Seinfelds "Cramer"...The "N" Word

[Tee]

Okay, have you all been following this?

So the guy from Seinfeld that plays "Cramer" did a stand up comedy act. Aparently, he got a little feisty and used the "n" word several times.

OKay, so now we got pretty much all the black comedians calling for his apology, the black community is outraged.

So Cramer goes on the David Letterman show and issues a sincere apology in a lengthy interview designed for one purpose, to apologize to the black community. The apology was drawn out over several minutes and seemed very sincere to me.

But of course, Immediately aftarwards, the black community, black actors and comedians started issueing statements that it wasn't good enough. It wasn't sincere enough. They are calling for him to appear again before the "black community" and take his licks.

OKay, so here is my take. I know we live in a PC society where whitey is the root of all evil. But why is that Chris Rock, Sinbad, and most all the other black comedians can get up their and make white racist remarks all day long, and we don't say a damn thing, but as soon as a white dude uses the "N" word, the sky is falling.

This is so petty. Then they demand an apology.... and when they get it, it's not sincere enough, it's not long enough, it's not to the right crowd, it's not loud enough, wah, wah, wah.

I am so sick of the double standards.

It's a comedy act folks. No holds barred. Get over it already!

I haven't been following this very closely but I overheard someone say that he was being heckled by one (or some) of those N***** folks; and that's what set him off.

FWIW, islamo-fascists learned that "demand an apology" trick, too.

Neither want an apology, they want confrontation.

From what I read it wasn't part of the act. He was being heckled so he went off using the "N" word...

Nigger, like any onther word, only has as much power as the person hearing it gives to it.

When I worked out at Excel this little mexican fella kept trying to start shit with me and he kept calling me a f*#king white boy... To which I kept laughing because...







Wait for it










I'm a f*#king white boy!

That pissed him off more than anything else I could have done.

I think it's interesting that black comedians can say nigger and cracker and do bad "impressions' of a sterotypical "white guy" voice and it's OK. However, if white guy says the "N" word or does a bit on "ebonics" he's a racist.

Has anyone ever donated to The United Caucasian College Fund? I would cuz "the mind is a terrible thing."

If you look around you can find the set where Kramer goes "off". It looked to me like he was trying to make a misguided point of just what has been said above by others. He got p.o.'d. He's human. He apologized. Some will never Let IT GO! Neither will Rosie O'Donnel....she's bashing Kelly Rippa for bashing Clay Aiken... it's ALL CRAP in the big scheme of things. ALL CRAP

[wordsmythe]

Who's Kelly Rippa?

I think it's all nonsense and with the media adding fuel to the fire - the idiots that only think what and when the media tells them too will ride the wave as long as they can. The 2 gentlemen that were trown out of the club are talkin settlement and thier attorney is right there doin the flappin. Gloria alridge..... ya know the female vulture?

I think the actor tryin to be a comedian will get his just reward - he's poisen now - he'll be off limits for a very long time.

I don't know if it was right or wrong - it would have been wrong for me but I have heard that word so much in my life it doesn't really affect me too much. I don't condone it but I don't jump all over the black or white or brown folks that I hear use it without reservation. I consider it in bad taste but not against the law.

I wonder if Mel Gibson is laughing?

I'm laughin at all the ruckus this has created...... it's just stupid
