The lesser of two evils: OJ or Micheal Richards

I know its been awhile. I've got good news and bad news. Depends on the perspective. The good news is that my training's over and I've been doing some specialized training. The bad news is that I'll be out in the field in a few weeks which pretty much puts a damper on my blogging days. I'm home in Fairfax, for Thanksgiving. My first Thanksgiving outside of New York. It's not so bad. Actually, the whole country atmosphere adds to the whole flavor of the holidays. My fiancee's family is coming into Virginia to visit some relatives and will be dropping by for the festivities. Just hope that they are not freaked out at the fact that we know carry firearms. Yes, we're bona-fide federal agents. I'm sporting a Glock and she's got the new Walther P99. Damn, I loved the new Walther. Actually, it's one of the many weapons I trained with at the "academy". Don't worry, my friends, its not going to be like Jack Bauer for me. I mostly going to be messing with computer forensics and my fiancee is involved with cryptography at her agency. Do forgive me for not divulging any information about where we work, but this is a public blog after all. So much for catch up with T. Durden.

In the last few days, the news have been humming crazy about OJ's brainfart and now, the "racist" blow-up by Micheal "Kramer" Richards. I'll, hopefully, be frank and quick about this. And I know that I will piss a lot of folks off. Trust me. Personally, of the two, the most shocking thing to me was the OJ mess. What a pair on that moron. So much acquitted from being an "alleged" murderer. Just love that double jeapordy clause in the law. Pity. And now the lesser of two evils: Micheal Richards. I love Seinfeld. I love the character Kramer. I think Seinfeld without Kramer would have been somewhat of a drag. Do I disagree with Micheal Richards behavior towards a bunch of hecklers? Absolutely. There isn't a comedian out there that hasn't been heckled. It comes with the territory and Mr. Richards should have been a bit more professional. And yes, he should apologize and he did. However, the publicized dragging through the mud of his character is undeserved. Especially at the whims of folks like Mr. Sharpton (I find it hard to call this clown a Reverend), as seen on CNN. Give me a break. As to the three brothers that are suing (insert eye roll) or at least talking about Mr. Richards, stop kidding yourselves. Wasn't the purpose of the flagrant use of the N-word in the hip-hop industry a psychological ploy to "desensitize" the meaning? And please don't sell me that "its a word reserved for black folks" excuse. A bad word is a bad word regardless of what mouth it is spewed from. You can't say a word is bad ... unless it said by certain folks. It is not flawed logic, but it makes an entire race of people seem laughable for buying into a logic scheme that paints like an enigmatic Picasso painting. Give me a break. In New York, I hated it when some of my fellow blacks on the streets would address with the N-word. I hated it because it was bad word. But most of all, I hated it because I was watching folks like myself that willfully chose to marinate themselves in their own ignorance, forsake their history, and buy into what's nothing more than a cheap corporate ploy to make a buck on the degradation of community. Yes, it is a BAD word, regardless if Micheal Richards said it out of rage or Jay-Z singing it as "term of endearment" in his top selling albums. A word to Mr. Sharpton: hang it up. You're nothing more than political white noise in socialscape. Stick to what you do best: hanging out with "moguls" in the Hamptons that sell the dignity of their community for thirty pieces of silver. Or as they call it, Music and their overpriced designer clothes lines. Impress them with your tales of the past. Maybe to redeem your poor pathetic self, you might want to rail against OJ for possibly duping most in the black community only to make them a laughingstock with his pathetic excuse of a confessi.. er, I mean "book". The only people that are deserving of an apology from Mr. Richards are the hecklers and the rest of hardworking, law-abidding black folks in the US. As to the so-called "leaders" like Jackson and Sharpton, the only gesture you're deserving of is a golden crusted middle finger. And that's from the heart. Deal with it.

I hate to go into Thanksgiving this way, but I had to say what had to be said. And as I've said earlier, it seems like my blogging days are at its end. This is not a goodbye. But let's just say that the intensity of this blog will be ... diminished. Have a good Thanksgiving everyone. And I'll see you when I see you.
