Michael Richards a.k.a. Kramer from Seinfeld goes on Racial Tirade, caught on tape!

Btw Martin Lawrence is probably 10x more racist but hey, he's black so that's ok I guess.

Manny, you didn't get the memo?

Yeah I know. I remember larry Elder talking about that, how blacks have more open racism, antisemitism and ethnic/cultural hatred for others than whites do. But you never hear about it.

This is the stupidest point of view I have ever heard...

Oops.

But who cares, really? A black comic would have gone up there next, said all the exact same shit, and it would have been funny to some of the crowd.

Once again, there are stigmas about the black community dealing with elevated levels of violent crime, poverty, welfare, etc. Black folks making jokes associated with thier own stigma is one thing. Black folks did not get this stigma all by themselves.

But if we were talking about jews who do not have any such stigma, if he went on such a racist rant, there would be no question about if it were racist or not... Just ask Mel Gibson

Any question about his tirade being racist is mind boggling and hypocrytical....

Now let's talk about OJ

Everyone white thinks Oj is a murderer... Why , because he was accused of killing a white person, and completely forgetting about planted evidence. Now all we hear these days is the white communities disgust for OJ, which I feel is nothing more then a reflection of the same stigmas which cause folks to not care about Kramer's racist tirade about blacks folks in general...


I've always said nothing has changed and this seems to prove that

The race card is tired and old and overused. Therefore it no longer lends any credence to the point.

The race card is a weak man's hand that has nothing else to offer.

Nothing more racist than a black comedien saying the same thing. If you are clinging to such thin threads you need to rethink your position.

His saying nigger and being racist while it is celebrated and embraced in black culture absolutely negates any point you have.

What is bothersome is more how silly it is to think that we should be shocked and appalled by Kramer's statements but not care about the black person's statements of things like 'cracker'. I will admit that, no, the insults are not in the same ballpark (there is no negative history behind black on white insults, but in the interest of fairness in modern times black on white crime is about 10x more prevalent than white on black crime), But they are both racist remarks and it is silly to pick and choose which to ignore and which to be horrified about. It is like someone beating their kid and simultaneously talking about how important stopping elder abuse is.

The weak kneed PC-ness of this situation is pretty offensive too, which is one of the things kramer was referring to.

Expecting people to roll over and wait for someone to tell them what to feel, what insults to ignore, what insults to be bothered by and to wait for the PC police to tell them it is ok to laugh again is bullshit. People don't want to live that way.

I hear about it, every fucking day down south. I grew up in the NW and moved here and the reverse racism is amazing, and usually from the younger ones. It really pisses me off. I've never been in such an overt situation of racism, not even when I lived as a free American woman in the middle east. Un Fucking Believable... I owe no one, not black or indian or german or jew an apology for what others have don - says the german, indian, french, irish, english, dutch bitch cracker in me.
