All Hail Michael Richards! No, I'm not insane, I am actually elated. Kramer's bigoted actions on stage have given us all pause...at least for a moment. Personally, I am a bit perplexed. L.A. being my hometown and all, I am still trying to figure out how he managed to get out of that club without an ambulance, a police escort or at least a big burly Security Guard giving their account on how they saved him from near death.
But I digress.
So now, folks are earnestly talking about eliminating the N-word (in music in particular). Can we do it? Can this Nation actually give up its self-ordained license for Hate Speech neatly disguised and labeled as "Free Speech?" Does that mean I can actually get on the New York subway and not hear beautiful brown-eyed Latinas y Latinos calling each other "Nigga?"
Damn J-Lo & Ja-Rule's asses for that!
We shall see. In the meantime, I will continue to listen to my edit versions of my favorite gangsta rap songs. Maybe "Bitch" and "Ho" are next on the list. Maybe me and the girls should go pay old Kramer a visit!
