7471. This is a real sad event, when a white comedian can no longer come back with witty funny stuff and has to launch into a racist tirade to feel in control again. Pathetic.

7472. Ahhhh, but chanchito, He did come back with witty, funny stuff. It was almost word for word, (with the exception of using nigger instead of honky), what Richard Prior used in a show I saw many years ago. I miss Richard a great deal. He was a funny man and a good human being. But he did almost EXACTLY the same thing, there was just no one there with a camera phone to illegally tape the show.
Even the recipients of the onslaught laughed. I guess those two black racists just weren't big enough, in Michael Richards case, to do the same.

7473. Maybe the one he should apologize to is God, after all He is the one that we should truly be concerned about offending.

7475. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MICHAEL RICHARDS?!?!?!?! He is sooooooooo disgusting!! I'm having trouble holding my food in!! And now while I"m watching his "apology" on Letterman, it's really coming out!! He's saying he's "not a racist", a blind deaf caveman would be convinced of the fact that he IS a racist!! He's even trying to make excuses 'I improvise on stage, I go into character' there are NO excuses!! He makes me sick!! I'd heard about the one particular word he keeps using over and over AND OVER again, but then when I saw it on YouTube, I must say the "that's what happens when you interupt a whiteman" comment, made me want to stick a fork up his ass! I will NEVER be able to watch a Seinfeld episode without a nauseous feeling everytime Kramer stumbles in. HE SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED ON STAGE TO PERFORM IN PUBLIC.......... EVER!! In cases like this, where you are a public figure (and have been for a long time) I feel we should stand by ZERO TOLERANCE!!

7476. Would it have been different if he had called them ignoarant negros? Probably, same meaning as n*gger but
the public has been so brain washed by the media into thinking that "n*gger" is the worst thing that you can call a black person, that now whenever the word is uttered in a sentence not even directed at anyone in particular they are automatically considered a racist. If I call some who is acting goofy a "retard" does that mean that I am prejiduce against mentally retarded people? NO. It is only a word, and unless you are actually a n*gger(ignorant negro) then it shouldn't bother you.
Most people who are not negro, have used or thought about using the word n*gger at some point in time when they were angry, and if you say you haven't, you're a damn liar!
As you may have noticed I do not refer to someone as african-american. They are black(just as I am white), or negro's if they were born in this country. If you were born in Africa and moved to the U.S, THEN you are african-american, regardless of your skin color. If you were born in the U.S. then you are American of African desent. If we go with the media's definition then I am German-American, not white, but no, I am American of German desent. Race relation will only get better in this country when we stop focusing on our differences. It is the black community that keeps separating itself, i.e. BET, NAACP, United Negro College Fund. If you keep telling someone you can't do or say something, they will keep doing it, that is human nature. Just like telling a child not to touch something, they will do it anyway.

Freedom of speach, no matter who it offends.

7477. Hey, msdot, he was responding to the rude n****s as they always are in public places! They're loud and obnoxious and EVERYBODY knows it. At that time, it wasn't meant as a joke. He was pissed cuz those 'hoods were being disrespectful to him and the other patrons who paid to see him. Like, DUH!! Know what you're talking about before you open up your blue gum mouth!!!

7479. Well, well, well. LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.epado.bravehost.com/whiteslaves09.htm

"White slaves, Black slave owners in America"

"The First Black Slave for Life"
It appears that it was a BLACK slave owner that caused other blacks to become "SLAVES FOR LIFE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's amazing what following the advice of the black racists on here, about EDUCATING MYSELF, can lead one to.

I can't wait to see the rationalization for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7480. YOU ARE JUST GOING TO LOVE THIS ONE TOO. kABLOOEY, for the black racial whine! Let's hear it for the internet. Education in spite of PUBLIC SCHOOLS.


http://www.epado.bravehost.com/whiteslaves09.htm

Blacks and Indians came to own, and abuse, whites in Virginia in such large numbers that in 1670 the House of Burgesses (legislature) proclaimed that " . . . noe negro or Indian though baptyised and enjoyned their own ffreedome shall be capable of any purchase of christians, but yet not debarred from buying any of their own nation." [Original spelling.] "Christian" was a euphemism of the period for Caucasian. Virginia's Slave Code of 1705 provided: "That no negroes, mulattos, Indians, although christians, ore Jew, Moore, Mahometans, or other infidels, shall at any time, purchase any Christian, nor any other, except of their own complexion, or such as are declared slaves by this act.""[73]

This aspect of slave history seems to have slipped by the media and academia without being noticed.

Don't take my word for it! "READ IT FOR YOURSELF".

Educate yourself. I did, and continue to do so!!

7481. There's just no end of information on this subject. I can see why black racists don't want others to know about it.

http://www.issues-views.com/index.php/sect/1006/article/1091

During this country’s period of slavery, many freed blacks worked for years to purchase the freedom of family members. But a great many freemen became slave masters themselves, and for the same reason as whites--to make use of slave labor for the sake of profits. Larry Koger writes, "By and large, Negro slaveowners were darker copies of their white counterparts." Following are excerpts from Chapter 6 of his book, Black Slaveowners: Free Black Slave Masters in South Carolina, 1790-1860 [University of South Carolina Press].

Any comments?

7482. DAMN. This means that my ancestors may have owned slaves, (AND TREATED THEM BADLY.). I'm devastated. OH WELL, TIME TO OWN UP TO MY HERITAGE.

I DO HEREBY HONESTLY AND SINCERELY APOLOGIZE TO ANY AND ALL DESCENDENTS OF, (WHITE OR BLACK OR OTHER INDIAN), SLAVES FOR ANY OF MY ANCESTORS, (CREEK INDIAN) WHO MAY HAVE OWNED SLAVES AND TREATED THEM BADLY! (Although in all honesty, my people were too poor and wretched at the time to own slaves. We had our own problems).

7483. Hmmm, it's ok for a black comedian to be onstage and call white people "honkies" and "crackers" and demean them in 50 other ways other ways while they refer to black people as "niggers" but if one of those durned white guys gets up and does the same thing, he's automatically a disgusting, beligerant racist.

It's unfortunate that so many people are so eager to jump on the bandwagon of politcal correctness. TMZ is obviously there because no mention is made in the story of the equally "racist" comments from the black audience members. They were giving as much as they were getting but it would have tainted the "white guys are bad" point that they were trying to make so they left them out.

Pretty sorry.

7485. How come the news story left out Richards being called cracker-a**?
That sounds like slanted media to me.The journalist wrote: [One of the men who was the object of Richard's tirade was outraged, shouting back "That''s un-f***ing called for, ain't necessary."],but left out the racial comebacks....Richards is absolutely in the wrong, but it's another side of the story you may want to think about.
