Phoenix, AZ - During his August 27th show in Phoenix Arizona, comedian Katt Williams went on a rant that apparently now has some of them mainstream media buzzing.  Headlines like WHY WE NEED A DEEPER DIALOGUE ON BLACK AND BROWN RELATIONS and KATT WILLIAMS RACIST RANT: BEST YOU TUBE REPSONSES are showing up in the Google news rundown like real news pieces.  Some people are trying to equate it with the Michael Richards meltdown when he called African American hecklers the N-word multiple times.

WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC LANGUAGE

Williams was retaliating against a heckler in the audience when his tirade began.  He included some incorrect historical facts but I guess no one was there for a history lesson.  Williams, to the best of my hearing ability, never used any specific slur other than the B-word and the N-word.  Unlike the Richards incident, Williams audience did not seem to be bothered by the verbal assault and even the target of the barrage was laughing.

"... it appears to me, y'all like it over here a lot... If y'all had California and you loved it, then you shouldn't have given that mothaf*cka up. You should have fought for California, goddamnit, since you love it... Are you Mexican? Do you know where Mexico is? No this ain't Mexico, it used to be Mexico, motherf*cker, and now it's Phoenix, goddammit. USA! USA!... No n*gga, do you know where you at? USA! USA!... No n*gga, this is my hood... [security comes] F*ck him! Mothaf*ckas think they can live in this country and pledge allegiance to another country... Do you remember when white people used to say go back to Africa? And we'd have to tell them we don't want to? So if you love Mexico, bitch, get the f*ck over there! [breaks into the National Anthem]... We were slaves bitch, you just all work like that at the landscapers..."

Watch the clip and judge for yourself but I'm sure there are much more substantive events that can be a foundation for the discussion about the schisms between the brown and black communities.  This isn't it.
