Michael Richards problems..

I'm not sure what is wrong with this country, but we have problems. Why is it okay for a black standup to say the "n" word over and over again when they are up on stage, but put a white man up there, and it's he's a racist....ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? He now has to apologize for "targeting" the black men in the audience. Then they said there might be a money settlement to settle any pain and suffering...again...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I know racism is a funny thing, but if it's good for one race, it should be good for all. There are so many stereotypes out there, and it's really a shame. This world could really be a better place if people weren't always reminded about "being a slave" or "what we went through" ...last time I checked that was a long time ago..is everyone still living from back then?? But it still goes the same for white people..they always assume that black people are all bad..not true. I know some really nice, well to do black people and we get along great. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that people say things all the time, take it with a grain of salt and move on. By the way, I'm not racist..I agree with everyone basically..so I'm neutral in the whole thing.
