Yesterday I stumbled across this on Youtube.

I didn't recognise his name (Michael Richards) , so I watched the whole thing before realizing it was Kramer. It's pretty shocking to me. There's also a Borat-esque moment where some presumably white assholes in the audience start clapping and cheering at his use of the 'N' word. I thought the black man in the crowd did a great job of takling the high road and keeping his cool, plus making Richards look like an even bigger asshole. Now he's sorry and says he's not a racist.
Yeah, right. Wtf? How much brains does it take to figure out that there's good and bad people in every group so that generalizations are useless? Fuck, as a white person this is just embarrassing. Just like Mel about Jews.
I'm not the most enlightened guy about anything, I'm utterly average, but growing up, I saw a lot of black and jewish entertainers that I loved, so that was my first impression of them. Growing up in a southern, mostly black high school, everyone was just a person. I spent Saturdays watching Fat Albert as a kid. Is this not pretty typical? What is people's problem anyway?
I think sometimes if I were black, and encountered racism everywhere, I would eventually flip the fuck out on someone. :x
