I don't think it was a very good idea, thats for sure but, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx, Chris Rock, All the Wayans brothers, Bill Bellamy, and damn near every black comedian working today makes fun of white people and their mannerisms. Many going so far as to make fun of their courage, integrity, intelligence and many other things. I, for one, am sick of it and do not listen to their interviews, watch their shows or support any of them in any way. It is absolutely a double standard and simply put, reverse racism, which is absolutely rampant in this day and age. I am not saying there isn't any bigotry, or racism in the United States towards African-Americans because there is, but how far do we crackers as a race have to take our apologies for what happened over two hundred years ago. How many steps do we have to take as a non participant in slavery? It just seems, and I am not considering the Michael Richards thing here, that we are constantly trying to "make it up" to everyone. Hell I don't even know a black guy that is actually from Africa, yet we are told that African-American is the proper term. I don't know a black man that has any relatives that were enslaved that they actually know about. I am sure they are out there but I don't know any, and I have a damn lot of black friends. The Egyptians or Germans aren't apologizing to the Jews and giving reparations. The Romans aren't taking jabs from the serfs and christians they enslaved. The problem is that many citizens feel they are owed something. For what I ask you? The Irish that immigrated to this country where made to suffer through indentured servitude and I am not asking for any money form the government, or for special programs to educate my children. It is a deep issue with many facets and a very delicate issue at that. I would much prefer that everyone just accept their own lot in life and try to be a little bit better to their neighbors. I personally have very few prejudices, most are trivial............old people driving and such..................but none are race related. Anyone can do it. I do however get offended by the constant badgering of the Anglo Saxons duriing a comedy show. Its not funny....................ever.
