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

[KillahBee]

eh, it's comedy. as someone who personally enjoys finding the limits of each person I meet (and pushing said limits), I understand how easy it is to get caught up in the whole game.

In that specific setting, there is something truly profound about him standing there calling someone a nigger.

It's definitely my interpretation, but I'd like to think he did it to prove a point - that we have a major PC pussy-footin issue in this country coupled with an insane reverse racism coupled with an insane regular racism and an overall guilt problem that all gets wrapped up in one illogical, emotionally charged anal fuck.

So the moral of the story is - stop being fucking babies, America.

If you are seriously saying that calling someone a nigger and calling someone a cracker are equal then no, I have nothing to add. It's just that absurd.

If you're so blind and pathetically liberal that you think hate can only be white on black, I hope you never get lost in some of the parts of town in U.S. cities. I'm sure you'd just end up blaming yourself for getting the shit kicked out of you and being called cracker and peckerwood while it happened. You see, I've been there. You, I'm sure, haven't.

lol, ok. I didn't say hate is only white on black, I happen to think these days that 'minorities' are by far more racist than most white people. At least in a general 'day-to-day' basis.

In terms of your attempt to compare your experiences to mine on the Internet, considering I don't know you and you don't know me........

I do not believe that calling a black person a nigger and calling a white person a cracker is even in the same league.

Maybe if the people calling white people cracker had enslaved whites, tortured the men, raped the women, and lynched men women and children for years they wouldbe close, but as it stands now its not even close.

Nigger carries with it a whole host of connotations, its not just an insult, its an implication that african americans are not humans on the same level as the rest of mankind.

Personally when a black person calls me a racial slur, it doesn't bother me in the least, especially when I think its a small price to pay for what my ancestors (from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia where my father's side of the family is from) did to theirs.

Any racial slurs are ignorant and offense, don't get me wrong, but there is something exponentially worse about an oppressor further oppressing a race that hasn't had a fair and equal shot in this nation since they arrived.

You're right as far as comparing experiences, but I doubt Canadia has much on the U.S., shitty neighborhood wise.

Nice white guilt you've got rollin' there. You are aware that the majority of slaves, were sold into slavery by other Africans?

compassion for others = white guilt?

So slaved were sold into slavery by other Africans, so that gives the buyers a a free pass? You are dealing with PEOPLE here, it doesn't matter who is selling, I'm more concerned with WHO IS BUYING.

My family came here from N. Ireland when my parents were young. My ancestors didn't do shit but work and get on with life in a positive fashion. Trust me, cracker has every bit of meaning and significance that nigger does. I don't understand how people can think that hate only means something if it comes from white folks. It's horrible either way.
