Kramer (Seinfeld show) goes off the deep end

1.  I hate hecklers, and I do believe they should be hung upside down with a fork in their ass.  Not because of their skin color, but because they do not respect the performer on the stage.
 
2.  In spite of that, the performer has to be professional enough to control their temper when they are heckled.  If not, they have no business being on the stage.

Hecklers are just a fact of life in comedy. They generally suck but their are the rare few that make a bad set worthwhile. Some good comics\' careers were started by heckling bad comics.

i guess it\'s ok when eddie griffon does it....

and what were two black men doing at a Michael Richards show?

Black people can\'t go to comedy shows that don\'t feature other black people?

BTW, If you REALLY want to pull that "how come they can say it" card then just body yourself now. Its a ridiculous word that no one should use, least of all white guys trying to get a rise out of some black people that hurt their feelings.

This will just blow over exactly like when Mel Gibson made that comment about hte Jews. It was big news for a week then no one gave a shit.

then why do blacks use it all day long?  please don\'t act like "nigga" is a different word or meaning.
because some black teenage rappers 20 years ago thought it made them sound more "gansta".
it was stupid then, and even more so now.

hurt their feelings?  think MLK jr. got hurt feelings when he was called one?

That chick needs a new video phone.

A lot of black people i know don\'t really care if u use the n word in a non racial way, i.e songs and such, but as soon as you use it in a racial way, youve crossed a line. The n word is just not a good word in general.

[videoholic]

what n word?

how is there even a line?

What are black people?

[Bobs_Hardware]

Holy shit.

Well, I\'ll give him credit for the Planet of the Apes reference. That was funny.

The rest of it was just far too over-the-top. If you\'re going to attempt a faux-racist joke (which it seems painfully obvious to me that that\'s what this is - though I haven\'t seen the video), do not be so angry so as to imply that you\'re actually sincere.

Bad idea.

Oh well. *goes back to watching Seinfeld Season 7 on DVD*.. heh heh heh... "What\'s in the deep end??".. heh heh.. that guy.

Black people have been saying nigga since at least the 60s. My great aunt used to call people niggers on a regular basis. Its not a hip hop thing. Its an ignorance thing.

The hurt feelings thing was about Kramer. I said he was trying to get a rise out of the black guys because they hurt HIS feelings.

I finally got a chance to see the video. It was a bit over the top but he seemed to be responding to the heckler like a lot of comics do. He crossed the line in the end though. A lot of people thought he was joking around (and I bet he was) but took it too far.

I knew some moron was going to bring up the whole " why can such and such say it but not this person" argument.

Its all about the context.

There are white comics that talk about race and get away with it b/c it is part of the act...however this with richards was clearly not part of his act.

anyone have a link to the apology on Letterman?

I have NEVER seen that happen unless they make fun of white people.

That was just insane and uncalled for. I also love their reaction, called him a cracker-ass something.
