i think virtually everyone is prejudice. we r raised with the mentality of me first and if it cant be me to benefit ...someone like me. its natural for survival.

i mean why use words like that? I dont learn word like that to use against other races. People dont understand painful history of that word.They would not use it in that manner, if they did.

Agreed. AngryAussie made a comparison to a similar routine done by another comedian. He also made the point that this is a very emotionally charged word. And that if a white comedian plans on doing something involving it, he better know EXACTLY where he's going with it. I was disgusted by Michael Richards' display and regardless of how he really feels, he is responsible for it.

Yes, I see plenty of of quieter forms of racism everywhere. Go and get a box of bandaids and look for ones that blend in with dark skin. (They're all for white people, unless you want to be a grown man sporting a Barney bandage). How do you think that makes them feel? Ace bandages? When have you ever heard the term "All American" when they were speaking of anyone but a white person?

Ur so right, the many subtle levels of racism r so intertwinded into the american culture its ridiculous. Its everywhere and thats what ppl dont focus on. They say if blacks dress like this instead or if they cud just learn to speak or whatever, thats assimilating. But they dont think about how inner city schools dont breed assimilated minorities. Becuz the govenment knows this wud fix the race problem, so the keep it going to keep us separated so they can do there dirty business.

We all have prejudice that we have to keep under control. When it get to the point that it affects other people's quality of live or livelihood, thats a problem and action needs to be taken.
