Two weeks ago, had I asked you who was Michael Richards, I'm willing to bet,  that you couldn't have told me.

The reason why is simple, Michael Richards is "A Nobody". His biggest claim to fame is being on the television sit-com, Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld was the "Real Star", not M.R.

Now that he has had his 15-minutes of fame, Michael Richards is "Pissed Off At The World". He can't understand why the world won't allow him more time on its stage. Since he can't take on the entire world, he sought to pick on a group of people that he felt, (a) Superior too, (b) A people who lacked any credible clout in this country.

So, the guy with the weird hair, at least he had weird hair on Seinfeld, went off on Black people. He did so after being heckled by Blacks in the audience at the comedy club where he appeared.

Like a small child, he used the term "Nigger". No, I don't believe in using the "N" word, because that's not what most Americans use when they are in the confines of their homes. Yeah, I believe that we are nothing more than hypocrites when it comes to racial matters. We are like the "Emperor With No Clothes". We pretend that the use of the word "Nigger" is no longer used in American homes. Yeah, Right!!!!

We even pretend that "We Don't See Color". That is offensive to me--because if you don't see my color, "You Don't See Me". You don't see my culture. you don't see me as a man. Not seeing these critical images, will cause you to disrespect me, and my ancestors.

Michael Richards is backing away from his statement of calling some in his audience, Niggers. My advice to Michael, "STOP". That is who you are. So, stop apologizing. That ugliness that came from you Michael is characterological. In other words, it is part and parcel of who you are. Denying that you are not a racist is not helpful, if you truly want to recover.

All that it took was a couple of Black men to bring your racism to the fore. If you said those hateful things once, chances are you have said it "Hundreds Of Times". But, this time, you got caught.

Hey, but, I'm okay with that. At least I know where you are coming from. What I'm not okay with is your running to Jesse Jackson, and having this moron ask you, "Are You A Racist?" And you responding, "No". Yes, you are a racist. Face it, pal.

Because of your John Kohn-Kerry moment, you have now opened the door to such big mouths as Gloria Allred, a California lawyer, who to the best of my knowledge has never tried a case. She comes in a scoops up the money.

That is what Allred is doing in the Michael Richards case. The two Black men who were called Niggers by Richards have hired Ms. Allred. Speaking for her "Offended Clients", Allred said all they want is an apology, and maybe a "Little Money". Hmmmm!!!

Give me a break. Money for what? So, this idiot called her clients "Niggers". And that is worth money to the men she is representing? You have got to be kidding me.

Allred figures that since Richards berated the men because one of them said "He Wasn't Funny", Richards should now open his checkbook in order to soothe the hurt feelings of the "Girlie Men" she is representing.

Although Richards has apologized to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, Allred says that is not good enough. She said Richards has to apologize to the "Victims" "FACE TO FACE, MAN TO MAN".

Richards publicist stated that his client would like to "Crawl To His Victims (MY EMPHASIS), and apologize, but he can't find them".

What has this country come to. We can verbally abuse someone; and when they respond with words that we don't like, we go out, turn over a rock, and out comes the Gloria Allred's of the world, threatening to take us to court.

Are there any men left in America--or are the men in this country simply masquerading as men? What do you think?
