Michael Richards (Kramer on Seinfeld) Loses it!

[BlackKnight]

They've cheapened the word so much that it barely means anything until someone who isn't black or hispanic (why they get to get away with it baffles me) says it and then there is a huge ruckus.

 

Which is why I think it is bs that they can get up in arms when a white guy uses it. That's what pisses me off.

[GodPigeon]

Using the word Makes it lose its power like Gryph said, but if nobody uses it, then when white people use it, it would be worst.

Michael Richards rules!

[Mooney]

Man... that is just bad. He must be getting pretty senile.

[Rag]

This shouldn't affect anything, Kramer is Kramer, nothing, racial or not, can change that.

Well, he apologized on the David Letterman show several hours ago.

 

Here's the recording of it:

It isn't broken, it was up this morning when I checked. Google are just being nazis about it.

Well he is damned if does or doesn't apologise, as stuff like this happens to stick like mud.

Out of all the video links in this thread, the only one that works is the 2nd link in GameCop's first post.

 

The first link said you must be 18 or over and it wanted me to sign up. No thanks.

 

Then, the first link of the apology, the video doesn't exist.

The second link, that video also does not exist.

The third link is a private video and again could not be seen.

 

Is there any way to see the apology?

 

Now what's the big deal with the "n-word", so vile that it cannot be said on the TV? It's just a sound.

 

I still have no idea what exactly was supposed to been said.

 

As for Kramer, Seinfeld, I never watched American comedy, I found it to be distinctly un-funny.

 

All I hear is one white guy insulted 2 black guys. So what? People insult each other every day. How is this different?

[L.S.D]

What is Seinfield?

 

Only applies to American..........

[Robert]

Channel 10 showed it but as I said,

 

American comedy = find another channel.

[Weirdy]

somebody educate me on execution techniques please

 

why would the black guy have a fork up his ass?
