Poll question: After seeing Michael Richards apologize, do you still think he's racist?

He was just on Letterman by video feed. No transcript available yet, but I'm sure one will be soon.

Here are some earlier threads for those who don't know what I'm talking about.

1. Good poll. One of the few ways white folks can express their support of racism...

... without fear of recrimination. I conjecture we'll see it expressed.

4. Me either - but then this poll is sinking like a rock - very few responses at ALL.

I thought it would be on fire - so much for my prescience - lol!

6. Um - no? I'm not the poll-maker? Huh? lol!

Not sure how that response comes naturally out of what I said - but whatever.

9. Locking.

A few threads on the incident is understandable, especially in GD (dupes are allowed), but this just seems to be flamebait.

Thanks.
