Was Michael Richards wrong for using the "N" word in his show?

Question

I guess what I'm trying to say is- were the hecklers white?

That's nice that no name says he can't make amends- you are supremely important, aren't you, no name? What a reason to apologize, I guess.

Answer 1

They were black, and in my opinion, they got what they deserved.

Answer 2

The hecklers were African/American. People such as Jamie Fox can use the N word because he is black.

It's like any ethnic group making a remark about their own kind. It's accepted but if someone outside that group said the same thing watch out.

It's like your child: you can say that your child is lazy, but if someone else were to say that same thing, it wouldn't go over too big.

I believe that people such as Michael Richards and Mel Gibson really show how what they think and believe when they say deplorable things. If Mel Gibson didn't believe what he said, he would not have said so. The same with Michael Richards.

Answer 3

The hecklers were black and from what I understand he wasn't very professional in dealing with them. All good comedians know what to do when people start to heckle them because it happens at nearly every show.

I was shocked about Michael Richards...I thought he was a better person than that.

Answer 4

he lost his cool. he should have been slicker than that but instead he blew up and decided to hit the hecklers below the belt from what i gather it was 2 black dudes who woudnt shut up while he was performing,i dont think he's a racist though in the "heirarchy or races/master race" sort of way. he just really-really made a fool of himself and his publisict is in for some serious work.but yeah bad move there better ways to dig into someone that picking at them over something they have no choice over like skin tone.

Answer 5

If Chris Rock could desire to declare what he needed ( "no longer something a white guy with a penny hates better than a ****** with a nickel," he jokes ...) and Eddy Murphy (the 1st ****** who tried that ****... somebody stated, "******, bale this cotton" and he stated "**** you, Massa"... ) , guy, he optimistic had a mouth on him whilst he first became time-honored then why do you fault a guy ( white or no longer) for what he stated? you are able to't have it the two techniques! I watched a television coach that observed how bill Cosby become going into black neibourhoods and telling young ones to smarten up and learn appropriate English no longer the slang of the day as a results of fact all people who ever makes something out of themselves does not do it by using speaking ghetto. That applies to this, do no longer flow crying wolf concerning to the N word whilst the blackman use the word themselves alongside with icons consisting of Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy then tell Richards ohh you're a verrrrry undesirable guy you stated the N word!!!! there become additionally an interview recently achieved with a Black Congress guy who stated he thinks black human beings could desire to renounce whinning and be greater to blame. You stated it concerning to the proportion of blacks in contact in crime. those human beings could desire to renounce crying the blues and paintings at lifestyles and supply up blaming all and sundry else! Don' let us know that we could desire to help you as a results of fact of your neighborhoods being a large number or ask for money whilst we call you the comparable names you call yourselves. freshen up your act and your mouth and paintings on the comparable jobs something human beings did in our early lifestyles! If a single determine homeless guy can become effective then why won't be able to all people else? inspect Chris Gardner he never whilst finding for charity he did what he mandatory to do to interrupt the cycle... provide up blaming vocabulary as being the blockading ingredient to fulfillment whilst some all and sundry is authorized to apply the word and different are actually not that is only relvant to the sistuations to hand. how are you able to're making it humorous whilst Murphy says it and make it annoying whilst Richards does?

Answer 6

That was all kinds of disturbing. He may feel bad for what he said now, but the words are out there and you can't take them back. Same with all that mess with Mel Gibson. You know that rhyme we used to say when we were kids? "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me". That is a lie if I ever heard one. Physical pain, at least in my experience, will eventually go away, but you will never forget words someone said to you, or how it made you feel. And I don't care who you are...black or white......it is NEVER okay to use the "N" word.

Answer 7

The hecklers were black. He probably didn't understand that, many blacks respond that way when in a movie or club.

Answer 8

thats like so last century. smart people=know ere' bodys equal, so like, thats the gaiest thing ever, coem up with an insult thats not from fantasy land~

Answer 9

i just dont get why a white man cant say that word but jamie foxx can swear up a storm with that word.

Answer 10

poor judgement on his part...he can't make amends.

Answer 11

Sure he was wrong.
