Is Michael Richards is not "famous" enough to be scolded by the Mainstream Media? Acording to Michael Levine "Richards' remarks likely will continue but won't match the level prompted by Gibson's behavior because Richards is far less famous," theVeteran publicist said. This is wrong on so many levels that I don't know where to begin.Let's start by saying that I like Michael Richards and I am a huge Seinfeld fan, but as a fan of Mel Gibson I feel with the incident involving Michael Richards has moved us two step back and in the wrong direction. Could it be that it's not fame at all but maybe whom the remarks were made about. Does the media feel that one group is more important than another? some food for thought.
For the past two days everytime Michael Richards name is mention so has Mel Gibson name been repeated. Do I hear any of them saying how Mel made his comments while impaired? NO! The media keeps lumping them together, even thought the situations were completely different. I could go on and on about this, but I won't. The bottom line is this;

People cheer for the underdog, then when you come out on top, everyone starts to ripe you apart, escpecially when you go out on a limb and do it on your own. When you cause Jealousy, Envy and Greed, it's a tale tale sign that your on top in Hollywood.

Totally agree with your assessment. Michael Richards isn't getting as much heat as Mel Gibson did and what Richards said was far worse. he said those remarks in a public place AND while sober. Also, I doubt that Richards would be harboring any resentment towards blacks like Mel was towards some Jews for the unfair treatment he got for his movie.
