I swear, some people just really need to know when to STFU! I saw the clips from his rant and it is truly embarrassing.

In my opinion, the only thing that makes him a little better than Gibson is the fact that he did not blame his stupidity on something or someone. I still would not spit on him if he were on fire but at least he took the blame for his actions.

I agree. As much as I love "Kramer", there's no excuse for an outburst like that. At least he gave a true "I'm sorry" apology instead of "I'm sorry if I offended anyone" apology which has been the typical apology lately (from people like Kerry and Gibson).
 
Before you people get all wound up.....

Kramer goes off with the "N" word.....is it excuseable?

Whats the difference between Chris Rock ranting

about "crackers" in his comedy routine??

Granted Edwards flipped over some black people heckling....

but whats the difference between someone calling a

black "******" or calling a white a "cracker or honkey" ?

Whether or not it is in a heated exchange...whats the

racial difference....

Is it ok honkey? 😉

There is no difference at all, and to add one more little tid bit, if the comedian had been Black we would'nt even be discussing this rediculous subject.

Im sure most have heard RAP (Retards Attempting Poetry) blasting from a car stereo at a stop light or what have you, and the word '*****' seems to be quite fashionable these days.

Personally I find all racial slurs offensive no matter the context.

Today I heard the Chris Rock sound bite with him using plenty of "racial slurs". I was pretty appalled. Never heard that in the media.
 
In general I agree with the sentiment that any racial slur is uncalled for.

Having said that, context and who says what has a lot to do with how things are received.

Michael Richards was angry. He was not being funny. He used a word that whites have to be very careful using and he was using it in a very angry mean way. There was no humor involved.

Yes there are double standards in comedy. You can make jokes about your own people. If you are a minority, you can make jokes about other minorities. Blondes are fair game for pretty much anyone. Whites have to be very careful about making jokes about minorities.

I don’t know if it’s right or wrong. A comedian should be funny. Some people like Andrew Dice Clay type humor. I find it disgusting. I don’t care for Richard Pryor or Edie Murphy in his later stuff. I like Bill Cosby, Blue Collar comedy tour, Paul Rodriguez and several others.

Michael Richards crossed the line. The only thing I think he has going for him is that he took the blame for his actions. I still believe he is a racist.

As for the ‘N’ word and cracker being in the same class. IMO, it’s not even close. He ‘N’ word carries so much history and so much anger. For it to be used in the context that Richards did, cross all lines of decency, common sense and every thing else. The only thing that I can think of that comes even close would be to call a woman the ‘C’ word and that is still a far cry from the ‘N’ word.
 
Look...you can't have it two ways in regard to racial intolerance.Either 'N' and 'cracker' are the same or we have a big grey area.

This is part of whats wrong in this country with PC and such.

Funny,see a group of young blacks and watch them greet each other...the 'N' thing is their favor choice....

We come together on the same ground to end these kind of things once and for all or have it two ways for ever.
 
Let me put it this way then. It is the difference between you calling your sister a b1tch and someone else calling your sister a b1tch.

Intent and context make all the difference.

So with your twisted logic, A Minority can call your sister a B!TCH and its acceptable, but a white person had better be careful what they say?

Priceless...simply friggin priceless... :lol:

Let me put it this way to you...If I called my sister a b1tch, my dad would have slapped me silly. Therefore, I never call my sister a b1tch. IMHO, parents of black kids who call other black kids "niggah" need to slap the s*** out of their kids when they do that, to teach them respect for themselves and their heritage.

I've noticed that younger white kids are pretty into rap and hip-hop. I don't notice any disclaimers from the "artists" (and I use that word loosely) that tells them that it's okay to call a black person "niggah" as long as you are black, but it's unacceptable for a white person to do the same. What are their 'fans' to think?

I grew up in the south during the 1960's. I've lived through the desegregation of my junior high school. I was also taught very early on that it was unacceptable for me to use the "n word" to describe a black person. Back then it seemed, not very many black folks were calling each other that name. I always thought that Martin Luther King had a dream that that particular word would drop from our language. I wonder what he would think if he could see the "stars" of the black music scene today tossing that word around so brazenly.

Good post.

I don't understand a few things here, for example: Black Folk always complain that they are being discriminated against, yet when I call just about any federal or state government agency it always seems to be a black person I must deal with. In the cop movies the top dog of the sheriff or country district office attorney always seems to be a black person and many times a woman. Yet Chis Rock can be a flaming anti white boy and people clap. Hollywood agenda?


I have been turned down for different jobs and even careers for apprenticeship programs because I was a white boy. Understand they needed the manpower, but it had to be black manpower.

In today’s society it's my opinion that if black people are being discriminated against, then it's in their mind and their own doing due to the way they act and perceive themselves. The “nâ€￾ word wasn’t used in the right sentence structure, for example like they do constantly when greeting each other. This went against proper etiquette, according to the black community. They will use this latest issue as ammunition for the restitution they demand from the USA Government.

I believe a "n" word is way too soft of a term to call some individuals, but then again they grew up with drug lord gangster as their mentors and heroes, what can you expect.

This entire issues is blown way out of proportion because the liberals have made speaking ones mind a carnal sin with their moronic self important anti-God vision of how what and when individuals should act and speak according to their very distorted, twisted and dysfunctional reality.


Their are very bad white boys same as black boys, why is this so distorted, because the liberals say it should be.


Fire way my flaming friends, I have on my shield of armor.
 
Let’s take it one issue at a time.

Michael Richards.
What he did was way across the line. Most people find the word offensive to say the least. What makes it worse is that he used it in anger and in conjunction with other explicative. He can try and apologize his way out of it but as far as I am concerned, that bridge was not just burned, it was blown up. Alcohol does not turn one into an anti-Semite and anger does not turn one into a bigot. Those beliefs and ideals are there, swimming around in a cesspool waiting to escape.

B1tch
No, what I said is I can call my sister a b1tch and it’s ok. She is family and what’s more, it’s my family. When I get angry and a family member I can call them things under my breath, or tell a friend that my "insert name here" is a royal ####. You on the other hand do not have the ‘right’ to walk up to me and tell me that my ‘insert name here’ is a b1tch. It takes on a different connotation and implies a different set of emotions.

Double standard
Yes there is a double standard. I don’t know that I agree with it but it exists. A person can make fun of their own people. That’s why Paul Rodrigues can make fun of other Mexicans and rapers can use the ‘n’ word. I do not like that word. I will never use it whether it be in a joke or normal conversation. Whites are like blondes in the comedy world. Everyone can take a shot at us and get a pass for the most part. Even that pass has its limits. Most of the jokes I have heard are funny. There are some that are not and when a comedian crosses that line the know it. I think Andrew Dice Clay is a good example of that. He was a flash in the pan. He rode a small wave and crashed. You never hear about him any more and I would like to think that it is because his humor (and I use that term loosely) was vile and degrading. It crossed the line and it was not funny.

KC
I agree with you that parenting skills are sorely lacking in this country. Empathy is something that is lacking as well. My parents always raised me to treat others as I would like to be treated. I grew up being ridiculed for various things growing up as a child. Perhaps that made me hypersensitive to other peoples feelings. I try and put my self in their shoes before I say or do something. If their actions do not affect me, then I let it pass. I try and do the right thing for the right reason, not for some reward.

People need to understand that words hurt. They can hurt an individual and they can hurt a collective group. When singers or comedians use the ‘n’ word it takes the history associated with that word and marginalizes it. It takes the pain and suffering that is associated with that word and tells it "it’s no big deal’. That bothers me a great deal. It is as if history did not happen. Although given history classes in school, I am not surprised. We covered WWII in 2 days. Not like slavery, native americans or other major events in history are addressed properly.
 
What I don't get is why he's doing stand up anyway. Was his Seinfeld contract and residuals off it not enough?
