I recently took part in a race discussion on the ‘Newsweek’ blog in relation to Michael Richards’ blowout. Most of the comments were ignorant rants about white people not owing blacks anything and other attempts to deflect white guilt. Then there was this:

Comment: first i would like to say that there are exceptions to everything i say here. that being said. it’s time for blacks to realize that NO other races like them. all other races seem to get along fine. the human races are like dogs, some are smart, some are dumb, some are weak, some are strong. blacks are similar to pit bulls, they (here in america) have been bread to be strong, not smart. people who associate/own them (pit bulls and blacks) usually end up finding they are alot more trouble than they are worth. blacks wake up, everyone is afraid to say it.. but we DON’T like you
I copied this immediately because something this racist will likely be taken down. I am going to write Newsweek to ask them to keep it posted. The world needs to know this.
Stupid ass mother fucker. This kind of shit reminds me that a good chunk of the country needs a labotomy.
I think there is a good point about the Richards thing. I think all of us, no matter how hard we try, get some kind of stereotype ingrained in our psyche and need to consciously work to break it. I think Richards realized that though he didn’t think he was racist he had some internal work to do. While that doesn’t excuse his behavior it is hopeful that he acknowledged it much better than Gibson’s I only said it cause i was drunk line.
