Michael Richards's Racist Quantum Singularity
A quantum singularity was created the other day. An event that affects the present, past and future. Michael Richards, best known for his hilarious character 'Kramer' in the sitcom 'Sienfeld', lost his cool and exposed the racist within at a comedy show.
Hecklers had been calling him out apparently.
We don't know what the 'hecklers' said, but suffice it to say that Richards snapped in the most unprofessional way, no matter what kind of 'apology' he made.
But What I find more disturbing than the quantum singularity are the comments made by people on the Youtube pages.
I'm blown away not so much by the racist morons who justify what he said-aftrall, when you take the stage as a comedian, dealing with hecklers is part of the game-but by the ignorance about racism and its history. You'll find people claiming 'double standard' since the black folk heckling Richards called him a 'cracker'. The history of 'nigger' and 'cracker' runs deep and one should understand that
a. One harbours much more pain and hatred than the other and
b. 'Cracker' came later and only as a response to 'nigger' and is hardly as damaging.
In fact, I can think of no derogatory word for a Caucasian that harbours as much hate as 'nigger'
Honkey?
Cracker?
Whitebread?
Ninja, please
I encourage you to read the comments and judge for yourself. Michael Richards has done more than screw what career he had left by his racist rant and pathetic 'apology' (that brings Katrina in for brownie points) he has exposed the ignorance among the masses about the history of racism; where it's been what it's like now and where it is going.

He rode out to the farm, not often, but sometimes, as a matter of duty, phentermine and was forced to acknowledge that Sam was managing better than could have been expected in the absence of his own continuous guidance.. To both of us it seemed peculiar that the patient's mother thought nothing of the matter; of course magnesium she herself must have been repeatedly in the situation described by her child.. Beyond these four activities there is nothing else to be discovered in the tylenol dream work.. The physician cannot but reject with a shrug of his shoulders the assertion that consciousness is the indispensable quality of the psychic; he may assume, if his respect for the utterings of the philosophers still be strong enough, that zoloft he and they do not treat the same subject and do not pursue the same science.. Here sat a family at breakfast, and I stood at the oxycontin window looking in.. In a land of easy morality his friends had accounted him something of a paragon; nor had Stuhk ever boniva had anything but praise for him.. Kit's, perhaps, and his domain remeron extended to the sea.. No gen'l'man'll 'low er lady to lithium do such a thing.. The primary process strives for a discharge of the excitement in order to establish a perception norco identity with the sum of excitement thus gathered; the secondary process has abandoned this intention and undertaken instead the task of bringing about a thought identity.. The return to the embryonal state of psychic life in the dream and the observation of Havelock Ellis, an archaic world of vast emotions and imperfect zoloft thoughts, appear to us as happy anticipations of our deductions to the effect that primitive modes of work suppressed during the day participate in the formation of the dream; and with us, as with Delage, the suppressed material becomes the mainspring of the dreaming.. Howdy, boys; how are you? she said, rocking phentermine peacefully.. And yet I can state on my honor that I did not hesitate for a moment when it became necessary to expend that vicodin sum.. Yes, it must be so, it has been heparin done correctly.. In any case, the norvasc friend whose guests we were yesterday has often made me his debtor..
