Answer 2

What I think is ironic is that people who are condemning this the most are racist themselves. And the reason I say that is because I believe that we are all a bit racist, no matter how much we think we are not. It doesn't make us bad people, we just have to be aware of our prejudices and work on bettering ourselves.

For example, if you brought home a bf or gf that is not the same race/religion as you, they are Black, Asian, Hispanic, Hindu, Muslim, Native American... Whatever. Do you think that your parents would be thrilled? Actually a better question is can you see yourself dating a person of any of the above backgrounds? I can honestly say that I can't and I can honestly tell you that my parents would be very against me dating some of the different races/religions. It doesn't make us bad people. We have all learned prejudices from our families, peers and society. We are all prejudiced! Ask Greek people about Albanians. Ask Chinese people about Japan. Ask North Americans about Native people and Hispanic people and Asians and Muslims and Black people.... The point is, there is always conflict which causes racism.

The worst thing coming out of "Kramer's" racist comments is not that he made a terrible mistake, it's the blind, unreasonable HATE that others are spewing back. Some people will use this and say, "See what they are saying about us. THIS is why we hate them. This justified all of our own racist actions." Look at this situation from a completely unbiased stand point... Wait, that's whole the problem.

Answer 3

So, using fact somebody could probably call you a "cracker" or a "honky", its meant to recommend an analogous factor????? there is thousands of years of undesirable blood using fact of that be conscious. It nevertheless includes a great variety of weight immediately. i don't say it, and that i don't condone anybody else asserting it. Black, white or otherwise. Regardless to what inhabitants says, and how many different ethnicities are in usa immediately, the fact of the issue is that white remains the well-liked race. And thats not in basic terms in this u . s . a .. So confident... using fact the media cares extra approximately rankings, they're plenty extra in all probability to apply it as a applicable information tale. as much as we could like for racism to bypass away and a great variety of those black vs. white debates again to a relax, its nevertheless an extremely emotional subject count number.

Answer 4

Very Sad To See ,Even If He Was Racially Insulted 1st That Was Over The Line.

Answer 5

People can exploded and say regretful things when they cornered and angry. This is a big deal because he is a white Jew and the hecklers were black. If it were a black comedian we would not be talking about it. Black comedians insult whites in practicaly every routine, but don't take my word for it. listen to Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chapple, Richard Pryor, etc. They've all made a career out of insulting whites and jews, no one calls them racist. If you do call them racist then you are labled a racist. He was certainly out of line, but so were they for being rude and distracting. He's learn his lesson

Answer 6

I asked a similiar question earlier, and I was surprised at how many people figured that it was really no big deal.

I do agree that black American comics get away with saying some pretty outrageous stuff; calling each other "n-----" onstage, calling whites "Honky", etc... and that's often accepted for some reason, and it shouldn't be.

But telling Black Americans that they'd be hanging from a tree if this was the seventies? That's pretty vulgar, racist language. I mean, was he hoping they'd all have a good laugh about that?

Answer 7

Uh . . . duh. . . hello. . . .of course he was out of line do you even have to ask, no one should ever feel the need to make comments like that.

but

The audience guy was just as out of line when he called him a cracker (that's a racist remark too), and by interrupting his performance.

All Richards was doing was trying to hurt the guy in the audience and he found the one thing he could say to hurt him and that was calling him the bad word name.

- I give it a day until access hollywood or E! finds the audience guy and does an EXCLUSIVE interview!!! ha ha

Answer 8

Yes he was out of line, but now a least mel gibson will not be at the party alone.

Answer 9

Very much so and his career will pay for it. Possibly the careers of those who sympathize with him and worked with him on Seinfeld as well. Seinfeld better steer clear of this mess.

Answer 10

uhh, from what i seen i think it was a little disrespectful but some people such as carlos mencia and dave chappel make fun of/say comments and use the "N" word.. you know what i mean, but i just don't see how it is any different than a white guy saying it, but it is a little disrespectful..
