Essay 1372
More comments from Michael Richards’ radio interview with the Rev. Jesse Jackson…
“That’s why I’m shattered by it. The way this came through me was like a freight train.”
“After it was over, when I went to look for them, they had gone. … And I’ve tried to meet them, to talk to them, to get to some healing … because, um, of the hate. The hate that came … on all sides.”
“I was brought up in a Black neighborhood till I was 11 years old. My best friends were African Americans.”
“This rage has no color. I know that what I said hurt an African American. … I will take full responsibility for this and promote apology and go for healing.”
“I was in a place of humiliation, and I came out with uh, a tirade to humiliate. … There’s no justification for the things that I said.”
