Today I choose to be a racist. On other days, I am an Islamaphobe, mysogyenist, homophobe, antisemite, you name it ist, I am it, but today I am racist.

HOW TRUE !!!!!

Michael. Richards makes his point…Michael Richards, better known as “Kramer” from TV’s ‘Seinfeld’ does make a good point. This was his defense speech in court after making racial
comments in his comedy act.

In it he raised a few interesting points…

Someone finally said it.
