Richards says anger, not racism - Kramer from Seinfeld

[7EL7]

LOS ANGELES - He called two black hecklers the “n-word” and enthusiastically referenced a time when blacks were often victims of civil rights abuses, but Michael Richards said his verbal barrage during a stand-up routine was fueled by anger and not bigotry.



“For me to be at a comedy club and flip out and say this crap, I’m deeply, deeply sorry,” the former “Seinfeld” co-star said during a satellite appearance for David Letterman’s “Late Show” in New York.
“I’m not a racist. That’s what’s so insane about this,” Richards said, his tone becoming angry and frustrated as he defended himself.

Did anybody see his apology? Oh, and by the way, racism is alive and kicking. We don't need to talk about the past because we have current events that reflect the attitudes of the past. And "kramer" is a shriner mason.

i dont know id accept his apology but he'z gotta put in mad work to win any respect from me but im not black. he pissed off a grip of white folkz too, soundz like he needz help

[Black Man]

When was the last time you saw/heard a person other than white do what he's done?

And the so-called racial slurs that people of color call white people are not racist terms but actuall terms of people in specific positions. Cracker is not rooted in racism, its what the person who did the whipping was actually called. The cracker would take a bull whip and beat people with his whip and the sound that it created was a crack, thus the person doing it was called a cracker.

Have you heard/seen his apology?

[Sicka than aidZ]

Dont get me wrong....what he said was wrong 100%. But lets not act like he is the 1st to do so or the last.....ppl from every race say racist shit.....

this is like what i was sayin to ed man "it doesnt matter",.. if it offendz people and promotez racism then itz racist. i doubt most white folkz care where the fuck the word is from, i know i dont. if u called me a cracker infront of otherz and they expected me to defend myself id be pissed cuz id be in the middle of this racial shit....again. i dont know i might read your next post but i ignore u 99% of the time cuz your just weird. staycool. peace

Who cares what the word is rooted in. It encites a racial response. It is used racially. It is a racist word. Honkey. Wetback. Spic. Whiteboy. Chink. Gook. Wop. Haji. Etc etc they are all used racially and are all racial slurs.......black ppl are not the only ones who feel racism you white fagit.

Who else feels racism? People of color? Yes of course. White people? I don't think so. Please tell me, in what areas of life are white people effected by racism? Politics? Education? Labor? Religion? Law enforcement? Where and when are white people effected by racism?

And since you don't know the origins of these words nor why they are used, out of ignorance all you can say is "black ppl are not the only ones who feel racism..."

[Sicka than aidZ]

i didnt see him apologize but i saw the vid and it shocked the hell outta me. like watching a kkk meeting. im glad the audience left. ill bet he didnt get paid. i hope he didnt. he probably had to have the copz come and escort his dumbass threw the airport. dude he'z retarded i wish someone had thrown shit at him from the crowd i know i would have

[snapple]

^^ he went back and performed again the same night man! how fucked up is that.

[Dirty Knowledge]

What about a recent Chris Rock show I saw where he kept saying, to the delight of the crowd which chimed in and even finished the statement, "If it ain't white, it ain't right", and no body said nothing about that. What about aaaall the times when Chris Rock uses his racial stereotypes against white people? I see this type of shit when I watch BET Comic View all the time. "Cracker this, cracker that" "White people do this, isn't it funny when white people. . . " so why the fuck do people get so angry about Kramar or whoever the fuck this obviously dead-talent bum says? It's hypocritical if you ask me, with a capital h. Just because of slavery it's cool though for it to be vice-versa. I'm tired of hearing this shit because ever since I watched it in the thread yesterday I have seen it ALL over TV, people talking and even the paper. It's so fucking stupid. We got a war going on where African-Americans, Latin-American and Caucasians are being blown up equally and dying for (unjust?) causes yet EVERYONE INCLUDING FOX NEWS AND LETTERMAN? can take time to point out the fact that some fucking washed-up BUM called some hecklars a NIGGER? Hahaha, and you wonder why some people say "shit will never change".
