Train Wrecks
Mel to Michael: Slurs Happen

Michael Richards is getting support from someone who knows exactly what he's going through -- Mel Gibson.
Mel Gibson and Michael Richards
Gibson, infamous for his anti-semitic invective after being pulled over for drunk driving, tells Entertainment Weekly, "I feel really badly for the guy. He was obviously in a state of stress. You don't need to be inebriated to be bent out of shape." Ain't that the truth!

"You don't need to be inebriated to be bent out of shape." --Mel



Regarding Richards' fate in the media, Mel added, "They'll probably torture him for a while and then let him go. I like him." Of course he does.

Looks like Kramer can count on work in a Gibson flick. Perfect pairing.

46. Reading the comments from some stupid people saying that they know so much about Black History and we cry about stupid things and we are violent. Well my question is to you, if we are so violent then why did the KKK murder or terrozied black eople? Why are you kind in jail or prison or doing, selling durgs, selling their bodies on the street, also why are their white serial killers killing their on kind, like for instance the white guys that terrozied the streets of Phoneix, serial shooters and many others. Why is there a prison gang called nazi lowriders?
Civilized I think not, your kind are faaarrr very far from it. Your kind are no better.
What is so funny you racists bastards BITCH like k**ts, about how Blacks say the n word, Black comics make fun of us white people, maybe so, but how in the hell would you know? Wild guess here but it seems that you stupids must be watching them on tv, all you are doing is giving them more ratings and keeping them on the air, and lets not forget putting money in their pocket. Actually you can say what you want but if I were them I would laugh all the way to the bank. Like Chapplle said "I am rich BITCH"! Keep up the good work, keep watch.
That goes to show how smart your kind REALLY is!

48. Jews, Blacks, Whites we are all people and we really are not that different people get their defenses up and hide behind their differences. I don't hate Mel or Micheal it is a bummer that they let stereotypes represent all black people but no one is perfect. Except for totally hardcore racist I don't think the average person (of any race) really hates based on race but all it takes is a couple of a**holes to make you resent a whole group of people. To all the posters who say they hate blacks (Im black) and jews don't let a few lowlifes from other races blind you to the fact that there are cool people of all races. Peace.

49. Enough already!

I just have one question for you, Jethro...

where's the white wimmens at?

50. I find it amazing how people are still talking about all of this. Mel and Michael both screwed up. They apologized. Now get over it. Shut the hell up about it. Has no one in here said anything they later regretted? Now imagine getting raked over the coals by the media over it. Leave these guys alone. Get a f***ing life already.

51. PLEASE!!!! This is America. Why all the ugly race comments. There is a War going on. ALL OUR MEN. Black, white, yellow, brown, red, men of all colors are fighing and dieing for our FREEDOM. We should not blame or hate because the world now hates us American's. We should stick together and put our flags out and think the lord above that we live in America. That we have freedom of speech. That we can sit in front of a computer and speak our minds. But do we have to bring down nationality's to do it? God said love one another. Not the whites just love the whites and blacks just love the blacks. Love one another. ALL RACES. Stop the name calling on here. It really gets out of hand. Let's all focus on this war and how it can stop and bring our men home. Take interest in that then some stupid comment on what richards and mel said. If you don't like black people or white people go on a island and live by yourselfs. But everyone's blood is red and flow the same. I think half of these comments come from silly young boys being stupid and want to get everyone angry on here. They have nothing more to do. School must be out. And if you are a adult posting these comments. GET SOME HELP!

54. I judge people on what they SAY not what they DO. I am still a fan of Kramer and of Mel Gibson. although Kramer did go overboard with teh "50 years ago" remark but calling someone a n*gger (thats rude to the other blacks in the room who werent acting like fools and didnt deserve to have to hear that) its not that big of a deal. blacks do it all the time, as a matter of fact they have made it part of everyday language. Besides Kramer never broke any laws, and when Gibson did, he got prosecuted just like everyone else... so whats the big deal?

55. Funny, if you ask a person, in let's say Europe, how they identify themselves, they will tell you they are British, French, etc. NO MATTER what their race. They identify with the country (just ask any Canadian), not the race. Only in the US do we seperate ourselves and demand special treatment because we're African-American, Mexican-American, etc. The only way you actually can call yourself African-anything is if you were actually BORN IN AFRICA!! Otherwise you are just another dumb American (yes, I do include myself in that). The chinese were forcefully brought over here to work on the railroads, same as the blacks were brought over to work on plantations. The difference- their kids ARE NOT WHINING about the past, but are working hard to succeed in today's world. Unless you yourself were dragged onto a ship, brought over, and forced to work on a plantation, SHUT UP!

PS: After all, you are using the white-man's language, i.e. the English language.

57. I've read some pretty terrible things in these comments. I find Mel's and Richard's predicament a sad thing. Both have made some awful remarks, but they both have apologized. But do we forgive them? Nope, because we're not done tearing into them. Their kind of situation keeps the media going.
I, for one, feel badly for them and accept both of their (what I feel to be) sincere apologies.

60. Um,

The African-American term was given by the WHITE govt to distinguish american blacks from carribean blacks, and africans...IDIOT!

What does Richards have to do with African Americans asking for anything, you idiots?

The last I heard, FAMILY TIES GET WASPS INTO IVY LEAGUE INSTITUTIONS, IT'S CALLED "LEGACY"

SO STOP BEING HYPOCRITES!!!!!

LEGACY = GIVING IT AWAY TO WHITES, WHO STILL CAN'T COMPETE AFTER ALL OF THESE GENERATIONS.

THE ASIANS ARE TAKING YOU DOWN!!!

LEGACY=GIVING IT AWAY TO THE WHITES WITHOUT EQUAL PLAYING GROUND

GET THAT STRAIGHT!
