I'm not saying what Richards said was appropriate, but the guy in the audience shouda kept his mouth shut. You don't go to a show a bunch of people paid to see and flap your jaws so no one can hear.
This is the most contreversial (sp?) clip I have ever seen. One one hand..free speech is free speech. On the other hate is hate. So where does one draw the line? "kramer" is trying to piss people off. That's what comedians do...get reactions out of people. It worked. He deserves to get his ass kicked. There is no excuse for this. Discusting.
OOOPPSS...I FORGOT TO RESPOND TO THE COMMENT ABOUT HIS CAREER IS OVER? WHAT CAREER IS THAT??? I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS GUY ANYWHERE BEFORE...I UNDERSTAND HE WAS ON SINFELD BUT I NEVER WATCHED THAT SHOW.... WAS HE THE MAIN CHARACTER??? I DOUBT IT... BIG NAME COMEDIANS DON'T HAVE TO PERFORM AT THE LAUGH FACTORY...MOST GET THEIR OWN SPECIAL.. BY THE WAY, IF YOU LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS, YOU'LL UNDERSTAND HIS WHOLE PROBLEM....HE CALLED THE GUY A CHEAP MOFO...WHICH IN MY TWISTED MIND MEANS THAT IN REALITY, HE WAS PISSED ABOUT BEING HECKLED CAUSE HE WASN'T GETTING PAID ENOUGH TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH A HECKLER LIKE THE PROFESSIONAL THAT HE IS NOT......."YOU CHEAP MOFO"="I'M BROKE & NEED THIS GIG BUT FUKK THIS $50 I'M GETTING PAID, I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS, IMA GO SLIT MY WRISTS IN THE BACK"....AND TO SWEETHONESTY'S COMMENT......I'LL PLAY THE RACIST & ADVISE YOU THAT HE'S NOT WHITE, HE'S JEWISH & JEWISH PEOPLE DO NOT CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE WHITE.....SO AS FAR AS HIS "WHITE BROTHERS & SISTERS STANDING BY HIS SIDE" GO AHEAD SWEETHEART, STAND BY HIS SIDE, CAUSE YOU CAN GET KNOCKED OUT JUST LIKE HE CAN.......JEWISH PEOPLE KILLED JESUS SO I DON'T EXPECT LOVE & UNDERSTANDING FROM THIS RACIST JEW.....THEY CAN ALL DIE!!!!! DAMN, DO YOU SEE HOW NASTY THAT SHIT IS????
I like how this dumb ass says 50 years ago he would have stuck a fork up his ass?? I guess that means back in time when white people could do anything to blacks with no fear of prosecution!!!
It's funny that this mofo thinks that it's okay to talk all the shit he talked..WHAT IF I SAID THAT 70 YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE HAD HIM & HIS WHOLE STARVING TO DEATH IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP??? What if I stood on stage and yelled "HAIL HITLER"??? Would that have been funny??? HA HA HA HA HA HA...If you can't take the HEAT..GET OFF THE STAGE!!! If he wants to be a racist, he should go to the trailer park with all of the other "White Power" losers!!! And as far as his apology?? Save it...He might be sorry he said it & it was caught on tape but regardless of that, people don't just spit racist comments unless deep inside they are racists... If I was arguing with someone on the street, I could think of alot more to say to them then to talk about their race...How boring is that??? If everyone believes in GOD, and that he is the creator all men, then you realize that we are all related... I wouldn't want to live in a world where everyone is like me...BORING... I love meeting different people from different backgrounds from different places.
It's about time that we people in America realize that everyone everywhere other than AMERICA hates us & they don't care what color we are. We are all the same to everyone else..... AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SEVERITY OF WHITE COMEDIANS SAYING RACIST THINGS VERSUS BLACK COMEDIANS SAYING RACIST THINGS IS THAT THE BLACK RACE NEVER DID ANY OF THE THINGS TO US THAT THE WHITE RACE HAS DONE TO THEM...PLUS, MOST BLACK COMEDY IS HILARIOUS WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE & ADMIT IT, MOST IS TRUE.... BEFORE YOU POST BACK THAT I AM A RACIST...SURE, I AM... I HATE RACISTS, COUNTRY MUSIC, BEER, AND ANYONE WHO WOULD PRE-JUDGE ANYONE BASED ON WHAT COLOR SKIN THEY HAVE.... CAN YOU SAY I-D-I-O-T-S?????
if u ever watch "night at the apollo or def jams"..they single out a white person and talk shit! no one says anything..it never makes the news..why?..double standard..thats why!
heckling is a part of comedy, and its up to the comic to make an conscious decision as to how to handle the heckler.Kramer could have easily ignored the man and proceeded with his act or simply made fun of mans appearance to embarass him and shut him up, instead, he chose to yell racial slurs. He should be a man and except responsibility for his actions. And to some of you guys who have been saying "if the blacks can say it to each other then why can't we say it" we say it as a form of comradery you say it to insult. in the immortal words of kanye west "racism still alive they just be concealing it" i guess kramer decided not to conceal it any more.
Welllll - he's obviously being a racist prick, though, that's for sure. Talk about a lack of grace or cool! It's interesting that no-one gets to hear what the heckler said.
I don't think it was very productive for the other guy to call him a "white bread" "cracker-ass motherfucker". That is totally sinking to the same level, and shows that man's obviously mutually racist sentiment. "that's uncalled for!" And obviously if a black comedian had said the same exact thing nobody would care. Listen to Richard Pryor - That Nigger Is Crazy! (that's the name of one of his records) There are actually many recorded instances of Mr. Pryor calling audience members niggers. Hey, I think it's stupid for anyone to call anyone else a nigger. Or cracker.
I cant believe he was still going through with the insult!! Was he trying to save his act? but it was the worst that I have seen...No excuse at all...Ignorance
They should have just jumped his ass on stage and beat him....! Yeah, since it did go there, the blacks should have gone there and beat his ass!!! Plain and simple.
WoW… No wonder "Sweethonesty" is standing up for Richards. From reading her comment it seems as if she’s a card carrying member of the Aryan Front too. I’m sure that any idiot can see that the reason Richard’s “Fellow” white brothers and sisters kept quite was b/c they knew he was out of line by even making the ordeal a “race issue”. I’ve realized that lots of bigots like to turn everything into a race issue (Is this true Sweethonesty?). But we can’t be mad at Sweethonesty. I’m sure she learned her ways the same as Richards learned his and those ways ladies and gentlemen came from sucking off the Grand Wizard at every local Klan Rally......Hope you have clean sheets.
Like no one has ever heard the word nigga? Just listen to gangsta rap awhile..and if they can so easily call each other niggas, so can everyone i say! Listen, he was disrespected and insulted FIRST!!! All he did was defend himself. Plus the fact the black guy came flying back with what he's been saying his whole life, CRACKERASS..amongst a bunch of other things that the phone camera DIDN'T catch..mmmmm? Those blacks got what they rightly deserved and everyone knows it and what a damned shame that Richards white brothers and sisters didn't defend and support him like blacks do for each other!!!! It's a damned shame a person would possibly lose thier career for defending themselves with words!!! Those blacks did what they do best and that was to look for some trouble instead of going to see defjam or Chris Rock or one of thier own!!!! They went to throw spears at a white person but got some thrown back at them and didn't like it!!!! They knew there would be some liberal whites to defend them!!!! Trust me when i tell you, they were laughing thier black asses off at the sorry ass whites defending them instead of Richards!!! And that girl saying, Oh my God, Oh my God...she probably listens to gangsta rap and heard alot worse then what Richards had to say!!!! It is just appalling that anyone could defend those blacks that were CLEARLY there to disrespect and insult Richards!!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!
I'm just going to say this... everyone's a racist... it just depends on the degree and race... why is it ok for a African American to call another African American a N***er, and not a Caucasian person to call an African American one? If it's such an offensive word, then why should it circulate at all? Is it ok for Chris Rock to call a Caucasian person a cracker? Is it ok for Any male to call a woman a b**ch? No, it's not to all of the above, but for as long as the words will still hurt, offend, and etc., these words will still circulate. It's very sad what we(humans) will do to another just for a reaction, as seen in the video. He should Never be allowed to speak publicly to another person again, but that's never going to happen. So sad...
