Obviously you miss the point.

I can call my best friend a whore, and we laugh about it. If someone else called her a whore, we would tell them to STFU.

Some of my friends can call me "toots" or some other female degrading name that I don't particularily like, but if someone I didn't know called me that, again.. they would be told to STFU.

Certain groups try to reclaim words like N i gger and queer so that they can pull the negative conotation away from it, but when others use it, and it has been historically proven that the word has been used to demean that group, it's often inappropriate.

As for the guy retorting by calling him a cracker, well... we're all juvenile when it comes to "defending" ourselves. He called him a n1gger, he gets called a cracker. Tit for tat.

Kramer was totally out of line, and personally, I don't blame the club for banning him.

oh yeah, i totally agree. its just that i dont believe making fun of racial stereotypes a priori makes you a racist anymore than making jokes about fat people means you dont like the fatties either. i think the audience is important, which is why i would never make a racist joke on TA but would with close friends that know i dont mean what im saying.


Yep.

sure, sometimes we "x" cuss word in spanish (marica, cerote, culero, cabron etc) or english (******, bitch, [cunt etc) to refer to each other casually, but we never use latin racial slurs with each other.

From Youtube:

quote:
"I was there. The guy he was yelling at was being an Ass Hole. He started the racist shit first. He wouldn't shut up. They called him at least 10 different names. He said "you suck, your an idiot, a dumb ass white mother #$%#er" and on and on. You only see 2 minutes. It was 10 minutes of two Black guys #$%#ing with him. They tried to piss him off and it worked."

quote:
If you know the whole story, the heckler was talking shit through out the whole act. "Kramer" couldn't even get one joke in, without this guy saying something. Then when "Kramer" calls him out, the guy gets all butt-hurt and pissed.


Not defending him..but.. that may have at least softened the blow a bit if we saw that footage too

interesting. who knows what any of us would have done in a situation like that. resorting to racial slurs is crossing the line though, i agree.

but let's face it, we're all racially prejudiced to a certain extent. i don't think anyone can deny that we all have certain pre-conceptions of other ethnic/racial groups.

no need to drop the n-bomb though, lol

Thank you. That's exactly what I've been trying to say for a while now, and it's nice to hear a bit about what happened during the parts we didn't see.

Jerry Seinfeld was just on Letterman, and invited Richards on to have a chance to apologize. He seemed genuinely very shaken about the whole incident, was upset with the audience at Lettermen for laughing at him when he tried to apologize, offered his sympathies and admitted that he had got out of hand and needs to do a bit of personal work.

It's pretty sad that you have to insult someone based on their skin colour for heckling at a show. It's even worse that people were laughing at it, he seems like a pretty sad old white man.

+1 to my dad.



This is highly idiotic. What difference does it make if your dad served with black people in Vietnam? Was the guy in the audience one of the men your dad fought alongside?


Posted by AndreaCKY772 on Nov-21-2006 19:45:

i might be the last one to post in this thread, who knows, but...

i like to read comments of videos on youtube aftr i watch the videos and i was so shocked at some of the remarks. someone said they gained respect for kramer, people were saying it's the funniest thing they ever saw, people said it was no big deal.

i don't find it funny when people call each other ethnic slurs. why would i laugh at an asian being called a "ch*nk" or a white person a "cr*cker"? a lot of young people have no fucking sense today.

and to wizniz who said +1 to your dad, you're correct because you've met all the black people in the world and can agree with your dad. sure thing.

I've already pointed out my annoyance at this just above your post, i mean Wizniz, what a load of shit. There is literally no end to how stupid you sound right now.

Petty things should be regarded lightly, for to regard them gravely is to empower them. Those who take a racial slur seriously accomplish nothing but to empower racism.
