Didn’t someone pull her aside and say…”Duh, not really cool to wear that dress.”

First of all, let me start by saying I’m part black, so don’t call me a redneck racist.  My take is that for every black person living in America today slavery was a good thing.  You would not be here today if it weren’t for slavery.  Do you honestly know anything about Africa today?  Would you really rather be living there right now?  Would you really like to live in a hut and have AIDS? 
Have you ever met your ancestors who were slaves?  Why should anyone apologize to anyone who is living today for things that happened hundreds of years ago?  History is full of wars and invasions and genocides.  It’s been going on since the beginning of time.  Why do black people in this country feel they need special recognition for bad things that happened to people they didn’t even know?
Here’s the original story from AOLA state legislator said black people “should get over” slavery and questioned whether Jews should apologize “for killing Christ,” drawing denunciations Tuesday from stunned colleagues.

  

Virginia state Del. Frank Hargrove defends his remarks on slavery that were quoted in a newspaper article as Del. David Englin listens
Steve Helber, AP
Del. Frank D. Hargrove, 79, made his remarks in opposition to a measure that would apologize on the state’s behalf to the descendants of slaves.  

In an interview published Tuesday in The Daily Progress of Charlottesville, Hargrove said slavery ended nearly 140 years ago with the Civil War and added that “our black citizens should get over it.”

The newspaper also quoted him as saying, “are we going to force the Jews to apologize for killing Christ?”

  

Black lawmakers swiftly denounced Hargrove’s comments.  

“When somebody tells me I should just get over slavery, I can only express my emotion by projecting that I am appalled, absolutely appalled,” said Del. Dwight C. Jones, head of the Legislative Black Caucus.

Del. David L. Englin also criticized Hargrove’s remarks, recalling that his grandparents were driven from their homes in Poland “by people who believed that as Jews, we killed Christ.”

When Hargrove rose to speak, he told Englin he didn’t care about Englin’s religion. “I think your skin was a little too thin,” Hargrove said as lawmakers gasped and groaned.

By the way, who’s the sort of good looking guy sitting next to the old guy?

This whole Michael Richards bullshit is one of the reasons I decided to start blogging.  What is this shit all about?  Is this what this country has come to?  What exactly did Michael Richards do that was so wrong?  He gave an opinion?  Did he buck this ridiculous trend in this country to be polictically correct at the expense of our constitutionally given freedom?  Is that some kind of crime now?  Please let me know what he did wrong?

Why isn’t Mr. Richards entitled to his opinion?  Just because he’s in the public eye doesn’t mean that he should have to give up every right that the rest of us take for granted.  If Mr. Richards believes that the two men he called “Nigger” were acting like niggers then why can’t he call them out on it.  Why must he apologize for his opinion?  I’m sure that when the two “African-Americans” were heckling Mr. Richards there were others in the audience who thought “I wish those niggers would shut up”.  Just because Mr. Richards vocalized what others were likely thinking doesn’t make him a bad person.  Where is all of the outrage at these two men who were disturbing the show that others had paid their hard earned money to see?  Why were they allowed to get away with acting like common gutter trash and Mr. Richards is villainized?  Why does Mr. Richards have to go on television and act like a little bitch?  Why doesn’t he just stand up and say “I said it! So fucking what.”?

By the fucking way, when did ”Nigger” get to be a swear word?  That’s a bunch of bullshit.  It’s just a word.  What’s with all of this “N-word” shit?  Just say it.  Nigger.  So what?  It’s not that big of a fucking deal.  Nigger was widely used during the 70′s.  It was used liberally on “All in the Family”, “the Jeffersons”, and even “Saturday Night Live”.  Now we have to say N-word.  It’s ridiculous.  You can call a woman a ”Bitch” on daytime TV.  You can say “Shit” on ”South Park”.  But, you can’t say “Nigger” in a comedy club where people have actually paid to be entertained, in whatever fashion that is.

And what the fuck is the deal with talk of compensation?  These two assholes disrupt this comedy show and they get what was coming to them, then they act all offended and want money?  That is bullshit.  So, if I go walking down the street and someone calls me a nigger I should hold a press conference and hire Gloria Allred?  I should sue?  Huh?  And Oh My God!  Don’t let me get started on Gloria Allred.  This chick is fucking nuts.  I have to stop now or else I’ll be here all day ranting about Gloria Allred.
