is Micheal Richards racist?

[musclemom]

I think he tried to make some sort of a point and it just went bad, or he tried to go over to shock comedy or something. The fact of the matter is, a white person cannot call a black person the N word, but it's a word black people can say to each other. That comment that he made in the end about "there's still those words."

The fact is, some comics just can't handle heckling. I'd really like to have seen what went on five minutes BEFORE the tape got turned out, what was he talking about. A lot of inflammatory stuff taken out of context looks worse than it really is.

Plus it sounded like they called him a cracka first and he responded.

A mother fucker calls me a cracka and I'm going to call him a nigger...I've done it plenty of times, I'm not racist, but you want to talk shit..you're going to get shit.

all the people said before he went bonkers was: "my friends don't think you are that funny".

..... cannot call a black person the N word, but it's a word black people can say to each other.......

Sorta like homosexuals and the word Fag. If any one else says it it's an insult but with in their own it's okay.

He is certainly not a racist, he just lost his cool, happens, not the end of the world, and not a big deal, Mel gibbons deal was well nothing, nothing, meant nothing, just a lot of hype against him,

Hasn't anyone else ever gotten drunk and said things they did not intend?

For Christs Sakes

I think if he would have framed the issue as:

"why is it ok to call white people Crackers, honkeys, or white devils, when you will be virtually Hung if you call a Black person anything derogatory."
I
f he said this, would have at least explained part of his tirade.

Its seems to be permissibale in these parts to be racist toward Whites and Latinos ( I am in California)

Aside from people you know, friends, acquaintances, relatives,

Ethnic groups don’t like each other; certainly don’t love each other,

In general without exception they hate each other.


I have been to China many times, 95% are Han Chinese, That is over one Billion Han Chinese, what ever the heck that is, but they will quickly tell you that in China they have 46 minorities, and they live in, Gongjow, Chongqing and Tibet,

They could fool me, they all look the same,

I’m Swedish, and tell me a part from a Norwegian or a Dane I can’t do it.


Muslims in Iraq, they are all fricken muslims, that is, same to every one,

But the Sunnis hate the Kurds and they all hate the Shiites, They are all muslims, I can’t tell them a part. But they hate each other.


When God said “Love one another, As I have loved you, so you must love one another, “---- I guess he kind of had an idea what we are like.

exactly..it looks and sounds by his response that they called him a cracka 1st and he got pissed and retaliated.

 

[Razorguns]

nope. calling someone a nigger isn't racist. that's why all you folks do it everyday to black people i bet.

calling a chinese person a gook or chink when ur angry at a shop isn't racist either.

morons.

 

[mountain muscle]

I just do not see why this is a big deal.
