AND IT IS ABOUT RACE. Chevy Chase also is reported to have said unpleasant things about Bush but only Goldberg was singled out. It's unfortunate that some people have such closed minds, unwilling to see the truth. That's why racism continues to flourish in this society;people refuse to acknowledge the obvious. As a black person, I have observed this scene being played many times. African Americans are always treated far more harshly than whites who have committed similar infractions. All one has to do is observe the judicial system;a system in which blacks are given longer sentences than whites who have committed the same crimes. Even in the schools, black students who misbehave are put into special classes,suspended or sent to special schools. Administrators are much more reluctant to take such measures against white students. It is absolutely absurd for you to assert that the treatment of Goldberg is not racially motivated given the history of this country.
