As I suspect most people do, I want to see blacks do well. I would never think of repaying a similar request from a black person with that kind of abuse and attitude.

I will say that being a recipient of that kind of attitude makes me more hesitant to have anything to do with a black person not already known to me… and more and more eager to just avoid black strangers altogether.

Where I live, however (in Lancaster, up in the high desert above L.A.), it seems like it’s open season on Caucasians… as in, someone behind me was coming out of a convenience store, and was literally screaming into her cell phone, literally inches from my head.

I turned around to ask her to tone it down because she was screaming, and what did I get? I got told to get the f–k out of her way, and I got called a “fat-assed white bitch” (standard epithet these days, it seems).

I came home once and there were a pair of Hispanic teens (boy and girl) and a black teen girl loitering on the driveway of the apartment I rent.

I asked them to leave, and I again got called a “fat-assed white bitch.” (I guess it was okay for them to loiter as long as they were only casing the joint and not actively breaking in.)

This kind of crap cuts both ways. I agree that good manners are in order… but it seems it’s futile to expect any decent manners toward a white person for fear of inciting a racial incident.

Oh, and yes… in the past, both of the VW Bugs I once drove were rear-ended (in different years)… by black men, both of whom were driving more-expensive cars than mine, and in both cases they tried to turn it racial and wiggle out of their obligation to pay for the damage (neither one was insured). The sister of one of them screamed racial epithets into the phone at me.

And while I was working two jobs to pay for the damage to one car (while waiting for the perp to pay for the damage he caused), I got mugged one night while walking from the office building to the then location of the bus station. The two black male nasties said, among other things, “We don’t care if we kill you ’cause you’re white.” They also threatened to kill me if I didn’t have enough money. Probably empty threats, just talking sh!t to me.

But some people would refuse to call that racism… because it was done by blacks toward a white person.

Maybe he thought he could be just as racist and misogynist and “in your face” exempt from decency as the average rapper.

No “hey my nigga” artist ever gets pilloried for using his own poetic streetwise crude words.

Reverse racism is real.

And so is political correctness.

Every college and university in democratic Amerika has adopted speech codes so that no one shall feel offended.

The revolutionaries who liberated these still infant colonies valued free speech above all else.

Their great-great-great grandchildren must be quite a disappointment…

[This is about decency and manners, as I said. I’ve written plenty about free speech, of which I am a radical advocate. Here are the results of a search on this blog. Just because blacks, in their hump-along music, do a Richards every day, doesn’t mean others should join them, or be excused when they do. People here seem incapable of condemning wrong any more; it’s all about, “Is the dude in my camp, or not.”]

I don’t really like any TV these days, but I really didn’t like Seinfield. I never laughed at any show.

M. Richards seems to lack some functioning mental inhibitions; wondering if he is schizophrenic in any way. His tirade was so out of control that it seems as though he lacks the normal self control most people have. He seems somewhat mentally deranged.

Remember George Carlin’s riff on “sorry”? “Everybody says I’m sorry, but remember when you thought it would HELP? I’m SORRY, I’ll never do it again. I’ll turn over a new leaf!”

And years ago there was a program on ‘women in prison’. One young woman had emptied a revolver into a partner over a coke deal gone bad, reloaded and emptied another cylinder into him. In an interview she kept saying, “I’m sorry, OK?” like she expected someone to open the prison door and say “OK”.

Now why the big deal though. A person goes to that kind of place and that is the type of thing they will probably hear. And why is it a big deal for this guy? A black standup/rapper can say whatever he or she likes about abybody. Nobody mentions that.
