To start this blog off, I guess I will comment on something a little controversial.
Let's talk about Bryan Williams and his comment that Obama's speech delivery was a little Richard Pryor -ish. When initially reading this story, I thought "Who cares?". For one Bryan Williams is a liar and a schmuch. He has no credibility any more what-so-ever. Obama is a bore at best. So that's why the who cares thought. The story is in the responses.
There were two major responses that I would like to address.
The First: "This is a racist comment"- Why? Comparing an African American to a half African American is insulting to who?? Richard Pryor was quite the accomplished man, and (unfortunately) so is Obama. So the question remains, why is this a racist comment? If he had been compared to Gene Wilder, would it still have been racist.
The Second: "He was disrespecting the POTUS!"- So what? When did it become against the law to disrespect the POTUS? Must have been when Obama took office, because when Bush was POTUS, no-one cared.
Feel free to enlighten.
