This has nothing to do with the Sharptons of the world, really. In my opinion, the word has gotten out of hand -- out of black people's hands at least.<br /><br />Seinfeld was off the hook, but watching a re-run yesterday I was only half as interested in the show. All that brilliance just seemed kind of grotesque in a way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17311667.post-72355722793111716222006-11-30T14:28:00.000-05:002006-11-30T14:28:00.000-05:00First, all of Seinfeld is fire, save for parts of ...First, all of Seinfeld is fire, save for parts of the first two seasons. Especially if you're from New York, Jewish, and happy to only encounter black people on a very limited basis.<br /><br />Second, I don't think anyone should be using the n-word or any of its derivatives in any format. It's a poisonous word, and I'd wager that efforts to "take it back" haven't really worked out so well if it can still be so hurtful and controversial.<br /><br />Third, I liked "They Don't Really Care About Us." Not because of the ignorance or bigotry, but because it was just so crazy: he shouldn't have made it; it combined this post-industrial synth and guitar with a children's chorus--it was a hot mess.<br /><br />Fourth, you're absolutely right about the power structure, but this is nothing new.<br /><br />Fifth, the Chicken Noodle Soup looks like a minstrel-show audition.Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620135691106123184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17311667.post-88341420333434472472006-11-30T02:31:00.000-05:002006-11-30T02:31:00.000-05:00Yea I heard about that.

That song is clearly in the tradition of Snap Music/Sesame St. for Grown-Ups, and Jibbs clearly jacked the tune by way of the familiar nursery song that most American children are familiar with, "Do Your Ears Hang Low". I find the similarity you are trying to force akin to insinuating that patriotic Americans are a bunch of alcoholics because the melody of their national anthem is taken from an obscure drinking song. I doubt Jibbs can even read, moreless research the history of blackface in America.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17311667.post-1597290243802633332006-11-28T17:24:00.000-05:002006-11-28T17:24:00.000-05:00EFF YOU START! and the proverbial rhetorical Cadi...EFF YOU START! and the proverbial rhetorical Cadillac you rode in on.<br /><br />I love the Seinfeld series even more than the Cosby show but I will boycott that shit on some principle that you half azzed negroes aint built for. You need to take a page out of the Jew manual for getting your voice heard.<br /><br />Eff marching and eff voting. I vote every single day with my wallet. That is where I am going to take my fight to these supremacists.<br /><br />As long as some of you negroes will try to seperate the chaff from the wheat you will always be second class. In my book, everybody from Seinfeld takes the hit for this one. No Seinfeld DVD's, no Julia Louis Dreyfuss sitcom, no Jason Alexander TONY Awards (no Ted Haggard to the TONY Awards reference) and no effing Curb Your Enthusiasm!<br /><br />If these dudes want to play the supremacy game they are going to do it on someone elses' dime.<br /><br />(damn shame too because the hot tub episode was this season)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
