Jerry: Mikey's So Freaking Broken Up Over This...
Well, most folks know now about the incident where Michael R.ichards became upset with a couple of hecklers (two black men) and began shouting racials slurs at them. If memory serves me correctly, all comedians who are on the ropes doing a terrible job on stage have been heckled at one time or another. That goes with the territory. That's the very reason comedians can't be sensitve little chumps when audience members find their jokes not to be funny. Nevertheless, Mikey should have never come out the mouth shouting the "n" word and talking about 50 years ago those black hecklers would have been hanged from a tree. See for yourself at TM.Z: ==> Mikey Gets Caught In The Act.
Mikey and Jerry appeared on the Letter.man show administering some industrial strength damage control. But Mikey came short of delivering a real apology, and of course didn't stand up before the people he offended to show any type of sincerity. He said something about being sickened by his own words and at the same time proclaimed not to be a racist. Well, if racist slurs were never on his mind, it would never come out of his mouth, right? Shux, I'm just a firm believer of what people say is what they "really" mean.
I'm not really shocked by any of this, since I grew up in the South where slave shacks still stand, where the k.kk still burn crosses, and where some white people still proudly hang con.federate flags on their homes. That's why I'm not some Kumbaya person believing that everything is free and equal. I keep things in perspective. All folks aren't racist, but there is a hefty chunk of those out there who are. By the way, when will the "n" word become obsolete? No time soon. Don't hold your breath.
Well that's my rant for today. I have to get ready for work. Keep your head up!!!...

He was ready. That's some mess that lay dormat in the back of his throat for a long time. He kept talking. He knew what he was doing.
Talking trash, like no one could fly out the balcony and tear his a$$ up. I'm willing to guess that a couple of bouncers would've turned their backs and played blind... for free.
He's going to rehab next right? Right?
If it looks, walks, and sounds like a... it must be right? ;)
