Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.So … here we are. 400 years of race relations in America boil down to a Reality TV Show staring OJ Simpson, Kramer from Seinfeld, and a word grown people pretend it's OK to think, but not to say.
Was this really news or was it yet another Weapon of Mass Distraction? What war?
Stop 'B' Wording. ‘F’ Word Kramer. Move on.
We should choose what we allow to become headline news more carefully.
#1 the word, in and of itself, has no power
#2 how we choose to respond to it gives it power
#3 choosing to respond as if wounded to the soul every time any obscure racist uses it, grants that racist power
#4 Granting others power over oneself makes one a de facto slave
What is more offensive, is the suggestion that a moron like Richards has the power to offend the entire black race by what he says.

In my opinion this actually demonstrates the sad state of black america and the lack of infleunce and power that we have. The only reason Richards apologized, in my humble opinion, was so that he wouldn't hurt the sales of the Seinfeld DVD. If he was really sorry then he would devote time to really addressing the race problem in America. And if black people had more power their would be consequences to insulting us in public.
