Alcohol or anger. If you ever want to know how one truly feels about you, any immense dosage of either should be suffice to elicit the most deeply ingrained feeling about any noun you can conjure up from a person. I'm mainly an empirical fact individual, but I hold at least one strong belief. Feelings don't lie.
There is nothing more honest than involuntary inherent response. Upon hearing about Michael Richards aka..the ever eccentric Kramer from the last of the great sitcoms "Seinfeld" racial tirade, I figured he just got heated said a couple things the he felt beneath the surface and, that was that. I was prepared for what I saw, but definitely didn't expect it. As I search the lands of my mental I'm failing to acquire a incident in which such vehemence is displayed in such a visceral manner. Hmm I'm no Tyson hater…but upon reflection the most recent incidence I can conjure would be the press conference before the Lennox Lewis Fight when Mike repeatedly told a member of the media how he would make him his "bitch" by violating one of his orifices.
While admittedly I found the Tyson debacle slightly entertaining, no such value was derived from Richards. The fact he was talking about Black People isn't even the main reason.. Although I'm a avid Carlos Mencia and those of his comedic ilk despiser (I'll address him another day) if done with respect, I can take racial comedy about my own from another race. I've wasted letters typing the word comedy tho, because Richards did not perform material or put on an act, he just revealed his genuine sentiments, in a manor that would make founders at Stone Mountain shed a tear.
Hey….. If you feel a certain way…by all means do what you do. But… the abhorrence starts to formulate when you flat out lie about your beliefs and actions. Its a far to common occurrence for matters of which are deserving of and others not, nearly every one is know to "apologize" in these times. You know… It's best to "get out ahead" of the story. Well this seems to be true in most cases unless you're an infallible President by your own description. Well with much more expediency than Fema delivers bottled water, Richards delivered his apology on the David Letterman show less than a day after his catharsis. Now in to keep my streak of honesty together with you, I'll admit I did not watch said show. I was to engrossed in watching the finial 2 episodes (I had to do it) of this seasons "Wire" amassing a level of hate for Chris and Snoop that impossibly surpassed my unexplainable hatred for Shane on "The Shield". Let me get back to explainable hate tho. While I didn't watch the whole show, I viewed a variety of clips of the interview and read transcriptions of it. Truthfully I could just state that he had the audacity to say he wasn't racist, a statement witch has to be in the running for "Bullshit Utterance of the Year" award, but that would be an injustice. It would be a waste to not mention that he did his best Bruno from "Black n White" impersonation by spewing off such gems of reference as "The Blacks" and "Afro Americans and surreally invoked Hurricane Katrina's racial divide . Smh….This guy is classic.
The saddest thing about this whole Bob Sagetish Geminism gone horribly wrong incident is audience reaction. I'm not talking about the many who honorably got up and left the comedy club where Richards was performing. No…not them,.not even those who can be heard laughing at his tirade or thought his appearance on Letterman was a platform for jokes. Nope the saddest thing about the incident is a non scientific poll, that's
prolly more accurate than not.
