Michael Richards Is A Victim Of America & His Own Meltdown

Comedian Paul Mooney was interviewed last week by Nathan Rabin of The Onion's A.V. Club and had this to say on subject of the N-word and the infamous heckler incident that made him reevaluate ever using it again:

AVC: You've vowed to stop using the N-word.

PM: I won't be using that, no. That's a no-no.

AVC: What was the reasoning behind that?

PM: Well, Michael Richards, his meltdown. His nervous breakdown is what did it.

AVC: How so?

PM: Well, it was something else. I heard about it, and then I saw the video, and it freaked me. I'm not easily freaked. And the way I used the word, I was an ambassador for the word. The way I used the word, I was a part of it too. It became an equal-opportunity word. All the little white kids, all the little Latin kids, the Asians, the Mexicans, they were all using it. And it shouldn't be equal opportunity. Even though some people say "We use the n-a, not the n-e," it doesn't matter. A goat's a goat. Whether you sauté or barbeque it, it's still a goat. And there were layers to his breakdown, to Michael. I've known Michael for over 20 years. There were layers to it. This came out of Michael. Michael's a victim of America. There are a lot of white people who have this stuff inside them. It just takes the right situation to bring it out. White America should take responsibility for it like I'm taking responsibility for it. I'm not saying it. You have to say no to it. I was married to the word, I was the ambassador for the word and now I'm not saying it any more.

  • I must express appreciation to the writer for bailing me out of this type of circumstance. Right after exploring throughout the the net and getting things which were not beneficial, I figured my entire life was done. Living minus the strategies to the issues you have fixed all through your entire review is a serious case, and the kind that would have badly damaged my entire career if I hadn’t discovered the blog. Your actual training and kindness in taking care of a lot of things was helpful. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not come across such a stuff like this. I can also at this point relish my future. Thank you very much for your reliable and amazing guide. I will not be reluctant to propose the blog to any person who needs and wants counselling on this matter.
