Reply #60: Some are trying using the 1st Amendment Right argument.

Though correct, that we need to respect, and uphold Richards' 1st Amendment Rights no matter that they were racial, hateful, and as a rich, white man in American, more than just inappropriate, it's true Richards' has the Constitutional right of Freedom of Speech.

On the other hand, all Blacks, Latinos, and others that hate racial speech should assert their 1st Amendment Right to boycott, and not buy Seinfeld DVDs, and refuse to watch their syndicated re-runs. ALL Americans should, just to nip this anti-black 1st Amendment Rant in the bud.

I believe in responsible freedom of speech; free speech that will help the debate for a better America (and Richards' rant doesn't come close), but since the Constitution doesn't put any limits or guidelines on it's 1st Amendment, the best we can do is boycott as protest, and to hold Michael Richards accountable for his tirade.

I wonder how long say, a D.L. Hughly, or a Dave Chappelle would last if they'd get on stage and call a white audience member "filthy Jew", or say "50 years ago we'd have you shoved into a chamber and gassed with your star of David shoved up your f***ing asses!".

I wonder if they'd get the minimal media exposure Blacks now get for what Richards' has done.

Then again, it would be the stand-up's 1st Amendment Right...right?
