michael richards made a few bad comments about blacks and he is bombarded with criticism and ridicule and will probably be considered a racist for the rest of his life. yet chris rock, dave chapelle, and the wayans brothers ENTIRE ACT is slamming and degrading whites and babbling on about how inferior whites are to blacks and poking fun at how whites walk, talk, dress, and act. rappers can even chant about murdering whites and raping white girls and they get rich and famous. and then there's spike lee who refused interviews from any white reporters and remember that zima commercial with two white guys dancing in a black club and one said "who let THEM in"? so in other words white racism is hideous and disgusting but black racism is applauded and rewarded. i always thought the civil rights movement was meant to end racism and make everyone equal. all it's done is reverse the roles. anyone see my point?

yes i am aware that blacks have had it rough in the past. but that problem has been corrected. if we keep opening old wounds, they will never heal.
but please don't give me that "that's chris rock's usual act" it should have never been an act in the first place. could you imagine a white comedian poking fun at blacks? he'd be booed off the stage and riots and protests would follow.

i totally agree w you... however, i don't think that's ever going to change because some whites still feel guilty about what their ancestors did to blacks.

I am a racist against rude people and Richards was getting called Jew boy and other racist comments and the media will not report this fun fact. So your point of view must be correct.

Michael was acting out of anger and hurled animosity toward the audience with malice. He was not joking!
Dave Chappelle is upfront about his jokes and makes fun of everyone equally as part of his act....he does it to be funny and I have not seen him directly call his audience by names and slurs. The intentions are completely different.
One was entertaining, the other was a temper tantrum.

Maybe a white comiedian should stand up, say what they want and justify it with "Well if I was a white Chris Rock I could say that."
