Today's Water Cooler Talk

Michael Richards... you hear about that sh*$?

Apparently it is yesterday's news that he went into a racist rage in an LA comedy club.

I heard the clip on the radio this morning, and at first I thought he was going to turn it around into some kind of redeeming social commentary. But his act just spiralled out of control into this insane tyraid. A career killer to say the least. Then he tried to apologize on the Letterman show, and sounded like he was being sarcastic simply because he is Michael Richards. That dude has to have some anger/rage issues.

Welp, that is my water cooler chat for this morning.

Unreal.

didn't watch it. I didn't want to ruin my kramer laughs since i still enjoy watching Seinfeld from time to time. Although from what i heard (the day before this old new post!!) it was pretty bad.

both videos are on youtube, I watched them both, and... well, whatever. As someone who's had to personally fight back a racism laden surrounding influence from childhood, I half get it. He doesn't come off as a racist person any more than you fools talking about asian drivers. He blew up. Think about people going into a rage, they just go nuts spurting the worst shit that pops in from their subconcious. He seems like the type of person who's had racist thoughts (which we all do and if you say you don't you are a liar) but doesn't believe them or act on them, but they just came out in this nut ball rage. I wonder how I'd feel about it if it was the other way around.
