the cruelest of racial epithets.
They show the "reality" of our experiences, not all the wonderful "things are great" we hear "outside."

You do belong to the people who think that alcohol makes a true speach?
If I may say so.
- The police report contained no mention of Mel "screaming". In fact... - clarkjohnsen 07:55:22 11/23/06 (15)
  ...the police officer, himself Jewish, is reportedly under departmental investigation for falsely leaking the contents of the arrest sheet.
  Details, details.

    But the matter is Mel antisemitic outburst.
    And that remain the core of the whole.

      ...unless I'm mistaken, all you know is what the papers told you. And they in turn relied on an officer who disobeyed the law himself, by divulging the contents (?) of the police report and offering his own interpretation.
      What if Mel just muttered?
      One must be careful what one chooses to believe.

        Mel himself said he did...In this interview where he was just jerking and blaming himself.
        I believe in Mel....

        ...believe what they read in the papers and so it's no use denying the reports, just give it up and act humble.
        And the publicist would be right.
        And now we have the spectacle of the (Jewish) Michael Richards apologizing to "black leaders" -- although there's no doubting what he did, to two obnoxious hecklers. From here he'll be forced to undergo "sensitivity training", i.e. how not to voice your views except among the very closest of friends and you better be careful there too! Teacher is watching!

        If, myself, would have done nothing to be regretful, I never will retract myself nore would I lie.
        So on all accounts MG is wrong.
        In my view.

        MG's success with Passion created tremendous resentment in Hollywood, if only because he now has money to do whatever he wants *outside the studio sysyem*.

        But also the background he come from too.
        His father.
        And as you state he can afford to tell what really happend.

        All adding to the dismay, or, as the French say, the mise-en-scene.
        Glad to see, you "get the picture".

      no... but he didn't "scream" says Clark.
      Bravo, Mel!
      It's so much better you kept your voice properly modulated!

        ...in America word-of-mouth produced some very unpleasant results for some women in Salem, Maassachusetts. Later it developed that the charges were mainly against only one of their number, but... everybody *knew* what the others had done because... they read it in the papers and heard it from neighbors over the fence.
        Just as in audio we have folks who have never listened to a particular item, telling us how it sounds; and one of them writes editorials for Stereophile.
        Maybe you can trust the newspapers for sports scores, but the rest...?

        Wait, did we not saw this TV interview with him?
        As for the rest that is absolutely true.

        at how deeply racism is ingrained in our culture (and all others, too).
        It is the denial of such in the US, used as an excuse to end or seriously curtail Affirmative Action programs, which I find despicable.
