cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com — Sinbad is interviewed by CNN and was standing in the back of the stage when he heard Michael Richards burst out into a racist tirade. "He just went off [Michael Richards]... [I thought] he must be going somewhere ... he went nuts!" Response to apology on Letterman Show: "That was the worst apology I've ever seen. That apology was a piece of trash."

It should be "Comedian" Sinbad and not Comedian "Sinbad."

Sinbad is so down to earth and real. Everything he said was true. Michael Richard's needs to come to grips with what really brought that out of him and he needs to apologize in front of the black community and accept that he may or may not be forgiven. That really is his only course of action that could gain him any respect back.

Michael Richard has already humiliated himself, apologized and has run aground in his career. His next big thing is a movie about the incident. This movie will explore black's use of the "N" word-why?.."because we are frenz" the response I got from a S. CA flagship high school in the early nineties. My response to them was: "When I go to China, Poland, Mexico, I do not hear these people calling each other "chink, polacks or wetbacks, You are the only race on the planet that call each other gentlemen and use "the illusion of friendship to justify your degradation of each other." Someone later reported me to the Black principal who has a white husband. I was barred from teaching at that school.The concluding points here are. Blacks have not yet developed a collective sense of self identity and there is confusion over ethnic designation. I was confused once until I came to terms with my plantation roots, rejected the AfrA reference and am now a part of a quietly emerging subgroup called Nabab-NAtiveBornAmericanBlack, and I am proud of my old plantation. gentlemen used to be an absolute description of Black Negroes, but it is now a character description. There are gentlemen in every race.My other point is that Michael Richard is a now social icon who represents the backbone of white America, who subconciously still hold in their hearts and minds what Michael blurted out indiscriminately under heckling and harassment form "main stream blacks."The final point is: If blacks keep calling each other such names, and get offended whena "white looking person" does the same to them, they need to reconsider what it means to be a person with a strong sense of self identity. Michael Richards should now be left alone to seek help as he publicly went over the line. What if he has black relatives in his heritage?
