Well...maybe.
If you haven't heard, Michael Richards has been invited by Bernie Mac to be part of a celebrity roast where he would be the "roastee." It would be part of a series of celebrity roasts for distribution on DVD.
While, as of our press time, it is not clear as to whether or not Richards will accept. My advice for him would be just to let it go. You can't help but be who you are.
In fact, I owe somewhat of a debt to Mr. Richards; for it was after his ranting and raving at the Comedy Store with his venomous usage of the "N" word that I realized how much I had grown personally when I did not get upset. While I found what happened disappointing, I didn't get enraged like I would have once had if I heard about something like this in the past. This was largely in part due to the fact I was not surprised. I learned long ago that people show you their true selves during times of extreme stress. Quite telling.
Besides, he was on a show (Seinfeld) for a hundred years about people living in New York who never saw Black people except for at the end of the season; it was like being thrown a bone for good measure. It's cool. I get it. It's not like we were their key demographic despite New York being arguably the most diverse city in America.
You can best believe when that DVD comes out, I will be keeping that money in my pocket the same way I did when the Seinfeld episodes were released.
