in a way they did. people have to learn to stop giving a word so much power. i'm an african american myself, i don't like the word but i don't let it control me. what i don't understand is we can say it to each other but get offended when other people say it. i hardly ever see white people calling each other crackers or rednecks. if we had more respect towards our own ehnicity, other ethnicities will respect us more. i'm not saying what kramer said was not out of line but we have to get over the fact that it's just a word. the word has so much power that it's now called the "n word" which is just stupid. but you know that the media always makes a big deal out of everything anyway so that's no surprise but anyway words only have power if you let it.

i do not ideas human beings using huge words so long because it doesn't experience compelled. each and every from time to time i ask your self if human beings do not purely sit down with a dictionary till they arrive across a be conscious that seems huge and pretentious adequate and then script a sentence to exhibit their fancy new be conscious. and also you could tell even as some authors are doing this because they have got here upon an finished section they prefer and they are operating by it in alphabetical order. no longer everyone looks like this. some authors surely have a wide vocabulary and it won't be able to be suppressed with out smothering the tale. no matter if including words or taking them away, writing is all about searching your human being voice, so what reliable does it do once you attempt to modify it? each and every from time to time simplicity works. It worked for Hemingway. yet fairly some large authors had an really good preparation so that's purely common that they ought to apply lengthy words. do not pay any interest to the different youngsters hon. perchance they idea you've been doing it on purpose to reveal off, yet in view that there is not any way you would possibly want to comprehend you'd be interpreting it in the front of the completed classification then that's truly their situation. i assume this similar youngster wrote a Dick and Jane paper with sentences like 'Dick likes Jane. Jane likes Peter. Peter has a ball.' Blah blah blah...

You've been called a "cracker", right? OK, but as a Caucasian you were never considered 3/4 of a person, property no less. The n-word was used as a derogatory term and Micheal Richardson's tiradge wasn't just using the n-word. He said something about we would've hung you n-word 40 or 50 years ago for heckling. "You're a n*****. You're a n*****." As a white male what you can do is to educate your children on the ignorance that is fueled everyday by hate. I'm a black American and I've been judged on my appearance instead of my intellect because of what I look like. We need to continue a dialogue, and (I hate saying this) I agree with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, we need to boycott the Seinfeld DVD. As Americans we have to make a stand that this type of behavior is unacceptable.

The conservative-biased media made a big deal out of this to instill more hatred, mistrust, and bigotry between the races. It's a way to keep the country divided. -RKO-

Oh yes, and now so are the two fellows that was called the "n" word. But people dont seem to realize, that in websters dictionary, the "N" word, means of colour. So if you stop and think about it, no matter what colour you are your still a ni66er. I'm one and proud.

I think it was overblown. I think what he said was wrong, just as I think someone calling you cracker was wrong, but the huge coverage of this incident was unwarranted. There are other more important things happening in the world to be concerned about.

No. If it were not on video I don't think it would have stayed in the news that long. And he didn't just say it one time...that's bad enough. No he said it 6 or 7 times. He has issues.

I don't think that it was Krammer I think that it was the guy that plays him on t.v. When he was doing Stand up. In no way related to Sienfiend at all.
