"Seinfeld" was one of the popular sitcoms out there. The show about nothing captured audiences both young and old. It gave way to phrases and episodes that are unforgettable:
Man Hands
the Elaine Dance
Junior Mints: "It's chocolate, it's minty. It's delicious!"
Soup Nazi. "No Soup for you!"
I digress. Apparently, Kramer, aka Michael Richards, lost it at a recent comedy event. Surprising to say the least. It just might rival Mel Gibson. The racist outburst sent the audience packing, after they recovered from their utter shock and surprise, of course. It's worth a look at the article and the video.
Blog looks good!
Too bad about Kramer, I would be interested to see what they did with the hecklers. Their actions were pretty rude.
I am tired of all the complaining in this country about the "n" word, when every time I listen to my kids music or see a black comedian on tv, this word is used over and over again.To me, if there is a word I hate, I would hate it no matter who said it, if the word is so offensive, it should not be used by any one of any color certainly not the ones who are most offended. Further, in all of the outrage, it is clearly overlook that the black men, called him a cracker and were beyond rude, but, I guess that is just ok! people should lead by example, if you are offended by this word or any other similar word, stop using it yourselves...
For other uses, see Nigger (disambiguation).
Nigger is a slur term used to refer to dark-skinned peoples, especially people of African ancestry. Although sometimes used by black people themselves (especially those who feel an affinity for hip hop culture) as a somewhat self-deprecating term that is suggestive of familiarity and endearment, the word is most often regarded as offensive.
At the time of the Atlantic slave trade, nigger was a casual English language term for black people. The word later became associated with an overt contempt, a racist assumption of inherent black inferiority, making it extremely pejorative.
This is the actual definition from Wikapedia. Please note the fact that black people use it (many times) to call each other, however for a white person to use it, it is somehow worse. Please explain that illogical thinking. I agree with Tammy. Richards was wrong to get so out of hand, but I think as usual, a bigger deal was made out of a white person using the word than if another black person did. I think Richards should not worry about it and stop apologizing and Jesse Jackson should just do everyone a favor and not chime in for once. No one cares what he thinks.
