I hate to go here because it sounds like Im defending him or something, but Hollywood people are just people. They have their beliefs and they are intitled to them. I couldnt care less what Richards or Gibsons views are. I either watch their shows/movies or I dont, but its not based on their views, Its based on their work. Its like a barber or car mechanic. Who cares what their views are as long as they do their job.
I did get a good laugh from a radio call in show the other night. They were discussing what Richards said and racism in general. The comical part was how hard and ackwardly people avoided the word ******. For half an hour I listened to this show, not once did anyone say it. They said "the N word" repeatedly. One person even spelled it, but would not say it. One black man called in and said "*****", which is apparently different. They had a group of adults, late at night trying to have an open discussion about someone using the "N word" in a racial text and they cant even say it.
I guess I just dont get it. Its only a word. Its one of thousands of words, a few of which are considered inappropriate and vulgar but they dont scare people like this one.
EDIT: OMG, its a banned word here to. *****, ****, *****, *****, ****.
Whats up with that? Why can I see these but not ******? What better way to illistrate my point. That is hillarious.
