He reminds me of the 'radical priest' in the Paul Simon song 'Me You and Julio Down By the Schoolyard'.

His comments were inappropriate, perhaps, but they also had an element of truth.

I've commented in the past about white privilege, specifically, rich white people who feel they are entitled to things.

I think they should get over themselves, realize that we are a human family and that we shouldn't have such a sense of entitlement.

And, if they are Christians, I would remind them that we are all God's brothers and sisters, regardless of race, color or creed!

A person can make a fool of himself in this country without fear of being arrested. Freedom of speech it is called. We should all be thankful for this right, or we'd all be in prison.

yes freedom of speech is a good thing -- but the patriot act of 2001 has taken that right away gggrrrrr....

thus the reason i feel everyone involved in passing and enacting the patriot act should be tried for treason and/if found guilty should be stood up against the wall of independence hall and shot

yep that one worked

i don't think the free speech argument works in this case

he works for a religious organization and was in a religious house thus his actions could be considered the position of his group or organization

i would considerer the senfield guy getting flack worse than this guy getting suspended (not that i agree with what he said)

The main reason Michael Richards apologized is because Jerry Seinfeld made him.

You see, Seinfeld Season Seven DVD had just been released, and Jerry didn't want lost sales.

However, Michael Richards notoriety, instead of hurting sales of the DVD set, seemed to actually help sales.
