I LOVE PATRICE!! LOVE HIM! LOVE HIM! LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"If white people don't admit that they're racial, we can't have these conversations." -Patrice O'Neal
I seriously just saw the Kramer video today. I know I'm late as hell, but I knew if I seen it, I was just gonna get angry. Not even at him so much, but at the people defending him. I knew it. Sure enough, I saw the video.....sent it to everyone I knew who hadn't seen it. Then, I started reading the comments. People are actually have discussions on if that was racist. *blank stare* Really? ARE WE REALLY DISCUSSING THAT?!?!
I'm like Kyle on that South Park episode where Bush admits he was behind 9/11 and Kyle gets a look of shock, cocks his head to the side and goes "Really?!..............................REALLY?!?!?!" Did anyone see that? Youtube it bitches, no fuck it, I'll do it for you.
^^^ THAT is me!
I'm amazed. Truly fucking amazed....and everytime people do and say racist shit, each time more extreme than the next, I am always amazed....and then I go "WHY THE FUCK AM I SURPRISED, GOT DAMNIT?!?!! I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
But, I am, I truly am. I live in the deep south, and I've never heard comments like that. EVER!!! After watching that video several times, and reading the comments....I truly have a headache. A headache that only The Boondocks and Lewis Black can cure....which I am listening to both at the same time now, by the way. Lewis Black is a little louder, but that's because there's also a little one constantly ranting in my head. So, yeah, this is gonna get ranty....and very, very obscene. Heh, well, TOO LATE FOR THAT!!!!
I believe in free speech, if the government actually wanted to ban hate speech.....I'd be out the door. Probably not the first one out the door, but out in the streets none the less. This Seinfeld motherfucker has every right to say what he did.....and people are right about that. "Well, he can say that. USA has free speech blah blah blah!" THAT'S RIGHT, FUCKER! BUT YOU ALSO HAVE IT! That means you can say "Uh, Mikey...FUCK YOU RACIST JACKASS!!!!!!"
He can say whatever he wants, but I, in turn, can say anything I want about what he said."
Along with that, I'm in a way glad that these things were said....and I wish to the divine that more people would come out with this shit if they truly feel it. Better an enemy I know, than an enemy I don't know. It goes back around with what Patrice was saying in there in my quote. It's better to know who my enemy is, than for my enemy to be a best friend and me not know he's my enemy. Ya know what I'm sayin'?
The words that flew out of this idiot's mouth is not defensable (Woo.....sp?!). I saw a post by blackperson, who I wiiiiiiish I had on my f-list. She said something along the lines of this:
Michael Richards is a racist
If you laughed at what Michael Richards said, you're a racist.
If you defend him for that, you're a racist.
The fucking end, damnit. THERE IS NO DISCUSSION!!! WHY THE FUCK ARE WE DISCUSSING IT?!?! SON OF A BITCH!!!
By the time I was done reading those comments, I literally spat on my computer screen. I CLEANED IT OFF! I cleaned it off. Then, I watched people's Youtube video comments about the Richards video...and I threw my used tissues at most of them and punched the crap out of my computer chair arm rests....because that's all I could reach. And, if you think I'm punching my computer you're fucking nuts!
I can not believe we're discussing it. This is what we discuss about racism? Why aren't we discussing the fact that race isn't real? Why aren't we discussing the fact that our educational system white washes our history? Why aren't we discussing why white people don't want to admit their racism? THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE DISCUSSING IN 200-FUCKING-6!! I mean, if people don't think that is racist.....what the fuck could be more racist than that in our current society?! Sure, a lynching, or dragging a black dude on the back of a truck down the street in Jasper, TX...about 2 hours from where I live. Sure, that's racist to the 100th power. But what the hell? Surely.....surely telling black people they should be hung and calling them "Nigger" repeatedly has to be only a half-step below that!
Damn, I'm through playin' around here! [/hueyfreeman]
Ah, first big rant of the new journal.....FEELS GOOD!!!
