How can a "word" truly cause so much emotional consternation when blacks use it with blacks all the time?

It might not have been a word so much as a general vibe in his message.

If he would have just called them *******s when they heckled him it wouldn't have even been news, but he made it a racial thing.

Until someone other than Bill Cosby actually condemns their race from using the word then kramer, or anyone for that matter should be able to say it all they wan't...Maybe I went a little far there, but the double standard is ridiculous.  Walk around the streets of New Haven CT for 15 minutes and you will hear blacks saying to other blacks "yo n*gga, what up n*gga" 15 times!  It is out of control.

Richards had a meltdown. What the video didn't show was him flopping. The ordeal started when people in the VIP section were ignoring him and being noisy. He went off on them to STFU and the black guy applauded Richards. Here is where it went strange, Richards starts going off on the black guy that was on his side. That's where the video starts.

I couldnt agree more.  It seems like the media cant wait to declare someone's career over.  They are saying Tom Cruise is 'finished', like Michael Jackson, since he got married (really...read the Fox 411 thingy).  

I mean...huh?

As for the comic double standards...Andrew Dice Clay learned that one some time ago.  Potty mouth Eddie Murphy was all that in the 80s.  Now he's in zillions of kiddy movies.  Go figure.

What a shame..

If he had been black and named Chapelle then the crowd would laugh their brains out.

Kramer was the only funny one in the Seinfeldt show (the large balled guy was funny too) . Too bad he went ballistic, cause i think he may have had a chanse at starting his own tv show as Kramer without that booring Seinfeldt around.

I agree with sandie that it is a big deal over nothing.   I can't believe that a word that is so often used by so many people with no stigma is not allowed by others.    

If negroes can say it then everyone should be able to.   It really is that simple.

I give him more credit for speaking personally about it on Letterman and not just making a press release through a spokesperson.

The video is difficult to watch.  Not only because of the hate during the whole rant, but also because I think we actually witness him having a nervous breakdown, or at minimum some sort of anxiety episode.  He is not a stand-up commedian, he is a character actor.  He never seems comfortable when I see him in interviews or trying to be spontaneous.  I think he simply lost it.

He never used the dred "N" word!!!!!!!!  the word that will burn the tounges of the melinin challenged white debil!@!!!!!!

It is so silly... lefties should be making fun of the "N" word... the ACLU should be rushing in to make it a household word...

"Once the word comes out of your mouth and you don't happen to be African-American, then you have a whole lot of explaining," Rodriguez told CNN. "Freedom of speech has its limitations and I think Michael Richards found those limitations."


The proof of the double standard is right here.  Who gives a rat's flug what he said.  If he truly hates blacks, thats his deal.  In my opinion, blacks can condemn the word and references to racial inequality when they stop using them themselves.

This is not news worthy.
Title: Kramer goes nuts
Post by: storch on November 21, 2006, 10:38:18 AM
don't worry the pendulum is swinging back in the other direction.  more and more people are becoming tired of blacks getting away with overt racism and calling blacks who exhibit this behavior on the spot for it.  if a black person makes a racist statement in my presence he or she gets called on it immediately.  I'm happy to say that I'm not the only one that does this publically.  one doesn't need to be crass about how you call them on it but they do need to corrected about it.

Most of us don't use that word, but many of you clearly seem to know more blacks  (or negroes, in Lazs' case) than I do.

"all blacks this" and "all blacks that." Since you seem to know so many, why not find one of your black friends or people you know, and ask them?

Educated and thoughtful people wouldn't use that word, which is probably why most of the posters here are SO disappointed at not feeling allowed to use it.

The word demeans and denigrates, regardless of who says it. It's not a term of endearment to me, and I think less of someone who uses it.

Maybe it is a double standard form your perspective. I don't believe it is, since it's used as a sign of kinship within certain circles, but an insult when someone not black, or not affiliated with the community that embraces that language, uses it.

It's unfortunate, but not at all surprising, that many of you fail to comprehend the complexity of that argument.

I say, have at it. Exercise free speech, say what you want, I'll bring the popcorn.

red bottom... I currently don't have any negro black afro american whatever is current "friends" .

I do have normal hearing and I do get around.  I have heard plenty of negros use the big "N" word and the small "n" word (negro)   as in "hey negro whats up" kinda deal.  

I think that you condoning one race using a word and not another is despicable and racist.

I don't think whites should be able to use the term cracker or honky or redneck but have it denied to other races for instance but... by your feeble reasoning.... it should be.

You only make things worse in my opinion.

I thought The Late Show did a really bad job by not telling the audience that this was not a skit but an interview.  I actually thought that Seinfeld was talking to the band when he said that because members of the band were laughing.

If I saw Seinfeld walk out, sit down and say a few words, and then Dave say "We are going live to Michael in California", I would have thought it was a skit too.

Thats pretty much it in a nutshell-- 'Kramer' is one of them, and this story wil be long forgotten in a week. Were 'Kramer' a conservative, ultra religious type, he would have to leave the country.

George Allen used the obscure Spanish insult  term 'macaca', and the Washington Post ran it front page for 3 weeks, and Allen lost his re-election by 7000 votes out of 2 MILLION + cast--

Trent Lott didnt even SAY a racist term, he merely alluded to the 1948 presidential race during a birthday celebration of a 100 year old man who was a participant (a 100 year old man who voted FOR the 1964 Civil Rights Amendment) Was on front page of every main stream paper and news broadcast for weeks== the only question was whether he would be kicked out of the Senate altogether, or just lose majority leader status.

Jesse Jackson describes New York as 'Hymie' town...forgotten in a few days

Dem Senator Robert Byrd was IN the KKK, and only a few years ago used the 'N' word on national tv....nuthin

Rather than the drama of "two racists", I see a few dudes doing their best to insult each other, pushing those buttons to get a reaction.

Remove race, class, religion, language or whatever from the equation.. we'd still find reasons to hate each other, like eye color.. you cant trust those blue eye devils!!

Yep, ever witness an interacial marriage spat? Same thing but they still end up going home with eachother.

Look at europe. As an american you probably thought that all white people are the same ethnicity. Simple american. When you visit europe you'll learn that there are hundreds of ethnicities that are also white, with lots of reasons do dislike the other inferior white races.

Even the people in a place as racially and culturally homogenous as the british isles have found plenty of differences to keep them hating eachother for thousands of years to come.

sandie is of course correct...  words are just words.   the redbottoms of the world are the ones who are the racists.

When women get angry at you they use the worst words they can think of to anger or shame you... if they call you a studmuffingot... does that mean that they hate all gays?    If you use the word studmuffingot are you a homophobe?

negroes are just fun to poke at because they are so sensitive.

My girlfriend is of mexican decent... I am of Scottish decent... we make fun of each others background all the time....  of wait...  It's ok for us because well...our relationship gives us special rights on the first amendment?

silly crap.   You can be angry with on black or one mexican or one redneck or one jew... or a group of em and say whatever mean thing comes out.. that doesn't mean automatically that you hate that entire race.

The way negroes react is one reason why I avoid that race.... way too sensitive for me.   Way too special.  I don't need to be around people that feel they are special.

redbottom says that I don't think.. meaning in this case, that I am not thinking of how special the negroe case is... He is right and ya know what...  so long as I am required to think of them as special.... I will just avoid them... that is much easier now isn't it?

I think he turned to race because he wanted to be as offensive and hurtful as possible. They were being loud and obnoxious, and set him off, and he pulled out the proverbial nuclear warhead of American slang to get their attention and make it sting. It worked. They were no longer joking amongst themselves, and gave him their attention. Negative, but attention nonetheless.

Sure, maybe he was fed up with the apologetic political correctness that's deboning this country; maybe he was fed up with the sense of entitlement that certain segments of the population grant themselves on a daily basis because their upbringing didn't include the concepts of respect and discretion; or maybe he was just tired of having a couple loud-mouthed cretins ruining his show. Either way, I don't think it's national news.

Have you seen the number (Percentage) Of Jews in Hollywood productions?  Can you honestly say they arent hiring based on this?  Mel was drunk and probably (UNDERSTANDABLY) bitter over the attempt hollywood made to do as much damage as they could to his movie.

Chris Rock can call us white people "Cracker" every 3 seconds with total immunity... to me this Kramer thing is nothing...  Just someone trying to fuel a lawsuit.

Trent Lott didnt even SAY a racist term, he merely alluded to the 1948 presidential race during a birthday celebration of a 100 year old man who was a participant (a 100 year old man who voted FOR the 1964 Civil Rights Amendment) Was on front page of every main stream paper and news broadcast for weeks== the only question was whether he would be kicked out of the Senate altogether, or just lose majority leader status.

Jesse Jackson describes New York as 'Hymie' town...forgotten in a few days

Dem Senator Robert Byrd was IN the KKK, and only a few years ago used the 'N' word on national tv....nuthin

gimme a high speed connection and a few hours and I could fill a book




:rofl


You're dead on the target.

If I remember correctly, the zionist conspiracy failed pretty badly at stopping Mel's movie from being a commercial success, or him from raking in his requisite 9 figures. Mel, on the other hand, seems to ascribe more than just some bad press to the Juden, but, 'all the wars in the world'. On the same note, it wasn't just Hollywood that was offended by that movie, but many other non-affiliated Jews as well. They had a right to their opinion, but opinion or not, the movie was never torpedoed. Quite the opposite, in fact.

As for Jews and Hollywood in general, I know what you mean, it is rather annoying how they stick together like that, how all the Stiens and Mans and Witz's seem to be garnering all the megabucks while the true salt of of the earth is relegated to swilling budweiser and losing teeth.

Fear not! The zionist shall yet perish under our boot! We must to kill all the Juden, and ve vill!! Herr Gibson shall lead us to the final victory, and ve shall follow into the promised utopia!!! Long live the motherland!!

they sure as hell attempted to torpedo it... it was subjected to condemnation before it was even viewed!  I tell ya...

For mels statement... He was drunk... If everything any of us said while we were drunk was taken seriously... how many women out there would actually think we were attracted to them because of their eyes???

Hi,

The name is not Heinrich although I am of German Descent.  First of all... You are right the Hollywood cartel failed in their attempt to torpedo the movie... they just didn't have the numbers... but they do have the media and they used it as heavily as possible.  You seem to characterize my posts as anti-semitic but they simply are not.  I was pointing out facts, about the percentages of Jews used in movies and television and the fact that this was clearly a factor in deciding who is hired and who is not.  I wouldn't care if it were indians or chomorros doing this - if it is a fact, it is a fact, it doesnt matter who is guilty.

Richards, like the rest of the Seinfeld cast are (at best) Marginal talents but I find what he did no more or less offensive than being bombarded by Chris Rocks (or any other minority comedian) characterization of the white race as the root cause of all the worlds problems and we are always subjected to any and all names they wish to call us... But ohhhhh noooooo we best not return the favor!

If I were the sensitive "chip on my shoulder" type... I would wonder what your "hatred" of Germans is all about but I realize you truly think you are being clever...

Like I said, Hienrich, I don't care about what Richards said in the least bit. It was directed at a couple of morons in the crowd and should not have affected the rest of the ethnicity. It was, of course, because his choice of expression was poor. Gibson's comments did address the whole ethnicity, and yet you characterized them as 'understandable'. You also refer to it as a cartel, and yet, somehow, many of the biggest players in this cartel are anything but Jewish. Next you'll be talking of how the jews have greedily monopolized the legal and accounting profession. The song never changes.

And I don't hate Germans. I hate people who classify casual antisemitism as: 'understandable'. Nor was I trying to be clever. Not in the least bit. I just recognize how your kind smells, even when I get only a small whiff. I will, however, repeat myself in saying that were the Jews half as bad as your ilk would like to think, this would be a far different world.

Bob are you cramping or something?   I have never seen anyone without PMS make such a leap from logic.  My Ilk???  What the hell?? I said nothing anti-semitic at all... I characterized those who tried to torpedo mels movie the way they were and the way they acted... A cartel... and, I never said they were ALL jewish... although for a mere 2% of the US population, they are HEAVILY represented, arent they?

Just as the Hollywood cartel had the right to attempt to rip mel's movie before it even played, he has the right to like or dislike whomever he chooses. (Especially those who colluded to damage his project) Unfortunately he blew his top while drunk in a very public way. He also had no damn business on the road after drinking.  He is paying for that mistake bigtime because as Ron White says: "At that point he had the right to remain silent.... But didn't have the ability"

BTW those who founded the studios in Hollywood did so to avoid paying royalties to Thomas Edison, so I guess you could say Hollywood got its' start by corrupt people during WW1.

I strongly suggest you switch to decaf... I have not said one thing offensive to anyone who isn't hurt by the truth!  You have called me a "Moron", "Nearly-Literate",  "Heinrich" and have attempted to characterize those who call the Hollywood cartel what it is... A cartel... as "Beer Swilling" and "Toothless"... For someone so offended by namecalling, you sure as hell spout off quite a bit of it yourself!  So, check yourself boy... everytime you point a finger, you got 4 more pointed back at you.
