out having experieced it to its fullest potential. You sound like a child “well if they cant use it we shouldnt be able to use it either”. You dont even know what time it is so dont EVer in your fucking life come at me about what I do regarding that word.

Hey Concrete….This is a good pic of Kramer to do something foul with it. Put that big ass ugly nose of his up to a dogs ass.

He already look goofy as hell.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

PLEASE REFRAIN FROM THE DISCUSSION OF RACE,POLITICS, AND RELIGION..THIS POST WILL EASILY GET 400+ POST AND FOR WHAT?? WHITE PPL WILL STILL SAY AND FEEL WHAT THEY WANT AND IT’S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT…

What the hell is wrong with him?

It’s not our fault that he couldn’t get a job after Seinfeld.

I just want to applogize on the behalf of my race. Not all of us feel this way and it is disgusting to watch let alone hear white men degrade another race over something so petty. All they ask is that you don’t use one word and all this controversy stirs up over it. Let’s face it, if you say any racial slurs, you deserve to get your ass beat. The reason why white folks use that term is because the black community ask that we not use it and in return some white folks find it necessary to make themselves seem better or ahead of the black men. This is just stupid. I love white black chinese brazilian all kinds of races. Most red necks don’t have enough respect to know when they’re out of line. I’m not saying it’s right to call a white man a cracker, but none the less… Just give up the racial bullshit, you make yourself and your race look even stupider.

no matter how some black people try 2 switch!

that’s what they think about you……………

@202 I agree..

@ fro_real

I couldn’t agree with you more. People like to pretend that we use the word nigga as a form of “empowerment”, but where is all this empowerment, i’d like to see it….still waiting? All i see is young teens who can even complete a sentence w/out using the word. This isn’t a word people use everyone once in a while, this is a word that we have use to replace the word MAN. Do you realize that? Listen to people talk…every where you would use the word MAN, it is replace with nigga - i’m sorry that can’t be a good thing.

And further more if people are so upset w/ Kramer using it, why aren’t we bother by Fat Joe using or Paul Wall using it. Last time i checked there weren’t black either? Let’s cut the bullshit. That’s not “OUR” word that we took back that’s “HIP HOP’s” word that is being consumed by surburban white teens, latinos, asians and oh yeah.. black people. Next time your at a rap concert, look around and see how many black people are there and watch whoese lips are moving with the nigger is spouted…trust me there not all black lips.

This doesn’t excuse Kramer AT ALL, but the word is played out - PERIOD. Lets try reignite brother in our conversations.

DAMN BILL SHIT I’M A KAPPA YO ASS(just jokin)if you write one more KAPPA post.

I hope you people REALIZE it’s probably gonna get WORSE,cause RACISM is BORN out of STUPIDITY or as they say BLAME IT ON THE BLACK MAN.

The WORLDLY figures are in the process of making this a HAVE and HAVE NOT SOCIETY.RICH or POOR this is the EFFECT of GETTING RID OF the MIDDLE CLASS.
As long as EVERYBODY has money to SPEND THIER gonna be HAPPY and CONTENT.it’s the LACK of MONEY that will HAVE THIS NATION TRIPPIN and LOOKIN for someone to BLAME.

if a come up missing BLAME IT ON THE BLACK MAN.

if the baby ain’t lily white BLAME IT ON THE BLACK MAN.

if you kill your baby,s BLAME IT ON THE BLACK MAN.

if you can’t find job BLAME IT ON THE BROWN MAN.

if you don’t want to really get married BLAME IT ON THE BROWN MAN.

Some of it’s RACIST and some of it is ECONOMICS or SURVIVAL in these days and times so you better RECOGNIZE,cause if you KNOCK OUT(off) the COMPETITION the GRAND PRIZE IS YOU GET IT ALL………………..

200
yes their is something we can do about it…. I think you know where Im going with this.

And All they can continue to talk about is OJ Simpson on the news……. this is way more serious.

@208 what you gone do about it?? Everyday someone is going to say something you dont like or wanna hear,so what.. I answer to a higher power that judgement of me is the only one that matters.. I dont care what a person say it dont affect me..Black people get over it.

Can’t do nothing but shake my head at this one.

Is he white? I mean, isn’t he Jewish-white?

May he catch VD and may the rash burn until he apologizes.

Allegedly he is going to apologize tonight on David Letterman….. but will that really change how he feels in his heart?

Shit that nigga done fucked up now!

*I meant craker

@ #173 Networking You don’t know me like that! I am not stupid. I don’t like the way that Oprah treated Ludacris on her show, but that does not mean that I didn’t set my TiVo to record Beyonce, Jamie Foxx, and Jenifer Hudson today.

Furthermore, the show is called Seinfeld, not Richards. (I ain’t gone lie though, I could not even stomach it today.) So because I think you’re wack as hell, does that mean I shouldn’t fool with no one else from Kansas City (yeah I looked at ya weak ass myspace page!)

Also, why you hating on Kappas, when you looking like a broke ass, 3 time Kappa interest meeting reject.

If I’ve learned anything, it’s not to group all people of a certain demographic together. I may share your “RACE” but I aint shit like you (networking). Get your knowledge up and your hate down!

HATE JUST LIKE THAT CHEAP ASS SCARF, DON’T LOOK GOOD ON YOU!

#22 YOU’VE MADE QUITE AN IGNORANT REMARK. SO YOU’RE JUSTIFYING HIS RACIAL RANTS? EVEN IF THEY HECKLED HIM DOES THAT JUSTIFY BY REFERRING TO THE MEN AS N!GGERS, AND GOING BACK TO THE DAYS OF LYNCHING?? ARE YOU SERIOUS…NO HECKLED COMMENT DESERVE A RACIAL EPITHET. HE COULD’VE INSULTED THEM IN ANOTHER FASHION BUT NOT RACIALLY, I MEAN LETS BE REAL IDIOTS.

@ 211 TBROWN OOh you stupid, LMAO!

@ 777-9311

LMAO! You are too much girl. =)

disturbing on so many levels

@MIZZLIZZ I’m saying. Ol boy don’t know me like that. I try to keep it civilized. But he made me go there.

@ Bru-Know I love you….I just do!

OK…I’m going to try to keep my response to this nonsense brief (though I may fail). You said a lot of things, but the thing that gets me THE MOST is you calling yourself dictating what we can and cannot call ourselves.

Let me break it down to you like this: you say, “You don’t see Whites calling themselves ‘European American.’”

1. Have you ever heard of St. Patrick’s Day? Have you ever SEEN the St. Patrick’s day parade where IRISH-AMERICANS are celebrating their heritage?

2. Have you ever heard of Oktoberfest, which is celebrated throughout the entire month of October? This is a celebration of GERMAN-AMERICANS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES.

3. Have you ever heard of Cinco-de-Mayo? This is a celebration for MEXICAN-AMERICANS on the 5th of May.

4. Have you ever heard of a neighborhood in a major city being referred to as “Little Italy?” “Little Mexico?” “Chinatown?” Tell me what the f**k is a Italy, Mexico and China doing with neighborhoods in the U.S.???

EVERY F**KING ETHNICITY IN THE UNITED STATES CAN ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR ANCESTRAL HERITAGE (Mexican Americans; Italian Americans; Jewish Americans; Asian Americans, etc., etc.), AND YOU HAVE THE F**KING AUDACITY TO COME ONTO ***THIS*** MESSAGE BOARD AND TELL US THAT WE CANNOT ACKNOWLEDGE OUR AFRICAN ROOTS WHEN EVERY-OTHER ETHNIC GROUP IS ALLOWED THAT RIGHT???

You have the BALLS to say that Blacks calling ourselves “African-Americans” is offensive and “oppressive?” You know what, you are offensive. Go to “Little Italy,” “Chinatown,” and “Little Mexico” and tell them how OFFENDED you are by them having foreign “towns” inside the United States. If you’re going to set standards, don’t just look at Blacks.

You are an idiot. Blacks know we know we are American, but we did not originate on this continent. Simply refering to ourselves as “American” will not erase where we came from. People need to get over their discomfort with our black skin and ancestral history. We’ll forever be black, and we can never change how we came to exist in the United States.

They’ve already taken away the rich, African culture that came to America with us. They can AT LEAST give us the dignity of allowing us to acknowledge our ethnic roots, just as they allow Italians, Latinos, Germans, Russians, British, etc.

@215 now you had me looking in that mans myspace profile..LMBAO…You crazy

Preach wifey!!!

All I wanna know is, why didn’t somebody rush the stage and knock his dumb racist ass out? That’s the first thing I woulda done. Fuck that
