Who cares that Michael Richards made some stupid racial slurs in a comedy club? I knoiw it was wrong, but if the comedian would have been black, saying racial things in anger about any other race no one would care. Seems you white people are the only ones not allowed to do it. So who cares about Kramer. Get over it.

petunia: I agree the N word is alot worse than cracker , but thats not my point. Would you be ok if a blackman said hateful things about white people in the same hateful tone? Its a double standard.

barbara m your just as pathetic and stupid as any other racists of any race. Not all white people hate you cause your black(its because your an idiot) its fools like you that give well meaning black men and women a bad name cause dumbass comments like that. All whites arent the same. if they are then all blacks are as well so we all looove chicken and watermelon. Jackass. I agree no one should use the word.

They're not allowed to make racial slurs because they are the race of people who has oppressed other races since the beginning of time!!! No matter how far we've come or what we have accomplished, there will always be people like him who only think of us as '******'. They will always look at the negatives and not the positives of our people. Every race has negative as well as positive attributes, but they (white people) will always hate us PERIOD!!! Therefore I'm not shocked about his actions, Michael Richards only said out loud what every white person wants to say when they're angry at a black person. I don't think he's sorry he said it, he's just sorry where he said it--- on national television. For that comedic idiot to mention lynching of a black person is---- unjust, inhuman, cold blooded, and barbaric. This should anger every black person in this country!
So to you Mr. "Who really cares?", If you are black, then I am ashamed of you. And if you're not black, then your ignorant comments only give weight to my argument.
Sincerely,
Barbara (proud to be black)
PS No one, black or white should ever use that word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As bad as his comment was what about towards the end of the incident when they called him a "Cracker" and a "F**cking Whiteboy" And I havent heard anything about their apology's for their racist remarks yet..
It's a double standard! The fact that rappers say the "N" word (No I don't use it!!) all the time!! And you hear all these little hip hop clowns refer to themselves as it again every other word...I have no problem with the fact that he snapped and called them something they probably refered to themselves as all day long anyway....It was the comment that precipitated it
"If it was 50 years ago you'd be hanging upside down with a fork in your a*s" That blew my mind...
Something like that just doesn't roll off your tongue unless you've thought about it before..That was unbelievably offensive and crossed every line there was to cross in my mind!! The dudes career has been dead for years. So I can't even say he buried himself with that comment...But he sure let people know where his mind lies..He's racist no if's ands or buts about it

I feel Michael Richards is just mad because he is old and washed up!! He got pissed off because someone called him on his lack of "unfunny ness" And the best way to piss off a black person is to drop the N bomb....and boy did he ever!!! I never thought he was funny in seinfeld...but I never laughed so hard as when I saw the clip of him all pissy...saying the n word!! It made him look just as lame and stupid as his jokes are.

I agree, What makes the difference. If the comedian had been black and said the same thing there would not of been a word about it!.

Well Richards is as good as any other white guy who would use a racial slur. He should be held accountable as some schmuck who bags groceries.

altho i am not sure about what you say is true about black's being allowed to say racial slurs (they really got on Shaq when he was joking about the tall Chinese basketball player...I think he plays for Houston), I do agree that the press makes stupid stuff important like this, or Tom Cruise's wedding (who cares??!)
Again we learn that life isn't fair :-(

I care because it was an attack on the man's race...totally uncalled for....there are many other names he could have used..
being called a cracker by a black man is laughable...the N word
is extremely offensive to every black person on the planet...it is
so degrading to a human.
