chiptruth User ID: 135078 United States 11/23/2006 09:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | they didn't use it first. they were forced to use it over and over again by slaveowners. it was the word besides "work" that they heard most often. it was slavery, ya know, in the United States. so they are angry because, uh, well, racism and slavery have a legacy that have persisted and continue to persist long after the end of the civil war and the alleged delegalization of slavery. perhaps you know some wage slaves who complain occasionally about their bosses. there might be some conspiracy theorists here at GLP who suspect that Michael Richards was a victim of synthetic telepathy courtesy of psychofascist technology. If you are totally ignorant of that, I am probably wasting time trying to get an serious point across to some CRACKER. |

Isn't it funny how the person recording the entire thing didn't record those two men talking shit during the entire performance? Did any of you watch the video? It sounded like he was trying to make a point and got carried away. Then again, I didn't see the entire episode because it was NOT RECORDED. Don't judge me monkey. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 161450 United Kingdom 11/23/2006 09:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I dont understand all the commotion me! Somebody with an agenda in the background I think. And I dont know how blacks can take it out of concept, I'm not racist or anything but if the blacks started calling me white trash or something, I wouldnt really be too bothered, but I see how the racist thing is a good thing to unite them. And I dont know why they always associate the word nigger to racism, because the word means slave, not black slave, just slave. So we're all niggers really arent we! We're all slaves to something! If you want my honest opinion over this case, I think its been set up from the start, somebody pushing the hate bill forward eh! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 32062 United States 11/23/2006 01:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As a person of color, I am not mad at Richards for what he said. He is merely confirming what I already knew--that racism is not an issue that comes out in the open very often but, when it does, can have very unfortunate consequences (as "Kramer" found out). I believe he even tried to explain it that way during his career-ending tirade. |

Richards insults are insults but blacks insulting WHITES is not? You insulting the querent is NOT? How is it that you hate WHITES so much? What have we done to YOU? RICHARDS IS A JEW and has insulted jews in his act previously. I have known Italians to call each other greaser with tongue in cheek and american Indians who call each other "skins" short for redskins which they also use. They think 'Native Americans' is silly. Except for a few who are marxists sills. In private many people insult each others ethnicity and it is common among entertainment people. IMV this is not 'cool' but it is what it is. you nor I can set peoples behavior standards if Richards simply acted as he is used to among his peers including black comedians who call each other nigger and white people honky , 'white muthas' and other ugly epithets, he is simply acting from the gutter where most comics hang out gathering material for their acts. YES they go to all the gutter locals to hang with the "real people" to collect material. Besides they can get free drinks and such. Richards def got carried away but i think it is a reaction to being called just what you used against another poster here and it is, IT IS an insult. And maybe he is just tired of the BOUBLE STANDARD people like you keep trying to impose on others in your zeal to PUNISH ANYONE you think it is faddish to do to so you dont get called on it. YO! I AM calling you on your double standard and rush to slap all WHITES for slavery as excuse for your slapping a whole RACE. And My Great-great Granma did have three slaves she took excellent care of even during the war, thats the war of 'northern bankers' agression against Southern farmers, Guess you have embedded the programs that made the bankers/newspaper owners cool and all Southerners baaaaad, eh? Do as you say and not as you do, MASSA? ` |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 153757 United States 11/23/2006 02:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | some of you simple minded white folks just don't get it, do you? quit labeling or bashing liberal minded people as if it's a bad thing to be. this a much more complex issue than you are making it out to be. it's not just about michael richards ridiculous spewing his filth, but that these feelings and beliefs exist AT ALL and continue to be passed down from generation to generation. if you think that your kids aren't picking up on your short comings and insensitive tendencies, you are mistaken. please stop with the whole "everybody hates the white man" crap. if turn about was fair play, then white people would've caught MUCH hell starting quite a while ago. you know it and i know it. but it hasn't happened and won't happen. be happy, thankful, and just let it be. but don't get defensive or angry when someone gets upset about being humiliated in public as these young people were (racial slurs) and that they might get angry/sad at being reminded how some of the horrible attitudes of the past STILL haven't changed. have some empathy people! take some time to think about where this type of thinking and behavior comes from. what was mike richards carrying inside him that allowed this to happen? whatever it is, it's not cool at all. ask that same question to yourself when you see blacks (or others) exhibiting self defeating and self hating behavior. take some time to think about where this stuff is coming from and what we can do to remedy it. it didn't just pop up out of thin air. all of this stuff is a result of hate, fear, and disrespect. it's time people starting doing some serious thinking about how to remedy it. |

Does anybody have complete transcript of what both parties said? I'll bet that they deserved it! When i saw them talking about him they looked down at the floor infront of the camera like they were ashamed or guilty of being "hypocrites". I just get this vibe that they knew they were wrong too? |

How is it that coloured people have carried this on for two generations or so? You are not slaves anymore so why do you carry on as if you are?? The fact is, somebody is pushing the buttons on this case and it stinks of political influence! |

Check out the RAP MUSIC which both whites and people of color listen to.

He Vented so what--GIBSON did it against JEWS--they crucified HIM-Almost cost him his earning power, --KRAMER character(a JEWISH MAN) did it against BLACKS-- SO i give it another Week of shelf life. |

Wake up world! User ID: 160306 United States 11/23/2006 03:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Those two hecklers were probably acting like niggers. Bottom line. There IS a such thing as a modern day nigger, they are this new breed of unintelligent thug that has no class or respect for anything except money. I am not racist (I am white) but I am disgusted at these thugs that are EVERYWHERE! If someone is acting like an asshole, you call them an asshole. If someone is acting like a dickhead, you call them a dickhead. IF someone is acting like a NIGGER, WTF you think they should be called?! You want to see what a nigger looks like? Look at MTV and you'll see LOTS of them! It seems to me that at least 90% of the hip-hop genre is made up of niggers (of all colors and ethnicities) or people ACTING like niggers. It is pathetic. We have a language, and with this language we pass data, descriptions and experiences. When you look up you see the SKY, so we call it a SKY. That's simple enough isn't it? So why do people have trouble understanding that when you see someone who is a representative of the NEGATIVE faction of black people (or someone who is another ethnicity trying to ACT like one)...the word that describes him is NIGGER. When i meet an intelligent black person who acts like a respectable human being, that person is NOT a nigger. I think the non-nigger blacks should simply not worry about the N word because it doesn't pertain to them. They should understand that that word is pertaining to the dumbasses who embarass their own people. I know Bill Cosby knows HE's not a nigger. He is as disgusted with all the niggers as any white people are. So if you are black and you raise hell about the N word, you're PROBABLY a nigger. Sorry, grow up. |

Another thing! dont black folk use the "N" word ? what a sterotype! you sure are dumb. seinfeld comes on like everyday. who doesn't know who kramer is? by the way, if your not black, and feel like say'n the word, it's your right. just know your odds of something negative happening in return. |
