he's got enough money to say and do whatever he wants, "******" is barely an offensive term to me anymore it's so over used / over reacted towards by non-blacks, then minorities and blacks turn it around and start protests and riots over the word they use to describe themselves in a different context... then they go out and buy jeans 10 sizes to big, wear bomber jackets and doo rags, and demand respect from white collar america, give it a rest. If he had come out and done that whole rant as a SKIT no one would be talkin about it, but since he lashed out at some idiot in the audience, it's national news *yawn* ever heard of shock value? I also found it hilarious last night in the news that the reporter goes "And Michael richards has been banned for life from that comedy club" then it goes to the owner and he says " he will be banned until he appologizes" LOL! no shit buddy, the guy brings in more people in 1 night then you probably get in a month, of course your not gonna ban him just because who he is.
I agree. It's a double standard. If you are not an african american you can't use that word, if you are you can use it in a completley different way. Once a white person says it it's racism. Now he did say a lot of other offensive things, but he was pissed about being interupted. I believe he just wanted a reaction. Like you said "shock value" which I am a fan of. I like people who rattle a few cages once in a while. He did go over the top but you don't know for sure if that is how he really feels about black people. He could have handled it alot better but he didn't know what else to do. I have not lost or gained any respect for him.
whoa, in Random Thoughts this got a lto of a harsher reaction when I posted it then again, you are jsut two people I'm with you guys so is everyone else I talked to about it from Pittsburgh and the DJs at KRock (but Howard Stern owns it, so it's expected for them to actually think rationally)
Haha, he's great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtuDR7Af7q8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcY9yr2_lG8
Dude, have you ever watched Seinfeld? I'm 100% percent sure Kramer is on crack or speed. I wouldn't fuck with that guy.
seinfeld is the only show on tv worth watching. haha for me at least soooo, what exactly did he say to that dude? my computers a peice, otherwise id just watch the video
"50 years ago we'd have you upside down with a fork up your ass" *audience laughs* "he's a ******!" *audience turns silent except for oen woman that says 'oh my god'* "he's a ******, it's a ******, throw him out, he's a ******" and that's the jist of it
So he called a man a ******, BIG deal. *YAWN* Who knows what this person was screaming at him in the first place.... and the way he just kept whining that it was uncalled for, jeez, what a fucking candy-ass. Neither gained nor lost respect.
I just love how the audience laughed at the whole lynching things but '******' appalled them 'at one time this guy's people were tortured because of there skin color' '******'
The thing is, he knew was he was saying, he knew what he wanted to say and he meant what he said. Its not so much just him calling a black man a ****** thats so bad, its his intentions that are worse. Kramer needs to come up with some real fuckin jokes and learn to be funny. Jerry Seinfeld would have come up with something witty and funny to get back at the man, not just yell out a racial slurr thats meant to mean your a piece of shit and to get the fuck out of our country because your black and nobody like you besides the commissioner of the NBA and Streetball.
